arXiv:2601.14468v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a fractional approximation of the AC optimal power flow (AC OPF) problem based on an all-pass approximation of the exponential power flow kernel. The classical AC OPF relies on trigonometric coupling between bus voltage phasors, which yields a nonconvex program with oscillatory derivatives that can slow, or in some cases destabilize, interior-point methods. We replace the trigonometric terms with an all-pass fractional (APF) approximation whose real and imaginary components act […]

Key Highlights: Anthropic has just announced a major partnership with the UK government, hinting that it’s quite ready to penetrate the public-sector AI market. In the announcement post, the company proudly mentioned that it has been selected by the UK’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to help build and pilot a dedicated AI-powered assistant for GOV.UK. On paper, the goal is pretty much straight-forward. Anthropic will help make government services easier to navigate, more personalized, and […]

arXiv:2601.05408v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electromagnetic formation flying (EMFF) is challenging due to the complex coupling between the electromagnetic fields generated by each satellite in the formation. To address this challenge, this article uses alternating magnetic field forces (AMFF) to decouple the electromagnetic forces between each pair of satellites. Each satellite’s electromagnetic actuation system is driven by a sum of amplitude-modulated sinusoids, where amplitudes are controlled to achieve desired forces between each pair of satellites. The main contribution […]

arXiv:2601.00114v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Differentiable rendering is a technique that aims to invert the rendering process to enable optimizing rendering parameters from a set of images. In this article, we present a differentiable volume rendering solution called DiffTetVR for tetrahedral meshes. Unlike previous works based on regular grids, this enables the optimization of vertex positions and the local subdivision of the mesh without relying on multigrid methods. We present an efficient implementation of the forward rendering process, […]

I’ve been working on a deterministic framework called ALYCON that takes a different approach to monitoring the integrity of sequential data. The core idea is that structural ‘state shifts’ (like the IDEsaster exploit in AI agents) can be detected as phase transitions using Information Theory and Optimal Transport. What it does: Measures structural transitions directly—no training data or neural networks required. Calculates Phase Drift (PD) using Wasserstein distance to track distributional divergence. Uses a Conflict Density Index (CDI) […]

arXiv:2601.10877v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Open access to publication, software and hardware is central to robotics: it lowers barriers to entry, supports reproducible science and accelerates reliable system development. However, openness also exacerbates the inherent dual-use risks associated with research and innovation in robotics. It lowers barriers for states and non-state actors to develop and deploy robotics systems for military use and harmful purposes. Compared to other fields of engineering where dual-use risks are present – e.g., those […]
