This paper presents synthesis tools for the ROS 2 version of the Flexible Behavior Engine (FlexBE). Synthesis reduces the need for extensive testing and validation of hand crafted controllers by using mathematically precise specifications to generate “correct-by-construction” behavior controllers. Our approach builds upon work using the GR(1) (General Reactivity of rank 1) fragment of LTL to synthesize a reactive hierarchical finite state machine that can be directly executed in FlexBE. The presented work expands on previous ROS 1 tools, and extends them to ROS 2 in a way that supports more general specifications that incorporate environmental states. This paper presents an accessible open-source demonstration that serves as a general introduction to these powerful synthesis techniques.

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) is one of the promising technology for the next-generation wireless networks. The RIS reflects the received signal with phase shift introduced by reflecting elements without analog to digital conversion. In relay transmission scenario, RIS could be exploited to enhance the network coverage and improve transmission performance. In this paper, we consider RIS-assisted full-duplex (FD) relay transmission scenario. In the considered scenario, RIS and FD relay node performs relay transmission. Although the beamformed signal could be generated by phase shift of RIS, the interference from RIS to FD relay node may degrade the throughput performance. The proposed method cancels both of interference from RIS and self-interference at the FD relay node by estimating interference channels in the preparation phase before data transmission.

The acoustic background plays a crucial role in natural conversation. It provides context and helps listeners understand the environment, but a strong background makes it difficult for listeners to understand spoken words. The appropriate handling of these backgrounds is situation-dependent: Although it may be necessary to remove background to ensure speech clarity, preserving the background is sometimes crucial to maintaining the contextual integrity of the speech. Despite recent advancements in zero-shot Text-to-Speech technologies, current systems often struggle with speech prompts containing backgrounds. To address these challenges, we propose a Controllable Masked Speech Prediction strategy coupled with a dual-speaker encoder, utilizing a task-related control signal to guide the prediction of dual background removal and preservation targets. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach enables precise control over the removal or preservation of background across various acoustic conditions and exhibits strong generalization capabilities in unseen scenarios.

Recent advancements in speech enhancement (SE) techniques have greatly improved speech clarity and intelligibility in challenging acoustic environments. However, integrating SE into automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems often results in performance degradation due to artifacts introduced during the enhancement process. While various methods have enhanced recognition accuracy in SE-ASR systems, they often require fine-tuning or re-training of SE or ASR models, which is impractical in many real-world applications. In this paper, we propose a lightweight distortion suppression (DS) network that addresses these artifacts without modifying the SE or ASR models, treating them as fixed black boxes. The DS module operates on the time-frequency (T-F) bands of the original and enhanced complex spectrograms, efficiently compensating for SE distortions using the original T-F information. We validate our approach through experiments on both Mandarin and English ASR tasks using monaural and multi-channel SE frontends, across various ASR backends. Results show that the DS module significantly improves the performance of SE-ASR systems, even when used with robust commercial ASR backends.

This work presents a method for automated excavation speed and progress estimation. First, a measure for the progress speed of an excavation pit is taken from the literature and evaluated regarding the possibility of automation. For each possible parameter, an automated extraction algorithm is presented. The used system is an autonomous excavator arm of a backhoe loader where the used hardware and software system is described. An experimental evaluation of the presented approach has been done with the autonomous system for a small trench, including multiple digging cycles. The resulting measurements seem to include some systematic errors which could be identified and suitable sanity checks could be implemented, removing the erroneous measurements. The remaining measurements were used to determine the excavation speed of the autonomous excavator arm and compared to the values of experienced and amateur operators. The resulting speed and the relevant parameters are then sent to a web application called “DiBa” to notice a potential delay. If a measurement is smaller or larger than expected a fault identification is done in the DiBa.
