This paper presents an approach for making a dataset using a 3D CAD model for deep learning based underwater object detection and pose estimation. We also introduce a simple pose estimation network for underwater objects. In the experiment, we show that object detection and pose estimation networks trained via our synthetic dataset present a preliminary potential for deep learning based approaches in underwater. Lastly, we show that our synthetic image dataset provides meaningful performance for deep learning models in underwater environments.

We present a method to manipulate virtual objects which are constrained complexly and reconfigurable as if they would exist in a real world by using multiple hands simultaneously. A complexly constrained, and reconfigurable object, such as a Rubik's cube, is hard to describe its physical motion constraints, mainly because they are determined by the grasping situation and dynamically changeable. Rather than describing the physical motion constraints in a general form, we more focus on the multiple hand interaction of a complex object. A complex object is divided into multiple subparts which are grasped by each hand, and the constraints between the subparts are optimized for inducing natural and continuous movement. For this, we propose a dynamically adjustable data structure for representing object parts grasped by multiple hands, and an optimization-based pose estimation of the constrained subparts along with their grasped hands. The experiments show that human subjects can manipulate a complexly constrained object such as a Rubik's cube without any difficulty as if it exists in the real-world.

This paper reports the design, construction, and control of a mobile robot that can be transformed from the four-wheel mobile robot into two-wheel self-balancing robot and vice versa. The hardware of the robot utilizes the mechanism of the three-link manipulator. This robot is composed of three components;the body part, the middle link, and the top part. The system architecture comprises a pair of DC motor controllers to move the wheel, two servo motors to move the middle link and the top part, and an Arduino microcontroller board, etc. When the robot is transformed to the two-wheel self-balancing robot, the COM (Center of Mass) equation, and the IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) sensor are employed for attitude determination. The method of the control is based on a proportional-integral-differential (PID) control. The results show the possibility of performing both functions of the four-wheel mobile robot and two-wheel self-balancing robot.

Online sequential extreme learning machine (OS-ELM) is an online learning algorithm training single-hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs), which can learn data one-by-one or chunk-by-chunk with fixed or varying data size. Due to its characteristics of online sequential learning, OS-ELM is popularly used to solve time-series prediction problem, such as stock forecast, weather forecast, passenger count forecast, etc. OS-ELM, however, has two fatal drawbacks: Its input weights cannot be adjusted and it cannot be applied to learn recurrent neural network (RNN). Therefore we propose a modified version of OS-ELM, called online recurrent extreme learning machine (OR-ELM), which is able to adjust input weights and can be applied to learn RNN, by applying ELM-auto-encoder and a normalization method called layer normalization (LN). Proposed method is used to solve a time-series prediction problem on New-York City passenger count dataset, and the results show that R-ELM outperforms OS-ELM and other online-sequential learning algorithms such as hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) and online long short-term memory (online LSTM).

Generally, underwater hull inspection have been conducted by human divers. It is an extremely dangerous task, and hence, can be a potential application for unmanned underwater vehicles. The operational safety and performance of in-water inspection can be significantly improved by introducing unmanned vehicle systems. This study addresses the development of an hover-capable autonomous underwater vehicle system and its operational algorithms for automated visual ship hull inspection with no (or minimum) human intervention. The feasibility and practical performance of the developed system and algorithms are demonstrated by conducting field experiments with a full-scale ship in a real sea environment.

This paper proposes a method of reconstructing a scalar field by adaptively choosing sampling locations and using the measurements obtained from those locations to reconstruct an estimate of the underlying field using Gaussian process regression. Spreading sampling points evenly over the field may not always be effective if the field is not uniformly distributed and the maximum number of measurements is limited. Taking more measurements in regions of large changes in the field than in regions of small changes can give a better estimate than spreading the same number of measurements evenly over the space. The proposed algorithm was tested on a synthetic scalar field and compared to two popular methods of determining sensor placement based on entropy and mutual information from information theory.
