Improvement of point cloud feature extraction and alignment algorithms and lidar slam in coal mine underground

open access: yesMeitan kexue jishu
LiDAR SLAM faces challenges in the narrow and confined unstructured environment of underground coal mines, where inaccurate point cloud pose estimation due to few or complex features can result in distortion or even map construction failure.

Influence of an Argon/Silane Atmosphere on the Temperature of a Thermal Plasma

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The influence of a silane‐doped argon atmosphere on the chemical composition and temperature of a thermal nontransferring argon plasma is investigated using optical emission spectroscopy. As a result of the high amount of free electrons resulting from the stepwise ionization and dissociation of the silane molecule, even a silane addition of 0.01 vol ...

Intrinsic Motivation and Mental Replay enable Efficient Online Adaptation in Stochastic Recurrent Networks

open access: yes, 2018
Autonomous robots need to interact with unknown, unstructured and changing environments, constantly facing novel challenges. Therefore, continuous online adaptation for lifelong-learning and the need of sample-efficient mechanisms to adapt to changes in ...

Handbook of Establishing and Maintaining Oxygen‐Free Atmospheres

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a practical framework for creating oxygen‐free atmospheres at ambient pressure using silane‐doped inert gases. The results show that ultra‐low oxygen levels and strongly reduced water content can be achieved through controlled silane dosing, drying systems, and sensor monitoring.

Efficient Robotic Grasping in Unstructured Environments

open access: yes, 2022
Robots that physically interact with their environment have the potential to automate repetitive tasks in warehouses, hospitals, and homes. However, current applications of robotic manipulation are mostly constrained to well-controlled environments such as assembly lines.

Oxide‐Free Titanium Coatings by Wire Arc Spraying in a Silane‐Doped Inert Atmosphere

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A silane‐doped argon atmosphere enables the production of oxide‐free titanium coatings via twin‐wire arc spraying at ambient pressure. This innovative approach eliminates residual oxygen, creating process conditions that prevent oxidation and nitride formation.

Walking in unstructured natural environments

open access: yes, 1996
In this paper we present a complete behavior-based controller that allows a six legged robot to walk in unstructured environments. the task of walking on rough terrain is decomposed in two subtasks: terrain adaptation and movement generation. The first one maintains the stability of the robot while the second is in charge of the advance movement.

Application of Raman and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy to MgO‐C Refractories

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Visible to near infrared luminescence of MgO is studied on MgO‐C bricks and nominally pure MgO powder, with focus on two similar sharp high‐intensity signals, at 699 and 871 nm, each surrounded by symmetrical sidebands. The nature of these sidebands is investigated by temperature‐dependent spectroscopic measurements, confirming phonon involvement by ...

Policy Learning with Hypothesis based Local Action Selection

open access: yes, 2015
For robots to be able to manipulate in unknown and unstructured environments the robot should be capable of operating under partial observability of the environment.
