The field of autonomous systems and sensing technologies is rapidly evolving, with a focus on developing innovative solutions for complex real-world problems. Recent research has explored the integration of estimation and guidance frameworks for simultaneous interception of moving targets, as well as the development of soft growing vine robot systems for pipe inspection. Additionally, there have been significant advancements in underwater positioning systems, security-aware joint sensing and communication optimization, and edge-enabled UAV swarm deployment for rapid post-disaster search and rescue. These developments have the potential to transform various industries, including aerospace, healthcare, and environmental monitoring. Noteworthy papers in this area include: The Cooperative Integrated Estimation-Guidance framework, which proposes a novel approach for simultaneous interception of moving targets. The Hermetic, Transparent Soft Growing Vine Robot System, which introduces a robust and streamlined system for visual condition assessment and mapping within non-branching pipes.
