Current fully-supervised facial landmark detection methods have progressed rapidly and achieved remarkable performance. However, they still suffer when coping with faces under large poses and heavy occlusions for inaccurate facial shape constraints and insufficient labeled training samples. In this paper, we propose a semi-supervised framework, i.e., a Self-Calibrated Pose Attention Network (SCPAN) to achieve more robust and precise facial landmark detection in challenging scenarios. To be specific, a Boundary-Aware Landmark Intensity (BALI) field is proposed to model more effective facial shape constraints by fusing boundary and landmark intensity field information. Moreover, a Self-Calibrated Pose Attention (SCPA) model is designed to provide a self-learned objective function that enforces intermediate supervision without label information by introducing a self-calibrated mechanism and a pose attention mask. We show that by integrating the BALI fields and SCPA model into a novel self-calibrated pose attention network, more facial prior knowledge can be learned and the detection accuracy and robustness of our method for faces with large poses and heavy occlusions have been improved. The experimental results obtained for challenging benchmark datasets demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods in the literature. Copyright © 2021, The Authors.

It is always a challenging task for radiologists to detect Cerebral Aneurysms (CA). Unenhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) has become a popular screening tool because of its non-invasiveness, lack of contrast, and ionizing radiation. Because of its screening role, MRA requires a high recognition rate. This paper presents Machine Learning (ML) methods for detecting CA in MRA data. MRA scans of normal and aneurysms are collected and evaluated. This research study is divided into two sections: segmentation and classification. First, K-Means Clustering (KMC) is used for aneurysm segmentation from MR images. Second, image classification is done. For that, the appropriate features are retrieved using feature extraction and selection. Then Gray Level Run Length Matrix (GLRLM) is used for feature extraction and the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for feature selection. The GLRLM and GA features are provided independently to the ML models for training and testing. The ML models used in the research work are Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Modified Fuzzy C-Means (MFCM). The metrics are employed to evaluate the GLRM and GA features with ANN and MFCM. The combination of GA features with ANN produces the best results when compared to other combinations. The GA with ANN obtains an outstanding 98.33% accuracy, 100% specificity and precision, 96.67% sensitivity, and 98.31% F1 score.

This paper proposes a novel constructive barrier feedback for reactive collision avoidance between two agents. It incorporates this feature in a formation tracking control strategy for a group of 2nd-order dynamic robots defined in three-dimensional space. Using only relative measurements between neighboring agents, we propose an elegant decentralized controller as the sum of a nominal tracking controller and the constructive barrier feedback for leader-follower formations under a directed single-spanning tree graph topology. The key ingredient is the use of divergent flow as a dissipative term, which slows down the relative velocity in the direction of the neighboring robots without compromising the nominal controller's performance. Compared to traditional barrier function-based optimization controllers, the proposed constructive barrier feedback avoids feasibility issues and results in more computationally efficient control algorithms with systematic equilibrium analysis. Simulations are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method. © 2023, CC BY-NC-ND.

Vertical federated learning trains models from feature-partitioned datasets across multiple clients, who collaborate without sharing their local data. Standard approaches assume that all feature partitions are available during both training and inference. Yet, in practice, this assumption rarely holds, as for many samples only a subset of the clients observe their partition. However, not utilizing incomplete samples during training harms generalization, and not supporting them during inference limits the utility of the model. Moreover, if any client leaves the federation after training, its partition becomes unavailable, rendering the learned model unusable. Missing feature blocks are therefore a key challenge limiting the applicability of vertical federated learning in real-world scenarios. To address this, we propose LASER-VFL, a vertical federated learning method for efficient training and inference of split neural network-based models that is capable of handling arbitrary sets of partitions. Our approach is simple yet effective, relying on the strategic sharing of model parameters and on task-sampling to train a family of predictors. We show that LASER-VFL achieves a O(1/√T) convergence rate for nonconvex objectives in general, O(1/T) for sufficiently large batch sizes, and linear convergence under the Polyak-Lojasiewicz inequality. Numerical experiments show improved performance of LASER-VFL over the baselines. Remarkably, this is the case even in the absence of missing features. For example, for CIFAR-100, we see an improvement in accuracy of 21.4% when each of four feature blocks is observed with a probability of 0.5 and of 12.2% when all features are observed. © 2024, CC BY.

A key step in the development of lightweight, high performance robotic systems is the modeling and selection of permanent magnet brushless direct current (BLDC) electric motors. Typical modeling analyses are completed a priori, and provide insight for properly sizing a motor for an application, specifying the required operating voltage and current, as well as assessing the thermal response and other design attributes e.g. transmission ratio). However, to perform these modeling analyses, proper information about the motor’s characteristics are needed, which are often obtained from manufacturer datasheets. Through our own experience and communications with manufacturers, we have noticed a lack of clarity and standardization in modeling BLDC motors, compounded by vague or inconsistent terminology used in motor datasheets. The purpose of this tutorial is to concisely describe the governing equations for BLDC motor analyses used in the design process, as well as highlight potential errors that can arise from incorrect usage. We present a power-invariant conversion from phase and line-to-line reference frames to a familiar q-axis DC motor representation, which provides a "brushed" analogue of a three phase BLDC motor that is convenient for analysis and design. We highlight potential errors including incorrect calculations of winding resistive heat loss, improper estimation of motor torque via the motor’s torque constant, and incorrect estimation of the required bus voltage or resulting angular velocity limitations. A unified and condensed set of governing equations is available for designers in Appendix A. The intent of this work is to provide a consolidated mathematical foundation for modeling BLDC motors that addresses existing confusion and fosters high performance designs of future robotic systems. © 2023, CC BY-NC-ND.

Recent efforts in mission planning for underwater vehicles have utilised predictive models to aid in navigation, optimal path planning and drive opportunistic sampling. Although these models provide information at a unprecedented resolutions and have proven to increase accuracy and effectiveness in multiple campaigns, most are deterministic in nature. Thus, predictions cannot be incorporated into probabilistic planning frameworks, nor do they provide any metric on the variance or confidence of the output variables. In this paper, we provide an initial investigation into determining the confidence of ocean model predictions based on the results of multiple field deployments of two autonomous underwater vehicles. For multiple missions of two autonomous gliders conducted over a two-month period in 2011, we compare actual vehicle executions to simulations of the same missions through the Regional Ocean Modeling System in an ocean region off the coast of southern California. This comparison provides a qualitative analysis of the current velocity predictions for areas within the selected deployment region. Ultimately, we present a spatial heat-map of the correlation between the ocean model predictions and the actual mission executions. Knowing where the model provides unreliable predictions can be incorporated into planners to increase the utility and application of the deterministic estimations.

Body weight support (BWS) is a fundamental technique in rehabilitation. Along with the dramatic progressing of rehabilitation science and engineering, BWS is quickly evolving with new initiatives and has attracted deep research effort in recent years. We have built up a novel gravity offloading system, in which the patient is allowed to move freely in the three-dimensional Cartesian space and receives support against gravity. Thus, the patients, especially for those that suffer from neurological injury such as stroke or spinal cord injury, can focus their residual motor control capabilities on essential therapeutic trainings of balance and gait. The realtime force control performance is critical for the BWS unit to provide suitable support and avoid disturbance. In this work, we have re-designed our BWS unit with a series elastic actuation structure to improve the human-robot interaction performance. Further, the 2 degrees of freedom (2-DOF) control approach was taken for accurate and robust BWS force control. Both simulation and experimental results have validated the efficacy of the BWS design and real-time control methods. Copyright © 2018, The Authors. All rights reserved.

In this paper we describe a parameterized family of first-order distributed optimization algorithms that enable a network of agents to collaboratively calculate a decision variable that minimizes the sum of cost functions at each agent. These algorithms are self-healing in that their correctness is guaranteed even if they are initialized randomly, agents drop in or out of the network, local cost functions change, or communication packets are dropped. Our algorithms are the first single-Laplacian methods to exhibit all of these characteristics. We achieve self-healing by sacrificing internal stability, a fundamental trade-off for single-Laplacian methods. Copyright © 2021, The Authors. All rights reserved.
