International benchmarking competitions have become fundamental for the comparative performance assessment of image analysis methods. However, little attention has been given to investigating what can be learnt from these competitions. Do they really generate scientific progress? What are common and successful participation strategies? What makes a solution superior to a competing method? To address this gap in the literature, we performed a multicenter study with all 80 competitions that were conducted in the scope of IEEE ISBI 2021 and MICCAI 2021. Statistical analyses performed based on comprehensive descriptions of the submitted algorithms linked to their rank as well as the underlying participation strategies revealed common characteristics of winning solutions. These typically include the use of multi-task learning (63%) and/or multi-stage pipelines (61%), and a focus on augmentation (100%), image preprocessing (97%), data curation (79%), and post-processing (66%). The “typical” lead of a winning team is a computer scientist with a doctoral degree, five years of experience in biomedical image analysis, and four years of experience in deep learning. Two core general development strategies stood out for highly-ranked teams: the reflection of the metrics in the method design and the focus on analyzing and handling failure cases. According to the organizers, 43% of the winning algorithms exceeded the state of the art but only 11% completely solved the respective domain problem. The insights of our study could help researchers (1) improve algorithm development strategies when approaching new problems, and (2) focus on open research questions revealed by this work.

This paper proposed an adaptive neural admittance control strategy for collision avoidance in human-robot collaborative tasks. In order to ensure that the robot end-effector can avoid collisions with surroundings, robot should be operated compliantly by human within a constrained task space. An impedance model and a soft saturation function are employed to generate a differentiable reference trajectory. Then, adaptive neural network control with position constraint, based on integral barrier Lyapunov function (IBLF), is designed to achieve precise tracking while guaranteeing constrained satisfaction. Utilizing Lyapunov stability principles, we prove that semi-globally uniformly bounded stability is guaranteed for all states of the closed-loop system. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified on a Baxter robot experimental platform. Collisions with surroundings can be avoided in human-robot collaborative tasks.

The soft exoskeleton is a wearable robot which is functioned to improve the capacity of human walking or loading. The metabolic of human is increase with the additional load, one integrated design method is used to reduce this effect in this paper. Meanwhile, in order to enhance the convenience and decrease the disturbance to wearer, the wireless module is used to replace the signal line. The nonlinear characteristics and uncertainty of flexible material make the control of soft exoskeleton system be a challenge, a switching controller is proposed to deal with this problem in this paper. It consists of Iterative learning control (ILC) based stable controller and admittance control based unstable controller, functioned with wearers walking stable and not. An experiment of force tracking is conducted to verify the controller performance in this paper, and the result demonstrate that the tracking is well after 20 iteration. In order to evaluate the performance of assistance of soft exoskeleton, five health adult male take part in metabolic experiment By compare the metabolic rate between the wear soft exoskeleton and not wear, the metabolic rate are decrease 7.33%, 14.56% and 10.45% with the walking speed of 3km/h, 5km/h and 7km/h, which are corresponding absolute values decrease of 0.46W/kg, 1.60W/kg and 1.21W/kg respectively.
