In incremental learning, replaying stored samples from previous tasks together with current task samples is one of the most efficient approaches to address catastrophic forgetting. However, unlike incremental classification, image replay has not been successfully applied to incremental object detection (IOD). In this paper, we identify the overlooked problem of foreground shift as the main reason for this. Foreground shift only occurs when replaying images of previous tasks and refers to the fact that their background might contain foreground objects of the current task. To overcome this problem, a novel and efficient Augmented Box Replay (ABR) method is developed that only stores and replays foreground objects and thereby circumvents the foreground shift problem. In addition, we propose an innovative Attentive RoI Distillation loss that uses spatial attention from region-of-interest (RoI) features to constrain current model to focus on the most important information from old model. ABR significantly reduces forgetting of previous classes while maintaining high plasticity in current classes. Moreover, it considerably reduces the storage requirements when compared to standard image replay. Comprehensive experiments on Pascal-VOC and COCO datasets support the state-of-the-art performance of our model 1 .

The high-quality datasets and generalized network model combined with robust evaluation strategies serve as a significant benchmark for developing new policies for industrial bin-picking. In this paper, we propose the concept of region-aware grasping, a sim2real cutting-edge system to generate and evaluate 6D poses for robots to pick up novel workpieces from stacked environments. It consists of Region-Aware-Dataset, a large-scale synthetic point cloud grasp dataset; and Semantic-Graspnet, a 6D-wise affordance policy that predicts full 6D grasp pose for stacked workpieces. The introduced Semantic-Graspnet transforms the 6D pose prediction problem into semantic categorization via point cloud encoding and decoding. Meanwhile, we propose a robust evaluation strategy based on pose evaluation and mechanical grasping evaluation, which enhances the robot’s grasping success rate and sorting efficiency. In real industrial tasks, the robot achieves a grasp completion rate of 91.3% in cluttered scenes and 89.2% in densely stacked scenes, demonstrating state-of-the-art results in robotic picking-and-placing applications. Note to Practitioners—This work is inspired by the robotic universal AI technique, which holds an indispensable position in industrial as bin-picking tasks. Leveraging this technology, the robot can proficiently perform picking-and-placing for diverse workpieces. The prior robot grasping policies primarily centered on maximizing the optimization of grasp detection to ensure successful grasping. Nevertheless, limitations still exist regarding efficient datasets, generalized network models, and robust evaluation strategies. Therefore, in order to effectively curtail the development cycle of robot picking-and-placing applications, this paper puts forward a novel region-aware grasping policy for stacked workpieces. We have investigated an autonomous grasp label annotation method and constructed a large-scale synthetic point cloud grasp dataset. Subsequently, a seman

This work presents a comprehensive LiDAR-inertial odometry framework featuring robust smoothing and mapping capabilities, effectively correcting LiDAR feature point skewness using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). While the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is a common choice for nonlinear motion estimation, its complexity grows when handling maneuvering targets. To overcome this challenge, a new framework that incorporates the Iterated Interactive Multiple Models of Kalman Filter (IMMKF) is given, providing a solution for reliable navigation in dynamic motion and noisy conditions. To ensure map consistency, an ikd-tree that facilitates continuous updates and adaptive rebalance is employed, preserving the map’s integrity. To guarantee the robustness of our approach, it undergoes extensive testing across diverse scales of indoor and outdoor environments. This testing scenario simulates absolute GPS denial. In terms of estimated motion, the new algorithm demonstrates superior accuracy compared to existing approaches. The implementation is openly accessible on GitHub
