The perception in most existing vision-based reinforcement learning(RL) models for robotic manipulation relies heavily on static third-person or hand-mounted first-person cameras. In scenarios with occlusions and limited maneuvering space, these carefully positioned cameras often struggle to provide effective visual observations during manipulation. Taking inspiration from human capabilities, we introduce a novel RL-based dual-arm active visual-guided manipulation model(DAVMM), which simultaneously infers “eye” actions and “hand” actions for two separate robotic arms(referred to as the vision-arm and the worker-arm) based on current observations, empowering the robot with the ability to actively perceive and interact with its environment. To handle the extensive redundant observation-action space, we propose a decouplable target-centric reward paradigm to offer stable guidance for the training process. For making fine-grained manipulation action decisions, alongside a global scene image encoder, we utilize an independent encoder to extract local target texture features,enabling the simultaneous acquisition of both global and detailed local information. Additionally, we employ residual-RL and curriculum learning techniques to further enhance our model's sample efficiency and training stability. We conducted comparative experiments and analyses of DAVMM against a set of strong baselines on three occluded and narrow-space manipulation tasks. DAVMM notably improves the success rates across all manipulation tasks and showcases rapid learning capabilities.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and edge-assisted networking infrastructures are capable of bringing data processing and accessibility services locally at the respective edge rather than at a centralized module. These infrastructures are very effective in providing a fast response to the respective queries of the requesting modules, but their distributed nature has introduced other problems such as security and privacy. To address these problems, various security-assisted communication mechanisms have been developed to safeguard every active module, i.e., devices and edges, from every possible vulnerability in the IoT. However, these methodologies have neglected one of the critical issues, which is the prediction of fraudulent devices, i.e., adversaries, preferably as early as possible in the IoT. In this paper, a hybrid communication mechanism is presented where the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) predicts the legitimacy of the requesting device (both source and destination), and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) safeguards the reliability of the transmitted data over a shared communication medium, preferably through a secret shared key, i.e., , and timestamp information. A device becomes trusted if it has passed both evaluation levels, i.e., HMM and message decryption, within a stipulated time interval. The proposed hybrid, along with existing state-of-the-art approaches, has been simulated in the realistic environment of the IoT to verify the security measures. These evaluations were carried out in the presence of intruders capable of launching various attacks simultaneously, such as man-in-the-middle, device impersonations, and masquerading attacks. Moreover, the proposed approach has been proven to be more effective than existing state-of-the-art approaches due to its exceptional performance in communication, processing, and storage overheads, i.e., 13%, 19%, and 16%, respectively. Finally, the proposed hybrid approach is pruned against well-known security attacks

As the adoption of explainable AI(XAI) continues to expand, the urgency to address its privacy implications intensifies. Despite a growing corpus of research in AI privacy and explainability, there is little attention on privacy-preserving model explanations. This article presents the first thorough survey about privacy attacks on model explanations and their countermeasures. Our contribution to this field comprises a thorough analysis of research papers with a connected taxonomy that facilitates the categorization of privacy attacks and countermeasures based on the targeted explanations. This work also includes an initial investigation into the causes of privacy leaks. Finally, we discuss unresolved issues and prospective research directions uncovered in our analysis. This survey aims to be a valuable resource for the research community and offers clear insights for those new to this domain. To support ongoing research, we have established an online resource repository, which will be continuously updated with new and relevant findings.
