Researchers at Kumamoto University have made a significant breakthrough in the field of control engineering by developing a highly accurate mathematical modeling technique for linear periodically time-varying (LPTV) systems. This pioneering research, led by Associate Professor Hiroshi Okajima of the Faculty of Advanced Science and Technology, opens new possibilities for improving technologies such as autonomous driving, robotics, and satellite navigation.
Research team developed CLAP, an RL agent for automated penetration testing. It features a coverage mechanism and Chebyshev decomposition critic, reducing attack operations by 35% and enabling efficient testing on networks with up to 500 hosts.
Tropical marine low clouds play a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate. However, whether they mitigate or exacerbate global warming has long remained a mystery. Now, researchers from the School of Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed a groundbreaking method that significantly improves accuracy in climate predictions. This led to a major discovery – that tropical cloud feedback may have amplified the greenhouse effect by a staggering 71% more than previously known to scientists.
