Underwater supporting robots serving as a relay of energy supplements and communication for other underwater equipment are promising for ocean exploration, development, and protection. This paper proposes a novel autonomous docking system centered on a designed supporting robotic fish named ‘CourierFish’. Specifically, CourierFish is capable of docking with a surface dock station for supplying itself and docking with a seafloor platform for supporting equipment in the platform. A visual navigation scheme integrating LED and ArUco markers is presented for accurate localization. The control approach for docking motion is also illustrated. Simulations and aquatic experiments are performed to verify the feasibility of the proposed docking system. The obtained results lay a solid foundation for the construction of various underwater equipment and robot networks.

As exploiting unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) as mobile elements is a new research trend recently, approximation algorithms to solve path planning problems for UAVs are promising approaches. This paper present a solution for the problem of minimum mission time to cover a set of target points in the surveillance area with multiple UAVs. In this methodology, we propose an improved ant colony optimization (ACO) combining ACO with greedy strategy. The main purpose is to find the optimal number of UAVs and to plan the paths of the minimum mission time. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and the superiority of the proposed algorithm.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) images are easily disturbed by noise, which causes a lot of difficulties for target recognition. To improve the target recognition performance in GPR images, a novel recognition method based on time-frequency texture features and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. The proposed method first extracts texture features from the gray co-occurrence matrix of S transform time-frequency images for the A-scan data, then establishes the SVM model and realizes the target recognition. The proposed method is assessed using synthetic GPR images and compared with other two time-frequency analysis methods, combined with SVM. The expermental results show that the proposed method can achieve higher recognition accuracies than the other two methods in heavily noisy environment.

In view of the difficulty and low accuracy of small object detection for remote sensing images, this paper proposes a small object detection algorithm based on contextual information fusion to solve the problem of real-time detection accuracy of small object. In this paper, we use bottom-up VGG16 network to realize multi-scale feature extraction to deal with the problem of insufficient image feature extraction. To direct at the problem that the feature information of each feature layer is single, the shallow feature layer and the deep feature layer are fused through the feature fusion module, which achieves the purpose that some feature layers have more abundant fusion features in the structure level. Aiming at the problem that the detection objects in remote sensing images are mainly small and medium-sized objects, this paper proposes to use the multivariate information of four different scale feature layers for classification prediction and regression prediction, so as to reduce the complexity of network model. The experimental results show that the proposed small object detection algorithm based on the fusion of four scale deep and shallow contextual information can obtain good accuracy and real-time performance on the NWPU VHR-10 dataset, improve the detection accuracy on the basis of ensuring the real-time detection, and perform well in the small object detection task of remote sensing images.

The high-quality datasets and generalized network model combined with robust evaluation strategies serve as a significant benchmark for developing new policies for industrial bin-picking. In this paper, we propose the concept of region-aware grasping, a sim2real cutting-edge system to generate and evaluate 6D poses for robots to pick up novel workpieces from stacked environments. It consists of Region-Aware-Dataset, a large-scale synthetic point cloud grasp dataset; and Semantic-Graspnet, a 6D-wise affordance policy that predicts full 6D grasp pose for stacked workpieces. The introduced Semantic-Graspnet transforms the 6D pose prediction problem into semantic categorization via point cloud encoding and decoding. Meanwhile, we propose a robust evaluation strategy based on pose evaluation and mechanical grasping evaluation, which enhances the robot’s grasping success rate and sorting efficiency. In real industrial tasks, the robot achieves a grasp completion rate of 91.3% in cluttered scenes and 89.2% in densely stacked scenes, demonstrating state-of-the-art results in robotic picking-and-placing applications. Note to Practitioners—This work is inspired by the robotic universal AI technique, which holds an indispensable position in industrial as bin-picking tasks. Leveraging this technology, the robot can proficiently perform picking-and-placing for diverse workpieces. The prior robot grasping policies primarily centered on maximizing the optimization of grasp detection to ensure successful grasping. Nevertheless, limitations still exist regarding efficient datasets, generalized network models, and robust evaluation strategies. Therefore, in order to effectively curtail the development cycle of robot picking-and-placing applications, this paper puts forward a novel region-aware grasping policy for stacked workpieces. We have investigated an autonomous grasp label annotation method and constructed a large-scale synthetic point cloud grasp dataset. Subsequently, a seman

To deal with noise interference in frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar vital signs and the interference of breathing harmonics on the heartbeat signal, a vital signs detection method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and wavelet transform is proposed. First, VMD is applied to decompose the vital signs into a series of intrinsic mode function (IMF) components. Then, the IMF components with spectral peaks in the frequency range of breathing and heartbeat are selected to reconstruct the breathing and heartbeat signals respectively. Finally, the wavelet transform threshold method is used to remove the noise in the breathing and heartbeat signals. The experimental results show the proposed method can overcome the influence of breathing harmonics, accurately extract the breathing and heartbeat signals, and effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio and detection accuracy of heart rate.

The global coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has brought great challenges to the power systems due to its limitations on social, economic and productive activities. This paper proposes a short-term load forecasting method during COVID-19 pandemic based on copula theory and eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost). In this method, the coupling relationship among the cross-domain meteorological, public health, and mobility time-series data are fully analyzed based on copula theory, which is used for the short-term power load forecasting based on multi-factor fusion XGBoost algorithm. The proposed method has been fully evaluated and benchmarked on available cross-domain open-access United States data to demonstrate its effectiveness and superiority on short-term load forecasting of COVID-19.

Low-grade gliomas (LGG) is the most common primary intracranial tumor, with high incidence rate, high recurrence rate, high mortality rate and low cure rate. Therefore, it is necessary to predict the survival of LGG patients in diagnosis. Considering the complementarity of information, the new proposed algorithm in this study is designed to integrate Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) data and gene expression data using deep learning method to predict the Disease Specific Survival (DSS) of LGG patients. Firstly, MRI data of 44 patients is screened from TCIA database, and then the corresponding gene expression data of 44 patients is searched from TCGA database. Then, 724 image feature data extracted from MRI data are filtered and extracted by deep learning method, and DSS tags are used to train the model; deep learning method is used to extract 20530 features of gene expression data, and DSS tags are also used for training. As a contrast, the deep learning method is used to integrate the two features to train the model. Experiments are evaluated on MRI data, gene expression data and the integration data of MRI and gene expression data, respectively. The results show that by using the integration of MRI data and gene expression data performs better than using single data in terms of the time-dependent receiver operating characteristic(ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC) of the ROC curve criteria.
