Abstract Recent advancements in autonomous vehicle technologies are transforming intelligent transportation systems. Artificial intelligence enables real-time sensing, decision-making, and control on embedded platforms with improved efficiency. This study presents the design and implementation of an autonomous radio-controlled (RC) vehicle prototype capable of lane line detection, obstacle avoidance, and navigation through dynamic path planning. The system integrates image processing and ultrasonic sensing, utilizing Raspberry Pi for vision-based tasks and Arduino Nano for real-time control. Lane line detection is achieved through conventional image processing techniques, providing the basis for local path generation, while traffic sign classification employs a… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Precise and robust three-dimensional object detection (3DOD) presents a promising opportunity in the field of mobile robot (MR) navigation. Monocular 3DOD techniques typically involve extending existing two-dimensional object detection (2DOD) frameworks to predict the three-dimensional bounding box (3DBB) of objects captured in 2D RGB images. However, these methods often require multiple images, making them less feasible for various real-time scenarios. To address these challenges, the emergence of agile convolutional neural networks (CNNs) capable of inferring depth from a single image opens a new avenue for investigation. The paper proposes a novel ELDE-Net network designed to… More >

Abstract Robot navigation in complex crowd service scenarios, such as medical logistics and commercial guidance, requires a dynamic balance between safety and efficiency, while the traditional fixed reward mechanism lacks environmental adaptability and struggles to adapt to the variability of crowd density and pedestrian motion patterns. This paper proposes a navigation method that integrates spatiotemporal risk field modeling and adaptive reward optimization, aiming to improve the robot’s decision-making ability in diverse crowd scenarios through dynamic risk assessment and nonlinear weight adjustment. We construct a spatiotemporal risk field model based on a Gaussian kernel function by combining… More >

Abstract Due to the necessity for lightweight and efficient network models, deploying semantic segmentation models on mobile robots (MRs) is a formidable task. The fundamental limitation of the problem lies in the training performance, the ability to effectively exploit the dataset, and the ability to adapt to complex environments when deploying the model. By utilizing the knowledge distillation techniques, the article strives to overcome the above challenges with the inheritance of the advantages of both the teacher model and the student model. More precisely, the ResNet152-PSP-Net model’s characteristics are utilized to train the ResNet18-PSP-Net model. Pyramid… More >
