The design of a continuous learning controller for quadrotors often entails some specific implementations that require significant system knowledge and are prone to experience catastrophic forgetting. To address these challenges, a deterministic approach is trained using a quadrotor on a relatively small amount of automatically generated data. The Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (TD3) algorithm is utilized to develop the policy for learning the maneuvers of a quadrotor and controlling it alongside the low-level controller. The algorithm outlined demonstrates proficiency in handling large state spaces and actions that are continuous. It integrates clipped double Q-learning, target policy smoothing, and delayed policy updates, all of which contribute to its effectiveness in training. The proposed control technique’s efficacy is evaluated through numerical simulations conducted on a quadrotor in both standard and windy conditions. The results identified that learning with TD3 reduced the overestimation bias, improved the convergence accuracy, and achieved efficient maneuver with less tracking error by using the dense reward structure.

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM) has broad applications such as driverless cars and indoor service robots. The SLAM techniques usually assume that environments are static, and it is difficult to obtain good accuracy in highly dynamic scenes. In this paper, we adopt the semantic segmentation method to filter out dynamic points according to prior knowledge. To avoid tracking failure due to insufficient feature points, epipolar geometry is used to retain potential dynamic points as much as possible. The proposed method is implemented based on the classical SLAM framework ORBSLAM2 and carried out experiments on the TUM RGBD datasets. Compared with ORBSLAM2, the localization accuracy of this algorithm is improved by 95% in highly dynamic environments.

Hands are paramount for dexterous interactions that humans exhibit in daily life. Understanding the intricacies of human hand-object interactions is therefore necessary. Unfortunately, the limitations of state-of-the-art technologies make capturing the full hand-object complexity unfeasible, giving rise to the need for new technological means to achieve this aim. In this work, we propose an end-to-end framework in which individualized hand models are derived and used to capture quantitative personalized hand-object interaction information, precisely, hand shape, kinematics, and contact surfaces. The results of this study serve as a proof of concept that such a framework can significantly deepen personalized hand-object interaction analyses, providing, in perspective, insights for medical diagnoses and rehabilitation, among *** relevance— Our work showcases the need to incorporate bespoke human hand models in individualized hand function assessment technologies, as hand-object interaction information is subject-dependent.

In the fields of robotic perception and computer vision, achieving accurate semantic segmentation of low-light or nighttime scenes is challenging. This is primarily due to the limited visibility of objects and the reduced texture and color contrasts among them. To address the issue of limited visibility, we propose a hierarchical gated convolution unit, which simultaneously expands the receptive field and restores edge texture. To address the issue of reduced texture among objects, we propose a dual closed-loop bipartite matching algorithm to establish a total loss function consisting of the unsupervised illumination enhancement loss and supervised intersection-over-union loss, thus enabling the joint minimization of both losses via the Hungarian algorithm. We thus achieve end-to-end training for a semantic segmentation network especially suitable for handling low-light scenes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed network surpasses existing methods on the Cityscapes dataset and notably outperforms state-of-the-art methods on both Dark Zurich and Nighttime Driving datasets.

Extended state observer (ESO) has been used to estimate the unknown nonlinear function of the system using input and output data. Recently, a new observer, the compensation function observer (CFO), has a significant improvement over ESO in estimating accuracy. This paper refers to the theory of CFO of fully using the available information and the innovation of the new definition of disturbance, designs a new observer, and verifies the availability of the new observer on the depth control simulation of the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The simulation results demonstrate that the new observer is capable of estimating the unknown nonlinear function more quickly and accurately.
