Quality-Diversity (QD) algorithms are a new type of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), aiming to find a set of high-performing, yet diverse solutions. They have found many successful applications in reinforcement learning and robotics, helping improve the robustness in complex environments. Furthermore, they often empirically find a better overall solution than traditional search algorithms which explicitly search for a single highest-performing solution. However, their theoretical analysis is far behind, leaving many fundamental questions unexplored. In this paper, we try to shed some light on the optimization ability of QD algorithms via rigorous runtime analysis. By comparing the popular QD algorithm MAP-Elites with (mu + 1)-EA (a typical EA focusing on finding better objective values only), we prove that on two NP-hard problem classes with wide applications, i.e., monotone approximately submodular maximization with a size constraint, and set cover, MAP-Elites can achieve the (asymptotically) optimal polynomial-time approximation ratio, while (mu + 1)-EA requires exponential expected time on some instances. This provides theoretical justification for that QD algorithms can be helpful for optimization, and discloses that the simultaneous search for highperforming solutions with diverse behaviors can provide stepping stones to good overall solutions and help avoid local optima.

(1)Flexible Joint Manipulator (FJM) is a system that can control its joints with high precision. This paper proposes a reinforcement learning (RL) method to control the FJM and achieve output constraint. The RL method can learn from the feedback of the system and adjust the control parameters accordingly. The paper also proves the stability of the system by using Lyapunov stability analysis. Finally, we verify the superiority of RL control method by comparative simulation.

This paper designs a deployment mechanism based on sliding disc for solid surface deployable antenna. Firstly, a method for determining the folded petal posture based on particle swarm optimization algorithm is proposed, combined with the equivalent axis angle theorem to achieve the 1DOF deployment requirement. The deployment mechanism of solid surface deployable antenna is abstracted as a single closed-loop parallel platform. Based on the calculation of spatial mechanism degrees of freedom, the configuration synthesis of this type of antenna is established, and 136 feasible configurations are topologically identified. A detailed design analysis is conducted using the PUSR mechanism as an example. A kinematic model of the PUSR mechanism is constructed based on the closed vector method. The analysis results showed that the deployment process is stable and reliable, verifying the feasibility of the design scheme. Meanwhile, the analysis methods and conclusions can provide technical references for the design of solid surface deployable antennas.

In order to navigate safely and reliably in novel environments, robots must estimate perceptual uncertainty when confronted with out-of-distribution (OOD) obstacles not seen in training data. We present a method to accurately estimate pixel-wise uncertainty in semantic segmentation without requiring real or synthetic OOD examples at training time. From a shared per-pixel latent feature representation, a classification network predicts a categorical distribution over semantic labels, while a normalizing flow estimates the probability density of features under the training distribution. The label distribution and density estimates are combined in a Dirichlet-based evidential uncertainty framework that efficiently computes epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty in a single neural network forward pass. Our method is enabled by three key contributions. First, we simplify the problem of learning a transformation to the training data density by starting from a fitted Gaussian mixture model instead of the conventional standard normal distribution. Second, we learn a richer and more expressive latent pixel representation to aid OOD detection by training a decoder to reconstruct input image patches. Third, we perform theoretical analysis of the loss function used in the evidential uncertainty framework and propose a principled objective that more accurately balances training the classification and density estimation networks. We demonstrate the accuracy of our uncertainty estimation approach under long-tail OOD obstacle classes for semantic segmentation in both off-road and urban driving environments.

As robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have become increasingly relevant over the past couple of years, they will inevitably be key components for industries of all aspects which continue to expand to technological solutions. Particularly, the agricultural industry has progressed to using such means to minimize human involvement and reduce tasks that are time-consuming and costly. Motivated by this, we developed a robot-assisted crop maturity recognition and harvest system to accurately classify and detect the stages of ripeness the crops are in-ripe, medium ripe, and not ripe. Our proposed approach integrates computer vision, image processing, collaborative robotics, and a subcategory of artificial intelligence-transfer learning. The transfer learning-based model is trained to classify and recognize the crop in its maturity stages and locate the crop during real-time detection. Experimental results and analysis in real-world robot-assisted smart agriculture environments successfully demonstrated crop ripeness recognition accuracy, proving transfer learning could be utilized to effectively improve the efficiency and productivity of harvesting processes in the agricultural industry. The future work of this study is also discussed.
