This paper proposes a low-cost interface and refined digital twin for the Raven-II surgical robot. Previous simulations of the Raven-II, e.g. via the Asynchronous Multibody Framework (AMBF), presented salient drawbacks, including control inputs inconsistent with Raven-II software, and lack of stable, high-fidelity physical contact simulations. This work bridges both of these gaps, both (1) enabling robust, simulated contact mechanics for dynamic physical interactions with the Raven-II, and (2) developing a universal input format for both simulated and physical platforms. The method furthermore proposes a low cost, commodity game-controller interface for controlling both virtual and real realizations of Raven-II, thus greatly reducing the barrier to access for Raven-II research and collaboration. Overall, this work aims to eliminate the inconsistencies between simulated and real representations of the Raven-II. Such a development can expand the reach of surgical robotics research. Namely, providing end-to-end transparency between the simulated AMBF and physical Raven-II platforms enables a software testbed previously unavailable, e.g. for training real surgeons, for creating digital synthetic datasets, or for prototyping novel architectures like shared control strategies. Experiments validate this transparency by comparing joint trajectories between digital twin and physical testbed given identical inputs. This work may be extended and incorporated into recent efforts in developing modular or common software infrastructures for both simulation and control of real robotic devices, such as the Collaborative Robotics Toolkit (CRTK).

Sequence modeling faces challenges in capturing long-range dependencies across diverse tasks. Recent linear and transformer-based forecasters have shown superior performance in time series forecasting. However, they are constrained by their inherent inability to effectively address long-range dependencies in time series data, primarily due to using fixed-size inputs for prediction. Furthermore, they typically sacrifice essential temporal correlation among consecutive training samples by shuffling them into mini-batches. To overcome these limitations, we introduce a fast and effective Spectral Attention mechanism, which preserves temporal correlations among samples and facilitates the handling of long-range information while maintaining the base model structure. Spectral Attention preserves long-period trends through a low-pass filter and facilitates gradient to flow between samples. Spectral Attention can be seamlessly integrated into most sequence models, allowing models with fixed-sized look-back windows to capture longrange dependencies over thousands of steps. Through extensive experiments on 11 real-world time series datasets using 7 recent forecasting models, we consistently demonstrate the efficacy of our Spectral Attention mechanism, achieving state-of-the-art results.

One of the most important tasks in autonomous driving and autonomous vehicle navigation is detecting a path or trajectory that the vehicle should follow. Over the past few years, some learning-based works have stood out more than traditional computer vision techniques in detecting such lanes. In this paper we present an approach to solve the lane line detection problem in the context of visual path following by using a residual factorized convolutional neural network. Experimental results show a promising model that can detect lane lines even under severe lighting conditions and in the presence of occlusions and shadows. The path detection system was tested along with a visual path following formulation based on Nonlinear Model Predictive Control. Still, it can be used for any controller in the context of visual navigation for autonomous vehicles. Nonetheless, the proposed model architecture strikes a remarkable balance between accuracy and efficiency, making the system suitable for real-time applications.

Sags and swells are types of power quality disturbances that involve fluctuations in voltage. Sags are decreases in a voltage’s magnitude while swells are increases in a voltage’s magnitude. There are a number of different techniques to identify and classify these power quality disturbances, however in an industrial setting power utilities typically employ the use of the CBEMA and ITIC curves to classify the power quality disturbances they encounter. The CBEMA and ITIC curves utilize RMS voltage to denote whether a disturbance is expected to impact the system it occurs on, however there are a number of ambiguities surrounding the use of both curves. One such ambiguity is the lack of specification surrounding the window size used to calculate RMS values. This paper proposes MATLAB scripts that can synthesize waveforms with sags and swells according to a variety of user-defined parameters and provide their RMS voltages. This paper also presents a MATLAB function that can plot the RMS voltage magnitude and durations of transient events onto the ITIC curve. This paper explores the effect of varying the window size used to calculate RMS voltage for each disturbance across different parameters. Moreover, the paper presents an analysis of the RMS voltage of a real-world voltage sag in a three-phase system.
