ExoStart: Efficient learning for dexterous manipulation with sensorized exoskeleton demonstrations
Recent advancements in teleoperation systems have enabled high-quality data collection for robotic manipulators, showing impressive results in learning manipulation at scale. This progress suggests that extending these capabilities to robotic hands could unlock an even broader range of manipulation skills, especially if we could achieve the same level of dexterity that human hands exhibit. However, teleoperating robotic hands is far from a solved problem, as it presents a significant challenge …

From Voids to Clusters: Mergers and Evolutionary Pathways of Star-Forming and Quenched Low-Mass Galaxies
The evolution of low-mass galaxies is shaped by both internal processes and environmental factors, yet the role of environment and mergers in regulating their growth and star formation rates remains poorly understood, especially in the low-density regime. This study aims to compare the evolutionary pathways and merger histories of star-forming and quenched galaxies in dense (cluster) and under-dense (void) environments, focusing on galaxies with stellar masses in the range $10^{8.5} \leq M_\sta…

Precision farming powered by K3s and TensorRT
Aurea Imaging is an AgTech scaleup focusing on precision farming in orchards. By retrofitting our TreeScout sensor package to their tractors, farmers are able to collect data about their orchard down to the tree level as they perform other tasks. Using onboard stereo cameras, the tractor’s high-precision GPS, a machine-vision pipeline running in real time on the device, and cloud-based analytics, this data is turned into maps used by other agricultural machines that enable the grower to utili…

New Insights into the T Tauri Binary Separation Distribution
For three decades, adaptive optic surveys have revealed an excess of T Tauri binaries across a = 10-100 au in nearby star-forming regions compared to the field population of main-sequence (MS) stars. Such an excess requires that most stars are born in dense clusters and subjected to significant dynamical processing that disrupts such binaries across intermediate separations. However, we demonstrate that the apparent excess is due to an observational selection bias. Close binaries within a < 100…

The NetMob25 Dataset: A High-resolution Multi-layered View of Individual Mobility in Greater Paris Region
High-quality mobility data remains scarce despite growing interest from researchers and urban stakeholders in understanding individual-level movement patterns. The Netmob25 Data Challenge addresses this gap by releasing a unique GPS-based mobility dataset derived from the EMG 2023 GNSS-based mobility survey conducted in the Ile-de-France region (Greater Paris area), France. This dataset captures detailed daily mobility over a full week for 3,337 volunteer residents aged 16 to 80, collected betw…

Adaptive Per-Tree Canopy Volume Estimation Using Mobile LiDAR in Structured and Unstructured Orchards
We present a real-time system for per-tree canopy volume estimation using mobile LiDAR data collected during routine robotic navigation. Unlike prior approaches that rely on static scans or assume uniform orchard structures, our method adapts to varying field geometries via an integrated pipeline of LiDAR-inertial odometry, adaptive segmentation, and geometric reconstruction. We evaluate the system across two commercial orchards, one pistachio orchard with regular spacing and one almond orchard…

Morphological Feature Distances Among the Spectral Types of SDSS Galaxies
This study investigates the morphological feature distances among various spectral types of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, including strong and weak active galactic nuclei (AGN), quasi-stellar objects (QSO), quiescent, and star-forming galaxies. We evaluated the clustering and relative distances of these spectral types in the multidimensional morphological feature space. The results indicate that AGN and QSOs are more closely associated with quiescent galaxies than with star-formin…

A New Spectral Class of Brown Dwarfs at the Bottom of the IMF in IC 348
In a previous study, we used JWST to identify three new brown dwarfs in the center of a nearby star-forming cluster, IC 348. The faintest object had an estimated mass of 3-4 $M_{\rm Jup}$, making it a contender for the least massive brown dwarf confirmed with spectroscopy. Two of the new brown dwarfs also exhibited absorption features from an unidentified aliphatic hydrocarbon, which were not predicted by atmospheric models and were not previously detected in atmospheres outside of the solar sy…
