{"title":"Robotics & automation for societal good bridging competitions & challenges and technology & public policy","authors":"R. Madhavan","doi":"10.1109/ICARSC.2017.7964042","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICARSC.2017.7964042","url":null,"abstract":"Recent developments in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence accompanied by the confusion and concerns surrounding their societal impacts (e.g., self-driving cars, drones, and robots equated to job losses) only fuel the speculation of their negative effects while making the discussion imbalanced and skewed. Consequently, there exists a huge disconnect between what is possible from an engineering viewpoint and what the expectations of the general public are. While the source of this disconnect can be conveniently blamed on Hollywood movies and alarmist opinions reported by the media, the scientific community also can be held accountable, at least partly, for some of these confusions and exaggerations. Fundamentally, the problem lies in the fact that we have not seen many practical, robust, and affordable solutions that can make a difference in the quality of lives of end-users. My previous work focused on performance evaluation, benchmarking and standardization of intelligent systems (mostly ground robots). My current work focuses on the applied use of robotics and automation technologies for the benefit of underserved and under-developed communities by working closely with them to develop solutions that showcase the effectiveness of solutions in domains that strike a chord with the beneficiaries. This is made possible by bringing together researchers, practitioners from industry, academia, local governments, and various entities such as the IEEE Robotics Automation Society's Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (RAS-SIGHT), NGOs, and NPOs across the globe. In this keynote, I will discuss a demining challenge that I have been co-organizing with the intent of producing an open-source solution for detecting and classifying buried unexploded ordnance. I will also outline my recent efforts in the technology and public policy domains with emphasis on socio-economic, cultural, privacy, and security issues in developing and developed economies. Finally, I will draw my conclusions based on the competitions and challenges that have been organized from industrial, academic, and humanitarian viewpoints and how their impacts could be assessed.","PeriodicalId":293686,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions","volume":"255 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124645769","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}

{"title":"Vineyard Skeletonization for Autonomous Robot Navigation","authors":"Olga Contente, José Nuno Panelas Nunes Lau, Francisco Morgado, Raul Manuel Pereira Morais dos Santos","doi":"10.1109/ICARSC.2015.16","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/ICARSC.2015.16","url":null,"abstract":"Prior knowledge of possible routes is undoubtedly an added value for autonomous navigation in irregular agricultural terrains. This information is particularly important when it involves the navigation of a monitoring robot, which necessarily carries a wide range of expensive sensors and when the vineyard presents a non-uniform configuration and extends over a very highly uneven terrain. In such case, a small navigation positional error can result in a large vertical deviation and consequently, a serious fall, which may damage or even destroy the robot. This article presents an automated way of deriving possible routes in this kind of terrain using three curve-skeleton algorithms for the 3D surfaces of the vineyard where the robot may navigate. The skeleton curves and real trajectory were represented in a graphical user OpenGL application developed for this purpose. A thinning, a geometric and a distance field algorithm were used for this study. The skeleton curves were compared with a real navigation path made by an expert when driving a tractor while spraying of the vineyard. In order to meet expert recommendations, the thinning algorithm was validated as the most suitable to achieve the aim of the study as it minimizes the quadratic average distance function applied to the skeleton points and the real trajectory. The limits of the most suitable curve-skeleton will be used as decision making points to establish navigation criteriafor next step path planning.","PeriodicalId":293686,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121097754","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}

We also believe that the best way to measure its performance and validate its behavior is taking part in a robotic challenge. This robotic platform explicitly uses low cost components, making it an accessible platform in monetary terms. In addition, we have designed a component-oriented software architecture that allows an easy implementation of simple HRI tasks. We demonstrate the feasibility of this proposal by taking part in the competition RoCKIn@home. There we show the basic abilities needed to work in a house environment, such as selflocalization, navigation, human dialog, and object manipulation. Our goal is to be able to evaluate and to compare it with other robotic platforms.","PeriodicalId":293686,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Autonomous Robot Systems and Competitions","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124732362","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}
