- Photodetectors are critical parts of an optical communication system for achieving efficient photoelectronic conversion of signals, and the response speed directly determines the bandwidth of the whole system. Metal halide perovskites, an emerging class of low-cost solution-processed semiconductors, exhibiting strong optical absorption, low trap states, and high carrier mobility, are widely investigated in photodetection applications. Herein, through optimizing the device engineering and film quality, high-performance photodetectors based on all-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite (CsPbIxBr3-x), which simultaneously possess high sensitivity and fast response, are demonstrated. The optimized devices processed from CsPbIBr2 perovskite show a practically measured detectable limit of about 21.5 pW cm(-2) and a fast response time of 20 ns, which are both among the highest reported device performance of perovskite-based photodetectors. Moreover, the photodetectors exhibit outstanding long-term environmental stability, with negligible degradation of the photoresponse property after 2000 h under ambient conditions. In addition, the resulting perovskite photodetector is successfully integrated into an optical communication system and its applications as an optical signal receiver on transmitting text and audio signals is demonstrated. The results suggest that all-inorganic metal halide perovskite-based photodetectors have great application potential for optical communication.

- With the fourth revolution of healthcare, i.e., Healthcare 4.0, collaborative robotics is spilling out from traditional manufacturing and will blend into human living or working environments to deliver care services, especially telehealthcare. Because of the frequent and seamless interaction between robots and care recipients, it poses several challenges that require careful consideration: 1) the ability of the human to collaborate with the robots in a natural manner; and 2) the safety of the human collaborating with the robot. In this regard, we have proposed a proximity sensing solution based on the self-capacitive technology to provide an extended sense of touch for collaborative robots, allowing approach and contact measurement to enhance safe and natural human-robot collaboration. The modular design of our solution enables it to scale up to form a large-area sensing system. The sensing solution is proposed to work in two operation modes: the interaction mode and the safety mode. In the interaction mode, utilizing the ability of the sensor to localize the point of action, gesture command is used for robot manipulation. In the safety mode, the sensor enables the robot to actively avoid obstacles.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As many robot applications become more reliant on wireless communications, wireless network latency and reliability have a growing impact on robot control. This article proposes a network hardware-in-the-loop (N-HiL) simulation framework to evaluate the impacts of wireless on robot control more efficiently and accurately, and then improve the design by employing correlation analysis between communication and control performances. The N-HiL method provides communication and robot developers with more trustworthy network conditions, while the huge efforts and costs of building and testing the entire physical robot system in real life are eliminated. These benefits are showcased in two representative latency-sensitive applications: 1) safe multirobot coordination for mobile robots, and 2) human-motion-based teleoperation for manipulators. Moreover, we deliver a preliminary assessment of two new-generation wireless technologies, the Wi-Fi6 and 5G, for those applications, which has demonstrated the effectiveness of the N-HiL method as well as the attractiveness of the wireless technologies.

Towards Intercontinental Teleoperation : A Cloud-Based Framework for Ultra-Remote Human-Robot Dual-Arm Motion Mapping
- 2023

Ingår i: Intelligent Robotics and Applications. - : Springer Nature. ; , s. 132-144

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Teleoperated robots offer a unique combination of robotic strength and precision, coupled with human judgment and ingenuity, to enhance productivity and safety in complex, unstructured, and hazardous industrial environments. However, teleoperation over ultra-remote distances has posed a significant challenge, with control performance being compromised by the inherent trade-off between distance and latency. This study presents a novel cloud-based human-robot motion mapping framework for ultra-remote teleoperation. An intuitive dual-arm human-robot motion mapping framework based on capturing human motion has been implemented, and private network connectivity is established using the Google Cloud platform for the efficient transfer of control data required for human-robot motion mapping. Moreover, a novel feedforward control framework is proposed to mitigate the negative impact of high network latency on teleoperation control performance. To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach, an intercontinental teleoperation system between China and Sweden was developed, and a series of practical applications were demonstrated by capturing the motion of an operator in Sweden to control the dual-arm robot located over 7800 km away in China. The proposed feedforward control framework for intercontinental teleoperation has the potential utility for improving human-robot interaction performance in ultra-remote teleoperation scenarios with high network latency.

GuLiM : A Hybrid Motion Mapping Technique for Teleoperation of Medical Assistive Robot in Combating the COVID-19 Pandemic
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Driven by the demand to largely mitigate nosocomial infection problems in combating the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the trend of developing technologies for teleoperation of medical assistive robots is emerging. However, traditional teleoperation of robots requires professional training and sophisticated manipulation, imposing a burden on healthcare workers, taking a long time to deploy, and conflicting the urgent demand for a timely and effective response to the pandemic. This paper presents a novel motion synchronization method enabled by the hybrid mapping technique of hand gesture and upper-limb motion (GuLiM). It tackles a limitation that the existing motion mapping scheme has to be customized according to the kinematic configuration of operators. The operator awakes the robot from any initial pose state without extra calibration procedure, thereby reducing operational complexity and relieving unnecessary pre-training, making it user-friendly for healthcare workers to master teleoperation skills. Experimenting with robotic grasping tasks verifies the outperformance of the proposed GuLiM method compared with the traditional direct mapping method. Moreover, a field investigation of GuLiM illustrates its potential for the teleoperation of medical assistive robots in the isolation ward as the Second Body of healthcare workers for telehealthcare, avoiding exposure of healthcare workers to the COVID-19.

- More and more robot automation applications have changed to wireless communication, and network performance has a growing impact on robotic systems. This study proposes a hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) simulation methodology for connecting the simulated robot platform to real network devices. This project seeks to provide robotic engineers and researchers with the capability to experiment without heavily modifying the original controller and get more realistic test results that correlate with actual network conditions. We deployed this HiL simulation system in two common cases for wireless-network-controlled robotic applications: (1) safe multi-robot coordination for mobile robots, and (2) human-motion-based teleoperation for manipulators. The HiL simulation system is deployed and tested under various network conditions in all circumstances. The experiment results are analyzed and compared with the previous simulation methods, demonstrating that the proposed HiL simulation methodology can identify a more reliable communication impact on robot systems.

- Channel State Information (CSI)-based Physical Layer Authentication (PLA) is typically a promising strategy for wireless security. However, existing algorithms fail to transfer across various scenarios and immunize against attacks forging CSI. To improve the transferability and immunity of PLA, we propose a PLA enhancement framework to analyze, enhance, and assess authentication. Firstly, we provide a theoretical analysis method to discover the factors affecting the transferability and immunity of PLA. Secondly, inspired by the above discovery, an enhanced PLA algorithm is developed based on the channel time-varying pattern. Finally, we theoretically assess the scenario transferability and provide a closed-form expression for the bypassing condition of authentication. Furthermore, experimental results validate the practical applicability of our theoretical insights.

Min-Max Probe Placement and Extended Relaxation Estimation Method for Processing Blade Tip Timing Signals
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Measuring blade displacement using blade tip timing (BTT) enables nonintrusive monitoring of rotating blades and their vibration frequencies. The average sampling frequency of BTT is the product of the number of measurement probes and rotational frequency, which is usually far less than the blade natural frequency due to the limited number of probes. The pattern of the aliasing that arises from under-sampling is rather complex under uneven probe placement. In this article, we consider a probe placement design that is based on minimizing the maximum sidelobe level of the spectral window to suppress the aliasing frequencies in the spectrum. Based on a signal model containing both asynchronous and synchronous sinusoids, we then develop an extended version of the RELAX method (ERELAX) to estimate their parameters simultaneously. Model order selection rules are also used to determine the number of asynchronous sinusoids. The frequency ambiguity that arises from periodic nonuniform sampling (PNS) is also discussed based on the convolution in the frequency domain. Numerical simulations and results of a curved-blade experiment show that the proposed method has a mean squared estimation error less than 25% of that of two state-of-the-art methods (Block-OMP and MUSIC), requires 40% of the data length needed by the latter methods to achieve the same estimation accuracy, and has the smallest standard deviation of the reconstruction errors. Simulation codes are available at https://github.com/superjdg/RELAX_BTT.

- In-home healthcare services based on the Internet-of-Things (IoT) have great business potential; however, a comprehensive platform is still missing. In this paper, an intelligent home-based platform, the iHome Health-IoT, is proposed and implemented. In particular, the platform involves an open-platform-based intelligent medicine box (iMedBox) with enhanced connectivity and interchangeability for the integration of devices and services; intelligent pharmaceutical packaging (iMedPack) with communication capability enabled by passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) and actuation capability enabled by functional materials; and a flexible and wearable bio-medical sensor device (Bio-Patch) enabled by the state-of-the-art inkjet printing technology and system-on-chip. The proposed platform seamlessly fuses IoT devices (e. g., wearable sensors and intelligent medicine packages) with in-home healthcare services (e. g., telemedicine) for an improved user experience and service efficiency. The feasibility of the implemented iHome Health-IoT platform has been proven in field trials.
