Wheeled robots are highly efficient in human living environments. However, conventional wheeled designs, limited by degrees of freedom, struggle to meet varying footprint needs and achieve omnidirectional mobility. This paper proposes a novel robot drive model inspired by human movements, termed as the Omni Differential Drive (ODD). The ODD model innovatively utilizes a lateral differential drive to adjust wheel spacing without adding additional actuators to the existing omnidirectional drive. This approach enables wheeled robots to achieve both simultaneous reconfiguration and omnidirectional mobility. Additionally, a prototype was developed to validate the ODD, followed by kinematic analysis. Control systems for self-balancing and motion were designed and implemented. Experimental validations confirmed the feasibility of the ODD mechanism and the effectiveness of the control strategies. The results underline the potential of this innovative drive system to enhance the mobility and adaptability of robotic platforms. Copyright © 2024, The Authors. All rights reserved.

The robotic autonomous luggage trolley collection system employs robots to gather and transport scattered luggage trolleys at airports. However, existing methods for detecting and locating these luggage trolleys often fail when they are not fully visible. To address this, we introduce the Hierarchical Progressive Perception System (HPPS), which enhances the detection and localization of luggage trolleys under partial occlusion. The HPPS processes the luggage trolley’s position (x, y) and orientation (θ) separately, which requires only RGB images for labeling and training, eliminating the need for 3D coordinates and alignment. The HPPS can accurately determine the position of the luggage trolley with just one well-detected keypoint and estimate the luggage trolley’s orientation when it is partially occluded. Once the luggage trolley’s initial pose is detected, HPPS updates this information continuously to refine its accuracy until the robot begins grasping. The experiments on detection and localization demonstrate that HPPS is more reliable under partial occlusion compared to existing methods. Its effectiveness and robustness have also been confirmed through practical tests in actual luggage trolley collection tasks. A website about this work is available at HPPS.

Task-oriented grasping (TOG) is essential for robots to perform manipulation tasks, requiring grasps that are both stable and compliant with task-specific constraints. Humans naturally grasp objects in a task-oriented manner to facilitate subsequent manipulation tasks. By leveraging human grasp demonstrations, current methods can generate high-quality robotic parallel-jaw task-oriented grasps for diverse objects and tasks. However, they still encounter challenges in maintaining grasp stability and sampling efficiency. These methods typically rely on a two-stage process: first performing exhaustive task-agnostic grasp sampling in the 6-DoF space, then applying demonstration-induced constraints (e.g., contact regions and wrist orientations) to filter candidates. This leads to inefficiency and potential failure due to the vast sampling space. To address this, we propose the Human-guided Grasp Diffuser (HGDiffuser), a diffusion-based framework that integrates these constraints into a guided sampling process. Through this approach, HGDiffuser directly generates 6-DoF task-oriented grasps in a single stage, eliminating exhaustive task-agnostic sampling. Furthermore, by incorporating Diffusion Transformer (DiT) blocks as the feature backbone, HGDiffuser improves grasp generation quality compared to MLP-based methods. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach significantly improves the efficiency of task-oriented grasp generation, enabling more effective transfer of human grasping strategies to robotic systems.

Safety-critical cyber-physical systems (CPS), such as quadrotor UAVs, are particularly prone to cyber attacks, which can result in significant consequences if not detected promptly and accurately. During outdoor operations, the nonlinear dynamics of UAV systems, combined with non-Gaussian noise, pose challenges to the effectiveness of conventional statistical and machine learning methods. To overcome these limitations, we present QUADFormer, an advanced attack detection framework for quadrotor UAVs leveraging a transformer-based architecture. This framework features a residue generator that produces sequences sensitive to anomalies, which are then analyzed by the transformer to capture statistical patterns for detection and classification. Furthermore, an alert mechanism ensures UAVs can operate safely even when under attack. Extensive simulations and experimental evaluations highlight that QUADFormer outperforms existing state-of-the-art techniques in detection accuracy. (Video1) Copyright © 2025, The Authors.

With the increasing prevalence of autonomous vehicles (AVs), their vulnerability to various types of attacks has grown, presenting significant security challenges. In this paper, we propose a reinforcement learning (RL)-based approach for designing optimal stealthy integrity attacks on AV actuators. We also analyze the limitations of state-of-the-art RL-based secure controllers developed to counter such attacks. Through extensive simulation experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed method. Copyright © 2025, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Control barrier functions (CBFs) have been widely used for synthesizing controllers in safety-critical applications. When used as a safety filter, it 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 unicycle and a two-link arm. © 2023, CC BY.

Control barrier functions (CBFs) provide a simple yet effective way for safe control synthesis. Recently, work has been done using differentiable optimization (diffOpt) based methods to systematically construct CBFs for static obstacle avoidance tasks between geometric shapes. In this work, we extend the application of diffOpt CBFs to perform dynamic obstacle avoidance tasks. We show that by using the time-varying CBF (TVCBF) formulation, we can perform obstacle avoidance for dynamic geometric obstacles. Additionally, we show how to extend the TVCBF constraint to consider measurement noise and actuation limits. To demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed approach, we first compare its performance with a model predictive control based method and a circular CBF based method on a simulated dynamic obstacle avoidance task. Then, we demonstrate the performance of our proposed approach in experimental studies using a 7-degree-of-freedom Franka Research 3 robotic manipulator. © 2023, CC BY.

This paper presents a novel aerial robotics application of instance segmentation-based floating litter collection with a multi-rotor aerial vehicle (MRAV). In the scope of the paper, we present a review of the available datasets for litter detection and segmentation. The reviewed datasets are used to train a Mask-RCNN neural network for instance segmentation. The neural network is off-board deployed on an edge computing device and used for litter position estimation. Based on the estimated litter position, we plan a path based on a quadratic Bezier curve for the litter pickup. We compare different trajectory generation methods for the object pickup. The system is verified in a laboratory environment. Eventually, we present practical considerations and improvements necessary to enable autonomous litter collection with MRAV.

Graph-Based Collision Avoidance Algorithm Among Swarm Agents

International Symposium on electrical and Electronics engineering (ISEEE)

More than one homogenous or heterogenous type unmanned vehicle can work in a coordinated manner and perform large-scale swarm tasks (firefighting, search and rescue, mapping, and military operations, etc.) efficiently in a shorter time by sharing tasks. Collision of these vehicles is among the most significant problems encountered during their work. The crash of the vehicles causes the vehicles to be out of duty and, accordingly, to the mission’s failure. In this study, Quadrotor-type UAVs used as agents can go to any target point by receiving location, speed, and compass information with GPS and IMU sensors. In the application, the agents’ locations were kept and updated in a list in pairs, similar to the traversing process in the Optimized Bubble Sort Algorithm. The projections of the velocity vectors on the agents’ axis (local) on a single coordinate plane are taken to determine the collision situation between these two agents that are traveling instantaneously. These global velocity vectors, whose projections are taken, are re-projected to the edge formed by these two agents in the graph and then subtracted from each other. Suppose the size of the vector is greater than the distance between two agents obtained by any GPS distance algorithm (Pythagoras, Haversine, etc.). In this case, collision is detected, and the separation process is activated. Separation is the process of advancing one agent in the opposite direction of the other until a minimum safe distance is achieved, where one agent entered by the user will not affect the other. Once the separation is complete, the agent moves to the final destination point.
