Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) plays an important role in many fields, one of which is to help unmanned devices such as drones, self-driving cars and intelligent robots to achieve precise positioning and mapping. However, when facing complex or changing surroundings, especially when healthcare robots face a large number of mobile healthcare workers and patients in wards, the hospital environment is relatively complex, and the traditional positioning and mapping methods based on geometric features, such as points and lines, are not able to achieve accurate positioning and mapping results for healthcare robots. This paper mainly focuses on the characteristics of complex dynamic environment, and proposes a method to obtain semantic information of surrounding ring and dynamic point culling strategy for robot localisation and mapping. Experiments show that compared with the current popular SLAM technology, the semantic-based SLAM technology proposed in this paper can help the robot to obtain more accurate localisation and mapping, in addition, using this semantic information, the robot can also better identify the surrounding objects, which lays the foundation for performing more complex tasks.

High-fidelity tracking of glycogen dynamics in living biosystems is critical for exploring the biological role of glycogen metabolism in diseases. However, information on the glycogen state mainly relies on a glucose uptake fluorescence probe 2-NBDG, which has proven to be extremely limited owing to the "always-on" fluorescence, short emission wavelength, and low signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Herein, we for the first time demonstrate a metabolic-activated off-on probe for glycogen through covalently attaching a molecular rotor with hydrophilic glucose at the C-2 position to guarantee good miscibility with a complete fluorescence-off state before metabolic incorporation into glycogen particles.

There is wide recognition of the threats posed by the open dumping of waste in the environment. However, tools to surveil interventions for reducing this practice are poorly developed. This study explores the use of drone imagery for environmental surveillance.

Unlabelled: Cells are building blocks of living systems. Spatio-temporal mapping of local biophysical changes within cells can lead to novel insights into various biological events. As demonstrated in previous works, successful internalization, controlled manipulation, bio-compatibility, and surface-functionalization capabilities make the helical magnetic nanobots, an ideal candidate for local intracellular measurements.

A core organizing principle of the vertebrate brain is its symmetry along multiple axes. However, the structure of these axes, and the precision with which neurons, circuit modules, and brain regions align to them, remain poorly understood. Here, we used 3D spatial transcriptomics to reconstruct the anatomical and molecular organization of the mouse olfactory bulb.
