In the past year there have been paradigm shifting developments in the feasibility and availability of machine learning tools for the creation of visual and textual works. Two of the most prominent examples of this has been Large-Language models like chatGPT and methods like stable diffusion for generating art from text prompts. Both visual and language arts are often thought of as human activities, so exploring the possibilities and limitations of these tools is important for both understanding automation and improving our understanding of human cognition. In this paper I use a Large-Language Model and stable diffusion in tandem to develop an understanding of what new possibilities exist in computational cognition and design automation through their application. While no single model can recreate the complexities of a biological brain at this time, they can be thought of as analogous to individual neurological structures. For example, a Large-Language Model that is able to reason out and communicate the solutions to simple logic puzzles could recreate some of the functionality of the frontal lobe of the cerebrum. Additionally approaches like stable diffusion can recreate some of the functions of the occipital and parietal lobes. By combining them more complex behaviors and capabilities can be achieved than are possible from the individual parts. This work is in its early stages but is foundational for later developments in design automation, robotics, and computational cognition.

This paper introduces an intelligent system which composes music following the users' instructions. Current automatic music generation models are lack of stability. Meanwhile, they cannot satisfy the preference of different people. To overcome these challenges, we train a Transformer-based neural network to generate short music segments using a dataset. A user can compose music pieces by interacting with a well-trained generator. Our system collects the user's feedback during the interactions, and fine-tunes the neural network to optimize the generator. After a large number of interactions, our system can learn the musical taste of the user and customize a personal automatic music composer for him or her. Our work enhances the application value of generative models significantly, which enables people to compose music with the assistance of artificial intelligence.

A tensegrity-based system is a promising approach for dynamic exploration of uneven, unpredictable, and confined environments. However, implementing such systems presents challenges in state recognition. In this study, we introduce a 6-strut tensegrity structure integrated with 24 multimodal strain sensors, employing a deep learning model to achieve smart tensegrity. By using conductive flexible tendons and leveraging a long short-term memory (LSTM) model, the system accomplishes self-shape reconstruction without the need for external sensors. The sensors operate in two modes, and we applied both a curve fitting model and an LSTM model to establish the relationship between length change and resistance change in the sensors. Our key findings demonstrate that the intelligent tensegrity system can accurately self-detect and adapt its shape. Furthermore, a human pressing process allows users to monitor and understand the tensegrity's shape changes based on the integrated models. This intelligent tensegrity-based system with self-sensing tendons showcases significant potential for future exploration, making it a versatile tool for real-world applications.

Autonomous Exploration Development Environment is an open-source repository released to facilitate development of high-level planning algorithms and integration of complete autonomous navigation systems. The repository contains representative simulation environment models, fundamental navigation modules, e.g., local planner, terrain traversability analysis, waypoint following, and visualization tools. Together with two of our high-level planner releases - TARE planner for exploration and FAR planner for route planning, we detail usage of the three open-source repositories and share experiences in integration of autonomous navigation systems. We use DARPA Subterranean Challenge as a use case where the repositories together form the main navigation system of the CMU-OSU Team. In the end, we discuss a few potential use cases in extended applications.

The shape control of deformable linear objects (DLOs) is challenging, since it is difficult to obtain the deformation models. Previous studies often approximate the models in purely offline or online ways. In this paper, we propose a scheme for the shape control of DLOs, where the unknown model is estimated with both offline and online learning. The model is formulated in a local linear format, and approximated by a neural network (NN). First, the NN is trained offline to provide a good initial estimation of the model, which can directly migrate to the online phase. Then, an adaptive controller is proposed to achieve the shape control tasks, in which the NN is further updated online to compensate for any errors in the offline model caused by insufficient training or changes of DLO properties. The simulation and real-world experiments show that the proposed method can precisely and efficiently accomplish the DLO shape control tasks, and adapt well to new and untrained DLOs.

We present a framework for dynamic trajectory generation for autonomous navigation, which does not rely on HD maps as the underlying representation. High Definition (HD) maps have become a key component in most autonomous driving frameworks, which include complete road network information annotated at a centimeter-level that include traversable waypoints, lane information, and traffic signals. Instead, the presented approach models the distributions of feasible ego-centric trajectories in real-time given a nominal graph-based global plan and a lightweight scene representation. By embedding contextual information, such as crosswalks, stop signs, and traffic signals, our approach achieves low errors across multiple urban navigation datasets that include diverse intersection maneuvers, while maintaining real-time performance and reducing network complexity. Underlying datasets introduced are available online.

Electroadhesive clutches have attracted a great deal of interest in the last decade as semi-active actuators for human-robot interaction due to their lightweight, low power consumption, and tunable high-torque output capability. However, because of the complexity of their dynamics, in most cases, they are utilized in an ON/OFF-control strategy. In this regard, the non-autonomous (time-dependent) degradation of electroadhesive behavior is an inherent challenge that injects unpredictability and uncertainty into the behavior of this family of semi-active clutches. We propose a novel approach to preventing degradation of electroadhesion using a segmented electrode design that modulates the electrical field on the dielectric surface while using a direct current signal and securing low power consumption. This paper, for the first time, presents an optimization process based on a novel analytic model of the proposed actuator. It also develops a data-driven model augmentation using a hybrid shallow learning approach composed of a long short-term memory (LSTM) architecture which is combined with the analytical model. The performance of the proposed semi-active clutch and the data-driven hybrid model is experimentally validated in this paper.
