The Indy Autonomous Challenge (IAC) brought together for the first time in history nine autonomous racing teams competing at an unprecedented speed and in a head-to-head scenario, using independently developed software on open-wheel race cars. This paper presents the complete software architecture used by the team TII EuroRacing (TII-ER), covering all the modules needed to avoid static obstacles, perform active overtakes, and reach speeds above 75m/s (270km/h). In addition to the most common modules related to perception, planning, and control, we discuss the approaches used for vehicle dynamics modeling, simulation, telemetry, and safety. Overall results and the performance of each module are described, as well as the lessons learned during the first two events of the competition on oval tracks, where the team placed second and third, respectively.

During the last few years motion analysis has developed into a major field of interest in image analysis and understanding. Considerable progress has been made as evidenced by the number of publications. However, most of these have been confined to the study of rigid body motion. Very few have addressed the issue of non-rigid body motion which poses many interesting and difficult problems. We propose a new technique for analyzing non-rigid body motion of closed boundary shapes that is based on the computation of skeletons at multiple resolutions. This technique is used for analyzing the structural changes in the morphology of locomoting lymphocytes and, in particular, of their pseudopods.

The authors present a new method for locating discontinuities in one-dimensional cuts through idealized images. The model for such a cut is a sampled, piecewise smooth (C**1) function corrupted by noise. The new method uses an extension of the mathematical definition that a function is discontinuous at a point if the left- and right-hand limits of the function (or any of its derivatives) are unequal. The extended definition is that a noisy function is discontinuous at a point if the difference in the estimates of the limits is statistically significant. It follows from this extended definition that locating discontinuities must be carried out at the same time as determining the structure of the uncorrupted function in a local neighbourhood about the discontinuity (we call this the local structure of the discontinuity). Determining this local structure is an important first step in interpreting the physical event causing the image discontinuity.

A scheme is presented by which a precise visual image can be reconstructed from a combination of these multiple-size representations. The scheme, which supports the position that image analysis begins in the cortex, differs in basic technical ways from other schemes proposed to account for the communication gap and hyperacuity. One such class of schemes is based on (sin chi )/ chi reconstruction filters. The numerical analysis of such filters shows that they require too much spatial support (i. e. , several lobes on either side) to function properly with the limited support apparently available. The present scheme is based on local (Hermite) polynomials. A completely different theoretical position is that the receptive field operators are participating in 'edge detection', but both computational experiments and mathematical analysis provide evidence that this position in untenable.

In this paper, the authors present a novel approach to solving the trajectory planning problem (TPP) in time-varying environments. The essence of our approach lies in a decomposition of the TPP into two sub-problems: (i) planning the path to avoid collision with the static obstacles, and then (ii) planning the velocity along the path to avoid collision with the moving obstacles. The authors call the first sub-problem, the path planning problem (PPP), and the second, the velocity planning problem (VPP). Thus, the decomposition is summarized by the equation TPP equals PPP plus VPP. A variation of an existing approach to solve the PPP is used. They transform the VPP to a 2-dimensional PPP in path-time space. The resulting 2-dimensional PPP is then solved to determine the collision-free velocity profile.
In this paper, the authors generalize the path planning problem to that of the trajectory planning problem (TPP) in a time-varying environment. They present an algorithm to solve a special case of the TPP - the fixed ...

In this paper, the authors generalize the path planning problem to that of the trajectory planning problem (TPP) in a time-varying environment. They present an algorithm to solve a special case of the TPP - the fixed path TPP. In this case, the path is a point set fixed in space and the aim is to determine the velocity of a robot vehicle moving along this path from an initial position to a final position while avoiding moving obstacles. The solution is essentially equivalent to a (static) 2-D path planning problem. Graph searching techniques are used to construct the velocity profile.

This paper presents a multi-robot system which assembles integrated circuits. The problems addressed are the calibration of the robotic station, the control of several robots working concurrently, and pattern recognition. These problems are discussed in the context of a distributed system. The use of image processing is omnipresent. For instance, vision feedback is used to acknowledge almost every move of the robots and also to calibrate the camera itself. Pattern recognition techniques are employed to detect the exact orientation of an IC die. Several robots are used in order to give more flexibility to the system and allow us to acquire experience which could lead toward a multirobot multitasking system.
