Service robotics in dynamic environments is a challenging yet exciting field that has witnessed incredible advances in the last few decades. The credit for these advancements goes to artificial intelligence and robotics technological progressions. The housekeeping domain is an example of a service robotics domain. A high-level task planner can compute a plan of action, while low-level functionalities like perception and motion planning can ensure feasibility. We propose a solution to the housekeeping problem that utilizes the expressiveness of action language C+ to formalize actions and compute an action plan. To check for feasibility in the real world, we execute the action plans in a physics simulator, GAZEBO. We also propose benchmark instances for the housekeeping domain and evaluate our planning and execution times approach. We report possible execution failures for the benchmark instances and offer plausible solutions, such as hybrid planning, plan execution monitoring, and conditional planning.

This study presents a new development of optimal control based on the prescribed performance model. The prescribed performance is analyzed following the boundaries of the system. The classical optimal control model is modified based on the Riccati-like equation for the upper and lower boundary functions of the prescribed model. To robust the proposed model, the new modifications of the Kalman function are suggested and then embedded in the optimal model. After formulating, the proposed control is applied in the smart suspension system under severe disturbance. The simulation results show that the proposed controller obtains the outstanding properties in control and guarantees the stability of the system

This study develops a wireless gesture recognition system for human-robot interaction using a high-speed marker-based motion capture system that requires no hardware development and no onboard power source. A novel gesture recognition model recognizes four gestures performed while holding a rigid-body object and translates them into robot control signals. The gestures are Flick Back to Front, Flick Front to Back, Rotate Clockwise, and Rotate Counter-clockwise. The system has four main components: a host PC with Vicon Tracker software, a set of Vicon Vantage V8 infrared cameras, a client PC that receives motion capture data and translates gestures to instruct a simulated KUKA youBot robot in the Gazebo simulation environment, and a gesture input unit. The poses of the gesture input unit are used to train the model using a surrogate deep neural network and the XGBoost ensemble method in a semi-supervised setting. The algorithm’s decision-making process is explicated through the implementation of the Layer-wise Relevance Propagation methodology in PyTorch. The control approach is similar to the way trainers teach domestic pets to perform specific actions in response to different gestures. The proposed method offers an alternative to commanding the robot through typing or using joysticks. The current gesture recognition rate is around 60%, but performance will improve over time as new training samples are collected and event detection algorithms are improved to avoid misinterpreting unrelated movements as classified gestures.
