Mobile robots suffer from inherent limitations due to the tradeoff in the amount of energy consumed by their on-board processing components, and the need to increase their operational time. On the communication side, the volatility of communication links severely hinders the ability of a mobile device to rely on computation offloading. The challenge addressed by this paper is the development of a methodology and framework to effectively migrate the location of a service from a system to another, minimizing downtime and striving to reduce any side-effects that may be perceived by the system. Solving this challenge will pave the way for more effective computation offloading solutions that can cope with the unpredictability of the edge systems. Four different approaches are compared, analyzing their performance via an empirical approach. The insights gathered from data allow the identification of the most promising solution to address the aforementioned challenge.

This work investigates the effectiveness of two training systems based on consumer hardware technologies, a first one using computer-Based Learning (CBL) and the other exploiting Virtual Reality (VR). A user study was executed in order to compare the two training and analyze the most suitable approach for the learning of preparatory material in the context of an industrial assembly and maintenance (IMA) procedure. The results highlighted that, although trainees using VR experienced higher levels of cognitive processing and attention, the knowledge gain of CBL was comparable to that of VR for the preliminary phase training. Nonetheless, VR was still able to provide better learning gains in terms of procedural skills compared to CBL.

The paper addresses the problem of optimal control design in presence of singular solutions for single input dynamics. The dynamical extension for systems obtained adding an integrator on the input is addressed and analyzed. The possibility of computing the optimal control for dynamically extended systems from the solution of the initial ones is investigated, as well as the inverse procedure. These relationships are well evidenced for the singular solutions, showing the possibility of simplifying the optimal control computation. An example is introduced to better highlight the presented results.

Robotics and haptic systems have allowed new and diverse applications in the field of medicine, such as assisted surgery and teleoperation which have increasingly stringent requirements for accuracy, convergence, and low computational consumption. In this paper an adaptive PID control law (Proportional Integral Derivative controller, PID), of indirect architecture is presented for movement paths in a haptic system of open chain, where the identification of the plant is through a quaternionic wavelet neural network (Quaternion Wavelet Neural Network, QWNN) for tune the PID values, this allows the optimal movement into the regions of the workspace.

In this work, we present the modeling of the dynamics of a robot manipulator using the Newton-Euler algorithm in the conformal algebra framework. The modeling of the dynamics of robot manipulators is currently done using the Euler-Lagrange formulation which is a batch type of computation. In contrast, in this paper, we propose a recursive algorithm for the modeling of the dynamics of robot manipulators using the Newton-Euler algorithm in the conformal geometric algebra framework.
The technology of reconfigurable optical networks (RONs) is growing to be a promising solution to effectively cater to the rapidly increasing traffic generated by the digital society. Optical technology emerges as a v...

Deep image inpainting is a computer vision task that uses Deep Neural Networks to generate plausible content to complete an image, for example for the restoration of a damaged image or the removal of unwanted elements captured in the picture. This paper uses deep image inpainting to restore endoscopic images that are affected by various types of artifacts. To this end, we developed a transfer learning-based procedure that uses the CSA inpainting model, which was originally proposed for unrelated tasks including the restoration of images from the Paris StreetView Dataset. The proposed system is trained and validated on the EndoCV2020 dataset, consisting of images from real endoscopies, highlighting how deep image inpainting may be a promising technology for frame restoration during medical procedures.

In recent years, stock price forecasting has become a challenging task commonly used to evaluate the performance of various machine learning solutions. This work explores a Federated Learning (FL) framework within a competitive collaboration scenario with the aim of training a centralised model advised by non-recoverable decentralised strategies so that no exchange of private data is required. The proposed Vertically-Advised Federated Learning (VAFL) framework combines elements from both horizontal and vertical FL, as each client trains two independent models. Furthermore, a novel forecasting architecture, based on a stochastic variant of an Attention-based Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) network, is proposed and validated on a simulated scenario based on real data from the stock market.

Vehicle Make and Model Recognition (VMMR) is a pivotal task in various domains including surveillance, traffic management, and the automotive industry. Despite significant progress in deep learning approaches, existing VMMR systems still struggle to attain robust accuracy, particularly across diverse environments and viewing angles. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on the fusion of two feature maps extracted from DenseNet201 and ResNet50V2 baseline models, respectively. Additionally, we employ a modified Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) to enhance the resilience and precision of VMMR systems. By incorporating attention mechanisms in the feature extraction process, our modified CBAM model effectively captures both spatial and channel-wise dependencies, facilitating more potent discriminative feature representations. We assess our proposed approach through extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets namely Stanford Cars and CompCarsSV. Achieved accuracies are 93.51% and 99.03%, on Stanford Cars and CompCarsSV, respectively that are better than past methods. The code of our proposed model can be found at: https://***/JUVCSE/featurefusion.
