Prediction of Surface Topography Parameters in Direct Laser Interference Patterning of Stainless Steel Using Infrared Monitoring and Convolutional Neural Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents an infrared monitoring approach for direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) combined with a convolutional neural network (CNN). Thermal emission data captured during structuring are used to predict surface topography parameters.

Simultaneous Task Subdivision and Allocation Using Negotiations in Multi-Robot Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2015
This paper presents a negotiations-based approach for simultaneous task subdivision and assignment in heterogeneous multi-robot systems. We first propose an abstraction of the concept of a task that allows for the generalizing of a variety of different ...

Low-Cost Multimodal Fusion of 2D LiDAR and RGB Camera for Accurate Object-Level Perception [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
Sensor fusion between LiDAR and camera modalities has emerged as an effective approach for improving perception in autonomous robotic systems. However, most existing solutions rely on high-cost sensors and computationally intensive algorithms. This paper

Deep Forward and Inverse Perceptual Models for Tracking and Prediction

open access: yes, 2018
We consider the problems of learning forward models that map state to high-dimensional images and inverse models that map high-dimensional images to state in robotics.

Interaction between Molten Al‐Killed Mn–B Steel and Carbon‐Bonded MgO Refractories Based on Recyclates

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐temperature interactions between low‐sulfur Al‐killed Mn–B steel and MgO–C refractories (0 and 50 wt% recyclates) are studied via finger immersion tests (1600 °C). Surface‐active elements influence infiltration. MgO/CaS layer forms, along with spinel and calcium silicate.

Automated Reasoning for Robot Ethics

open access: yesCoRR, 2015
Deontic logic is a very well researched branch of mathematical logic and philosophy. Various kinds of deontic logics are considered for different application domains like argumentation theory, legal reasoning, and acts in multi-agent systems. In this paper, we show how standard deontic logic can be used to model ethical codes for multi-agent systems ...

Data-Driven Grasp Synthesis - A Survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We review the work on data-driven grasp synthesis and the methodologies for sampling and ranking candidate grasps. We divide the approaches into three groups based on whether they synthesize grasps for known, familiar or unknown objects.
