In this paper, interval type-2 fuzzy sets, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and the fuzzy control rules are synthesized to realize the control of unmanned vehicle in driving state and behavioral decisions. Compared to the type-1 fuzzy set, type-2 fuzzy sets have more advantages in handling the model based on uncertainties, linguistic information because the membership functions are fuzzy sets. Different membership functions are established for each factor when the unmanned vehicle is driving at different speed intervals. In addition, a new evaluation method is developed to analyze unmanned vehicle’s driving state. Finally, a set of dynamic fuzzy rules are sorted out, which can be applied to the unmanned vehicle’s behavioral decision-making and provide a new idea to related research.

Developing robotic technologies for use in human society requires ensuring the safety of robots' navigation behaviors while adhering to pedestrians' expectations and social norms. However, understanding complex human-robot interactions (HRI) to infer potential cooperation and response among robots and pedestrians for cooperative collision avoid-ance is challenging. To address these challenges, we propose a novel socially-aware navigation benchmark called NaviS Tar, which utilizes a hybrid Spatio- Temporal grAph tRansformer to understand interactions in human-rich environments fusing crowd multi-modal dynamic features. We leverage an off-policy reinforcement learning algorithm with preference learning to train a policy and a reward function network with supervi-sor guidance. Additionally, we design a social score function to evaluate the overall performance of social navigation. To compare, we train and test our algorithm with other state-of-the-art methods in both simulator and real-world scenarios independently. Our results show that NaviSTAR outperforms previous methods with outstanding performance 1 1 The source code and experiment videos of this work are available at: https://***/view/san-navistar

Multi-human multi-robot teams have great potential for complex and large-scale tasks through the collaboration of humans and robots with diverse capabilities and expertise. To efficiently operate such highly heterogeneous teams and maximize team performance timely, sophisticated initial task allocation strategies that consider individual differences across team members and tasks are required. While existing works have shown promising results in reallocating tasks based on agent state and performance, the neglect of the inherent heterogeneity of the team hinders their effectiveness in realistic scenarios. In this paper, we present a novel formulation of the initial task allocation problem in multi-human multi-robot teams as a contextual multi-attribute decision-make process and propose an attention-based deep reinforcement learning approach. We introduce a cross-attribute attention module to encode the latent and complex dependencies of multiple attributes in the state representation. We conduct a case study in a massive threat surveillance scenario and demonstrate the strengths of our model.

Robots in public spaces need to communicate with lay persons who are not directly involved in the robot task to coordinate their movements and resolve critical situations. Hereby, this communication aims at salience and clarity and at the same time needs to be unobtrusive. While in automated cars, communication with uninvolved road members has been investigated with the label external human-machine interface (eHMI) in human-robot interaction (HRI) this has not been systematically discussed. This study investigates some of the mainly discussed eHMI concepts (blinker lights, beep, and speech) for solving critical situations in HRI. Six critical situations were presented together with five communication strategies (presented as videos) in an online study with N = 175 participants. Mainly, criticality and trust were measured as dependent variables. Overall, situations including visually or hearing-impaired persons were perceived as most critical. For all situations, criticality was reduced with added interaction modalities. The combination of blinker lights and voice was ranked as the most preferred strategy for five situations and led to a reduction in criticality of all situations and higher trust in the robot. The relation between perceived criticality and trust was partially mediated by predictability and transparency. Design recommendations for solving critical situations through robots’ communication strategies in the public are discussed.
We introduce Hands-Free VR, a voice-based natural-language interface for VR that allows interaction without additional hardware just using voice. The user voice command is converted into text using a fine-tuned speech...

Public safety is an escalating concern in the United States, given the rising crime rates. However, existing research paper on recommending safe routes often overlooks crucial factors essential for assessing road risk. In contrast to prior studies, this study introduces an innovative approach that recommends safe routes based on road risk prediction. By employing Gaussian Kernel Density Estimation, the study estimates the densities of crime and urban data for each coordinate in Chicago while considering the severity of crimes. These estimated densities are then utilized to predict future crime density using a machine learning model. The predicted crime density is assigned to each node and edge of the Chicago graph map, serving as an indicator of road risk. Four types of weighted graphs are generated by combining road risk and road length in different ratios, which are subsequently applied in the Dijkstra shortest path algorithm. The proposed application of this study is expected to decrease the likelihood of crime incidents, thereby fostering a safer environment. Furthermore, the results analyzed in this paper can serve as valuable reference material for community safety initiatives.

Researchers are embracing deep learning in various interdisciplinary research domains, recognizing undeniable benefits offered by deep neural networks. However, in order to meet the substantial computational demands for processing deep learning models, researchers extensively rely on cloud servers. Nevertheless, the shared nature of cloud servers encourages research labs and facilities to establish private clouds, ensuring exclusive access to computational resources and safeguarding data privacy. Creating a private cloud from bare metal presents challenges with existing provisioning solutions. These solutions not only come with a set of complex installation and configuration steps but are also limited to a constrained local Ethernet broadcast domain for network loading, which may pose unforeseen difficulties and risks for researchers who do not specialize in computing. To address these issues, this paper introduces EL2W, Extended Layer 2 services to Wide area networks (WAN), a novel approach we developed following Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) principles. EL2W aims to help automate the system installation procedure by reducing the repetitive configurations and setups using Infrastructure-as-Code based scripts and codes. In addition, EL2W can securely expand an Ethernet network’s logical and functional extent beyond the current physical limitations of Ethernet layer 2 networks. We describe the implementation and architecture of a remote bare metal provisioning system built upon secure extended layer 2 networks. Experimental results demonstrate the capability of EL2W for establishing a secure layer 2 connection to provide essential bare metal provisioning services, as well as the effectiveness of a local proxy cache server to reduce the operating system loading time.
