There has been an increasing interest in studying animal behaviours [1]. In the EU funded project “ChiRoPing: Developing Versatile and Robust perception using Sonar Systems that Integrate Active Sensing, Morphology and Behaviour” [2], the interest is placed on Chiroptera (bats) as bats are the nature’s expert in active sonar sensing [3]. Study of bats’ behaviour is not only of biological intere...

Micro/nanocantilevers have been employed as sensors in many applications including chemical and biosensing. Due to their high sensitivity and potential for scalability, miniature sensing systems are in wide use and will likely become more prevalent in micro/nano-electromechanical systems (M-NEMSs). This paper is mainly focused on the use of sensing systems that employ micro/nano-size cantilever...

Integrating sensing functions into future mobile equipment has become an important trend. Realizing different types of and achieving mutual enhancement under the existing communication hardware architecture is a crucial challenge in realizing deep integration communication. In 5G New Radio context, active can be performed through uplink beam sweeping on user (UE) side to observe surrounding env...

BACKGROUND Despite the widespread use of sensors in engineering systems like robots and automation systems, the common paradigm is to have fixed sensor morphology tailored to fulfill a specific application. On the other hand, robotic systems are expected to operate in ever more uncertain environments. In order to cope with the challenge, it is worthy of note that biological systems show the imp...

Labels are often expensive to get, and this motivates active learning which chooses the most informative samples for label acquisition. In this paper we study active sensing in a multi-view setting, motivated from many problems where grouped features are also expensive to obtain and need to be acquired (or sensed) actively (e.g., in cancer diagnosis each patient might go through many tests such...

Our aim is to develop a comprehensive set of principles for task-specific information extraction and information exploitation that can be used to design the next generation of autonomous and adaptive sensing systems. The significance of this research is that it addresses the widespread and longstanding problem of defining, assessing, and exploiting the value of information in active sensing sys...
