This paper investigates the scheduling problem of a fleet of electric vehicles, providing mobility as a service to a set of time-specified customers, where the operator needs to solve the routing and charging problem jointly for each EV. Hereby we consider incentive-aware customers and propose that the operator offers monetary incentives to customers in exchange for time flexibility. In this way, the fleet operator can achieve a routing and charging schedule with lower costs, whilst the customers receive monetary compensation for their flexibility. Specifically, we first propose a bi-level optimization model whereby the fleet operator optimizes the routing and charging schedule accounting for the spatio-temporal varying charging price, jointly with a monetary incentive to reimburse the delivery time flexibility experienced by the customers. Concurrently the customers choose their own time flexibility by minimizing their own cost. Second, we cope with the computational burden coming from this nonlinear bi-level optimization model with an accurate reformulation approach consisting of the KKT optimality conditions, a Big-M-based linearization method, and the zero duality gap of convex optimization problems. This way, we convert the proposed problem into a single-level optimization problem, which can be solved by a strengthened generalized Benders decomposition method holding a faster convergence rate than the generalized Benders decomposition method. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed mathematical model, we carry out numerous simulation experiments by using the VRP-REP data of Belgium. The numerical results showcase that the proposed mathematical model can reduce the delivery fees for the customers together with the cost of operation incurred by the fleet operator. © 2022, The Authors.

State estimation is an essential part of autonomous systems. Integrating the Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technique has been shown to correct the long-term estimation drift and bypass the complexity of loop closure detection. However, few works on robotics treat UWB as a stand-alone state estimation solution. The primary purpose of this work is to investigate planar pose estimation using only UWB range measurements. We prove the excellent property of a two-step scheme, which says we can refine a consistent estimator to be asymptotically efficient by one step of Gauss-Newton iteration. Grounded on this result, we design the GN-ULS estimator, which reduces the computation time significantly compared to previous methods and presents the possibility of using only UWB for real-time state estimation.

"MUCOR" is a robotic interface made up of three small-sized, table-top robots that go through Linkedin profiles of job applicants and discuss the applicants’ information. Robots categorize applicants into ordered levels based on their competencies mentioned. Robots built following minimalist design concepts consist of a cylindrical head and a body that occupy less space. A score is calculated for each candidate and categorized into levels by a model built including Agglomerative Clustering and Gaussian Mixture Model. The model itself identifies the number of levels into which the applicants can be categorized, through the iterations. MUCOR is built for job recruiters who spend more time to find background information about applicants prior to an interview. Conversation among robots and the user creates a Passive Social Interface in which the user does not involve in the conversation, but gain knowledge by listening. The recruiter only has to input the LinkedIn IDs into a mobile application and listen to the conversation among robots. MUCOR was experimented with professional recruiters and their feedback highlighted that the synchronization of speech with the robot’s body movements has a fair impact on the user experience about the robot behavior. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Most of the undergraduates couldn’t figure out a proper direction for their future careers since advising depends on the person and students show aversion in revealing their information to other humans. This research focused on creating a social robotic platform to interact with undergraduates in the field of computer science to realize possible career paths, as recent researches show social companion robots tend to form a stronger bond, which helps the addressee to share their information easily. The robot was created as a tabletop robot employing minimalistic design with a friendly view attached with speech synthesis for communicating purposes. Data was collected from 202 persons, who followed a degree in computer science. Data contains their experience, qualifications, and skills. Thereafter an artificial neural network was created using supervised learning to predict the career path with 95% performance accuracy. The experiment was performed by engaging 15 students from the final year who are a doing degree in computer science and they were asked to provide feedback on the interactions with the robot. The gathered responses highlighted robot animacy, interaction, technology and usefulness. Therefore, from the results it can be concluded that a majority of the students accepted the robot, interacted without hesitation and had friendly conversations with the robot where they valued the generated output from the robot. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Humans perceive objects and environments actively and dynamically using tactile sensing facilitated by the skin. However, due to the gap in sensing capabilities between electronic skin and human skin, it remains a challenge for robots to achieve intricate tactile perception. For example, the task of liquid properties estimation within containers, demands sensing and comprehension of complex dynamic tactile signals during contact. This paper introduces a novel tactile fingertip inspired by human skin enabling both static tactile sensing facilitated by a layer of porous piezoresistive elastomer and dynamic tactile sensing enabled by condenser microphones. A data-driven methodology is employed to analyze liquids through multimodal signals devoid of physical modelling. The proposed robotic system engages in shaking various bottles filled with different volumes of water, allowing the tactile fingertip to detect changes in grasping force caused by shaking and small vibrations caused by the collision of the container with liquid. Five machine learning models trained on these tactile signals are analyzed and compared. Experimental results demonstrate the proficiency of the tactile system in distinguishing liquid fill percentages across bottles of different shapes and capacities with a remarkable accuracy of $\mathbf{9 8 \%}$. This paper holds promise for advancing the embodied intelligence of robots, enhancing their ability to perceive mixed tactile signals dynamically, thereby facilitating tasks such as liquid estimation and other intricate tactile operations in environments like kitchens and hospitals.

The benefits of energy efficiency are recognized in multiple socio-economic spheres. Still, the quantitative impact on macroeconomic performance is not fully understood, as modelling tools are not thermodynamically consistent – failing to explicitly include the useful stage of energy flows, and/or thermodynamic efficiencies in primary-final-useful energy transformations. Misspecification in the link between energy use and the economy underplays the role of energy use and efficiency in economic *** this work we develop and implement the MAcroeconometric Resource COnsumption model for Portugal (MARCO-PT), 1960-2014. Based on the post-Keynesian framework developed for the United Kingdom (MARCO-UK), our model explicitly includes thermodynamic energy efficiency, extending the analysis to the useful stage of energy flows. The model’s stochastic equations are econometrically estimated. The historical influence from key variables – namely thermodynamic energy efficiency – on economic output is assessed through counterfactual simulations and computation of year-by-year output *** MARCO-PT model adequately describes the historical behavior of endogenous variables. Although its influence has decreased over time, thermodynamic efficiency has consistently been the major contributor to economic growth in 1960-2014, with an average output elasticity of 0.46. Total useful exergy is also a major contributing factor, with an average output elasticity of 0.29. Both have a higher influence than capital, labor, or other energy variables (final energy, prices). An adequate integration of thermodynamic efficiency is thus crucial for macroeconomic models. © 2024, The Authors. All rights reserved.

CPnP: Consistent Pose Estimator for Perspective-n-Point Problem with Bias Elimination

arXiv

arXiv 2022年

作者： Zeng, Guangyang Chen, Shiyu Mu, Biqiang Shi, Guodong Wu, Junfeng School of Data Science Chinese University of Ho ng Kong Shenzhen Shenzhen China Key Laboratory of Systems and Control Institute of Systems Science Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing China Australian Center for Field Robotics School of Aerospace Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering The University of Sydney NSW2008 Australia

The Perspective-n-Point (PnP) problem has been widely studied in both computer vision and photogrammetry societies. With the development of feature extraction techniques, a large number of feature points might be available in a single shot. It is promising to devise a consistent estimator, i.e., the estimate can converge to the true camera pose as the number of points increases. To this end, we propose a consistent PnP solver, named CPnP, with bias elimination. Specifically, linear equations are constructed from the original projection model via measurement model modification and variable elimination, based on which a closed-form least-squares solution is obtained. We then analyze and subtract the asymptotic bias of this solution, resulting in a consistent estimate. Additionally, Gauss-Newton (GN) iterations are executed to refine the consistent solution. Our proposed estimator is efficient in terms of computations—it has O(n) computational complexity. Experimental tests on both synthetic data and real images show that our proposed estimator is superior to some well-known ones for images with dense visual features, in terms of estimation precision and computing time.

Fixed-time Adaptive Neural Control for Physical Human-Robot Collaboration with Time-Varying Workspace Constraints

arXiv 2023年

Physical human-robot collaboration (pHRC) requires both compliance and safety guarantees since robots coordinate with human actions in a shared workspace. This paper presents a novel fixed-time adaptive neural control methodology for handling time-varying workspace constraints that occur in physical human-robot collaboration while also guaranteeing compliance during intended force interactions. The proposed methodology combines the benefits of compliance control, time-varying integral barrier Lyapunov function (TVIBLF) and fixed-time techniques, which not only achieve compliance during physical contact with human operators but also guarantee time-varying workspace constraints and fast tracking error convergence without any restriction on the initial conditions. Furthermore, a neural adaptive control law is designed to compensate for the unknown dynamics and disturbances of the robot manipulator such that the proposed control framework is overall fixed-time converged and capable of online learning without any prior knowledge of robot dynamics and disturbances. The proposed approach is finally validated on a simulated two-link robot manipulator. Simulation results show that the proposed controller is superior in the sense of both tracking error and convergence time compared with the existing barrier Lyapunov functions based controllers, while simultaneously guaranteeing compliance and safety.
