Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) ist aus der heutigen Gesellschaft kaum noch wegzudenken. Auch im Sport haben Methoden der KI in den letzten Jahren mehr und mehr Einzug gehalten. Ob und inwieweit dabei allerdings die derzeitigen Potenziale der KI tatsächlich ausgeschöpft werden, ist bislang nicht untersucht worden. Der Nutzen von Methoden der KI im Sport ist unbestritten, jedoch treten bei der Umsetzung in die Praxis gravierende Probleme auf, was den Zugang zu Ressourcen, die Verfügbarkeit von Experten und den Umgang mit den Methoden und Daten betrifft. Die Ursache für die, verglichen mit anderen Anwendungsgebieten, langsame An- bzw. Übernahme von Methoden der KI in den Spitzensport ist nach Hypothese des Autorenteams auf mehrere Mismatches zwischen dem Anwendungsfeld und den KI-Methoden zurückzuführen. Diese Mismatches sind methodischer, struktureller und auch kommunikativer Art. In der vorliegenden Expertise werden Vorschläge abgeleitet, die zur Auflösung der Mismatches führen können und zugleich neue Transfer- und Synergiemöglichkeiten aufzeigen. Außerdem wurden drei Use Cases zu Trainingssteuerung, Leistungsdiagnostik und Wettkampfdiagnostik exemplarisch umgesetzt. Dies erfolgte in Form entsprechender Projektbeschreibungen. Dabei zeigt die Ausarbeitung, auf welche Art und Weise Probleme, die heute noch bei der Verbindung zwischen KI und Sport bestehen, möglichst ausgeräumt werden können. Eine empirische Umsetzung des Use Case Trainingssteuerung erfolgte im Radsport, weshalb dieser ausführlicher dargestellt wird.
Short summary
Accompanying dataset for our paper
A. Mitrevski, P. G. Plöger, and G. Lakemeyer, "Robot Action Diagnosis and Experience Correction by Falsifying Parameterised Execution Models," in Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2021.
Contents
The dataset includes a single zip archive, containing data from the experiment described in the paper (conducted with a Toyota HSR). The zip archive contains three subdirectories:
handle_grasping_failure_database: A dump of a MongoDB database containing data from the handle grasping experiment, including ground-truth grasping failure annotations
pre_arm_motion_images: Images collected from the robot's hand camera before moving the robot's hand towards the handle
pregrasp_images: Images collected from the robot's hand camera just before closing the gripper for grasping
The image names include the time stamp at which the images were taken; this allows matching each image with the execution data in the database.
Database usage
After unzipping the archive, the database can be restored with the command
mongorestore handle_grasping_failure_database
This will create a MongoDB database with the name drawer_handle_grasping_failures.
Code for processing the data and failure analysis can be found in our <a href="https://github.com/alex-mitrevski/explainable-robot-execution-models">GitHub repository.
The dataset contains the following data from successful and failed executions of the Toyota HSR robot placing a book on a shelf.
RGB images from the robot's head camera
Depth images from the robot's head camera
Rendered images of the robot's 3D model from the point of view of the robot's head camera
Force-torque readings from a wrist-mounted force-torque sensor
Joint efforts, velocities and positions
extrinsic and intrinsic camera calibration parameters
frame-level anomaly annotations
The anomalies that occur during execution include:
the manipulated book falling down
books on the shelf being disturbed significantly
camera occlusions
robot being disturbed by an external collision
The dataset is split into a train, validation and test set with the following number of trials:
Train: 48 successful trials
Validation: 6 successful trials
Test: 60 anomalous trials and 7 successful trials
Contents
There are two zip archives included (grasping.zip and throwing.zip), corresponding to two experiments (grasping objects and throwing them in a drawer), both performed with a Toyota HSR. Each archive contains two directories - learning and generalisation - with object-specific learning and generalisation data. For each object, we provide a dump of a MongoDB database, which contains data sufficient for learning the models used in our experiments.
Usage
After unzipping the archives, each database can be restored with the command
mongorestore [data_directory_name]
This will create a MongoDB database with the name of the directory. Code for processing the data and model learning can be found in our <a href="https://github.com/alex-mitrevski/explainable-robot-execution-models">GitHub repository.
Ice accumulation in the blades of wind turbines can cause them to describe anomalous rotations or no rotations at all, thus affecting the generation of electricity and power output. In this work, we investigate the problem of ice accumulation in wind turbines by framing it as anomaly detection of multi-variate time series. Our approach focuses on two main parts: first, learning low-dimensional representations of time series using a Variational Recurrent Autoencoder (VRAE), and second, using unsupervised clustering algorithms to classify the learned representations as normal (no ice accumulated) or abnormal (ice accumulated). We have evaluated our approach on a custom wind turbine time series dataset, for the two-classes problem (one normal versus one abnormal class), we obtained a classification accuracy of up to 96$\%$ on test data. For the multiple-class problem (one normal versus multiple abnormal classes), we present a qualitative analysis of the low-dimensional learned latent space, providing insights into the capacities of our approach to tackle such problem. The code to reproduce this work can be found here https://github.com/agrija9/Wind-Turbines-VRAE-Paper.
Machine learning and neural networks are now ubiquitous in sonar perception, but it lags behind the computer vision field due to the lack of data and pre-trained models specifically for sonar images. In this paper we present the Marine Debris Turntable dataset and produce pre-trained neural networks trained on this dataset, meant to fill the gap of missing pre-trained models for sonar images. We train Resnet 20, MobileNets, DenseNet121, SqueezeNet, MiniXception, and an Autoencoder, over several input image sizes, from 32 x 32 to 96 x 96, on the Marine Debris turntable dataset. We evaluate these models using transfer learning for low-shot classification in the Marine Debris Watertank and another dataset captured using a Gemini 720i sonar. Our results show that in both datasets the pre-trained models produce good features that allow good classification accuracy with low samples (10-30 samples per class). The Gemini dataset validates that the features transfer to other kinds of sonar sensors. We expect that the community benefits from the public release of our pre-trained models and the turntable dataset.
In Robot-Assisted Therapy for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, the therapists’ workload is increased due to the necessity of controlling the robot manually. The solution for this problem is to increase the level of autonomy of the system, namely the robot should interpret and adapt to the behaviour of the child under therapy. The problem that we are adressing is to develop a behaviour model that will be used for the robot decision-making process, which will learn how to adequately react to certain child reactions. We propose the use of the reinforcement learning technique for this task, where feedback for learning is obtained from the therapist’s evaluation of a robot’s behaviour.
In this thesis it is posed that the central object of preference discovery is a co-creative process in which the Other can be represented by a machine. It explores efficient methods to enhance introverted intuition using extraverted intuition's communication lines. Possible implementations of such processes are presented using novel algorithms that perform divergent search to feed the users' intuition with many examples of high quality solutions, allowing them to take influence interactively. The machine feeds and reflects upon human intuition, combining both what is possible and preferred. The machine model and the divergent optimization algorithms are the motor behind this co-creative process, in which machine and users co-create and interactively choose branches of an ad hoc hierarchical decomposition of the solution space.
The proposed co-creative process consists of several elements: a formal model for interactive co-creative processes, evolutionary divergent search, diversity and similarity, data-driven methods to discover diversity, limitations of artificial creative agents, matters of efficiency in behavioral and morphological modeling, visualization, a connection to prototype theory, and methods to allow users to influence artificial creative agents. This thesis helps putting the human back into the design loop in generative AI and optimization.

It has been well proved that deep networks are efficient at extracting features from a given (source) labeled dataset. However, it is not always the case that they can generalize well to other (target) datasets which very often have a different underlying distribution. In this report, we evaluate four different domain adaptation techniques for image classification tasks: DeepCORAL, DeepDomainConfusion, CDAN and CDAN+E. These techniques are unsupervised given that the target dataset dopes not carry any labels during training phase. We evaluate model performance on the office-31 dataset. A link to the github repository of this report can be found here: https://github.com/agrija9/Deep-Unsupervised-Domain-Adaptation.
Urban LoRa networks promise to provide a cost-efficient and scalable communication backbone for smart cities. One core challenge in rolling out and operating these networks is radio network planning, i.e., precise predictions about possible new locations and their impact on network coverage. Path loss models aid in this task, but evaluating and comparing different models requires a sufficiently large set of high-quality received packet power samples. In this paper, we report on a corresponding large-scale measurement study covering an urban area of 200km2 over a period of 230 days using sensors deployed on garbage trucks, resulting in more than 112 thousand high-quality samples for received packet power. Using this data, we compare eleven previously proposed path loss models and additionally provide new coefficients for the Log-distance model. Our results reveal that the Log-distance model and other well-known empirical models such as Okumura or Winner+ provide reasonable estimations in an urban environment, and terrain based models such as ITM or ITWOM have no advantages. In addition, we derive estimations for the needed sample size in similar measurement campaigns. To stimulate further research in this direction, we make all our data publicly available.
Designs for decorative surfaces, such as flooring, must cover several square meters to avoid visible repeats. While the use of desktop systems is feasible to support the designer, it is challenging for a non-domain expert to get the right impression of the appearances of surfaces due to limited display sizes and a potentially unnatural interaction with digital designs. At the same time, large-format editing of structure and gloss is becoming increasingly important. Advances in the printing industry allow for more faithful reproduction of such surface details. Unfortunately, existing systems for visualizing surface designs cannot adequately account for gloss, especially for non-domain experts. Here, the complex interaction of light sources and the camera position must be controlled using software controls. As a result, only small parts of the data set can be properly inspected at a time. Also, real-world lighting is not considered here. This work presents a system for the processing and realistic visualization of large decorative surface designs. To this end, we present a tabletop solution that is coupled to a live 360° video feed and a spatial tracking system. This allows for reproducing natural view-dependent effects like real-world reflections, live image-based lighting, and the interaction with the design using virtual light sources employing natural interaction techniques that allow for a more accurate inspection even for non-domain experts.
