Local climate action from the middle-out: the social potential of craft guilds to facilitate low-carbon installations in Germany by Wehden, S, Janda, KB, Jansen, J, Creutzig, F

“…However, research on effective governance arrangements targeting this ‘installation bottleneck’ is limited. To fill this gap, we adopt a Middle-Out Perspective (MOP) and use rich qualitative data including in-depth interviews to study the role of craft guilds within Germany's low-carbon transition, particularly in rooftop photovoltaic and heat pump installation. …”

NTU VIRAL: a visual-inertial-ranging-lidar dataset, from an aerial vehicle viewpoint by Nguyen, Thien-Minh, Yuan, Shenghai, Cao, Muqing, Lyu, Yang, Nguyen, Thien Hoang, Xie, Lihua

“…However, for research on autonomous aerial systems, there appears to be a relative lack of public datasets on par with those used for autonomous driving and ground robots. Thus, to fill in this gap, we conduct a data collection exercise on an aerial platform equipped with an extensive and unique set of sensors: two 3D lidars, two hardware-synchronized global-shutter cameras, multiple Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs), and especially, multiple Ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging units. …”
