The most standard image object detectors are usually comprised of one or multiple feature extractors or classifiers within a sliding window framework. Nevertheless, this type of approach has demonstrated a very limited performance under datasets of cluttered scenes and real life situations. To tackle these issues, LIDAR space is exploited here in order to detect 2D objects in 3D space, avoiding all the inherent problems of regular sliding window techniques. Additionally, we propose a relational parts-based pedestrian detection in a probabilistic non-iid framework. With the proposed framework, we have achieved state-of-the-art performance in a pedestrian dataset gathered in a challenging urban scenario. The proposed system demonstrated superior performance in comparison with pure sliding-window-based image detectors.

This paper presents a shared control approach for motion compensation in robotic beating heart surgery. Motion compensation consists of three main tasks; motion synchronization, image stabilization and shared control. The paper discusses a unifying framework under which the three tasks combine seamlessly. In this work, the planar 1-manifold case is considered, where a strip-wise affine map is performed to achieve image stabilization onto a canonical space, where shared control emerges naturally. A prototype teleoperation system is also described, implementing the algorithms. Experiments were performed with medically trained users, and the positive effect of motion compensation is analyzed.

An important aspect of robotic path planning for is ensuring that the vehicle is in the best location to collect the data necessary for the problem at hand. Given that features of in- terest are dynamic and move with oceanic cur- rents, vehicle speed is an important factor in any planning exercises to ensure vehicles are at the right place at the right time. Here, we examine different Gaussian process models to find a suitable predictive kinematic model that enable the speed of an underactuated, au- tonomous surface vehicle to be accurately pre- dicted given a set of input environmental pa-rameters.

Eliminating the bias term of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier permits substancial simplification to training algorithms. Using this elimination, the optimization invloved in training can be decomposed to update as low as one coordinate at a time. This paper explores two directions of improvements which stem from this simplification. The first one is about the options available for choosing the coordinate to optimize during each optimization iteration. The second one is about the parallelization schemes which the simplified optimization facilitates.

This milestone report addresses first the position of the areas of computers, computational intelligence and communications within IFAC. Subsequently, it addresses the role of computational intelligence in control. It focuses on four topics within the Computational intelligence area: neural network control, fuzzy control, reinforcement learning and brain machine interfaces. Within these topics the challenges and the relevant theoretical contributions are highlighted, as well as expected future directions are pointed out.
The use of groups of autonomous marine vehicles has enormous potential in numerous marine applications, perhaps the most relevant of which is the surveying and exploration of the oceans, still widely unknown and misun...

To characterize the power performance of wind turbine generators (WTGs), the International Electrotechnical Commission provides a power curve for each one based on ten minutes average. This approach causes the problem of systematic errors because of the nonlinear relationship between power and wind speed. In this paper, recurrent neural networks are introduced as an alternative approach to model this nonlinear relationship. Based on actual wind speed input and wind power output, an input-output relationship is established for a permanent magnet synchronous machine based wind power generator. Experimental studies are carried out to the develop power curve that characterize dynamic power performance of the wind turbine generator. These dynamic power performance models of wind turbine generators can be used as operational and planning models in control centers. Some preliminary results on the integration of a neural network wind generator model in a micro-grid simulation is presented.

Given a class of nonlinear systems with implicitly defined outputs, we provide a new algorithm to find appropriate local coordinates, in which the resulting system takes a desired target form that is state-affine, up to output and input injection. Once in the target form, it is possible to construct a state-space observer with linear, possibly time-varying, error dynamics.
