    • TravelAgent: Generative agents in the built environment 

      Noyman, Ariel; Hu, Kai; Larson, Kent (SAGE Publications, 2026-02)
      Understanding human behavior in the built environment is critical for designing highly-functional, human-centered urban spaces. Traditional approaches, such as manual observations, surveys, and simple simulations, often ...

    • Cleaning a dark matter detector: A case of ontological and normative elusiveness 

      de Swart, Jaco; Mol, Annemarie (SAGE Publications, 2025-08-30)
      Laboratory sciences crucially depend on the cleanliness of experiments. But what is clean? In this article, we show that the salience of the valuation clean emerges through its relation to a particular ontological repertoire. ...

    • Multi-fidelity reinforcement learning for time-optimal quadrotor re-planning 

      Ryou, Gilhyun; Wang, Geoffrey; Karaman, Sertac (SAGE Publications, 2025-08-22)
      High-speed online trajectory planning for UAVs poses a significant challenge due to the need for precise modeling of complex dynamics while also being constrained by computational limitations. This paper presents a ...
