Feature engineering is a crucial step in building well-performing machine learning pipelines. However, manually constructing highly predictive features is time-consuming and requires domain knowledge. Although the research area of automated feature engineering has attracted much interest lately, both in academia and industry, the scalability and efficiency of the existing systems and tools are still practically unsatisfactory. This paper presents a scalable and interpretable automated feature engineering framework, BigFeat, that optimizes input features’ quality to maximize the predictive performance according to a user-defined metric. BigFeat employs a dynamic feature generation and selection mechanism that constructs a set of expressive features that improve the prediction performance while retaining interpretability. Extensive experiments are conducted, and the results show that BigFeat provides superior performance compared to the state-of-the-art automated feature engineering framework, AutoFeat, on a wide range of datasets. We show that BigFeat significantly improves the F1-Score of 8 classifiers by 4.59%, on average. In addition, the performance improvement achieved by integrating BigFeat into different AutoML frameworks is higher than that achieved by integrating AutoFeat into the same frameworks. Besides, the scalability of BigFeat is confirmed by its linear complexity, parallel design, and execution time which is, on average, 22x faster than AutoFeat.

With increasing numbers of mobile robots arriving in real-world applications, more robots coexist in the same space, interact, and possibly collaborate. Methods to provide such systems with system size scalability are known, for example, from swarm robotics. Example strategies are self-organizing behavior, a strict decentralized approach, and limiting the robot-robot communication. Despite applying such strategies, any multi-robot system breaks above a certain critical system size (i.e., number of robots) as too many robots share a resource (e.g., space, communication channel). We provide additional evidence based on simulations, that at these critical system sizes, the system performance separates into two phases: nearly optimal and minimal performance. We speculate that in real-world applications that are configured for optimal system size, the supposedly high-performing system may actually live on borrowed time as it is on a transient to breakdown. We provide two modeling options (based on queueing theory and a population model) that may help to support this reasoning.

In this paper we propose a consensus model using fractional calculus, which is an emerging topic in multi-agent modeling. Fractional models have infinite memory and can be understood as a relatively simple extension of traditional calculus. We propose a model structure motivating it by psychological research. For such model we also provide a stability analysis allowing results on possibilities of consensus arising in the modelled group of agents. To achieve this, we use fractional difference equations, which illustrate our considerations for agent groups of increasing complexity.

Research in Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and Autonomous Mobile Robots navigation has demonstrated some success in navigating flat indoor environments while avoiding obstacles. But in common resilience to unsafe conditions, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and autonomous mobile robots have wide applications in security reconnaissance, investigation of an obscure domain, and crisis reaction. Various examinations have been directed on the driving mechanism, motion planning, and trajectory tracking strategies for robots, yet restricted investigations have been led with respect to the obstacle detection and avoiding ability of robots. However, for little scale robots that contain sensitive surveillance sensors and can't afford to utilize heavy defensive shells, the nonappearance of obstacle avoidance solutions arrangements would leave the robot helpless before possibly risky hindrances. In this paper, we present an algorithm for obstacle detection and avoidance system has been developed for miniature Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) and autonomous mobile robots. We show an investigation differentiating heading build rules and relative course directions dodging distinctive operators in multi-specialist conditions, estimating separation between the two robots. The integration of distance measurement and avoiding other robots or obstacles is our observation in a multi-robot environment, where obstacles are also available. In this paper, we have discussed two algorithms, one will try to avoid other robot or obstacles and another will try to measure the distance between main agents to another agent. It utilizes an algorithm so that the system is both compact and power efficient. The proposed system can detect not only the presence, but also the approaching direction of a ferromagnetic obstacle. Therefore, an intelligent avoidance behavior can be generated by adapting the trajectory tracking method with the detection information. Design optimization is conducted to enhance

Due to the lower cost and higher maneuverability, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have found extensive use in both the civilian and military worlds. Path planning, as a crucial problem in the process of UAVs flight, aims to determine the optimal routes for multiple UAVs from various starting points to a single destination. However, because of the involvement of complex conditional constraints, path planning becomes a highly challenging problem. The path planning problem involving numerous UAVs is examined in this research, and a SAAPF-MADDPG algorithm based on Artificial Potential Field (APF) is suggested as a solution. First, a SA-greedy algorithm that can change the probability of random exploration by agents based on the number of steps and successful rounds to prevent UAVs from getting trapped in a local optimum. Then, we design complex reward functions based on APF to guide UAVs to destination faster. Finally, SAAPF-MADDPG is evaluated against the MADDPG, DDPG, and MATD3 methods in simulation scenarios to confirm its efficacy.

Aiming at the navigation problem of unmanned vehicles in extreme environments such as communication interference and limited GPS signals, this study proposes an autonomous navigation method based on binocular cameras. The method enables the unmanned vehicle to complete the task of localization and map building using only binocular images, without the need for other sensors or signal sources. Meanwhile, this study also proposes a local path planning obstacle avoidance method based on depth map, which, when combined with global localization information, can take into account both local obstacle avoidance and global path navigation, and can cope with random environmental changes. The system uses a single sensor for autonomous obstacle avoidance and navigation, which reduces the computational requirements and ensures the low cost of the navigation system. In order to verify the reliability and effectiveness of the system under signal-constrained conditions, the system is evaluated in a simulation environment and a real field scenario, respectively. The experimental results show that the system is able to achieve reliable localization and path planning under signal-constrained conditions.

This paper presents MIMIR-UW, a multipurpose underwater synthetic dataset for SLAM, depth estimation, and object segmentation to bridge the gap between theory and application in underwater environments. MIMIR-UW integrates three camera sensors, inertial measurements, and ground truth for robot pose, image depth, and object segmentation. The underwater robot is deployed within a pipe exploration scenario, carrying artificial lights that create uneven lighting, in addition to natural artefacts such as reflections from natural light and backscattering effects. Four environments totalling eleven tracks are provided, with various difficulties regarding light conditions or dynamic elements. Two metrics for dataset evaluation are proposed, allowing MIMIR-UW to be compared with other datasets. State-of-art methods on SLAM, segmentation and depth estimation are deployed and benchmarked on MIMIR-UW. Moreover, the dataset's potential for sim-to-real transfer is demonstrated by leveraging the segmentation and depth estimation models trained on MIMIR-UW in a real pipeline inspection scenario. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first underwater dataset targeted for such a variety of methods. The dataset is publicly available online. https://***/remaro-network/MIMIR-UW/

One-Sided Lipschitz (OSL) fractional order modeling is a top choice for solving the stabilization issue of nonlinear systems. Despite numerous studies on the subject, there remains a gap in understanding when it comes to fractional calculus. By providing a stabilizing strategy for a certain type of OSL fractional order nonlinear systems, this study fills the gap. A numerical example demonstrating the correctness of the suggested approach and demonstrating its efficacy for the tested class.
