Abstract In present-day industrial settings, where robot arms perform tasks in an unstructured environment, there may exist numerous objects of various shapes scattered in random positions, making it challenging for a robot arm to precisely attain the ideal pose to grasp the object. To solve this problem, a multistage robotic arm flexible grasp detection method based on deep learning is proposed. This method first improves the Faster RCNN target detection model, which significantly improves the detection ability of the model for multiscale grasped objects in unstructured scenes. Then, a Squeeze-and-Excitation module is introduced to design a… More >

Abstract A GRASP-based algorithm called T_GRASP for avoiding typhoon route optimization is suggested to increase the security and effectiveness of ship navigation. One of the worst natural calamities that can disrupt a ship’s navigation and result in numerous safety mishaps is a typhoon. Currently, the captains manually review the collected weather data and steer clear of typhoons using their navigational expertise. The distribution of heavy winds and waves produced by the typhoon also changes dynamically as a result of the surrounding large-scale air pressure distribution, which significantly enhances the challenge of the captain’s preparation for avoiding… More >

Abstract Robotic grasping is an essential problem at both the household and industrial levels, and unstructured objects have always been difficult for grippers. Parallel-plate grippers and algorithms, focusing on partial information of objects, are one of the widely used approaches. However, most works predict single-size grasp rectangles for fixed cameras and gripper sizes. In this paper, a multi-scale grasp detector is proposed to predict grasp rectangles with different sizes on RGB-D or RGB images in real-time for hand-eye cameras and various parallel-plate grippers. The detector extracts feature maps of multiple scales and conducts predictions on each… More >

Abstract Egocentric recognition is exciting computer vision research by acquiring images and video from the first-person overview. However, an image becomes noisy and dark under low illumination conditions, making subsequent hand detection tasks difficult. Thus, image enhancement is necessary to make buried detail more visible. This article addresses the challenge of egocentric hand grasp recognition in low light conditions by utilizing the flex sensor and image enhancement algorithm based on adaptive gamma correction with weighting distribution. Initially, a flex sensor is installed to the thumb for object manipulation. The thumb placement that holds in a different More >

Abstract This paper proposes a soft tissue grasping deformation model, where BP neural network optimized by the genetic algorithm is used to realize the real-time and accurate interaction of soft tissue grasping during virtual surgery. In the model, the soft tissue epidermis is divided into meshes, and the meshes generate displacements under the action of tension. The relationship between the tension and displacement of the mesh is determined by the proposed cylindrical spiral spring model. The optimized BP neural network is trained based on the sample data of the mesh point and vertical tension, so as More >

Abstract Robotic grasping is an important issue in the field of robot control. In order to solve the problem of optimal grasping pose of the robotic arm, based on the Generative Grasping Convolutional Neural Network (GG-CNN), a new convolutional neural network called Hybrid Generative Grasping Convolutional Neural Network (HGG-CNN) is proposed by combining three small network structures called Inception Block, Dense Block and SELayer. This new type of convolutional neural network structure can improve the accuracy rate of grasping pose based on the GG-CNN network, thereby improving the success rate of grasping. In addition, the HGG-CNN More >

Abstract Mobile commerce (m-commerce) contributes to increasing the popularity of electronic commerce (e-commerce), allowing anybody to sell or buy goods using a mobile device or tablet anywhere and at any time. As demand for e-commerce increases tremendously, the pressure on delivery companies increases to organise their transportation plans to achieve profits and customer satisfaction. One important planning problem in this domain is the multi-vehicle profitable pickup and delivery problem (MVPPDP), where a selected set of pickup and delivery customers need to be served within certain allowed trip time. In this paper, we proposed hybrid clustering algorithms More >

Abstract The robot hand applying force on a deformable object will result in a changing wrench space due to the varying shape and normal of the contact area. Design and analysis of a manipulation strategy thus depend on reliable modeling of the object's deformations as actions are performed. The first part of this talk is concerned with modeling of shell-like objects grasped by a robot hand. We present a formulation of extensional, shearing, and bending strains in terms of geometric invariants including the principal curvatures and vectors, and their related directional and covariant derivatives. A computational… More >
