In the past decade, Autonomous Vehicle Systems (AVS) have advanced at an exponential rate, particularly due to improvements in artificial intelligence, which have had a significant impact on social as well as road safety and the future of transportation systems. The fusion of light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and camera data in real-time is known to be a crucial process in many applications, such as in autonomous driving, industrial automation and robotics. Especially in the case of autonomous vehicles, the efficient fusion of data from these two types of sensors is important to enabling the depth of objects as well as the classification of objects at short and long distances. This paper presents classification of objects using CNN based vision and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) fusion in autonomous vehicles in the environment. This method is based on convolutional neural network (CNN) and image up sampling theory. By creating a point cloud of LIDAR data up sampling and converting into pixel-level depth information, depth information is connected with Red Green Blue data and fed into a deep CNN. The proposed method can obtain informative feature representation for object classification in autonomous vehicle environment using the integrated vision and LIDAR data. This method is adopted to guarantee both object classification accuracy and minimal loss. Experimental results show the effectiveness and efficiency of presented approach for objects classification.

This paper addresses that the autonomous mobile robot with the function of teaching a moving path by speech and avoiding a collision is developed. The use of human speech as the teaching method provides more convenient user-interface for a mobile robot. In speech recognition system a speech recognition algorithm using neural is proposed to recognize Korean syllable. For the safe navigation the autonomous mobile robot needs abilities to recognize a surrounding environment and to avoid collision with obstacles. To obtain the distance from the mobile robot to the various obstacles in surrounding environment ultrasonic sensors is used. By the navigation algorithm the robot forecasts the collision possibility with obstacles and modifies a moving path if it detects a dangerous obstacle.

Technological advances are bringing autonomous vehicles to the ever-evolving transportation system. Anticipating adoption of these technologies by users is essential to vehicle manufacturers for making more precise production and marketing strategies. The research investigates regulatory focus and consumer innovativeness with consumers' adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs) and to consumers' subsequent willingness to pay for AVs. An online questionnaire was fielded to confirm predictions, and regression analysis was conducted to verify the model's validity. The results show that a promotion focus does not have a significantly positive effect on the automation level at which consumers will adopt AVs, but a prevention focus has a significantly positive effect on conditional AV adoption. Consumer innovativeness, consumers' novelty-seeking have a significantly positive relationship with high and full AV adoption, and consumers' independent decision-making has a significantly positive effect on full AV adoption. The higher the level of automation at which a consumer adopts AVs, the higher the willingness to pay for them. Finally, using a neural network and decision tree analyses, we show methods with which to describe three categories for potential adopters of AVs.

본 논문은 자율주행을 위한 실시간 의미론적 분할 방법으로 최적화된 심층 신경망 구조인 Wide Inception ResNet (WIR Net)을 제안한다. 신경망 구조는 Residual connection과 Inception module을 적용하여 특징을 추출하는 인코더와 Transposed convolution과 낮은 층의 특징 맵을 사용하여 해상도를 높이는 디코더로 구성하였고 ELU 활성화 함수를 적용함으로써 성능을 올렸다. 또한 신경망의 전체 층수를 줄이고 필터 수를 늘리는 방법을 통해 성능을 최적화하였다. 성능평가는 NVIDIA Geforce gtx 1080과 TX1 보드를 사용하여 주행환경의 Cityscapes 데이터에 대해 클래스와 카테고리별 IoU를 평가하였다. 실험 결과를 통해 클래스 IoU 53.4, 카테고리 IoU 81.8의 정확도와 TX1 보드에서 $640{\times}360$, $720{\times}480$ 해상도 영상처리에 17.8fps, 13.0fps의 실행속도를 보여주는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper is concerned with designing a neural network based navigator that is optimized in a user-defined sense for a mobile robot using ultrasonic sensors to travel to a goal position safely and efficiently without any prior map of the environment. The neural network has a dynamically reconfigurable structure that not only can optimize the weights but also the input sensory connectivity in order to meet any user-defined objective. Therefore, in this research, we can select an optimal subset of sensory inputs that results in the best performance related to both navigation and structural complexity. Further, this research uses the manually trained initial population and the modular neural network to alleviate ...

This paper presents a neural net based nonlinear adaptive controller for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). AUV's dynamics are highly nonlinear and their hydrodynamic coefficients vary with different operational conditions, so it is necessary for the high performance control system of an AUV to have the capacities of learning and adapting to the change of the AUV's dynamics. In this paper a linearly parameterized neural network is used to approximate the uncertainties of the AUV's dynamics, and a sliding mode control is introduced to attenuate the effects of the neural network's reconstruction errors and the disturbances of AUV's dynamics. The presented controller is consist of three parallel schemes; linear feedback control, sliding mode control and neural network. Lyapunov theory is used to guarantee the asymptotic convergence of trajectory tracking errors and the neural network's weights errors. Numerical simulations for motion control of an AUV are performed to illustrate to effectiveness of the proposed techniques.

A major research issue associated with service robots is the creation of an environment recognition system for mobile robot navigation that is robust and efficient on various environment situations. In recent years, intelligent autonomous mobile robots have received much attention as the types of service robots for serving people and industrial robots for replacing human. To help people, robots must be able to sense and recognize three dimensional space where they live or work. In this paper, we propose a three dimensional environmental modeling method based on an edge enhancement technique using a planar fitting method and a neural network technique called "Growing Neural Gas Network." Input data pre-processing provides probabilistic density to the input data of the neural network, and the neural network generates a graphical structure that reflects the topology of the input space. Using these methods, robot's surroundings are autonomously clustered into isolated objects and modeled as polygon patches with the user-selected resolution. Through a series of simulations and experiments, the proposed method is tested to recognize the environments surrounding the robot. From the experimental results, the usefulness and robustness of the proposed method are investigated and discussed in detail.in detail.
