In recent years, several fully automated flower counting approaches have been proposed. However, such approaches are typically designed to run offline and require a significant amount of computation. Furthermore, little thought has gone into developing convenient interfaces and integrations so that a layperson can use such systems without extensive training. The goal of this study is to develop a flower tracking system that is deployable on a ground robot and can operate in real time. A previous GCNNMatch++ approach was modified to increase the inference speed. Additionally, data from multiple cameras were fused to avoid canopy occlusions, and three-dimensional flower locations were extracted by integrating GPS data from the robot. It is shown that the approach significantly outperforms UAV-based counting and single-camera counting while running at above 40 FPS on an edge device, achieving a counting error of 15.

While data-driven approaches based on deep learning have advanced the capabilities of vision systems, applying these techniques in real robotic scenarios still presents unique methodological challenges. Conventional datasets often do not represent the object categories that a service robot needs to detect. More importantly, state-of-the-art models struggle to address the demanding perception constraints faced by service robots, posing the need for adaptations to the specific environments in which the robots operate. We devise a method that addresses these challenges by leveraging photorealistic simulations to create synthetic visual datasets from a robot's perspective. This approach balances data quality with acquisition costs, enabling the training of deep, general-purpose detectors tailored for service robots. We then demonstrate the benefits of qualifying a general detector for the domain in which the robot is deployed, studying the trade-off between data-acquisition efforts and performance improvement. We evaluate our method using a representative selection of prominent deep-learning object detectors for the challenge of recognizing, in real time, the presence and traversability of doorways. This task, which we refer to as <i>door detection</i>, is fundamental to numerous significant robotic tasks, such as tracking the changing topology of dynamic environments. We conduct an extensive experimental campaign in the field, considering different real-world setups while emulating the typical challenges encountered in long-term deployments of service robots. Our key findings demonstrate that simulation and qualification techniques can significantly reduce costs associated with domain adaptation for service robots. While simulation allows embedding the robot's perspective during the training of end-to-end robotic vision modules, qualification is essential to improve their robustness over challenging detection instances, thus reaching the performance level typically required by realistic long-term deployments of service robots.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Field Robotics","volume":"43 3","pages":"1299-1331"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on the division of labor in autonomous multi-robot systems, aiming to find optimal strategies for resource allocation among robots operating in complex scenarios. Each robot makes independent yet interacting decisions in relatively isolated dynamic environments. We propose a model that applies game theory from economics, classifying the robots into resource-providing robots and resource-consuming robots. Resource providers acquire resources and compete to determine the optimal strategy, while resource consumers purchase resources, making decisions based on the pricing set by providers. The problem is formulated as a two-stage game. In the first stage, resource providers engage in resource games, abstracted into Cournot or Stackelberg models, where optimal decisions are made based on available resources and estimated strategies of other participants. The second stage involves price games between providers and consumers, analogous to market supply and demand relationships. Price adjustments and demand changes lead to the discovery of Nash equilibria in the price game. Simulations were conducted to compare the system-wide benefits when providers adopt different strategies in the first stage. Results indicate that using the Stackelberg model yields higher overall benefits, further demonstrating the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed strategies.

The forward kinematics of the CCRobot-S robotic system, however, is inherently mathematically intractable. This research proposes a novel cascaded strategy with Embodied Artificial Intelligence (EAI) to effectively tackle the forward kinematics problem. In this proposed strategy, a lightweight deep learning-based model integrated with numerical method optimization supplants traditional methods, providing feedback on the poses of the flying platform to the control loop of the CCRobot-S robotic system. It provides an approximate solution as initial values through a deep neural network by learning from physical or simulated interactive experiences of CCRobot-S, and then transfers the suitable initial values with kinematic constraints or physical constraints that are near the real solution to the numerical method. This process achieves a stable and robust solution for the forward kinematics of CCRobot-S. This article includes the foundational kinematic analysis of CCRobot-S, the formulation of the CCRobot-S model, a comprehensive introduction and analysis of the cascaded strategy, including the dataset preparation, the training configuration, the solution inference, and the numerical method optimization. Comprehensive evaluations and experiments were undertaken to examine the proposed strategy. The results reveal and confirm that the deep-learning neural network implemented in the CCRobot-S robotic system is effective.

Large-scale benchmark function experiments and performance comparisons with various algorithms, including the original Ivy algorithm, demonstrate significant improvements in convergence speed, global search capability, and avoidance of local optima. As a result, we propose a self-coupling time delay fractional-order proportional-integral-derivative control strategy (IIVYA-ST-FOPID) based on the improved Ivy algorithm, which is successfully applied to industrial systems such as simple mathematical model, DC motor speed control system, servo tension control system, and hybrid multi-area power system.

Maneuvering the C-arm with a steering lever and pushing and pulling are inconvenient and provide imprecise movement control. This adjustment method necessitates repetitive repositioning and additional X-ray imaging, leading to delays in surgery and increased radiation exposure.

The traditional techniques of detection are slow and intrusive and lack the precision needed to act in a timely manner in precision agriculture. To overcome this, the proposed work presents a new deep learning framework called SiaRDFNet, which involves the addition of a Siamese network with a ResNet and DenseNet backbone to enhance the accuracy of root disease classification. The data set of this study was 244 high-resolution root images (126 healthy and 118 diseased samples) that were augmented by the methods of rotation, flipping, cropping, and zooming to create diversity. The framework takes the form of wavelet-based denoising, multi-scale histogram equalization, and adaptive spatial filtering, and the root segmentation when using FusionSegNet++ as the framework that introduces CBAM attention to find the exact localization of features. The segmented roots are then fed into a Siamese ResNetDenseNet fusion backbone, which allows comparative learning to be done of the healthy and diseased samples. To achieve effective disease discrimination, we use joint embedding optimization consisting of contrastive and triplet loss functions that generate a disease-sensitive and discriminating feature space. This special combination of segmentation, Siamese comparative learning, and dual embedding loss functions predetermines the originality of our approach. The model proposed showed an accuracy of 99.12%, precision of 98.02%, sensitivity of 99.16%, specificity of 99.46%, F1-score of 99.22%, and MCC of 99.15%; therefore, demonstrating that it is an effective, scalable, accurate, noninvasive solution to early root disease detection in smart agriculture.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Field Robotics","volume":"43 3","pages":"1524-1548"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2026-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
