An information pipeline model of human-robot interaction

Proceedings of the 4th ACM/IEEE international conference on Human robot interaction, 2009
This paper investigates the potential usefulness of viewing the system of human, robot, and environment as an "information pipeline" from environment to user and back again. Information theory provides tools for analyzing and maximizing the information rate of each stage of this pipeline, and could thus encompass several common HRI goals: "situational ...

Rethinking Robotic Data Pipelines

Large-scale multimodal datasets underpin recent advances in language conditioned robotic learning. However, widely used benchmarks rely on conventional Extract–Transform–Load (ETL) pipelines that irreversibly process trajectories prior to storage, discarding raw simulation state and limiting flexibility and reproducibility.

Tracing and localization system for pipeline robot

Mechatronics, 2009
Abstract Two different robotic systems for in-pipe inspection of underground oil pipelines are overviewed. This paper mostly introduces the tracing and localization technology of in-pipe robot without tether cable. The key technique is how to achieve reliable communication between inside and outside of metallic pipeline.

Autonomous Robotic System for Pipeline Integrity Inspection

2017
In this paper, we present an external pipeline inspection robotic system capable of detecting the surface defects on above-ground pipelines and modeling their degradation. This system consists of two subsystems, the main base and the sensing system. The main base is a self-driving autonomous ground vehicle (AGV) equipped with Lidar, acoustic sensors ...

Pipe Inspection Robots for Sewerage Pipelines

2017
A sewer is defined as a pipe (an artificial subterranean conduit or tunnel) that collects and transports waste and drainage water (e.g., surface runoffs such as storm water, rainwater, and groundwater). Sewage collection systems are an extensive and vital part of the infrastructure for any country.
