Multi-Objective Location and Mapping Based on Deep Learning and Visual Slam.

Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology can be used to locate and build maps in unknown environments, but the constructed maps often suffer from poor readability and interactivity, and the primary and secondary information in the map cannot be accurately grasped. For intelligent robots to interact in meaningful ways with their environment, they must understand both the geometric and semantic properties of the scene surrounding them. Our proposed method can not only reduce the absolute positional errors (APE) and improve the positioning performance of the system but also construct the object-oriented dense semantic point cloud map and output point cloud model of each object to reconstruct each object in the indoor scene.

A Tandem Robotic Arm Inverse Kinematic Solution Based on an Improved Particle Swarm Algorithm.

The analysis of robot inverse kinematic solutions is the basis of robot control and path planning, and is of great importance for research.

In order to solve the problems of poor image quality, loss of detail information and excessive brightness enhancement during image enhancement in low light environment, we propose a low-light image enhancement algorithm based on improved multi-scale Retinex and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm optimization in this paper. First of all, the algorithm makes two copies of the original image, afterwards, the irradiation component of the original image is obtained by used the structure extraction from texture via relative total variation for the first image, and combines it with the multi-scale Retinex algorithm to obtain the reflection component of the original image, which are simultaneously enhanced using histogram equalization, bilateral gamma function correction and bilateral filtering. In the next part, the second image is enhanced by histogram equalization and edge-preserving with Weighted Guided Image Filtering (WGIF).

Generalized model for conic-V-shaped flexure hinges.

This paper presents a new class of flexure hinges, namely, conic-V-shaped flexure hinges (CFHs), which can be used as a generalized model for flexure hinges with profiles such as parabolic-V-shape, elliptical-V-shape, and hyperbolic-V-shape.
