A localization system with 4×4 Hall sensor array is designed and used to test the accuracy of the localization method. Static experimental results show that the average total position error is 1.64 mm, the average total orientation error is 1.08°. The total position error and the total orientation error at the center of the working space can reach 1.31 mm and 1.03° respectively. The localization method in real-time localization experiments also has great accuracy. When the localization system is applied in the magnetic levitation capsule robot control system (MLCRCS), the position error and orientation error can reach 1.61 mm and 1.5°.","PeriodicalId":106730,"journal":{"name":"2022 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132234842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the achievement obtained by several encoding-decoding deep learning models, grasping detection for objects with much different sizes is still not well solved. In this paper, a Dilated Residual Connection Neural Network (DR-ConvNet) is proposed to achieve the multi-object grasping detection in RGB-D images. On one hand, the detection and location for small objects can addressed well due to the encoding-decoding structure. On the other hand, the proposed dilated residual module can capture more complete features for large objects by its larger receptive field than ordinary convolutions. To verify and highlight the advantages of the proposed DR-ConvNet, an expanded new dataset called S-Cornell is built based on the Cornell grasping dataset. On this dataset, the proposed method can achieve 9S.7% and 95.4% accuracy in single-object and multi-object grasping detection respectively. Several experiments prove that the proposed model can outperform some current popular grasping detection methods in RGB-D images.","PeriodicalId":106730,"journal":{"name":"2022 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"263 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132424058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the operating objects are often fragile human tissues, how to improve the safety of the surgical process is the key for practical application of surgical robots. General human-robot interaction methods for safety such as collision detection and obstacle avoidance are relatively passive and robot-based, having difficulty in dealing with complex surgical scenarios. Virtual Fixture(VF), an active motion constraint method, is more suitable for shared control in surgical scenarios. This paper introduces a combination of VF method with admittance control for avoiding damage to robot or tissues while complying with doctor’s intention. Firstly, in order to obtain the human-robot interaction force, a statistical method for six-dimensional force sensor calibration is proposed. Then, two velocity-based admittance control models are compared by simulation, and the first order inertial model is selected. On the basis of these, a variety of hard VFs with visual information are established. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method and the causes of violation are analyzed by experiments on a serial robot manipulator.","PeriodicalId":106730,"journal":{"name":"2022 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131753208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetizing bacteria used are about 3-5um in length and move at a speed of about 23. 73um/s. Since the bacteria themselves have a magnetic moment, the magnetic field generated by the regulated current can apply a steering moment to the magnetizing bacteria to achieve directional guidance.

We propose a TCN-MLP encoder-decoder framework that considers both the trajectory data of predicted vehicle and surrounding vehicles in the input. To handle more complex trajectory prediction, a driving intention recognition module is added to the model to identify the intentions in longitudinal and lateral directions. Based on the HighD dataset, we have tested the proposed model and its two variations for ablation experiment. The results show that our model can achieve more accurate trajectory prediction than the state-of-the-art approaches, and the prediction RMSE is reduced by about 33.3% on average.
