Humans have needs motivating their behavior according to intensity and context. However, we also create preferences associated with each action’s perceived pleasure, which is susceptible to changes over time. This makes decision-making more complex, requiring learning to balance needs and preferences according to the context. To understand how this process works and enable the development of robots with a motivational-based learning model, we computationally model a motivation theory proposed by Hull. In this model, the agent (an abstraction of a mobile robot) is motivated to keep itself in a state of homeostasis. We added hedonic dimensions to see how preferences affect decision-making, and we employed reinforcement learning to train our motivated-based agents. We run three agents with energy decay rates representing different metabolisms in two different environments to see the impact on their strategy, movement, and behavior. The results show that the agent learned better strategies in the environment that enables choices more adequate according to its metabolism. The use of pleasure in the motivational mechanism significantly impacted behavior learning, mainly for slow metabolism agents. When survival is at risk, the agent ignores pleasure and equilibrium, hinting at how to behave in harsh scenarios. Copyright © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

The focus of this paper is to address a novel control technique for stability and transparency analysis of bilateral telerobotic systems in the presence of data loss and time delay in the communication channel. Different control strategies have been reported to compensate the effects of time delay in the communication channel;however, most of them result in poor performance under data loss. First, a model for data loss is proposed using a finite series representation of a set of periodic continuous *** improve the performance and data reconstruction, a holder circuits is also introduced. The passivity of the overall system is provided via the wave variable technique based on the proposed model for the data loss. The stability analysis of the system is then derived using the Lyapunov theorem under the time delay and the data loss. Finally, experimental results are given to illustrate the capability of the proposed control technique.

Performing precise, repetitive motions is essential in many robotic and automation systems. Iterative learning control (ILC) allows determining the necessary control command by using a very rough system model to speed up the process. Functional iterative learning control is a novel technique that promises to solve several limitations of classic ILC. It operates by merging the input space into a large functional space, resulting in an over-determined control task in the iteration domain. In this way, it can deal with systems having more outputs than inputs and accelerate the learning process without resorting to model discretizations. However, the framework lacks so far a validation in experiments. This paper aims to provide such experimental validation in the context of robotics. To this end, we designed and built a one-link flexible arm that is actuated by a stepper motor, which makes the development of an accurate model more challenging and the validation closer to the industrial practice. We provide multiple experimental results across several conditions, proving the feasibility of the method in practice.

The paper presents a family of novel light blob shape descriptors for use in selected active safety algorithms used in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). One of the motivations was to obtain a descriptor that would ensure low computational complexity. This makes it easy to implement both in software and hardware. One assumption is that the location of the center of a given light spot is approximately known. The principle of its operation is then to count white pixels in selected directions, starting from this central point. A key issue here is an efficient way of determining indexes of particular pixels belonging to the image patch, as well as the location of points representing places where the white area turns into black. In the case of a hardware implementation, this can be done using a parallel circuit operating in asynchronous mode, without the need for a control clock.

In this paper, we introduce a ROS based framework designed for the planning and control of robotic systems within the context of precision agriculture, with an emphasis on human-in-the-loop capabilities. Utilizing Linear Temporal Logic to articulate complex task specifications, our algorithm creates high-level robotic plans that are not only correct by design but also adaptable in real time by human operators. This dual-focus approach ensures that while humans have the flexibility to modify the high-level plan on-the-fly or even take over low-level control of the robots, the system inherently safeguards against any human actions that could potentially breach the predefined task specifications. We demonstrate our algorithm within the dynamic and challenging environment of a real vineyard, where the collaboration between human workers and robots is critical for tasks such as harvesting and pruning, and show the practical applicability and robustness of our software. This work marks a pioneering application of formal methods to complex, real-world agricultural environments.

Sports performance is often judged based on the results of a series of motions rather than observing and analyzing the detailed sequential motions that lead to the results. Hence, subjective feedback from the coaches is often ineffective in improving player performance. In this work, we custom-built a smart Internet of Things wristband motion sensor to implement data-based sports performance evaluation. A phase-based feature selection method is also proposed to assess the athletes' sequential detailed motion for selected sport activities. To demonstrate the merits of this technology, we quantified the quality of the sequential motions of a specific type of volleyball serve by analyzing 183 samples of motion data obtained from a total of 18 players. The general skill levels (i.e., elite, subelite, and amateur) of the players were identified by machine learning algorithms, with accuracies of up to 95%. Moreover, we adopted biomechanical principles to extract 11 motion-related performance metrics from various phases of the players' serve motion. We identified the distributions of these metrics across different skill levels and found eight key metrics that were highly correlated to the skill level of a players. We suggest that these metric distributions can be used as a reference for providing feedback to the coaches and players, to improve a player's skill in the future. This phased-based analysis method can potentially be applied across many sports to increase the effectiveness of athletes' training. © 2014 IEEE.

Object pose estimation is a core perception task that enables, for example, object manipulation and scene understanding. The widely available, inexpensive and high-resolution RGB sensors and CNNs that allow for fast inference make monocular approaches especially well suited for robotics applications. We observe that previous surveys on establish the state of the art for varying modalities, single- and multi-view settings, and datasets and metrics that consider a multitude of applications. We argue, however, that those works' broad scope hinders the identification of open challenges that are specific to monocular approaches and the derivation of promising future challenges for their application in robotics. By providing a unified view on recent publications from both robotics and computer vision, we find that occlusion handling, pose representations, and formalizing and improving category-level pose estimation are still fundamental challenges that are highly relevant for robotics. Moreover, to further improve robotic performance, large object sets, novel objects, refractive materials, and uncertainty estimates are central, largely unsolved open challenges. In order to address them, ontological reasoning, deformability handling, scene-level reasoning, realistic datasets, and the ecological footprint of algorithms need to be improved. © 2023, CC BY.

iMTSP: Solving Min-Max Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem with Imperative Learning

arXiv 2024年

This paper considers a Min-Max Multiple Traveling Salesman Problem (MTSP), where the goal is to find a set of tours, one for each agent, to collectively visit all the cities while minimizing the length of the longest tour. Though MTSP has been widely studied, obtaining near-optimal solutions for large-scale problems is still challenging due to its NP-hardness. Recent efforts in data-driven methods face challenges of the need for hard-to-obtain supervision and issues with high variance in gradient estimations, leading to slow convergence and highly sub-optimal solutions. We address these issues by reformulating MTSP as a bilevel optimization problem, using the concept of imperative learning (IL). This involves introducing an allocation network that decomposes the MTSP into multiple single-agent traveling salesman problems (TSPs). The longest tour from these TSP solutions is then used to self-supervise the allocation network, resulting in a new self-supervised, bilevel, end-to-end learning framework, which we refer to as imperative MTSP (iMTSP). Additionally, to tackle the high-variance gradient issues during the optimization, we introduce a control variate-based gradient estimation algorithm. Our experiments showed that these innovative designs enable our gradient estimator to converge 20× faster than the advanced reinforcement learning baseline, and find up to 80% shorter tour length compared with Google OR-Tools MTSP solver, especially in large-scale problems (e.g. 1000 cities and 15 agents). © 2024, CC BY.

Temporal information plays a pivotal role in Bird’s-Eye-View (BEV) driving scene understanding, which can alleviate the visual information sparsity. However, the indiscriminate temporal fusion method will cause the barrier of feature redundancy when constructing vectorized High-Definition (HD) maps. In this paper, we revisit the temporal fusion of vectorized HD maps, focusing on temporal instance consistency and temporal map consistency learning. To improve the representation of instances in single-frame maps, we introduce a novel method, DTCLMapper. This approach uses a dual-stream temporal consistency learning module that combines instance embedding with geometry maps. In the instance embedding component, our approach integrates temporal Instance Consistency Learning (ICL), ensuring consistency from vector points and instance features aggregated from points. A vectorized points pre-selection module is employed to enhance the regression efficiency of vector points from each instance. Then aggregated instance features obtained from the vectorized points preselection module are grounded in contrastive learning to realize temporal consistency, where positive and negative samples are selected based on position and semantic information. The geometry mapping component introduces Map Consistency Learning (MCL) designed with self-supervised learning. The MCL enhances the generalization capability of our consistent learning approach by concentrating on the global location and distribution constraints of the instances. Extensive experiments on well-recognized benchmarks indicate that the proposed DTCLMapper achieves state-of-the-art performance in vectorized mapping tasks, reaching 61.9% and 65.1% mAP scores on the nuScenes and Argoverse datasets, respectively.

Robotic competitions stand as platforms to propel the forefront of robotics research while nurturing STEM education, serving as hubs of both applied research and scientific innovation. In Portugal, the Portuguese robotics Open (FNR) is an event with several robotic competitions, including the Robot@Factory 4.0 competition. This competition presents an example of deploying autonomous robots on a factory shop floor. Although the literature has works proposing frameworks for the original version of the Robot@Factory competition, none of them proposes a system framework for the Robot@Factory 4.0 version that presents the hardware, firmware, and software to complete the competition and achieve autonomous navigation. This paper proposes a complete robotic framework for the Robot@Factory 4.0 competition that is modular and open-access, enabling future participants to use and improve it in future editions. This work is the culmination of all the knowledge acquired by winning the 2022 and 2023 editions of the competition.
