Object detection on edge devices requires a balance between accuracy, speed, and power efficiency. This paper proposes a customized Deep Learning Processor Unit (DPU)-aware architecture for attention-based YOLO variants deployed on AMD FPGAs. Specifically, we evaluate and benchmark YOLOv26 and YOLOv11, two modern attention-based YOLO variants, on the Xilinx ZCU104 across both standard and oriented object detection tasks. We replace unsupported activation functions, substitute split operations with 1x1 convolutions, and approximate the spatial attention mechanism in a DPU-compatible way. All models are then trained and evaluated across six benchmark datasets such as COCO, Pascal VOC, KITTI, DOTA, DIOR-R, and an in-house human presence dataset, and benchmarked across all eight DPU configurations (B512 to B4096) in terms of mAP, FPS, latency, power, and resource utilization. Notably, YOLOv26n and YOLOv26n-OBB deliver the highest end-to-end throughput at 34.05 and 29.55 FPS for standard and oriented detection, respectively, with an average of 5% absolute reduction in accuracy due to quantization while achieving up to approximately 3x lower power consumption compared with the state of the art.}, author = {Karki, Suraj and Ahmed, Qazi Arbab and Jungeblut, Thorsten}, title = {{No Attention, No Problem: DPU-Aware Attention Approximation in Modern YOLO on FPGA}}, doi = {10.48550/arXiv.2607.13106}, year = {2026}, } @inproceedings{7172, author = {Battermann, Sven and Halbe, Mirko}, booktitle = {Proceedings EMV Kongress 2026 : Internationale Fachmesse und Kongress für Elektromagnetische Verträglichkeit}, editor = {Garbe, Heyno}, location = {Köln}, publisher = {Apprimus}, title = {{In-situ EMV Messung und Analyse eines Photovoltaik Balkonkraftwerks mit Mikrowechselrichter}}, doi = {10.15488/21110}, year = {2026}, } @inproceedings{7173, abstract = {Reinforcement learning has achieved state-of-the-art performance in MAV control, waypoint flight, and obstacle avoidance.

Classical planning and model predictive control handle such constraints explicitly, but require optimization or replanning. This motivates methods that combine learned local control with explicit constraint handling. We combine reinforcement learning with control barrier functions to improve constraint-aware execution. We propose parameterized waypoints that encode orientation, velocity, and corridor constraints.

This paper investigates whether combining self-attention mechanisms with explicit spatial observations can improve a policy’s adaptability to varying kinematic topologies. We train a single RL agent to control a robotic manipulator across different degrees of freedom (DOF), ranging from a restricted 4-DOF mode to a fully redundant 7-DOF configuration. Instead of fixed-length state vectors, the method processes the active joints as a variable-length sequence in an attention buffer, enriching each joint’s representation with its relative spatial routing and geometric Jacobian influence. This structure allows the agent to dynamically evaluate the physical utility of its available actuators. The proposed Architecture reaches a success rate of 82.1% across trained topologies and 66.6% on unseen configurations, outperforming MLP and generic attention baselines while remaining nearly collisionfree.

This paper presents an interactive, web-based platform that enables side-by-side visual comparison of multiple neural network segmentation models applied to identical images. The system integrates three transformer-based segmentation models: a face-parsing network producing 19 semantic classes, a SegFormer-B3 clothing segmentation model with 18 classes, and a Mask2Former model for general-purpose scene segmentation spanning 150 ADE20K categories. Key contributions include side-by-side evaluation of model outputs across multiple architectures and image categories, with real-time segment highlighting and a scalable inference caching system that enables model comparisons without requiring repeated graphics processing unit (GPU) computation. The platform organizes a curated dataset of images under a hierarchical category taxonomy, supporting structured evaluation across demographic and contextual variables. As a practical use case, the system is applied within the ADRIAN project to assist in verifying identity consistency across images through segmentation-based analysis. The platform thus contributes a specialized artificial intelligence (AI) tool for systematic segmentation and object detection model evaluation within media analysis pipelines, where selecting appropriate models is a recurring challenge across tasks from identity verification to content moderation.

We present a design framework that extends Viscereality, a bioresponsive VR framework originally developed for breath mapping, to integrate multi-channel biofeedback including heart rate within immersive VR, centered on a particle-based environment that functions as a spatial body-mapping interface. By leveraging bioresponsive breath interactions for embodiment and weak representational aesthetics for cardiac coherence, the framework aims to encode both streams within a shared visual substrate, reducing the attentional task-switching and experiential fragmentation that multi-channel displays otherwise risk. The system translates lung volume into spatial expansion and contraction of the environment itself, maps cardiac coherence onto affective visual dimensions (angularity, brightness, saturation, symmetry), and embeds breathing guidance within the same geometric substrate.
