Yet few UGVs can effectively detect pits and ditches in an off-road environment at high speeds autonomously. This paper presents an adaptive negative obstacle detection method for autonomous vehicles using multiple side-mounted LiDARs. The method begins by extracting range jump in radial direction from the raw sensor data to get potential negative obstacle feature point pairs, and then estimates the vector of the scanned ground surface around the potential negative obstacles each moment. Subsequently, the feature point pairs are filtered based on several geometrical features related to the range and the deviation between the feature point pairs and the ground vector. Then we fuse the feature point pairs from multiple LiDARs and multiple frames to improve robustness and the longest detection distance. A series of experiments have been conducted in several typical off-road scenarios. The experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately detect negative obstacles and could deal with complex terrain in off-road environments.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130414050","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 model the storage and retrieval of this communication in swarm robotic systems with decentralisation using Blockchain Technology. Blockchain lets a group of agents reach consensus as well as exchange data without the need for a central authority, just like in a swarm. Construction of structures is a common problem that can be solved by using swarm robotics. In this paper, we apply the blockchain approach to decentralisation of swarm systems to construct 2-D structures with blocks in a multi-bot environment as a Proof of Concept.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116977890","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 propose a system comprising a team of robots that performs a previously unseen task—a variant, to be specific—by learning from the sequences of actions taken by multiple human beings doing this task in various ways using deep learning (DL). The training inputs can be through actual manipulation of the team of robots using an augmented-reality tablet or through a simulator. Results indicate that the system is able to fulfill the specified variant of the task more than 80% of the time, inaccuracies mainly owing to unrealistic specifications of tasks.

The energy collected is determined by the orientation and length of time that the aircraft's solar panels are exposed to the sun.

Therefore, a perpetual energy balance can be maintained when the aircraft flies along a trajectory that maximizes solar exposure and minimizes flight maneuvers.
