The human in the loop Perspectives and challenges for RoboCup 2050

Robotics researchers have been focusing on developing autonomous and human-like intelligent robots that are able to plan, navigate, manipulate objects, and interact with humans in both static and dynamic environments. These capabilities, however, are usually developed for direct interactions with people in controlled environments, and evaluated primarily in terms of human safety. Consequently, human-robot interaction (HRI) in scenarios with no intervention of technical personnel is under-explored. However, in the future, robots will be deployed in unstructured and unsupervised environments where they will be expected to work unsupervised on tasks which require direct interaction with humans and may not necessarily be collaborative. Developing such robots requires comparing the effectiveness and efficiency of similar design approaches and techniques. Yet, issues regarding the reproducibility of results, comparing different approaches between research groups, and creating challenging milestones to measure performance and development over time make this difficult. Here we discuss the international robotics competition called RoboCup as a benchmark for the progress and open challenges in AI and robotics development. The long term goal of RoboCup is developing a robot soccer team that can win against the world’s best human soccer team by 2050. We selected RoboCup because it requires robots to be able to play with and against humans in unstructured environments, such as uneven fields and natural lighting conditions, and it challenges the known accepted dynamics in HRI. Considering the current state of robotics technology, RoboCup’s goal opens up several open research questions to be addressed by roboticists. In this paper, we (a) summarise the current challenges in robotics by using RoboCup development as an evaluation metric, (b) discuss the state-of-the-art approaches to these challenges and how they currently apply to RoboCup, and (c) present a path for future development in the given areas to meet RoboCup’s goal of having robots play soccer against and with humans by 2050.</p

Bessere Synchrotron Magnete durch simulationsbasierte Optimierung

Während die numerische Optimierung von kontinuierlichen Parametern supraleitender Magnete basierend auf elektromagnetischen Feldsimulationen trotz hoher Rechenzeitanforderungen schon fast alltäglich ist, stellt die für ein optimales Design notwendige, simultane Berücksichtigung auch diskreter Parameter und der damit verbundene, hohe zusätzliche Rechenaufwand enorme Schwierigkeiten dar. Eine neue, methodische Vorgehensweise zu deren Überwindung wird vorgestellt und zur Entwicklung von besonders leistungsfähigen, supraleitenden Magneten für das neue internationale Beschleunigerzentrum FAIR erfolgreich angewendet

Preprint of a manuscript submitted to: IEEE Transactions on Magnetics 1 Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Design Optimization of a Superconductive Magnet with Surrogate Functions

Abstract—The numerical optimization of continuous parameters in electrotechnical design using electromagnetic field simulation is already standard. When integer-valued variables are involved, the complexity of the optimization problem rises drastically. In this paper, we describe a new sequential surrogate optimization approach for simulation-based mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. We apply the method for the optimization of combined integer- and real-valued geometrical parameters of the coils of a superconductive magnet. I
