El florecimiento como fin de la educación del carácter
Authors:   Universidad de Navarra, Bernal Martínez de Soria Aurora , Naval Concepción ,   Universidad de Navarra
Published: February 2023

Human flourishing is a term that relates to the full development of people and societies, something we all long for, especially in times of crisis. It is widely accepted that education is an indispensable resource to promote human flourishing. The main aim of this article is to investigate whether human flourishing can be considered as the aim of character education in the virtues development approach. Publications on the subject of flourishing have proliferated in recent years. For this study we select ones that link flourishing and the aim of moral education from the perspective of the philosophy and theory of education, developed in the Anglo-American field. Assertions by David Carr (2021) and Kristján Kristjánsson (2020) on the subject of flourishing and character education provide a starting point and guide for the discussion that mainly revolves around the following questions. What notion of flourishing can be theoretically sustained as an educational goal? Why is character education not considered sufficient to promote flourishing? Why is it not considered necessary either? We conclude by underlining the value of educational theory based on a realistic view of flourishing as an attainable aim of character education. Some essential components of flourishing and moral education are absent from the theories reviewed.

This paper presents a systematic review of scientific articles on friendship and character education (CE) published between 2007 and 2021. It seeks to identify the dominant theo- ries from which CE is approached, how friend- ship is understood in the studies, and what specific relationship is built between friend- ship and character; in other words, the extent to which it is posited that friendship can be harnessed to acquire virtues. Results indicate a prevalence of a psychological approach to CE, linked to an instrumentalist perspective on friendship, which associates it with certain benefits. However, this approach is closely followed by a philosophical–moral view that understands friendship as a good in itself and, consequently, highlights its humanizing potential. The Aristotelian framework for un- derstanding friendship and character stands out within this approach. The relationship be- tween friendship and character in the selected articles is explored through 5 categories that emerged in the analysis: 1) friendship for char- acter; 2) character for friendship; 3) friendship and transgressions; 4) teachers’ and students’ perceptions of the influence of friendship; and 5) analysis of programmes that include friendship in the curriculum.

Published: February 2023

This paper describes the procedures and operational aspects related to the proper storage and handling of taxonomic, biogeographic and ecological data of biological specimens digitised under the AMUNATCOLL project. In the introductory phase of this process, the definition of the metadata is carried out, which is the formal handler of the structure, based upon the analysis of existing standards. The set of parameters derived from the standard is extended by data that is important according to the point of view of the specificity and functionality of the developed system. Subsequently, the database, as a key element in many IT systems, must be set up for data storage along with the suitable structure that reinforces efficiency. The process of preparing and casting a large amount of data requires automated procedures with dedicated tools attached. These approaches address a variety of processes starting from data preparation, where occasionally conversion must occur, aggregation and finally validation, which guarantees that data apply defined rules. Above all, dedicated operational procedures must be defined and applied to enable proper handling of the entire process.

Published: February 2023

Floods can cause significant problems for humans and can damage the economy. Implementing a reliable flood monitoring warning system in risk areas can help to reduce the negative impacts of these natural disasters. Artificial intelligence algorithms and statistical approaches are employed by researchers to enhance flood forecasting. In this study, a dataset was created using unique features measured by sensors along the Hunza River in Pakistan over the past 31 years. The dataset was used for classification and regression problems. Two types of machine learning algorithms were tested for classification: classical algorithms (Random Forest, RF and Support Vector Classifier, SVC) and deep learning algorithms (Multi-Layer Perceptron, MLP). For the regression problem, the result of MLP and Support Vector Regression (SVR) algorithms were compared based on their mean square, root mean square and mean absolute errors. The results obtained show that the accuracy of the RF classifier is 0.99, while the accuracies of the SVC and MLP methods are 0.98; moreover, in the case of flood prediction, the SVR algorithm outperforms the MLP approach.

Authors: Shi Zhongxing , Wang Dongqing , Kang Tanrong , Yi Ru , Cui Liming , Jiang Huijie
Published: February 2023

Background

This trial aimed to compare the outcomes of drug-eluting beads transarterial chemoembolization (DEB-TACE) with CalliSpheres® microspheres (CSM) and conventional transarterial chemoembolization cTACE in the treatment of patients with unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Patients and methods

A total of 90 patients were divided into DEB-TACE group (n = 45) and cTACE group (n = 45). The treatment response, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and the safety were compared between the two groups.

Results

The objective response rate (ORR) in the DEB-TACE group was significantly higher than that in cTACE group at 1, 3, and 6 months of follow-up (P = 0.031, P = 0.003, P = 0.002). The complete response (CR) in DEB-TACE group was significantly higher than that in cTACE group at 3 months (P = 0.036). Survival analysis revealed that, DEB-TACE group had better survival benefits than cTACE group (median OS: 534 days vs. 367 days, P = 0.027; median PFS: 352 days vs. 278 days P = 0.004). The degree of liver function injury was more serious in DEB-TACE group at 1 week, but was similar between the two groups at 1 month. DEB-TACE with CSM caused a high incidence of fever and a severe abdominal pain (P = 0.031, P = 0.037).

Conclusions

DEB-TACE with CSM showed better treatment response and survival benefits than cTACE group. Although a transient more severe liver damage, high incidence of fever and a severe abdominal pain occurred in the DEB-TACE group, it could be resolved through symptomatic treatment.
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt reduction for refractory hepatic encephalopathy: a case series
Authors: Healey Marcus Allen , Duong Nikki , Patel Kunal , Strife Brian , Sterling Richard K.
Published: February 2023

Background:

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is a therapeutic intervention for refractory ascites and variceal bleeding. However, the development of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a known complication. TIPS diameter can be reduced to decrease further HE episodes when refractory to pharmacotherapy. However, TIPS reduction for refractory hepatic encephalopathy (rHE) is poorly described. This case series identifies various characteristics and outcomes among this unique patient cohort.

Case Presentation:

In this cohort of 8 patients, 63% were male, 75% were Caucasian, and 38% had alcohol-associated cirrhosis. Following TIPS reduction, the number of HE-related admissions (mean, median) decreased from 2.1 and 2 to 1.6 and 0.5 while the number of non-HE admissions following TIPS reduction increased from 0.6 and 0 to 1 and 0.5.

Conclusion:

TIPS reduction reduced the number of hospitalizations for rHE but the total number of hospitalizations for all causes increased, demonstrating the high resource utilization for those with rHE following TIPS. Therefore, careful selection for initial TIPS placement remains a priority.

Performance and emission characteristics of salviniaceae filiculoides aquatic fern oil and SiO2 nano additive biodiesel in CI engine
Authors: Thurairaj Rajeswari Kannan , Selvadas Sheeju Selva Roji
Published: February 2023

This present study deals the engine performance and emission of adding SiO2 nano additives in novel salviniaceae filiculoides aquatic fern biomass derived biodiesel. The primary aim of this present study was to investigate the effect of adding SiO2 nano additives into the Azolla Oil Methyl Ester (AZOME) as a sustainable biodiesel in the Compression Ignition (CI) engine and studying the engine performance and emission effects. The Azolla Oil Methyl Ester was prepared via transesterification process and blended with as-present diesel with various percentages. The SiO2 nano particles are mixed with AZOME using sonication. The test was conducted using a single cylinder Compression Ignition engine with different blends of AZOME biodiesel. The fuel was injected into the engine at different spill timings as 20°, 23°, and 26° Crank Angle (CA) before (b) Top Dead Centre (TDC). According to the results the break thermal efficiency of AZOME and its SiO2 blends were improved with spill timings. On compare with the conventional diesel the Injection Time (IT) of 23° b TDC and the average Brake Thermal Efficiency (BTE) of AZ20 fuel at the retarded spill timing of 20° was raised by 3.38%, while the AZ100 fuel at 20° b TDC is decreased by 0.9%. However the emission of AZ100 fuel found to be lesser due to the presence of SiO2 nano additives. Thus the addition of SiO2 nano additives along with aquatic biomass Azolla Oil Methyl Ester reduced the emission without affecting the engine performance.
NACA2412 airfoil based method for design and aerodynamic analysis of small HAWT using modified BEM approach
Authors: Jha Devashish , Saurabh Saket
Published: February 2023

Efficient utilization of wind energy depends on careful selection and suitable design of Wind Turbine (WT) blades. Small scale Wind Turbines (SWT) normally operate in the low range of Angle of Attack (AoA). This makes the task even more difficult for designing and optimization of WT blades. This article deals with an airfoil based computational approach to design the blade for a standalone small scale Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT). A procedure has been proposed to find the important parameters and analyze the performance characteristics for a three bladed HAWT operating under the wake rotation. Computational code has been written to find optimum blade profile. Twist angle variation, chord length and other related parameters are determined with the help of program. Comparison between different types of airfoil has been made to figure out the most suitable one. Airfoil selection and design approach are intended to make Wind Turbine blade efficient specially under low range of AoA. Characteristics of the Wind Turbine obtained analytically from this procedure are compared with several other reported earlier in some of the literatures. The result obtained by the proposed procedure is simpler and more efficient than BEM theory – a method normally employed for blade design.

Arteriovenous shunt status post-coronary artery bypass graft surgery treated with microcoil placement: A case report
Authors: Reick-Mitrisin Victoria , Mohan Jay , Stenz Justin , Zainea Mark
Published: February 2023

Accidental cardiac arteriovenous (AV) anastomoses is a rare but severe complication of coronary artery bypass grafting. This can result in high output heart failure if left untreated. Little research has been done on the mainstays of treatment for this condition. Our patient is an 82-year-old male with a history of known coronary artery disease, status post-coronary bypass grafting surgery, presented with increasing shortness of breath, which was initially determined clinically to be due to high output heart failure, which was later confirmed during cardiac catheterization procedure. Coronary cardiac catheterization was carried out 2 weeks prior at an outside hospital for which the graft, which is supposed to be anastomosed of the circumflex, inadvertently anastomosed to the coronary sinus. The patient returned to the cardiac catheter lab and repeat angiography was performed. The left to right shunt was subsequently embolized using microcoils. He tolerated the procedure well. No recurrent anginal and/or heart failure symptoms were present. Interventional cardiology began the procedure by gaining right common femoral access. Next the saphenous vein graft to the coronary sinus was engaged with a 6 French JRy (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN) guide catheter and a 0.014” coronary wire was placed into the graft. Then interventional radiology advanced a 2.4 French microcatheter (Terumo, Ann Arbor, MI USA) over the 0.014” wire (Abbott Vascular Devices, Plymouth MN) into the mid to distal aspect of the bypass graft. Four detachable 0.018” microcoils (Terumo, Ann Arbor, MI USA) were carefully placed within the bypass graft. Subsequent angiogram demonstrated complete occlusion of the bypass graft with resolution of the AV shunt. Due to the acuity of the patient’s symptoms and the long timeframe from originally attempting stenting, no additional attempts to stent the circumflex were performed. Follow-up angiogram through the base catheter demonstrates complete occlusion of the bypass graft with resolution of the AV shunt. No contrast was seen entering the coronary sinus. The patient tolerated the procedure well with no immediate complications. Estimated blood loss was <10 mL. The patient was admitted overnight for further evaluation. No shortness of breath noted. He was discharged in good condition the following day. Accidental cardiac AV anastomosis is a rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafting that could lead to high output heart failure. In such cases, catheter directed embolization with microcoils can be done to occlude the AV shunt created by the previously placed cardiac catheter with resolution of heart failure symptoms.

Biliary cystadenocarcinomas are very rare malignant epithelial tumors of the liver. The preoperative diagnosis of this cystic tumor is difficult because its clinical and radiological presentation is non-specific. Complete surgical removal is the recommended treatment for hepatic cystadenocarcinoma. Incomplete resection is a source of tumor recurrence and metastatic dissemination, which is the case when it is wrongly diagnosed as another benign cystic lesion of the liver. We report a new case of biliary cystadenocarcinoma that has been diagnosed as a hepatic hydatic cyst, resulting in inadequate management.

We report the case of a 52-year-old patient. She was overweight and thought at first she was gaining weight. She presented to our department with a gradually increasing huge abdomen after 11 months of clinical evolution. She was not febrile and had normal vital signs on general assessment. No icterus or edema was present. On examination of the abdomen, there was widespread distension and a dull tone on percussion. The liver and spleen could not be felt. A large abdominal echogenic tumor filled the whole abdomen and pelvic cavity, according to the CT scan (Figure 1). Despite their rarity, peritoneal cystic mesothelioma and abdominal cystic lymphangioma should be suspected in the presence of such a pelvic mass. The huge cyst was confirmed on an abdomino-pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and measured 65 x 52 cm, supero-laterally displacing the liver and spleen. The kidneys were located in the back, and the bowel loops were located in the front. The ovaries were not visible. There was fluid in the peritoneal cavity (Figures 2 and 3). Tumor markers (CEA, a-fetoprotein and CA-125) were within normal limits. The hydatid cyst serology was positive.

Structures of LaH10, EuH9, and UH8 superhydrides rationalized by electron counting and Jahn-Teller distortions in a covalent cluster model
Authors: Morgan Harry , Alexandrova Anastassia
Published: February 2023

The superconducting hydrides LaH10, EuH9 and UH8 are studied using chemically intuitive bonding analysis of periodic and molecular models. We find trends in the crystallographic and electronic structures of the materials by focusing on chemically meaningful building blocks in the predicted H sublattices. Atomic charge calculations, using two complementary techniques, allow us to assign oxidation states to the metals and divide the H sublattice into neutral and anionic components. Cubic [H8]q- clusters are an important structural motif, and molecular orbital analysis of this cluster in isolation shows the crystal structures to be consistent with our oxidation state assignments. Crystal orbital Hamilton population analysis confirms the applicability of the cluster model to the periodic electronic structure. A Jahn-Teller distortion predicted by MO analysis rationalises the distortion observed in a prior study of EuH9. The impact of this distortion on superconductivity is determined, and implications for crystal structure prediction in other metal-hydrogen systems are discussed. Additionally, the performance of electronic structure analysis methods at high pressures are tested and recommendations for future studies are given. These results demonstrate the value of simple bonding models in rationalizing chemical structures under extreme conditions.
CysDB: A Human Cysteine Database based on Experimental Quantitative Chemoproteomics
Authors: Boatner Lisa , Palafox Maria , Schweppe Devin , Backus Keriann
Published: February 2023

Cysteine chemoproteomics studies provide proteome-wide portraits of the ligandability or potential ‘druggability’ of thousands of cysteine residues. Consequently, these studies are enabling resources for closing the druggability gap, namely achieving pharmacological manipulation of ~99% of the human proteome that remains untargeted by FDA approved small molecules. Recent interactive dataset repositories, such as OxiMouse and SLCABPP, have enabled users to interface more readily with cysteine chemoproteomics studies1,2. However, these databases remain limited to single studies and therefore do not provide a mechanism to perform cross-study analyses. Here we report CysDB as a curated community-wide repository of cysteine chemoproteomics data that incorporates high coverage data derived from nine studies generated by the Backus, Cravatt, Gygi, Wang, and Yang research groups. CysDB is a SQL relational database that is publicly available at https://backuslab.shinyapps.io/cysdb/ and features chemoproteomic measures of identification, hyperreactivity, and ligandability for 62,888 cysteines (24% of all cysteines the human proteome). The CysDB web application also includes annotations of functionality (UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot, Pfam, Panther), known druggability (FDA approved targets, DrugBank, ChEMBL), disease-relevance and genetic variation (ClinVar, Cancer Gene Census, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man), and structural features (Protein Data Bank). Showcasing the utility of CysDB, here we report the discovery and enrichment of ligandable cysteines in undruggable classes of proteins, the observation that a subset of cysteines showed marked preference for specific classes of electrophiles (chloroacetamide vs acrylamide), and that ligandable cysteines are present in numerous undrugged disease-relevant proteins. Most importantly, we have designed CysDB for the incorporation of new datasets and features to support the continued growth of the druggable cysteineome.

A mild catalytic variant of the aldol reaction between ethyl diazoacetate and aldehydes is described using a combination of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)acetamide and catalytic tetramethylammonium pivalate as catalyst. The reaction proceeds rapidly at ambient temperature to afford the O-silylated aldol products in good to excellent yield, and the acetamide byproducts can be removed by simple filtration.
Informing methane emissions inventories using facility aerial measurements at midstream natural gas facilities

Published: February 2023

Increased interest in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, including recent legislative action and voluntary programs, has increased attention on quantifying, and ultimately reducing, methane emissions from the natural gas supply chain. While inventories used for public or corporate GHG policies have traditionally utilized bottom-up (BU) methods to estimate emissions, the validity of such inventories has been questioned, growing interest in utilizing full-facility measurements using airborne, satellite or drone (top- down (TD)) techniques to inform, improve, or validate inventories. This work utilized full-facility estimates from aerial measurements to evaluate and improve emissions inventories from 15 midstream natural gas facilities in the U.S.A. and represents one of the first systematic studies of measurement-informed inventory methods in this supply chain sector. At each facility, two independent, full-facility estimates were made and compared with a contemporaneous inventory assembled by the facility operator, employing comprehensive inventory methods. Estimates from the two TD methods statistically agreed in 2 of 28 paired measurements. Operator inventories, which include extensions to capture more sources and integrate local measurements, estimated significantly lower emissions than the TD estimates for 40 of 43 paired comparisons. Significant disagreement at most facilities, both between the two TD methods and between the TD estimates and enhanced inventory, indicates that using TD estimates to inform inventories (a) will require additional diagnostic screening and measurement of all sources to improve inventory estimates, and (b) that TD full-facility measurement methods require additional testing, characterization, and potentially improvement, for use in complex midstream facilities.

Published: February 2023

A study was carried out at Phultala Upazilla of Khulna District in order to recognize the basis of selection criteria of planting materials and management techniques to produce better quality planting stocks in nurseries due to the dominance of nurseries in this area. This study was conducted by a survey of 88 sample nurseries using the snowball sampling technique. The majority of nursery owners (51.13%) are middle-aged (31-50), and 37.5% have a primary education. The maximum nursery owners (48.86%) had no training and their nursery size was small to medium size (73.86%). Maximum nurseries are permanent on both own and lease land (43.18%). Normally, greater numbers of fruit tree species are produced than timber species because of the higher demand for fruit tree species. Nursery owners consider quantity rather than improving the quality of seedlings. They collect seeds from the nearby home gardens (Rank-1), individual trees (Rank-2), private plantations (Rank-3), roadside plantations (Rank-4) and purchase them from the local market (Rank-5). They have little knowledge about the quality of seeds as well as their sources. Most nursery owners consider only a few characters for mother tree selection. They do not apply pre-sowing treatment, culling, grading, and conditioning properly, but they use pesticides and fertilizers (usually inorganic) regularly (36.77%). On the basis of this study, it is suggested that the nursery owners should be facilitated with training and other logistical support to achieve adequate knowledge of nursery management and to produce quality planting stocks in the study area.
Endovascular Strategy in Obstetrics
Authors: Matsumura Yosuke , Shinozuka Ken
Published: February 2023

Post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) requires medical resources to resuscitate hemorrhagic shock patients. The concept of damage control surgery in obstetrics has become widespread, and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) can be a means of resuscitation in PPH. However, the potential benefits of endovascular strategies in obstetrics are not fully understood. This review aims to share the knowledge and experience of the endovascular strategy in the field of obstetrics among both interventional radiologists and obstetricians through the summary of the literature and multi-specialty expert consensus in the Japanese Society of Diagnostic Interventional Radiology in Emergency, Critical care and Trauma (DIRECT). The endovascular strategies include REBOA, arterial embolization, and common or internal iliac artery balloon occlusion (CIABO or IIABO). Uterine artery embolization achieves rapid definitive hemostasis while leaving fertility with a less invasive procedure. N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) should be chosen as needed for coagulopathy. The obestetrics team (obstetricians and midwives) and the resuscitation team (doctors from emergency medicine, anesthesiology, interventional radiology, and nurses) would each have to develop a command system, and control and cooperate in parallel. The consensus for the timing of arterial access and the patient’s positioning for pelvic examination and femoral arterial access should be established in advance.

An estimator of the probability of default (PD) in credit risk is proposed. It is based on a nonparametric conditional survival function estimator for mixture cure models. Asymp- totic properties of the proposed estimator are proved. A simulation study shows the per- formance of the nonparametric estimator compared with other semiparametric methods. A real data analysis illustrates the practical behaviour.

Published: February 2023

The wristbands are very popular among the population due to factors such as their low cost, ease of use, designs and the feedback they provide to the consumer. These wearables track activity, heart rate and sleep-wake patterns. However, few studies have analysed the reliability of the data collected by these activity devices.

The validation of sleep data should be carried out by comparing it with Polysomnog- raphy (PSG), which is the standard test for measuring sleep parameters in the clinical setting. Thus, the aim of this project is the validation of the data quality of the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 wristband, when compared with the data by the hospital sleep unit devices during the performance of the polysomnography test.

In order to achieve this objective, an Epoch by Epoch (EBE) analysis will be performed to analyse how similar the results obtained by the two methods are. This analysis will use data from 45 people who underwent a PSG test and wore a Xiaomi Mi Band 5 bracelet for one night in a sleep unit of a hospital in A Corun ̃a. For this analysis, raw data from the PSG device and data from the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 wristband were used. In addition, different sleep variables were determined with the data extracted from both devices and following the guidelines of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) manual.
An approach for global localization in complex indoor environments based on topological maps

Published: February 2023

One of the main problems in mobile robotics is to estimate the global position in complex symmetrical environments. Even when there are many devices or algorithms to achieve that goal, not all of them are useful in all kind of environments. GPS is typically used outdoors whereas algorithms based on Monte Carlo localization (AMCL) are used in- doors. However, they present some disadvantages. Thus, the GPS commercial devices do not work inside the buildings and the AMCL algorithms are limited in symmetrical envi- ronments for the fact that they needs to detect remarkable differences in the environment. Due to the mentioned limitations we propose a global localization approach for symmet- rical indoor environments based on the structure of topological maps. Here, geometrical and semantic information of static objects are considered, respectively, from LIDAR and RGB-D camera. Both sensors provide us, respectively, the information about occupancy areas and the scene perception. The proposed system is divided into four tasks. The first one is the classification of nodes according to their geometrical nature based on the LIDAR signature. The second stage is focused on object detection through a pretrained CNN based on YOLO (You Only Look Once) as model of convolutional neural network, which is able to work in real time. The third task corresponds to tracking and pose es- timation of objects, where is necessary the information from YOLO and the depth data from camera. Finally, the last task consists of estimating the robot’s global pose on the map from the output of object detector, their relative distance and their estimation pose. This algorithm compares the structure of detected nodes and objects with the structure defined on a reference annotated map. In order to match the degree of similarity of both structures we define a evaluation function and the highest value estimates the edge where is located the robot in the topological map. Our main contributions with respect to our previous work are the addition of depth of detected objects and the improvement of the evaluation function.

Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality all have useful applications in the field of medicine, but Mixed reality has great potential because it allows for interaction with both real and digital Objects.

Based on a previous literature review, a preliminary Delphi study was performed to obtain the opinion of a panel of 22 experts from several hospitals on the use of Mixed Reality tools, such as the HoLoLens 2, in surgeries.

After data collection, a consensus letter was signed. According to experts, the most useful areas are medical education and surgical planning.
A System for Constituent and Dependency Tree Linearization
Authors: Roca Diego , Vilares David , Gómez-Rodríguez Carlos
Published: February 2023

In this work, we introduce a framework that unifies existing implementations for the tasks of constituent and dependency parsing as sequence labeling problems. The system provides a way to encode both formalisms as sequences of one label per word, so they can be used with any existing general-purpose sequence labeling architecture. More particu- larly, we implement three linearizations to encode constituent trees and four linearizations for dependency trees. All encoding functions ensure completeness and injectivity. We will also train a sequence labeling neural system to learn such encodings, and compare their ef- fectiveness on standard constituent (PTB and SPMRL treebanks) and dependency parsing (a subset of treebanks from the UD collection) evaluation frameworks.

After an exhaustive documentary analysis, inconsistencies or flaws were detected that could compromise the rights of citizens enshrined in the General Data Protection Regulation.
Task-oriented autonomous representation of visual inputs to facilitate robot goal achievement

Published: February 2023

State Representation Learning (SRL) is a field in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence that studies how to encode the observations of an environment in a way that facilitates performing specific tasks. A common approach is using autoencoders and learning to reproduce the same state from a low-dimensional representation [1, 2, 3]. Although very task-independent, this method learns to encode features that may not be relevant to the task in which the encoding will be used. An alternative is to use some elements related to the goal to achieve and/or some knowledge about the environment and the problem [1] to produce an appropriate low-dimensional encoding that captures only the relevant knowledge. In this paper, we propose an approach to autonomously obtain latent spaces of the appropriate (low) dimension that permit an efficient representation of the sensorial inputs using information about the environment and the goal. To measure the performance of this methodology, we show the results of a series of simulations of robots performing a task consisting in catching a ball in different environments. In these cases, we have found that the models required for the prediction of the final position of the ball, taking as input the learned encoding, are much simpler than those that would be required using the sensing information directly.
