Magnetic compression anastomosis (MCA) offers a promising solution for minimally invasive anastomosis surgery. However, current MCA schemes lack safe, real-time localization, and guidance for compression magnets, hindering surgeons’ ability to control the compression magnets effectively in complex, …
Recent advances in cross-view geo-localization (CVGL) methods have shown strong potential for supporting unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation in GNSS-denied environments. However, existing work predominantly focuses on matching UAV views to onboard map tiles, which introduces an inherent trade-o
3D object detection is one of the fundamental perception tasks for autonomous vehicles. Fulfilling such a task with a 4D millimeter-wave radar is very attractive since the sensor is able to acquire 3D point clouds similar to Lidar while maintaining robust measurements under adverse weather. However,…
Reverse engineering involves analyzing the design, architecture, and functionality of systems, and is crucial for legacy systems. Legacy systems are outdated software systems that are still in use and often lack proper documentation, which makes their maintenance and evolution challenging. To addres…
In the era of large language models like Chatgpt, maintaining academic integrity in programming education has become challenging due to potential misuse. There's a pressing need for reliable detectors to identify Chatgpt-generated code. While previous studies have tackled model-generated text detect…
The docking mechanism is critical for unmanned surface vehicle (USV) applications, such as traction, dragging, charging, data transmission, building pontoons, etc. These applications are significant for observation, exploration, data acquisition, patrol, rescuing, etc., in aquatic environments. In t
Crowdsourcing is a popular method for crowd workers to collaborate on tasks. However, workers coordinate and share answers during the crowdsourcing process. The term for this is "collusion". Copies from others and repeated submissions are detrimental to the quality of the assignments. The majority o…
In this paper, a new capture system for UAV precision landing in a disturbed environment is proposed. Compared with the traditional visual guided landing methods, perching mechanism based methods, and tethered landing methods, the proposed system takes into account the stability during landing proce…
In the process of landing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) on an unmanned surface vehicle (USV), a manipulator can be applied to help the UAV land safely and accurately. However, it is a challenge to control the manipulator on a disturbed USV due to joint velocity constraints and bandwidth limitation…
Traditional solar trackers often adopt motors to automatically adjust the attitude of the solar panels towards the sun for maximum power efficiency. In this paper, a novel design of solar tracker for the ocean environment is introduced. Utilizing the fluctuations due to the waves, electromagnetic br…
Automatic latching for charging in a disturbed environment for Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USVs) is always a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a two-stage automatic latching system for USVs charging in berth. In Stage I, a vision-guided algorithm is developed to calculate an optimal latch…
