This paper investigates how to extract objects-of-interest without relying on handcraft features and sliding windows approaches, that aims to jointly solve two sub-tasks: (i) rapidly localizing salient objects from images, and (ii) accurately segmenting the objects based on the localizations. We present a general joint task learning framework, in which each task (either object localization or object segmentation) is tackled via a multi-layer convolutional neural network, and the two networks work collaboratively to boost performance. In particular, we propose to incorporate latent variables bridging the two networks in a joint optimization manner. The first network directly predicts the positions and scales of salient objects from raw images, and the latent variables adjust the object localizations to feed the second network that produces pixelwise object masks. An EM-type method is presented for the optimization, iterating with two steps: (i) by using the two networks, it estimates the latent variables by employing an MCMC-based sampling method; (ii) it optimizes the parameters of the two networks unitedly via back propagation, with the fixed latent variables. Extensive experiments suggest that our framework significantly outperforms other state-of-the-art approaches in both accuracy and efficiency (e.g. 1000 times faster than competing approaches).

In this paper, we describe the results of an interview study conducted across several European countries on teachers' views on the use of empathic robotic tutors in the classroom. The main goals of the study were to elicit teachers' thoughts on the integration of the robotic tutors in the daily school practice, understanding the main roles that these robots could play and gather teachers' main concerns about this type of technology. Teachers' concerns were much related to the fairness of access to the technology, robustness of the robot in students' hands and disruption of other classroom activities. They saw a role for the tutor in acting as an engaging tool for all, preferably in groups, and gathering information about students' learning progress without taking over the teachers' responsibility for the actual assessment. The implications of these results are discussed in relation to teacher acceptance of ubiquitous technologies in general and robots in particular.

A key component of robotic path planning for monitoring dynamic events is reliable navigation to the right place at the right time. For persistent monitoring applications (e.g., over months), marine robots are beginning to make use of the environment for propulsion, instead of depending on traditional motors and propellers. These vehicles are able to realize dramatically higher endurance by exploiting wave and wind energy, however the path planning problem becomes difficult as the vehicle speed is no longer directly controllable. In this paper, we examine Gaussian process models to predict the speed of the Wave Glider autonomous surface vehicle from observable environmental parameters. Using training data from an on-board sensor, and wave parameter forecasts from the WAVEWATCH III model, our probabilistic regression models create an effective method for predicting Wave Glider speed for use in a variety of path planning applications.

In this paper, we consider the unknown non-affine nonlinear systems with the input deadzone and external disturbance. To solve the deadzone effects, a Radial Basis Function Neural Network (RBFNN) is introduced to approximate the deadzone effects and improve the robustness of the system. Moreover, we estimate the disturbance in another RBFNN. Based on the Lyapunov stability analysis and the support of high-gain observer, the adaptive neural network control is developed via both full-state feedback and output feedback. Simulation studies are proposed to illustrate the control performance. The semiglobally uniform boundedness is guaranteed in the closed-loop systems under the proposed control.
