The most significant concept is to design the Fault Diagnosis Generative Adversarial Network (FD-GAN) to fully adapt to the fault diagnosis problem with insufficient data. We found that it is difficult for methods based on classification and prediction to learn failure patterns without enough data. A straightforward solution is to use massive amounts of normal data to drive the diagnostic model. We introduce frequency-domain information and fuse multi-sensor data to increase the features and expand the difference between normal data and fault data. A GAN-based framework is designed to calculate the probability that the enhanced data belongs to the normal category. It uses a generator network as a feature extractor, and uses a discriminator network as a fault probability evaluator, which creates a new use of GAN in the field of fault diagnosis. Among the many learning strategies of GAN, we find that a key point that can distinguish the two types of data is to use the hidden layer noise with appropriate discrimination as the excitation. We also design a fault location method based on binary search, which greatly improves the search efficiency and engineering value of the entire method. We have conducted a lot of experiments to prove the diagnostic effectiveness of our architecture in various road conditions and working modes. We compared FD-GAN with popular diagnostic methods. The results show that our method has the highest accuracy and recall rate.","PeriodicalId":164619,"journal":{"name":"Unmanned Syst.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132456165","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 remarkable advances in schemes for cooperation, there is a critical lack of approaches to handle multiple uncertainties inherent to MR-SLAM in large-scale environments. This paper proposes a multi-uncertainty captured multi-robot lidar odometry and mapping (MUC-LOAM) framework, to quantify and utilize the uncertainties of feature points and robot mutual poses in large-scale environments. A proposed hybrid weighting strategy for pose update is integrated into MUC-LOAM to handle feature uncertainty from distance changing and dynamic objects. A devised Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) is proposed to capture mutual pose uncertainty. Then the covariance propagation of quaternions to Euler angles conversion is leveraged to filter out unreliable mutual poses. Another covariance propagation through coordinate transformations in nonlinear optimization improves the accuracy of map merging. The feasibility and enhanced robustness of the proposed framework for large-scale exploration are validated on both public datasets and real-world experiments.","PeriodicalId":164619,"journal":{"name":"Unmanned Syst.","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130860746","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}
