    Researchers from School of Mechanical Engineering Report Recent Findings in Robo tics (Path Optimization in Robotic Welding of Plate Heat Exchangers: An Improved Ant Colony Approach)

    165-166页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News-Research findings on robotics are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting originating from the School of Mechanica l Engineering by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "In industrial robotwe lding heat exchanger plate route planning, there are drawbacks to using the trad itional ant colonyalgorithm (ACA), including poor search efficiency and a prope nsity to trend toward the local optimum."Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from School of Mechanical En gineering: "Toaddress the above issues, first of all, the article introduces th e improved pheromone volatilization factor,which is adjustable based on iterati on times in the ACA. Secondly, it combines the new perturbationstrategy and the cross-mutation operation, proposes an improved genetic algorithm, and fuses it into theACA, which increases the diversity of the ACA's path searching and impr oves the ability of the localand global search. Finally, the improved ACA mecha nism is verified by experiments and compared withsix existing path planning alg orithms (including three ACA variant algorithms and three mainstreamalgorithms) ."

    Recent Studies from University of Freiburg Add New Data to Robotics (Automatic T arget-less Camera-lidar Calibration From Motion and Deep Point Correspondences)

According to news reporting originatingfrom Freiburg, Germany, by NewsRx cor respondents, research stated, "Sensor setups of robotic platformscommonly inclu de both camera and LiDAR as they provide complementary information. However, fus ingthese two modalities typically requires a highly accurate calibration betwee n them."Financial supporters for this research include German Research Foundation (DFG), Nvidia Corporation.Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Freib urg, "In this letter,we propose MDPCalib which is a novel method for camera-LiD AR calibration that requires neither humansupervision nor any specific target o bjects. Instead, we utilize sensor motion estimates from visual andLiDAR odomet ry as well as deep learning-based 2D-pixel-to-3D-point correspondences that are obtainedwithout in-domain retraining. We represent camera-LiDAR calibration as an optimization problem andminimize the costs induced by constraints from senso r motion and point correspondences. In extensiveexperiments, we demonstrate tha t our approach yields highly accurate extrinsic calibration parameters andis ro bust to random initialization."

In such collaborative workplaces, it must be ensur ed thatthe persons involved are not injured by colliding with the robot. This a pplies in particular if the robotmoves screws at its end effector, which can ca use serious injuries due to the typical screw geometry witha small-area tip and the forces caused by the robot.

In particular, percutaneous interventional techniques are typicallyshort in duration, requiring quick set-up and tear down to ensure minimal impact to m edical workflow orprocess while maintaining a sterile field. As a result, requi ring reprocessing or sterilization of componentsto establish a sterile field is not tenable, and instead it is more appropriate to use inexpensive sterile disposables. This paradigm allows for quick set up and tear down of sterile equipmen t through a sterilizeddisposable pack.
