Research on autonomous ships is being vigorously pursued globally. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is leading a phased approach to the development of unmanned large ships. In contrast, the development of small ships is progressing independently in countries with a robust recreational maritime culture, focusing on innovative hull designs and systems. The small ship market is distinguished by high rates of used vessel purchases, a preference for cost-effectiveness, and a general lack of navigational aids compared to larger vessels. Furthermore, small ships are often operated by amateurs rather than professional navigators. These market characteristics suggest that the adoption of small autonomous ships will likely lag behind that of larger vessels. In response, our research aims to develop an economical program that enables autonomous operations in existing small ships or provides navigational assistance to inexperienced operators. Initially, we identified the necessary technology and economical equipment required to retrofit existing small ships for autonomous functionality. Subsequently, we analyzed the vessel's motion model to determine suitable control parameters. A straightforward control method was selected to facilitate user comprehension of the ship's status and interaction with the autonomous program. Our goal is to allow users to grasp the ship's motion dynamics through devices designed for autonomous navigation and to effectively implement navigational programs.

Similarity transformation problems are important in robotic instrumentation and computer vision based measurements since in many cases the information of visually observed scene scale is unknown and must be restored for accurate 3-dimensional reconstruction. In existing solvers, the scale is often considered as a scalar, i.e., isotropic, which may be invalid for anisotropic-scale setups. This paper exploits some mathematical coincidences that will lead to efficient solution to these problems. Possible further applications also include hand-eye calibration and structure-from-motion. We revisit pose estimation problems within the framework of similarity transformation, the one that considers scale-stretching, rotation and translation simultaneously. Two major problems are taken into account, i.e., the scale-stretching point-cloud registration and perspective-n-points (PnP). It has been found out that these two problems are quite similar. Moreover, we solve the anisotropic-scale registration problem that is important and is a remaining unsolved one in previous literatures. To compute the globally optimal solution of these non-convex problems, algebraic solution is obtained to compute all local minima using computationally efficient methods. The designed algorithm is deployed for robotic-arm pose estimation. We also extend the algorithm for solving the problem of robust magnetometer calibration. Visual pose experiments verify the superiority of the proposed method compared with representatives, including P3P, Lambda-Twist P3P and EPnP, which can be reproduced by repository in https://***/zarathustr/APnP.

Bio-inspired soft robotic legs can be designed by utilizing continuous deformation to perform desired functions such as increasing propulsion force. Previous studies of legged robots have improved locomotion performance by simplifying animal legs as a single spring and mimicking the function of its elasticity during locomotion. This study proposes a one-piece 3D-printed leg that can kick the ground backward strongly by increasing the horizontal component of the elastic force (i.e., by designing two-dimensional elasticity). The geometry and stiffness of the leg were optimized via a combination of physical simulation and a genetic algorithm to achieve the function. Experiments using a prototype hexapod robot were conducted to compare a leg designed using the proposed method and two additional deteriorated types of legs by measuring locomotion speed. Angle of attack (angle at which the legs touch the ground) was also changed in this experiment. The experimental results indicate that designing the two-dimensional elasticity of legs can contribute to increasing propulsion force, resulting in higher locomotion speed. This study suggests that soft robotic parts with various functions, such as hands and arms, can be designed using continuous deformation and one-piece 3D-printed parts.

In this paper, we detect bacteria from Gram stained smears images by the object detectors of SSD, M2Det, RT-DETR and YOLOv8. Then, we show that SSD and M2Det are not appropriate for detecting bacteria. Also we show that RT-DETR with pre-training and the variation of YOLOv8 shifting convolution layers are more appropriate to detect bacteria than standard YOLOv8.

This paper introduces a novel approach for modeling the dynamics of soft robots, utilizing a differentiable filter architecture. The proposed approach enables end-to-end training to learn system dynamics, noise characteristics, and temporal behavior of the robot. A novel spatio-temporal embedding process is discussed to handle observations with varying sensor placements and sampling frequencies. The efficacy of this approach is demonstrated on a tensegrity robot arm by learning end-effector dynamics from demonstrations with complex bending motions. The model is proven to be robust against missing modalities, diverse sensor placement, and varying sampling rates. Additionally, the proposed framework is shown to identify physical interactions with humans during motion. The utilization of a differentiable filter presents a novel solution to the difficulties of modeling soft robot dynamics. Our approach shows substantial improvement in accuracy compared to state-of-the-art filtering methods, with at least a 24% reduction in mean absolute error (MAE) observed. Furthermore, the predicted end-effector positions show an average MAE of 25.77mm from the ground truth, highlighting the advantage of our approach.
