Rigidly foldable origami tubes with open ends have been reported in the past. Here, using a mechanism construction process, we show that these tubes can be used as building blocks to form new tubes that are rigidly foldable with a single degree-of-freedom (SDOF). A combination process is introduced, together with a possibility of inserting new facets into an existing tube. The approach can be applied to both single and multilayered tubes with a straight or curved profile. Our work provides designers great flexibility in the design of tubular structures that require large shape change. The results can be readily utilized to build new structures for engineering applications ranging from deployable structures, meta-materials to origami robots.

In this paper we propose a framework for instance recognition and object localization in cluttered and occluded household environment for robot grasping task. The whole system bases on a coarse to fine pipeline in combination with the state-of-the-art methods of RGBD-based object detection. We build a sparse feature model by extracting structure key points incorporating texture cues in the train procedure. After that, the paper demonstrates how the algorithm decreases the time complexity and simultaneously guarantees the accuracy of the recognition and pose estimation. Quantitative experimental evaluations are presented using both acknowledged ground truth dataset and real-world robot perception system.

In traditional close range photogrammetry, more than eight coded targets are adopted to determine the relative orientation. Generally, dozens or hundreds are needed for higher precision. It is a tedious task to place them in the scene. In this paper, a new method with less than eight coded targets is proposed. The key idea is the coded pattern not only provides identification information, but also contains substantial location information. A new detection method of coded targets is developed to recognize the coded targets and excavate the location information in the coded pattern. All this location information is adopted to determine the relative orientation. The experiment results show that two coded targets are enough to determine the relative orientation, and three are enough for high precision.

Rough set theory is conceived as an effective mathematical tool to deal with uncertain information. However, rough set is not suitable to deal with dynamic data, some methods are proposed to solve this question. Evolution model of granular decision is an extension for time series sets based on classical rough set model. Its purpose is to research the rules of decision on time series. Evolution model of granular changes the focus from static decision information system to dynamic time series. It researches the regulations of evolution in decision information system which will be changed in time series. It is a new method to research decision information system. Evolution model of granular decision has the unique advantage in application, but it does not have the clear concept for classification of attributes. This paper gives a concept for decision evolution set based on evolution model of granular decision, and researches its effects in application.

Loop closure detection plays an important role in vSLAM for building and updating maps of the surrounding environment. An efficient vSLAM system needs an informative descriptor for landmark description and stablemodel formaking decisions. Most of the solutions dependent on using a single descriptor for landmark description, whereas other solutions proposed to use a combination of descriptors. However, these solutions still have the limitation in correctly detecting a previously visited landmark. In this paper, an ensemble of loop closure detection is proposed using Bayesian filter models for making decisions. In this approach, a set of different keypoint descriptors is used as input to bag-of-word descriptors. After that, these descriptors, i.e., SIFT, SURF, and ORB, are used to construct Bayesian filter models and ensemble learning algorithm for loop closure detection. The proposed approach is validated on a public dataset, namely City-Center dataset (CiC). The results shown that the proposed ensemble algorithm outperforms single model and existing loop closure detection system approaches. It gives 87.96% for ensemble learning and 86.36% for the best single model and 37, 80, 81% for FAB-MAP, PIRF-Nav2.0, and RTAB-MAP, respectively.

Artificial intelligence has been present in literature at least since the ancient Greeks. Depictions present a wide range of perspectives of AI ranging from malefic overlords to depressive androids. Perhaps the most common recurring theme is the AI Assistant: C3PO from Star Wars;the Jetson's Rosie the robot;the benign hyper-efficient Minds of lain M. Banks's Culture novels;the eerie HAL 9000 of Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Today, artificially intelligent assistants are actual products in the marketplace, based on startling recent progress in technologies like speaker-independent speech recognition. These products are in their infancy, but are improving rapidly. In this panel, we will address the product and technology landscape, and will ask a series of experts in the field plus the members of the audience to take a stance on what the future of artificially intelligent assistants will look like.

To find an area where the robot can obtain a higher kinematic performance is a meaningful work for path planning and off-line programming. In this paper, a methodology was proposed to determine the high performance area (HPA) of a 6R industrial robot. Monte Carlo method was used to get a point cloud of the reference point of the end effector. The manipulability measure was selected as a performance index to filter the point cloud. A grid was defined to approach the filtered point cloud and its boundary was then extracted and smoothed. An example was presented to show that the proposed methodology is feasible to determine the HPA of a 6R industrial robot.

Basing on the structure of the pneumatic parallel robot with two degrees of freedom (DOF), this paper studies the control method of synchronous coordinated motion of two cylinders in the parallel mechanism to ensure the horizontal attitude of the end position of the parallel mechanism and the trajectory planning. Two active cylinders in the parallel mechanism cannot be controlled coordinately because of the compressibility of gas, the variety of the load force of parallel mechanism and the difference of cylinder pressure changing in the motion. The paper uses the fuzzy adaptive PID control algorithm with gravity compensation and the object-oriented coordinated method to control the motion of the active cylinder. Firstly, the pneumatic parallel mechanism in this paper is introduced. Then the paper studies on the control method when cylinders swing, which is the fuzzy adaptive PID control algorithm. In the end, two cylinder coordinated motion control method is researched based on the parallel mechanism. The synchronous motion control method lays a theoretical foundation for the study of pneumatic parallel mechanism and improves the pneumatic parallel robottechnology.
