The escape entrapment control strategy is of great significance for planetary rover traversing loosely consolidated granular terrain.

And the forward distance of planetary rovers with “sweeping-spinning” gait was modeled as a function of six control parameters. An online optimization escape entrapment strategy for planetary rover was proposed based on the Bayesian Optimization algorithm. Single-factor experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of each control parameter on forward distance, and determine the parameter ranges. The average forward distance with randomly selected control parameters is 89.64 cm, while that is 136.93 cm with Bayesian optimized control parameters, which verifies the effectiveness of the escape entrapment strategy. Moreover, compared with the trajectory of a planetary rover prototype with the published quadrupedal rotary sequence gait, the trajectory of a planetary rover prototype with “sweeping-spinning” gait is more accurate.

Although traditional search methods have been extensively utilized, meta-heuristic algorithms have gained popularity owing to their efficiency and problem-specific heuristics. However, challenges remain in terms of premature convergence and lack of solution diversity. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel artificial potential field enhanced improved multiobjective snake optimization algorithm (APF-IMOSO). This paper presents four key enhancements to the snake optimizer to significantly improve its performance. Additionally, it introduces four fitness functions focused on optimizing path length, safety (evaluated via artificial potential field method), energy consumption, and time efficiency. The results of simulation and experiment in four scenarios including static and dynamic highlight APF-IMOSO's advantages, delivering improvements of 8.02%, 7.61%, 50.71%, and 12.74% in path length, safety, energy efficiency, and time-savings, respectively, over the original snake optimization algorithm. Compared with other advanced meta-heuristics, APF-IMOSO also excels in these indexes. Real robot experiments show an average path length error of 1.19% across four scenarios. The results reveal that APF-IMOSO can generate multiple viable collision-free paths in complex environments under various constraints, showcasing its potential for use in dynamic path planning within the realm of robot navigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Field Robotics","volume":"41 6","pages":"1843-1863"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140832092","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}

An example is the sea, where litter coming from coasts and cities via gutters, streets, and waterways, releases toxic chemicals and microplastics during its decomposition. Litter removal is often carried out manually by humans, which inherently lowers the amount of waste that can be effectively collected from the environment. In this paper, we present a novel quadruped robot prototype that, thanks to its natural mobility, is able to collect cigarette butts (CBs) autonomously, the second most common undisposed waste worldwide, in terrains that are hard to reach for wheeled and tracked robots. The core of our approach is a convolutional neural network for litter detection, followed by a time-optimal planner for reducing the time needed to collect all the target objects. Precise litter removal is then performed by a visual-servoing procedure which drives the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner that is attached to one of the robot legs on top of the detected CB. As a result of this particular position of the nozzle, we are able to perform the collection task without even stopping the robot's motion, thus greatly increasing the time-efficiency of the entire procedure. Extensive tests were conducted in six different outdoor scenarios to show the performance of our prototype and method.

Knowledge from a mixture of control algorithms (experts) are used to constrain the action space of the agent, enabling faster RL refining of a control policy, by avoiding unnecessary explorative actions. Domain-specific knowledge of each expert is exploited. However, the resulting policy is robust against errors of individual experts, since it is refined by a RL reward function without copying any particular demonstration. Our method has the potential to supplement existing RLfD methods when multiple algorithmic approaches are available to function as experts, specifically in tasks involving continuous action spaces. We illustrate our method in the context of a visual servoing (VS) task, in which a 7-DoF robot arm is controlled to maintain a desired pose relative to a target object. We explore four methods for bounding the actions of the RL agent during training. These methods include using a hypercube and convex hull with modified loss functions, ignoring actions outside the convex hull, and projecting actions onto the convex hull. We compare the training progress of each method using expert demonstrators, employing one expert demonstrator with the DAgger algorithm, and without using any demonstrators. Our experiments show that using the convex hull with a modified loss function not only accelerates learning but also provides the most optimal solution compared with other approaches. Furthermore, we demonstrate faster VS error convergence while maintaining higher manipulability of the arm, compared with classical image-based VS, position-based VS, and hybrid-decoupled VS.</p>","PeriodicalId":192,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Field Robotics","volume":"41 6","pages":"1814-1828"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/rob.22355","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140831758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
