In this paper, a novel strategy for practical inspection planning in dry docks using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is presented. Planning is a fundamental prerequisite for accurate navigation and control of the UAV. The proposed method utilises the random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm to extract plane models from a voxel grid representation of the environment. For high-level planning, semantic knowledge of the environment is leveraged in a novel manner to exploit of structured obstacles, such as straight walls and orthogonal corners. In order to deal with lower-level navigation, the approach incorporates a simple graph-based local replanner to generate paths that avoid obstacles in the environment. The proposed method is compared with state-of-the-art graph-based planner in simulation and subsequently evaluated in a real environment. The paper maintains the use case of UAV vessel inspection and presents exhaustive simulation and field testing, which demonstrate the viability of the proposed approach in a fully working large-scale industrial environment.

The capability to navigate safely in an unstructured environment is crucial when deploying robotic systems in real-world scenarios. Recently, control barrier function (CBF) based approaches have been highly effective in synthesizing safety-critical controllers. In this work, we propose a novel CBF-based local planner comprised of two components: Vessel and Mariner. The Vessel is a novel scaling factor based CBF formulation that synthesizes CBFs using only point cloud data. The Mariner is a CBF-based preview control framework that is used to mitigate getting stuck in spurious equilibria during navigation. To demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed approach, we first compare the proposed point cloud based CBF formulation with other point cloud based CBF formulations. Then, we demonstrate the performance of our proposed approach and its integration with global planners using experimental studies on the Unitree B1 and Unitree Go2 quadruped robots in various environments. © 2024, CC BY.

Inverse Kinematics (IK) is one of the most fundamental challenges in robotics. It refers to the process of determining the joint configurations required to achieve the desired position and orientation (pose) of a robot end-effector. Although numerous Data-Driven (DD) IK solvers have demonstrated encouraging results, they have not achieved the same accuracy when compared to other IK methods for complex robot configurations (e.g., numerical methods for higher Degrees of Freedom (DoF)). In this work, we propose a new Learning-by-Example method, and show that such a scheme considerably improves the IK learning results when compared to other DD learners. In our approach, the network input incorporates an example of joint-pose pair along with the query pose to predict the desired robot joint configuration. We show that the example joint-pose pair does not need to be too close to the query – i.e. example and query can be as far as 20 degrees apart in the joint configuration space. Furthermore, we investigate the utilization of residual and dense skip connections in Multilayer Perceptron for DDIK solvers and employ the resulting networks for two redundant robotic manipulators: a 7-DoF-7R commensurate robot and a 7DoF-2RP4R incommensurate robot. Our experimental results show that the resulting DDIK solver can reliably predict IK solutions with accuracy better than 1mm in position and 1deg in orientation.

Prediction of subsurface oil reservoir pressure are critical to hydrocarbon production. However, the accurate pressure estimation faces great challenges due to the complexity and uncertainty of reservoir. The underground seepage flow and petrophysical parameters (permeability and porosity) are important but difficult to measure in oilfield. Deep learning methods have been successfully used in reservoir engineering and oil & gas production process. In this study, the effective but inaccessible subsurface seepage fields are not used, only the spatial coordinates and temporal information are selected as model input to predict reservoir pressure. A stacked GRU-based deep learning model is proposed to map the relationship between spatio-temporal data and reservoir pressure. The proposed deep learning method is verified by using a three-dimensional reservoir model, and compared with commonly-used methods. The results show that the stacked GRU model has a better performance and higher accuracy than other deep learning or machine learning methods in pressure prediction. © 2023 IEEE.

In human-robot interaction (HRI), human pose estimation is a necessary technology for the robot to perceive the dynamic environment and make interactive actions. Recently, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been increasingly used for 2D to 3D pose estimation tasks since the skeleton topologies can be viewed as graph structures. In this paper, we propose a novel graph convolutional network architecture, Multi-scale Multi-branch Fusion Graph Convolutional Networks (MSMB-GCN), for 3D Human Pose Estimation(3D HPE) task. The proposed model consists of multiple GCN blocks with a multi-branch architecture. This multi-branch architecture enables the model to get multi-scale features for human skeletal representations. The group of GCN blocks, which has strong multi-level feature extraction capabilities, allows the model to learn global and local features, lower-level and higher-level features. Experiment results on the HumanPose benchmark demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art and ablation studies validate the effectiveness of our approach. © 2023 IEEE.

Designing control inputs that satisfy safety requirements is crucial in safety-critical nonlinear control, and this task becomes particularly challenging when full-state measurements are unavailable. In this work, we address the problem of synthesizing safe and stable control for control-affine systems via output feedback (using an observer) while reducing the estimation error of the observer. To achieve this, we adapt control Lyapunov function (CLF) and control barrier function (CBF) techniques to the output feedback setting. Building upon the existing CLF-CBF-QP (Quadratic Program) and CBF-QP frameworks, we formulate two confidence-aware optimization problems and establish the Lipschitz continuity of the obtained solutions. To validate our approach, we conduct simulation studies on two illustrative examples. The simulation studies indicate both improvements in the observer’s estimation accuracy and the fulfillment of safety and control requirements. © 2024, CC BY.

Proactive Robot Control for Collaborative Manipulation Using Human Intent

Collaborative manipulation task often requires negotiation using explicit or implicit communication. An important example is determining where to move when the goal destination is not uniquely specified, and who should lead the motion. This work is motivated by the ability of humans to communicate the desired destination of motion through back- and-forth force exchanges. Inherent to these exchanges is also the ability to dynamically assign a role to each participant, either taking the initiative or deferring to the partner's lead. In this paper, we propose a hierarchical robot control framework that emulates human behavior in communicating a motion destination to a human collaborator and in responding to their actions. At the top level, the controller consists of a set of finite-state machines corresponding to different levels of commitment of the robot to its desired goal configuration. The control architecture is loosely based on the human strategy observed in the human-human experiments, and the key component is a real-time intent recognizer that helps the robot respond to human actions. We describe the details of the control framework, and feature engineering and training process of the intent recognition. The proposed controller was implemented on a UR10e robot (Universal Robots) and evaluated through human studies. The experiments show that the robot correctly recognizes and responds to human input, communicates its intent clearly, and resolves conflict. We report success rates and draw comparisons with human-human experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. Copyright © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

In recent years, the global robot market has witnessed substantial growth, particularly in the domain of service robots. Despite their expanding presence, service robots encounter limitations when operating autonomously in unstructured environments, primarily due to their constrained computational capacities. As a solution, the fusion of cloud and edge computing resources becomes imperative to expedite task inference and enhance scenario perception capabilities. The integration of cloud-edge-device models holds significant promise in bolstering the operational efficiency of robots. This entails the dynamic partitioning of intricate robotic tasks, executed collaboratively across cloud, edge, and device resources. In this landscape, deep neural network (DNN) models play a pivotal role in facilitating a wide array of robotic tasks. The inference time for each layer of a DNN model in actual deployment, emerges as a critical determinant in the model's partitioning strategy. It also serves as an important metric influencing the model's suitability for a specific hardware platform. This article presents an overview of recent advancements in predicting inference and training time of DNN models, summarizes the related methods, and finally discusses the challenges in this field and the research that can be studied in the future. © 2023 IEEE.

Legged robotic systems can play an important role in real-world applications due to their superior load-bearing capabilities, enhanced autonomy, and effective navigation on uneven terrain. They offer an optimal trade-off between mobility and payload capacity, excelling in diverse environments while maintaining efficiency in transporting heavy loads. However, planning and optimizing gaits and gait sequences for these robots presents significant challenges due to the complexity of their dynamic motion and the numerous optimization variables involved. Traditional trajectory optimization methods address these challenges by formulating the problem as an optimization task, aiming to minimize cost functions, and to automatically discover contact sequences. Despite their structured approach, optimization-based methods face substantial difficulties, particularly because such formulations result in highly nonlinear and difficult to solve problems. To address these limitations, we propose CrEGOpt, a bi-level optimization method that combines traditional trajectory optimization with a black-box optimization scheme. CrEGOpt at the higher level employs the Mixed Distribution Cross-Entropy Method to optimize both the gait sequence and the phase durations, thus simplifying the lower level trajectory optimization problem. This approach allows for fast solutions of complex gait optimization problems. Extensive evaluation in simulated environments demonstrates that CrEGOpt can find solutions for biped, quadruped, and hexapod robots in under 10 seconds. This novel bi-level optimization scheme offers a promising direction for future research in automatic contact scheduling.

Control barrier functions (CBFs) have been widely used for synthesizing controllers in safety-critical applications. When used as a safety filter, a CBF provides a simple and computationally efficient way to obtain safe controls from a possibly unsafe performance controller. Despite its conceptual simplicity, constructing a valid CBF is well known to be challenging, especially for high-relative degree systems under nonconvex constraints. Recently, work has been done to learn a valid CBF from data based on a handcrafted CBF (HCBF). Even though the HCBF gives a good initialization point, it still requires a large amount of data to train the CBF network. In this work, we propose a new method to learn more efficiently from the collected data through a novel prioritized data sampling strategy. A priority score is computed from the loss value of each data point. Then, a probability distribution based on the priority score of the data points is used to sample data and update the learned CBF. Using our proposed approach, we can learn a valid CBF that recovers a larger portion of the true safe set using a smaller amount of data. The effectiveness of our method is demonstrated in simulation on a two-link arm.
