Point cloud based place recognition and localization for autonomous robots using deep learning by Fang, Shu

“…Localization is of paramount importance for robots such as self-driving cars and drones to achieve full autonomy, especially when GPS signals are unavailable. Most of the researchers focus on putting forward 2D-images-based place recognition and localization algorithms, few researchers pay attention to letting robots use point cloud to perform localization work, due to the difficulty of extracting point cloud's local features, which can be transformed into global descriptors. …”

Car cabin surveillance using computer vision by Soegeng, Andrew Ivan

“…Consequently, there is a need to always monitor the drivers’ attention inside the car to make sure that they are attentive enough and ready to take over when the DAS asked. As such, this research proposes a new computer vision approach of where there would be a wide-angle camera placed in the center mirror monitoring the driver and passenger and it will be connected to a computing unit inside the car which utilizes deep learning-based AI model to detect the activity of the driver and passenger and determine whether it is safe to engage level 2 DAS. …”

Characteristics of bubble rise in a liquid by Tan, Si Ying

“…The experimental results concluded that bubbles can reach terminal velocity after rising approximately 40 mm and the terminal rise velocity is highly correlated to the mean bubble width when ascending in higher viscosity fluids. Simultaneously, the trajectory and the bubble shape, in terms of aspect ratio, are observed to be highly dependent on both bubble size and fluid viscosity, which affects the components of a drag force. …”

Autonomous navigation system by Au, Yi Xian

“…Even after three decades, there are still few real-world strategies that can be used because most techniques in use are based on exaggeratedly optimistic presumptions. When using multiple robots, the agents besides steer clear of obstacles but also prevent collisions with one another, the effects of having unknowledgeable or only vaguely understood maps and states estimate drift increases dramatically [11]. …”

Between parental practices and values: children’s free will beliefs are associated with their parents' autonomy granting but not authoritarian values by Lee, Clyde Jing Yi

“…Results revealed that children’s beliefs in free will was significantly correlated with parental autonomy granting but not authoritarian values. When including both predicters and control variables in a regression model, parental autonomy granting was also found to uniquely contribute to children’s free will beliefs after controlling for children’s age, children’s gender, and parents’ gender. …”
