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.

A proposed semi-autonomous search and rescue system identifies and tracks a person using a piloted unmanned aerial vehicle with a downward-facing vision system. This vehicle communicates the person’s location to an autonomous unmanned ground vehicle to recover the target. An object detection neural network and image processing system can detect humans from an aerial perspective using RGB and thermal images. A Python simulation of the ground vehicle demonstrates that the heading and velocity controllers are robust to noise and disturbances.

Continuum robots, while versatile for handling complex tasks, present significant challenges in control system design. This paper introduces a novel framework that integrates position and orientation control laws to address shape constraints effectively. Specifically, a Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) strategy is proposed to facilitate trajectory tracking within the desired orientation. To ensure safety, the framework directly controls the end-effector's position and orientation in the workspace, avoiding unsafe zones. A centralized control law, the Modified Transpose Jacobian (MTJ), is employed to resolve the robot's redundancy without relying on inverse kinematics. The proposed approach is validated through simulations on a Tendon-Driven Continuum Robot (TDCR), demonstrating superior performance compared to similar learning-based controllers.
Multipliers can be used to guarantee both the Lyapunov stability and input-output stability of Lurye systems with time-invariant memoryless slope-restricted nonlinearities. If a dynamic multiplier is used there is no ...

This paper has presented the design, simulation, and real-time implementation of a four-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) robotic system for face detection and tracking. The system has combined kinematic control with deep learning. It has used the Xception network for high-accuracy facial detection. A Fuzzy PID-MIJ control algorithm has optimized the trajectory planning. This has ensured smooth and precise target tracking. Both simulations and physical experiments have validated the system's real-time performance. The results have shown that the system can reliably track faces with minimal error. This approach has demonstrated significant potential for dynamic, human-interactive applications.
