In the construction industry, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics has led to significant advancements in automating various tasks. One critical aspect is the intelligent navigation of automatic mobile robot (AMR) within construction sites, where dynamic environments pose challenges such as inaccurate robot state estimation, irregular and textureless obstacle detection. To solve these issues, this paper designs an AI enabled obstacle-aware AMR intelligent navigation approach while ensuring robot safety and efficiency. Specifically, the robot is equipped with the complementary RGB camera, inertial measurement unit (IMU) and wheel encoder to estimate the states (i.e., positions, orientations and velocities), which have been tightly fused in the optimization framework. Furthermore, the RGB-Depth images are jointly fed into the AI model. It combines of Mask-RCNN and multi-scale attention network, to detect and segment the obstacles, and estimate the corresponding relative depth. It should be noted that the system incorporates obstacle awareness mechanisms to dynamically switch the robot's velocities in response to obstacles in the environment, ensuring smooth and collision-free movement. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed AI-enabled navigation system in real-world construction scenarios, showcasing its potential to enhance productivity and safety in construction automation. © 2004-2012 IEEE.

Research in mobile robotics is growing into applications for difficult-to-access environments, such as in rescue and transport missions. Furthermore, autonomous vehicles can perform data collection in complex approach areas. Therefore, the study of hybrid unmanned vehicles is relevant for several areas, since these vehicles can act in different domains. The developed vehicle, called Hydrone, is designed in a quadrotor-type structure and equipped with a set of aerial and underwater propellers, which are fixed and independent between them. In this sense, this work presents the mathematical modeling of an unmanned hybrid vehicle, which can navigate underwater and aerial environments. Furthermore, the modeling considers the ground effect due to the influence on the vehicle’s trajectory change and the dynamics of the transition zone between water-air and air-water. These dynamics are important to evaluate the controller’s performance. Numerical simulations consider both transitions (water-air and air-water) and they are performed to discuss the influence of acting forces on the vehicle stability and position-tracking performance using a classical control system. © 2024, The Authors.

Implementing dynamic locomotion behaviors on legged robots requires a high-quality state estimation module. Especially when the motion includes flight phases, state-of-the-art approaches fail to produce reliable estimation of the robot posture, in particular base height. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for combining visual-inertial odometry (VIO) with leg odometry in an extended Kalman filter (EKF) based state estimator. The VIO module uses a stereo camera and IMU to yield low-drift 3D position and yaw orientation and drift-free pitch and roll orientation of the robot base link in the inertial frame. However, these values have a considerable amount of latency due to image processing and optimization, while the rate of update is quite low which is not suitable for low-level control. To reduce the latency, we predict the VIO state estimate at the rate of the IMU measurements of the VIO sensor. The EKF module uses the base pose and linear velocity predicted by VIO, fuses them further with a second high-rate IMU and leg odometry measurements, and produces robot state estimates with a high frequency and small latency suitable for control. We integrate this lightweight estimation framework with a nonlinear model predictive controller and show successful implementation of a set of agile locomotion behaviors, including trotting and jumping at varying horizontal speeds, on a torque-controlled quadruped robot.

Switched reluctance motors (SRMs) are capable of operating at high speeds and high loads. The large back EMF results in the excitation winding current being demagnetized more slowly, which, in turn, reduces the efficiency and output of the motor system. This study proposes a novel individually demagnetization power converter (IDPC) specifically designed for SRMs to effectively use the demagnetization energy through an independent demagnetization circuit. Compared with traditional converters, the IDPC can accept direct current (dc) and high-frequency ac inputs while achieving fast demagnetization and energy recovery. The topology and working principle of the IDPC are analyzed in detail in this article using a three-phase 12/8 SRM as the research object. In addition, the influence of the winding demagnetization voltage on the negative torque during the demagnetization phase was studied, as well as the functional implementation and logic control strategy of the IDPC. Simulation and experimental results confirm the validity of the proposed topology and high-frequency ac drive characteristics, as well as their advantages in terms of efficiency, output capacity, and dynamic performance. © 2015 IEEE.

In recent years, there has been rapid development in the field of event vision. It manifests itself both on the technical side, as better and better event sensors are available, and on the algorithmic side, as more and more applications of this technology are proposed and scientific papers are published. However, the data stream from these sensors typically contains a significant amount of noise, which varies depending on factors such as the degree of illumination in the observed scene or the temperature of the sensor. We propose a hardware architecture of the Distance-based Interpolation with Frequency Weights(DIF) filter and implement it on an FPGA chip. To evaluate the algorithm and compare it with other solutions, we have prepared a new high-resolution event dataset, which we are also releasing to the community. Our architecture achieved a throughput of 403.39 million events per second (MEPS) for a sensor resolution of 1280 × 720 and 428.45 MEPS for a resolution of 640 × 480. The averagevalues of the Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) index ranged from 0.844 to 0.999, depending on the dataset, which is comparable to the state-of-the-art filtering solutions, but with much higher throughput and better operation over a wide range of noise levels.

This paper investigates the scheduling problem of a fleet of electric vehicles, providing mobility as a service to a set of time-specified customers, where the operator needs to solve the routing and charging problem jointly for each EV. Hereby we consider incentive-aware customers and propose that the operator offers monetary incentives to customers in exchange for time flexibility. In this way, the fleet operator can achieve a routing and charging schedule with lower costs, whilst the customers receive monetary compensation for their flexibility. Specifically, we first propose a bi-level optimization model whereby the fleet operator optimizes the routing and charging schedule accounting for the spatio-temporal varying charging price, jointly with a monetary incentive to reimburse the delivery time flexibility experienced by the customers. Concurrently the customers choose their own time flexibility by minimizing their own cost. Second, we cope with the computational burden coming from this nonlinear bi-level optimization model with an accurate reformulation approach consisting of the KKT optimality conditions, a Big-M-based linearization method, and the zero duality gap of convex optimization problems. This way, we convert the proposed problem into a single-level optimization problem, which can be solved by a strengthened generalized Benders decomposition method holding a faster convergence rate than the generalized Benders decomposition method. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed mathematical model, we carry out numerous simulation experiments by using the VRP-REP data of Belgium. The numerical results showcase that the proposed mathematical model can reduce the delivery fees for the customers together with the cost of operation incurred by the fleet operator. © 2022, The Authors.

As vehicle automation advances, motion planning algorithms face escalating challenges in achieving safe and efficient navigation. Existing Advanced Driver Assistance systems (ADAS) primarily focus on basic tasks, leaving unexpected scenarios for human intervention, which can be error-prone. Motion planning approaches for higher levels of automation in the state-of-the-art are primarily oriented toward the use of risk- or anti-collision constraints, using over-approximates of the shapes and sizes of other road users to prevent collisions. These methods however suffer from conservative behavior and the risk of infeasibility in high-risk initial conditions. In contrast, our work introduces a novel multi-objective trajectory generation approach. We propose an innovative method for constructing risk fields that accommodates diverse entity shapes and sizes, which allows us to also account for the presence of potentially occluded objects. This methodology is integrated into an occlusion-aware trajectory generator, enabling dynamic and safe maneuvering through intricate environments while anticipating (potentially hidden) road users and traveling along the infrastructure toward a specific goal. Through theoretical underpinnings and simulations, we validate the effectiveness of our approach. This paper bridges crucial gaps in motion planning for automated vehicles, offering a pathway toward safer and more adaptable autonomous navigation in complex urban contexts.

Sensor simulation has emerged as a promising and powerful technique to find solutions to many real-world robotic tasks like localization and pose tracking. However, commonly used simulators have high hardware requirements and are therefore used mostly on high-end computers. In this paper, we present an approach to simulate range sensors directly on embedded hardware of mobile robots that use triangle meshes as environment map. This library called Rmagine allows a robot to simulate sensor data for arbitrary range sensors directly on board via raytracing. Since robots typically only have limited computational resources, the Rmagine aims at being flexible and lightweight, while scaling well even to large environment maps. It runs on several platforms like Laptops or embedded computing boards like Nvidia Jetson by putting an unified API over the specific proprietary libraries provided by the hardware manufacturers. This work is designed to support the future development of robotic applications depending on simulation of range data that could previously not be computed in reasonable time on mobile systems.
