In this paper, we propose an efficient sound propagation and remapping technique based on geometry to enhance immersive sound effects in virtual environments, and suggest a method to interactively represent sound by considering the altitude and slope of the terrain.The proposed technique can represent real-time patterns of sound such as waves and f
Underwater simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) has significant challenges due to the complexities of underwater environments, marked by limited visibility, variable conditions, and restricted global positioning system (GPS) availability.This study provides a comprehensive analysis of sensor fusion techniques in underwater SLAM, highlightin
Soft robots have unique advantages over traditional rigid robots and have broad application prospects in many fields, such as pipe inspections.Several of the reported pipe-crawling soft robots have long actuation periods and small locomotion speeds.Moreover, they lack active steering property to adapt to complex piping systems, such as T-shaped pip
X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning is used to study the physical characteristics of soil and sediment cores, allowing scientists to analyze stratigraphy without destroying core integrity.Microbiologists often work with geologists to understand the microbial properties in such cores; however, we do not know whether CT scanning alters microbial
