arXiv:2608.02270v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agriculture 4.0 robotic systems improve field efficiency yet remain too capital-intensive for the fragmented smallholdings that dominate global agriculture. Meanwhile, a growing number of retired low-speed electric-vehicle (LSEV) powertrains retain functional electromechanical value but are destructively recycled. This paper presents TS-MAMP (Telescopic-Sleeve Modular Agricultural Mobile Platform), a remanufactured robot built under 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) circular-economy principles. Retired 48 V brushless-DC (BLDC) hub motors are paired via back-EMF matching, and lead-acid battery modules screened at 60%-80% state of health are actively balanced within a 100 mV inter-module voltage deviation. Together, these reused components reduce the powertrain-and-chassis BOM cost by approximately 60%, to below USD 450 (perception and weeding modules excluded).

arXiv:2608.01767v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ensuring food safety represents a critical public health challenge, particularly when inspection resources are limited and regional sampling data are sparse. This study proposes a Transformer-based framework capable of forecasting fine-grained, city-level food safety risks by unifying over 11 million inspection records with supplemental demographic, economic, and environmental indicators extracted from the Statistical Yearbook. A three-stage pretraining design leverages partial supervision from the Wilson interval (capturing both safety and risk rankings), together with semi-supervised label refinement, to effectively utilize historical records even when local sample sizes are insufficient. Experimental evaluations on data from 2022 show that the proposed approach outperforms baselines significantly.
