arXiv 2017年

Tactile data and kinesthetic cues are two important sensing sources in robot object recognition and are complementary to each other. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm named Iterative Closest Labeled Point (iCLAP) to recognize objects using both tactile and kinesthetic information. The iCLAP first assigns different local tactile features with distinct label numbers. The label numbers of the tactile features together with their associated 3D positions form a 4D point cloud of the object. In this manner, the two sensing modalities are merged to form a synthesized perception of the touched object. To recognize an object, the partial 4D point cloud obtained from a number of touches iteratively matches with all the reference cloud models to identify the best fit. An extensive evaluation study with 20 real objects shows that our proposed iCLAP approach outperforms those using either of the separate sensing modalities, with a substantial recognition rate improvement of up to 18%.

Non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM) is a critical problem in creating consumer awareness about electrical power consumption in households with the objective of eliminating wastage and reducing overall energy consumption in a society. Many approaches have been explored in non-intrusive load monitoring in recent times with a focus on machine learning of appliance-level details and user activity from analysis of aggregate power consumption. Several technologies and devices have also been developed to collect power consumption data and perform analysis on voltage and current waveforms. However, not much work has been done in analyzing NILM data against demographic parameters such as time of day or day of week as well as occupancy data of households. This article presents a novel approach to identifying active devices and predicting future power usage using demographic data in addition to aggregate power usage over time. We find that SVM (Support Vector Machine) with Edge Analysis works best for device identification and ARMA (Autoregressive Moving Average Model)works best for predicting future power consumption using time series forecasting. We have also collected real aggregate power consumption data from a typical household in India and produced perhaps the first such dataset.

This work presents an algorithm for automated real-time ramp detection using 3D point cloud data in the context of shared-control powered wheelchairs. Limitations in the interfaces available to those with severe motor impairments can make basic maneuvering tasks with powered wheelchairs difficult. Although a significant amount of work has been done on obstacle detection and avoidance, much less attention has been given to algorithms for the safe and reliable detection of ramps and inclines;even though navigating these structures is an important part of urban life. We provide an algorithmic solution for accurately detecting traversable inclines for applications with powered wheelchairs using the Point Cloud Library (PCL) within the robotics Operating System (ROS) framework. All algorithms are implemented first in simulation and later evaluated on data obtained from indoor and outdoor urban environments. We measure the performance of our algorithm with systematic testing on several different ramp structures, observed from varied viewpoints. Results show that our algorithm is successful in detecting the orientation, slope, and width of traversable ramps with up to 100% accuracy and an average detection accuracy of 88%.

The ability to monitor and control distinct states is at the heart of emerging quantum technologies. The valley pseudospin in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers is a promising degree of freedom for such control, with the optical Stark effect allowing for valley-selective manipulation of energy levels in WS2 and WSe2 using ultrafast optical pulses. Despite these advances, understanding of valley-sensitive optical Stark shifts in TMDCs has been limited by reflectance-based detection methods where the signal is small and prone to background effects. More sensitive polarization-based spectroscopy is required to better probe ultrafast Stark shifts for all-optical manipulation of valley energy levels. Here, we show time-resolved Kerr rotation to be a more sensitive probe of the valley-selective optical Stark effect in monolayer TMDCs. Compared to the established time-resolved reflectance methods, Kerr rotation is less sensitive to background effects. Kerr rotation provides a five-fold improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio of the Stark effect optical signal and a more precise estimate of the energy shift. This increased sensitivity allows for observation of an optical Stark shift in monolayer MoS2 that exhibits both valley- and energy-selectivity, demonstrating the promise of this method for investigating this effect in other layered materials and heterostructures.

Skyrmions are particle-like topological excitations, studied in various condensed matter systems and models of high-energy physics (HEP). They occur as stable spin textures in certain planar magnetic materials [1-4] and as configurations in chiral nematic liquid crystals [5], having been originally proposed as model of atomic nuclei [10]. Since magnetic Skyrmions can be accelerated with a current [6-8], they have the potential to encode bits in low-power magnetic storage devices [9]. Drawing on techniques from HEP, we demonstrate that magnetic and liquid crystal Skyrmions interact like orientation dependent, localised particles, explaining previously observed Skyrmion behaviour. This interaction motivates the construction of Skyrmion bags: Textures of high topological degree which we realise experimentally in liquid crystals, and in magnetic materials by computer simulations. These Skyrmion bags configurations are nested multiple Skyrmions, which act like single Skyrmions in pairwise interaction, and under the inuence of a current in magnetic materials. These results emphasize equivalent Skyrmion behaviour in different physical systems, and suggest new, high-density magnetic memory storage devices based on Skyrmion bags.

Phenotypical variability in the absence of genetic variation often reflects complex energetic landscapes associated with underlying gene regulatory networks (GRNs). In this view, different phenotypes are associated with alternative states of complex nonlinear systems: stable attractors in deterministic models or modes of stationary distributions in stochastic descriptions. We provide theoretical and practical characterizations of these landscapes, specifically focusing on stochastic slow promoter kinetics, a time scale relevant when transcription factor binding and unbinding are affected by epigenetic processes like DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling. In this case, largely unexplored except for numerical simulations, adiabatic approximations of promoter kinetics are not appropriate. In contrast to the existing literature, we provide rigorous analytic characterizations of multiple modes. A general formal approach gives insight into the influence of parameters and the prediction of how changes in GRN wiring, for example through mutations or artificial interventions, impact the possible number, location, and likelihood of alternative states. We adapt tools from the mathematical field of singular perturbation theory to represent stationary distributions of Chemical Master Equations for GRNs as mixtures of Poisson distributions and obtain explicit formulas for the locations and probabilities of metastable states as a function of the parameters describing the system. As illustrations, the theory is used to tease out the role of cooperative binding in stochastic models in comparison to deterministic models, and applications are given to various model systems, such as toggle switches in isolation or in communicating populations, a synthetic oscillator and a trans-differentiation network.
