This method first uses an algorithm for homogeneity to process the extracted point features, solving the traditional problem of excessive aggregation and overlap of corner points, which makes the visual front end better able to obtain environmental information. In addition, improved line extraction method algorithm by using the strategy of eliminating the line length makes the line extraction performance twice as efficient as the LSD algorithm, the optical flow tracking algorithm is used to replace the traditional matching algorithm to reduce the running time of the system. In particular, the paper proposes a new constraint on the position of the spatially extracted lines, using the parallelism of 3D lines to correct for degraded lines in the projection process, and adding a new constraint on the line structure to the error function of the whole system, the newly constructed error function is optimized by sliding window, which significantly improves the accuracy and completeness of the whole system in constructing maps. Finally, the performance of the algorithm was tested on a publicly available dataset. The experimental results show that our algorithm performs well in point extraction and matching, the proposed point–line fusion system is better than the popular VINS-mono and PL-VINS algorithms in terms of running time, quality of information obtained, and positioning accuracy.","PeriodicalId":48813,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Service Robotics","volume":"142 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138505076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aerial marker balls, which adhere to technical standards concerning their geometry and characteristics, are commonly used for aerial signaling on power transmission systems. Currently, aerial marker balls are installed by technicians either via helicopter or by utilizing ropes to perform the task manually. This process results in significant expenses and exposes the technicians to considerable risk. While robotic methods have been explored, they often present impractical challenges. Despite the advancements in various techniques, difficulties persist in this field. The primary objective of this paper is to design and develop a robotic module that can be attached to a drone, enabling the semi-automated installation of aerial marker balls. The robot model was designed using Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Engineering software’s, with a subsequent description of the control system. After constructing the drone-robot, it was tested in a simulated environment, proving to be both efficient and cost-effective. This innovative approach improves not only the cost-effectiveness of aerial marker ball installation but also the safety of technicians involved in the process.

For the traditional manipulation scheme, achieving dynamic grasping requires either a highly precise dynamic model or sophisticated predefined grasping states and gestures, both of which are hard to obtain and tedious to design. In this paper, we develop a novel reinforcement learning (RL)-based dynamic grasping framework with a trajectory prediction module to address these issues. In particular, we divide dynamic grasping into two parts: RL-based grasping strategies learning and trajectory prediction. In the simulation setting, an RL agent is trained to grasp a static object. When this well-trained agent is transferred to the real world, the observation has been augmented with the predicted one from an LSTM-based trajectory prediction module. We validated the proposed method through an experimental setup involving a Baxter manipulator with two finger grippers and an object placed on a moving car. We also evaluated how well RL performs both with and without our intended trajectory prediction. Experiment results demonstrate that our method can grasp the object on different trajectories at various speeds.","PeriodicalId":48813,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Service Robotics","volume":"23 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138505070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this task remains challenging in the real-time requirement due to the complex scan matching. This paper proposes an efficient LiDAR/inertial-based localization method that simplifies the process of scan matching. Firstly, it constructs KD-tree architectures for the prior map in advance and selects sparse point cloud as local map through a novel refined neighborhood search. Then, to ensure the reliability of localization, this method removes the dynamic points in the prior map by the comparison between newly laser scan and the local map. The pose transformation is calculated by the scan matching of edge and planar points from static objects. Finally, this method introduces a uniform motion model to correct the wrong initial guess from incorrect inertial data pre-integration. Three prior maps are collected from typical scenarios through intelligent inspection robot to verify the robustness of proposed method. Experimental results show that the proposed method not only achieves high accuracy of centimeter-level deviation in localization, but takes less than 0.01 s to complete the pose matching when the LiDAR rate is 20 Hz.","PeriodicalId":48813,"journal":{"name":"Intelligent Service Robotics","volume":"23 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138505071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
