Real-time transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) image guidance during robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy has the potential to enhance surgery outcomes. Whether conventional or photoacoustic TRUS is used, the robotic system and the TRUS must be registered to each other. Accurate registration can be performed using photoacoustic (PA markers). However, this requires a manual search by an assistant [IEEE Robot. Autom. Lett 8, 1287 (2023).]. This paper introduces the first automatic search for PA markers using a transrectal ultrasound robot. This effectively reduces the challenges associated with the da Vinci-TRUS registration. This paper investigated the performance of three search algorithms in simulation and experiment: Weighted Average (WA), Golden Section Search (GSS), and Ternary Search (TS). For validation, a surgical prostate scenario was mimicked and various ex vivo tissues were tested. As a result, the WA algorithm can achieve 0.53°±0.30° average error after 9 data acquisitions, while the TS and GSS algorithm can achieve 0.29◦±0.31◦ and 0.48°±0.32° average errors after 28 data acquisitions. © 2023 Optica Publishing Group under the terms of the Optica Open Access Publishing Agreement.

Map-free LiDAR localization systems accurately localize within known environments by predicting sensor position and orientation directly from raw point clouds, eliminating the need for large maps and descriptors. However, their long training times hinder rapid adaptation to new environments. To address this, we propose FlashMix, which uses a frozen, scene-agnostic backbone to extract local point descriptors, aggregated with an MLP mixer to predict sensor pose. A buffer of local descriptors is used to accelerate training by orders of magnitude, combined with metric learning or contrastive loss regularization of aggregated descriptors to improve performance and convergence. We evaluate FlashMix on various LiDAR localization benchmarks, examining different regularizations and aggregators, and demonstrating its effectiveness for rapid and accurate LiDAR localization in real-world scenarios. The code is available at https://***/raktimgg/FlashMix.

The prospect of assistive robots aiding in object organization has always been compelling. In an image-goal setting, the robot rearranges the current scene to match the single image captured from the goal scene. The key to an image-goal rearrangement system is estimating the desired placement pose of each object based on the single goal image and observations from the current scene. In order to establish sufficient associations for accurate estimation, the system should observe an object from a viewpoint similar to that in the goal image. Existing image-goal rearrangement systems, due to their reliance on a fixed viewpoint for perception, often require redundant manipulations to randomly adjust an object’s pose for a better perspective. Addressing this inefficiency, we introduce a novel object rearrangement system that employs multi-view fusion. By observing the current scene from multiple viewpoints before manipulating objects, our approach can estimate a more accurate pose without redundant manipulation times. A standard visual localization pipeline at the object level is developed to capitalize on the advantages of multi-view observations. Simulation results demonstrate that the efficiency of our system outperforms existing single-view systems. The effectiveness of our system is further validated in a physical experiment.

The joint optimization of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and camera trajectories has been widely applied in SLAM tasks due to its superior dense mapping quality and consistency. NeRF-based SLAM learns camera poses using constraints by implicit map representation. A widely observed phenomenon that results from the constraints of this form is jerky and physically unrealistic estimated camera motion, which in turn affects the map quality. To address this deficiency of current NeRF-based SLAM, we propose in this paper TS-SLAM (TS for Trajectory Smoothness). It introduces smoothness constraints on camera trajectories by representing them with uniform cubic B-splines with continuous acceleration that guarantees smooth camera motion. Benefiting from the differentiability and local control properties of B-splines, TS-SLAM can incrementally learn the control points end-to-end using a sliding window paradigm. Additionally, we regularize camera trajectories by exploiting the dynamics prior to further smooth trajectories. Experimental results demonstrate that TS-SLAM achieves superior trajectory accuracy and improves mapping quality versus NeRF-based SLAM that does not employ the above smoothness constraints. © 2024, CC BY.

Composite materials have extensively been used in the aerospace industry. There are several inspection methods to ensure the safety of these composites;pulse thermography (PT) is one of the most promising ones. Both reflection and transmission modes of PT could be applied. However, few studies reveal the advantages and disadvantages of these two modes. This paper presents a quantitative comparison of pulsed thermal imaging in two modes of reflection and gradual heat transfer in carbon fibres. Experimental work was conducted on carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) samples with different thicknesses and thermal images were recorded in both modes. Thermal images were further processed using statistical analysis and machine learning algorithms. Comparing the results from both modes, there is a marked improvement in the accuracy when the reflection mode is employed. © 2023 SPIE.

Task-oriented grasping (TOG) is crucial for robots to accomplish manipulation tasks, requiring the determination of TOG positions and directions. Existing methods either rely on costly manual TOG annotations or only extract coarse grasping positions or regions from human demonstrations, limiting their practicality in real-world applications. To address these limitations, we introduce RTAGrasp, a Retrieval, Transfer, and Alignment framework inspired by human grasping strategies. Specifically, our approach first effortlessly constructs a robot memory from human grasping demonstration videos, extracting both TOG position and direction constraints. Then, given a task instruction and a visual observation of the target object, RTAGrasp retrieves the most similar human grasping experience from its memory and leverages semantic matching capabilities of vision foundation models to transfer the TOG constraints to the target object in a training-free manner. Finally, RTAGrasp aligns the transferred TOG constraints with the robot’s action for execution. Evaluations on the public TOG benchmark, TaskGrasp dataset, show the competitive performance of RTAGrasp on both seen and unseen object categories compared to existing baseline methods. Real-world experiments further validate its effectiveness on a robotic arm. Our code, appendix, and video are available at https: //***/view/rtagrasp/home. © 2024, CC BY.

In this paper, we propose a method to automatically and efficiently tune high-dimensional vectors of controller parameters. The proposed method first learns a mapping from the high-dimensional controller parameter space to a lower dimensional space using a machine learning-based algorithm. This mapping is then utilized in an actor-critic framework using Bayesian optimization (BO). The proposed approach is applicable to complex systems (such as quadruped robots). In addition, the proposed approach also enables efficient generalization to different control tasks while also reducing the number of evaluations required while tuning the controller parameters. We evaluate our method on a legged locomotion application. We show the efficacy of the algorithm in tuning the high-dimensional controller parameters and also reducing the number of evaluations required for the tuning. Moreover, it is shown that the method is successful in generalizing to new tasks and is also transferable to other robot dynamics.

On Learning Deep O(n)-Equivariant Hyperspheres

In this paper, we utilize hyperspheres and regular n-simplexes and propose an approach to learning deep features equivariant under the transformations of nD reflections and rotations, encompassed by the powerful group of O(n). Namely, we propose O(n)-equivariant neurons with spherical decision surfaces that generalize to any dimension n, which we call Deep Equivariant Hyperspheres. We demonstrate how to combine them in a network that directly operates on the basis of the input points and propose an invariant operator based on the relation between two points and a sphere, which as we show, turns out to be a Gram matrix. Using synthetic and real-world data in nD, we experimentally verify our theoretical contributions and find that our approach is superior to the competing methods for O(n)-equivariant benchmark datasets (classification and regression), demonstrating a favorable speed/performance trade-off.

Over the past decades, point cloud-based place recognition has garnered significant attention. This research paper presents a pioneering approach, denoted as the Multi-scale Point Octree Encoding Network (MPOE-Net), designed to acquire a discriminative global descriptor for efficient retrieval of places. The key element of the MPOE-Net is the point octree encoding module, which adeptly captures local information for each point by considering its nearest and farthest neighbors. Further enhancing local relationships, a multi-transformer network is introduced, utilizing a novel grouped offset-attention mechanism. To amalgamate the multi-scale attention maps into a comprehensive global descriptor, a multi-NetVLAD layer is incorporated. Through rigorous experimentation across diverse benchmark datasets, our proposed method unequivocally outperforms existing techniques in the realm of point cloud-based place recognition tasks, achieving state-of-the-art results. Our code is released publicly at https://***/Zhilong-Tang/MPOE-Net.

Anomaly detection from medical images is badly needed for automated diagnosis. For example, medical images obtained with several modalities, such as magnetic resonance (MR) and confocal microscopy, need to be classified for anomaly detection. The MR images may contain tumors that need to be detected with anomaly detection techniques. In MR imaging, brain tumors are represented as areas composed of abnormal cells that need to be detected. On the other hand, confocal microscopy can be used for retinal imaging. Hence, there is a need to apply classification techniques for diagnosing diseases of the eye, such as Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), which leads to exudates in different regions of the retina. The detection of exudates is necessary for the diagnosis of DR. In this paper, two models are presented for the classification of MR and retinal images. Much research has been done in this area, but it did not achieve high accuracy of classification in an acceptable time. In addition, the previous models did not consider both types of image modalities considered in this paper. The suggested models are Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (Conv-LSTM). They are used to classify normal and abnormal cases of both brain tumor and DR diseases. The CNN model is composed of six convolutional layers and six max-pooling layers. A soft-max activation function takes the classification decision. The proposed Conv-LSTM model is composed of three stages: pre-processing, feature extraction, and classification. The deep learning model performance is better than those of traditional networks. The CNN gives an accuracy of 94.26% for DR classification and 95.8% for brain tumor classification, while the Conv-LSTM gives the maximum accuracy of 96.41% for DR classification and 97.4% for brain tumor classification. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2025.
