Standard-sized autonomous vehicles have rapidly improved thanks to the breakthroughs of deep learning. However, scaling driving mini-vehicles poses several challenges due their limited on-board storage and computing capabilities. Moreover, systems lack robustness when deployed in dynamic environments where underlying distribution is different from learned during training. To address these challenges, we propose a closed-loop learning flow for that includes target deployment environment...

Abstract Sarcomas are mesenchymal cancers which often show an aggressive behavior and patient survival largely depends on early detection. In last years, much attention has been given to the fact that cancer patients release specific odorous volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be efficiently detected by properly trained sniffer dogs. Here, we have evaluated for first time ability of dogs (n = 2) detect osteosarcoma cell cultures samples. One two was successfully discriminate...
