Abstract: A compact vibratory burrowing probe, particularly beneficial in low gravity space exploration environments, uses lateral or stirring-like vibrations to fluidize a surrounding regolith, thereby decreasing the penetration resistance, and compensating for the light overhead weight to improve the burrowing action of the probe into the surface of the terrain of explored moons, planets, or asteroids. Included is a novel vibratory mechanism capable of imparting the novel lateral or stirring vibration, as well as a more conventionally oriented longitudinal vibration.

Abstract: A semantic-driven immersive telepresence system for bandwidth-efficient transmission of three-dimensional human representations. The system extracts compact semantic details from captured image data instead of transmitting complete raw 3D content. Color semantics are derived by estimating scene lighting characteristics using a lightweight model, combined with pre-captured base skin and clothing color. Motion semantics are extracted via keypoint detection of body joints, facial features, and hand positions. A regression-based method using keypoint-anchored vertices (KAVs) maps sparse keypoints to parametric human model parameters in real-time. The system transmits compressed semantic information over networks and reconstructs human representations at receiving devices. A multi-stage neural rendering pipeline with patch-based processing generates photo-realistic visual output.
