AI models deployed in real-world tasks (e.g., surveillance, implicit mapping, health care) typically need to be online trained for better modelling of the changing real-world environments and various online training methods (e.g., domain adaptation, few shot learning) are proposed for refining the AI models based on training input incrementally sampled from the real world. However, in the whole loop of AI model online training, there is a section rarely discussed: how to sample training input from the real world. In this paper, we show from the perspective of online training of AI models deployed on edge devices (e.g., robots) that several problems in sampling of training input on the device are affecting the time and energy consumption for the online training process to reach high performance. Notably, the online training relies on training input consecutively sampled from the real world and the consecutive samples from nearby states (e.g., position and orientation of a camera) are too similar and would limit the training accuracy gain per training iteration; on the other hand, while we can choose to sample more about the inaccurate samples to better final training accuracy, it is costly to obtain the accuracy statistics of samples via traditional ways such as validating, especially for AI models deployed on edge devices. These findings aim to raise research effort for practical online training of AI models, so that they can achieve resiliently and sustainably high performance in real-world tasks.

A spontaneous group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is denoted as a swarm of UAVs (S-UAVs). The UAVs communicate wirelessly and cooperate to accomplish tasks. In crisis scenarios such as flooding or earthquakes, all UAVs are at risk of getting damaged and thus non-functional. A non- functional UAV will result in a disconnected network, especially if that UAV is highly responsible for packet forwarding. S- UAV s are dynamic networks; clustering is one of the most adopted routing schemes in S-UAVs. The clustering scheme groups the UAVs into clusters where each cluster is formed of a cluster head (CH) and cluster members (CMs). Only the CH can handle inter-cluster communication. Due to the crucial role played by the CH, its selection is a continuous field of research. This paper proposes an enhanced clustered weighted scheme with redundancy to ensure end-to-end communication. The proposed scheme is based on a weighted formula for the primary CH, redundant CH, and CMs selection. The weighted formula calculates a cluster index based on the distance, the speed, and the reward index. A new component is added to the reward index which is performance. The redundant CH is selected to automatically replace the primary CH whenever it is damaged. If the redundant CH becomes inoperable, the second redundant CH will take over. Each cluster is formed of n CMs and will have n-2 redundant CHs. The results obtained from the conducted simulation experiments concluded that this promising scheme decreases data loss in a crisis case scenario.

While current systems for autonomous robot navigation can produce safe and efficient motion plans in static environments, they usually generate suboptimal behaviors when multiple robots must navigate together in confined spaces. For example, when two robots meet each other in a narrow hallway, they may either turn around to find an alternative route or collide with each other. This paper presents a new approach to navigation that allows two robots to pass each other in a narrow hallway without colliding, stopping, or waiting. Our approach, Perceptual Hallucination for Hallway Passing (PHHP), learns to synthetically generate virtual obstacles (i.e., perceptual hallucination) to facilitate passing in narrow hallways by multiple robots that utilize otherwise standard autonomous navigation systems. Our experiments on physical robots in a variety of hallways show improved performance compared to multiple baselines.

Traffic congestion represents a daunting challenge for all facets of urban development, as well as represents a universal problem in all urban areas, to various extents. In recent years, many cities have adopted the use of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) to manage traffic congestion. These systems are indeed useful, but they are mainly geared to predict real-time traffic congestion, yielding to a certain short-sightedness in our prediction model. Through the use of Time Series Analysis, and Regression models for traffic congestion prediction, we posit that we can address the issue. The data that these models were trained on derives from two datasets, namely a dataset from Kaggle and another from the road traffic footage of Tirana. The data then points to Gated Recurrent Units (GRU) being a more accurate time series category, and Support Vector Regression (SVR) to be a better performer than linear regression.

Despite significant progress in single image-based 3D human mesh recovery, accurately and smoothly recovering 3D human motion from a video remains challenging. Existing video-based methods generally recover human mesh by estimating the complex pose and shape parameters from coupled image features, whose high complexity and low representation ability often result in inconsistent pose motion and limited shape patterns. To alleviate this issue, we introduce 3D pose as the intermediary and propose a Pose and Mesh Co-Evolution network (PMCE) that decouples this task into two parts: 1) video-based 3D human pose estimation and 2) mesh vertices regression from the estimated 3D pose and temporal image feature. Specifically, we propose a two-stream encoder that estimates mid-frame 3D pose and extracts a temporal image feature from the input image sequence. In addition, we design a co-evolution decoder that performs pose and mesh interactions with the image-guided Adaptive Layer Normalization (AdaLN) to make pose and mesh fit the human body shape. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed PMCE outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods in terms of both per-frame accuracy and temporal consistency on three benchmark datasets: 3DPW, Human3.6M, and MPI-INF-3DHP.
