In order to safely and efficiently collaborate with humans, industrial robots need the ability to alter their motions quickly to react to sudden changes in the environment, such as an obstacle appearing across a planned trajectory. In Realtime Motion Planning, obstacles are detected in real time through a vision system, and new trajectories are planned with respect to the current positions of the obstacles, and immediately executed on the robot. Existing realtime motion planners, however, lack the smoothing post-processing step - which are crucial in sampling-based motion planning - resulting in the planned trajectories being jerky, and therefore inefficient and less human-friendly. Here we propose a Realtime Trajectory Smoother based on the shortcutting technique to address this issue. Leveraging fast clearance inference by a novel neural network, the proposed method is able to consistently smooth the trajectories of a 6-DOF industrial robot arm within 200 ms on a commercial GPU. We integrate the proposed smoother into a full vision-Motion Planning-Execution loop and demonstrate a realtime, smooth, performance of an industrial robot subject to dynamic obstacles.

The third generation of artificial intelligence (AI) introduced by neuromorphic computing is revolutionizing the way robots and autonomous systems can sense the world, process the information, and interact with their environment. Research towards fulfilling the promises of high flexibility, energy efficiency, and robustness of neuromorphic systems is widely supported by software tools for simulating spiking neural networks, and hardware integration (neuromorphic processors). Yet, while efforts have been made on neuromorphic vision (event-based cameras), it is worth noting that most of the sensors available for robotics remain inherently incompatible with neuromorphic computing, where information is encoded into spikes. To facilitate the use of traditional sensors, we need to convert the output signals into streams of spikes, i.e., a series of events (+ 1,- 1) along with their corresponding timestamps. In this paper, we propose a review of the coding algorithms from a robotics perspective and further supported by a benchmark to assess their performance. We also introduce a ROS (robot Operating System) toolbox to encode and decode input signals coming from any type of sensor available on a robot. This initiative is meant to stimulate and facilitate robotic integration of neuromorphic AI, with the opportunity to adapt traditional off-the-shelf sensors to spiking neural nets within one of the most powerful robotic tools, ROS.

The AI based on radio spectrum sensing is being deployed to detect and classify various interference sources and optimize spectrum allocation in next-generation cellular networks. Radio frequency (RF) spectrum sensing for AI must generate large quantities of RF data whose transport to the AI in the Cloud and at the Edge will incur significant bandwidth and latency costs. Can these quantities be compressed without affecting the utility of the cellular AI models? Our deep learned compression (DLC) model, named HQARF and based on learned vector quantization (VQ), compresses and reconstructs complex-valued samples of RF signals comprised of different modulation classes. In this paper we analyze how the salient (signal-processing) properties of the RF signal reconstructions by HQARF are modified due to incremental compression, and how this affects the accuracy of an AI model trained to infer the signal's modulation class. This analysis is also important as many advanced AI models developed for vision, such as Stable/VQ Diffusion, are trained on the quantized latent representation of the data. Understanding effects of learned RF quantization may help leverage those advanced models in the RF domain.
