In the last decade, several approaches have been proposed for regularizing deeper and wider neural networks (NNs), which is of importance in areas like image classification. It is now common practice to incorporate several regularization approaches in the training procedure of NNs. However, the impact of regularization strength on the properties of an ensemble of NNs remains unclear. For this reason, the study empirically compared the impact of NNs built based on two different regularization strengths (weak regularization (WR) and strong regularization (SR)) on the properties of an ensemble, such as the magnitude of logits, classification accuracy, calibration error, and ability to separate true predictions (TPs) and false predictions (FPs). The comparison was based on results from different experiments conducted on three different models, datasets, and architectures. Experimental results show that the increase in regularization strength 1) reduces the magnitude of logits; 2) can increase or decrease the classification accuracy depending on the dataset and/or architecture; 3) increases the calibration error; and 4) can improve or harm the separability between TPs and FPs depending on the dataset, architecture, model type and/or FP type.

According to the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI), 32 % of the population in the country have some type of motor disability, which includes difficulty in carrying out activities of daily living using the upper extremities. This research proposes the design and simulation of an upper extremity prosthesis controlled by electromyography signals for a patient with a trans-radial amputation. The cover of the prosthesis was made of ABS plastic and its CAD design was made with SolidWorks software. A compartment in the forearm was considered for the placement of the battery and the electronic system in the hand. The EMAXX ES8MA II and TOWER MG995 servomotors were used to load a mass of 2.3 kg of the forearm and hand assembly and a mechanical system to reach the 10 N.m necessary to move the fingers of the hand. The Von Mises stress analysis was carried out by applying a torque of 50 N.m in the coupling of the forearm-hand system. The CoppeliaSim software was used to simulate the movement of the prosthesis with the dimensions extracted from a volunteer patient.

Face detection is a mandatory step in many computer vision applications, such as face recognition, emotion recognition, age detection, virtual makeup, and vital sign monitoring. Thanks to advancements in deep learning and the introduction of annotated large-scale datasets, numerous applications have been developed for human faces. Recently, other domains, such as animals and cartoon characters, have started gaining attention but still lag far behind human faces. The biggest challenge is the limited number of annotated face datasets in these domains. The manual labeling of large-scale datasets is tedious and requires substantial human labor. In this regard, we present an inputagnostic face detector to ease the annotation of various face datasets. We propose a simple but effective data-centric approach instead of building a specific neural network architecture. Specifically, we trained a face detection model, YOLO5Face, on human, animal, and cartoon face datasets. The experiments show that the model can achieve accurate results in all domains. In addition, the model achieved decent results for animals and cartoon characters different from the ones in the training set. This implies that the model can extract agnostic facial features. We have made the source code and pre-trained models publicly available at https://***/IS2AI/AnyFace to stimulate research in these fields.

This paper presents a framework to navigate visually impaired people through unfamiliar environments by means of a mobile manipulator. The Human-Robot system consists of three key components: a mobile base, a robotic arm, and the human subject who gets guided by the robotic arm via physically coupling their hand with the cobot’s end-effector. These components, receiving a goal from the user, traverse a collision-free set of waypoints in a coordinated manner, while avoiding static and dynamic obstacles through an obstacle avoidance unit and a novel human guidance planner. With this aim, we also present a legs tracking algorithm that utilizes 2D LiDAR sensors integrated into the mobile base to monitor the human pose. Additionally, we introduce an adaptive pulling planner responsible for guiding the individual back to the intended path if they veer off course. This is achieved by establishing a target arm end-effector position and dynamically adjusting the impedance parameters in real-time through a impedance tuning unit. To validate the framework we present a set of experiments both in laboratory settings with 12 healthy blindfolded subjects and a proof-of-concept demonstration in a real-world scenario.

To become helpful assistants in our daily lives, robots must be able to understand the effects of their actions on their environment. A modern approach to this is the use of a physics simulation, where often very general simulation engines are utilized. As a result, specific modeling features, such as multi-contact simulation or fluid dynamics, may not be well represented. To improve the representativeness of simulations, we propose a framework for combining estimations of multiple heterogeneous simulations into a single one. The framework couples multiple simulations and reorganizes them based on semantically annotated action sequence information. While each object in the scene is always covered by a simulation, this simulation responsibility can be reassigned on-line. In this paper, we introduce the concept of the framework, describe the architecture, and demonstrate two example implementations. Eventually, we demonstrate how the framework can be used to simulate action executions on the humanoid robot Rollin' Justin with the goal to extract the semantic state and how this information is used to assess whether an action sequence is executed successful or not.

This study extends the whole-body control (WBC) formulation for bipedal humanoid robots that include closed (parallel) kinematic chains in their structure. Along with general formulation, we also stress the implementation of this formulation on Kangaroo, which is a highly dynamic humanoid robot developed by PAL robotics. This 76-DOF robot includes 24 independent closed-kinematic chains in its structure and constitutes a good case study for our approach. We discuss the WBC formulation for various control structures, including inverse dynamics control (IDC) and Modular Passive Tracking Control (MPTC). As a test scenario, we employ a 3D spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) jumping trajectory with disturbance rejection as the desired CoM trajectory.
