Severe appearance changes represent a pervasive and intricate challenge within Visual Place Recognition (VPR) tasks, and the current best solution adopts a composite strategy encompassing global retrieval and reranking. However, these reranking techniques necessitate sophisticated considerations to extract and match local features, which leads to a notable escalation of computational resource dema...Show More
In an indoor fire, the robot inspection process is impossible. The development of the robot and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology provides a new solution for indoor fire identification by a robot. Using IoT technology and inspection robots, we designed a point identification system for an indoor fire to improve the safety and application of the robot inspection. In the system, temperature, s...Show More
This paper presents a lobster-inspired design of a soft finger's contact surface for grasping with enhanced robustness. The lobsters, while living on the seabed with sediments of various sizes, sources, materials, and life forms, exhibit exceptional capabilities in object manipulation under-water using angled-claws with two fingers. By inspecting the geometric features of the lobster tooth, we pro...Show More
