Mars Avatar Project: Control Without Presence is a conceptual research project proposing a next-generation architecture for autonomous robotic avatars operating on Mars under human strategic supervision. Instead of continuous teleoperation, human operators define mission goals while local artificial intelligence coordinates robotic execution, overcoming the 4–22 minute communication delay between Earth and Mars. The project presents a scalable framework integrating Mission AI, autonomous robotic systems, scientific payloads, and future human–machine interfaces for planetary exploration and infrastructure development. This work is intended as a conceptual foundation for future research in space robotics, AI-assisted exploration, and interplanetary mission architecture.<br>
Vortex beams carrying orbital angular momentum enable high-capacity optical communication and imaging, yet multiple scattering in dynamic medias such as biological tissues disrupts their wavefront. Brownian motion decorrelates the scattered field and invalidates conventional meth…
Miniature reconstructive spectrometers have attracted significant attention for their broad potential applications. However, performance of the spectrometers is heavily dependent on their preset calibration procedure and spectral reconstruction algorithms, and conventional calibr…
<i>Deep learning (DL) methods show promising potential for single-cell data analysis, yet required tremendous efforts in building the models. </i><i>To streamline the application of sequence-based DL methods in single-cell genomics, we established a two-layer CNN model as a basel…
Optical neural networks (ONNs) promise ultra-fast and energy-efficient computing but are hampered by the critical challenge of on-chip training. Here, we propose an on-chip training distillation-guided optical neural network (DGONN) and introduce a forward distilled algorithm to…
