The robust, efficient, safe and accurate autonomous navigation are heavily depend on parameters of a perception module. In this paper, we consider perception module as a combination of object detection and road segmentation submodules. As a matter of fact, all of them are based on Deep learning technique. It leads to liability of a big training datasets to provide the accuracy, efficiency and robustness of a perception module for a self-driving car operating in a wide range of scenarios. This paper presents the GAN-based augmentation as a key factor allowing to improve the performances of perception. The provided research shows the comparison between classical augmentation method and CycleGAN-based method. The main focus is made on detection and segmentation problems at nights. The initial training data includes BDD100K dataset and our own one collected in winter time by means of front-view camera of a self-driving car developed in Innopolis University. The obtained results show the improvement of segmentation task in case of application of CycleGAN augmentation. However, the chosen method of GAN-based augmentation has not shown the positive influence on object detection due to appeared visual artifacts.","PeriodicalId":274976,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference Nonlinearity, Information and Robotics (NIR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128762138","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}

Detecting motor patterns on electroencephalograms (EEGs) is a complex task due to the nonstationarity and complexity of EEG signal, which leads to the high inter- and intra-subject variability of traditionally applied methods. It is especially demanded to use these methods in the context of the elderly group analysis due to the additional age-related changes of the brain motor cortex functioning. In the present paper, we show that RQA measure of complexity is very useful in detection of transitions from background (normal) to motor-related brain activity captured via EEG signals. Moreover, used RQA measure of determinism calculated to quantify brain processes during upper limbs movements reflects contralateral properties of motor-related neuronal activity, which is helpful at distinguishing between two types of executed movements.","PeriodicalId":274976,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference Nonlinearity, Information and Robotics (NIR)","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121648464","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}

Engineers in the field of robotics use it as a source of inspiration to create legged robots. The most common model to describe galloping is the spring-loaded inverted pendulum, representing the body as a mass, while legs perform a spring-like bouncing movement. There are many design choices to implement a robotic system to get desirable bouncing dynamics. This paper compares two opposite ways to design a hopping robot in terms of energy-efficiency: algorithmically with an open chain or mechanically with a closed chain. The first way takes a relatively simple serial kinematic chain and, via impedance control algorithms, perform passive dynamic interaction with the ground. The second way takes SLIP-synthesized underactuated mechanism and via simple position and velocity control perform the same passive dynamic interaction with the ground. The paper contains a detailed description of the hoppers, analysis, and simulation results.","PeriodicalId":274976,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference Nonlinearity, Information and Robotics (NIR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130598118","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}
