Pneumatic artificial muscles have wide applications in robotics and industrial fields. Conventional pneumatic artificial muscles generate extra radial deformation during axial contraction, which severely wastes available working space. Inspired by the widely adopted drawstring pr…
Video generative models commonly rely on latent spaces learned by 3D Variational Autoencoders (3D-VAEs). However, conventional 3D-VAEs are mainly optimized for pixel-level reconstruction, which can limit the semantic and spatio-temporal structure captured by their latents. Meanwh…
Wildfire smoke events produce extreme PM$_{2.5}$ concentrations that pose severe public health risks, yet forecasting rare, hazardous-level spikes remains a fundamental challenge. Time series foundation models (TSFMs), pretrained models offering zero-shot inference and efficient…
