This paper presents a design to improve the robustness of visual SLAM(vSLAM). A processing step of feature-removal is added to the tracking thread of the conventional ORB-SLAM2 algorithm to improve the localization accuracy of a mobile robot in an environment with moving persons. Instance segmentation and motion tracking are intergrated to identify motion state of people in an image. ORB feature points belonging to moving persons are removed for further processing of the vSLAM pipeline. The advantage of this method is that the vSLAM can remove feature points of moving people, while retain those belonging to static people in the environment, which improves the accuracy of robot pose estimation. The improved ORB-SLAM2 algorithm has been implemented in a NVIDIA Xavier embedded system, which is integrated to a mobile robot. In practical robot navigation experiments, the average positioning error of the proposed method is within 4cm for 22.4m travel distance. Compared with conventional ORB-SLAM2, the average accuracy of our vSLAM method improves 97% in a dynamic environment with moving people.

Recently, Wang et al. proposed a computationally transferable authenticated key agreement protocol for smart healthcare by adopting the certificateless public-key cryptography. They claimed that their protocol could ensure privacy, resist various attacks, and possess superior properties. After analyzing their protocol, we find that it suffers from some flaws. Firstly, user privacy is not ensured as claimed. Secondly, some statements are inaccurate or missing. Thirdly, it cannot resist DoS attack. In this paper, the details of how these flaws threaten Wang et al.’s protocol are shown.

The work presents a novel wavy channel nanosheet field effect transistor (WCNSFET) and its circuit-level performance. In this work, a single nanosheet is transformed into a wave-like structure to enhance the physical device area, thus showing an improvement in device performance. The device and circuit level performances are analyzed using 3D TCAD simulation tools. Furthermore, the wavy channel nanosheet FETs are analyzed with different number of waves in a single sheet and compared with flat sheet-based transistors for different channel materials (Ge and GaAs). The results reveal the improvement in drive current, low propagation delay, a smooth voltage transfer characteristic, high noise margin, and low energy. The results achieved with this novel device make the device a promising candidate for next-generation low power CMOS applications.
