In addition to environmental perception sensors such as cameras, radars, etc. in the automatic driving system, the external environment of the vehicle is perceived, in fact, there is also a perception sensor that has been silently dedicated in the system, that is, the positioning module. This paper explores the application of SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology in the context of automatic lane change behavior prediction and environment perception for autonomous vehicles. It discusses the limitations of traditional positioning methods, introduces SLAM technology, and compares LIDAR SLAM with visual SLAM. Real-world examples from companies like Tesla, Waymo, and Mobileye showcase the integration of AI-driven technologies, sensor fusion, and SLAM in autonomous driving systems. The paper then delves into the specifics of SLAM algorithms, sensor technologies, and the importance of automatic lane changes in driving safety and efficiency. It highlights Tesla's recent update to its Autopilot system, which incorporates automatic lane change functionality using SLAM technology. The paper concludes by emphasizing the crucial role of SLAM in enabling accurate environment perception, positioning, and decision-making for autonomous vehicles, ultimately enhancing safety and driving experience.

The future of transportation is being shaped by technology, and one revolutionary step in improving road safety is the incorporation of robotic systems into driver monitoring infrastructure. This literature review explores the current landscape of driver monitoring systems, ranging from traditional physiological parameter monitoring to advanced technologies such as facial recognition to steering analysis. Exploring the challenges faced by existing systems, the review then investigates the integration of robots as intelligent entities within this framework. These robotic systems, equipped with artificial intelligence and sophisticated sensors, not only monitor but actively engage with the driver, addressing cognitive and emotional states in real-time. The synthesis of existing research reveals a dynamic interplay between human and machine, offering promising avenues for innovation in adaptive, personalized, and ethically responsible human-robot interactions for driver monitoring. This review establishes a groundwork for comprehending the intricacies and potential avenues within this dynamic field. It encourages further investigation and advancement at the intersection of human-robot interaction and automotive safety, introducing a novel direction. This involves various sections detailing technological enhancements that can be integrated to propose an innovative and improved driver monitoring system.

Our paper presents a robust framework for UWB-based static gesture recognition, leveraging proprietary UWB radar sensor technology. Extensive data collection efforts were undertaken to compile datasets containing five commonly used gestures. Our approach involves a comprehensive data pre-processing pipeline that encompasses outlier handling, aspect ratio-preserving resizing, and false-color image transformation. Both CNN and MobileNet models were trained on the processed images. Remarkably, our best-performing model achieved an accuracy of 96.78%. Additionally, we developed a user-friendly GUI framework to assess the model's system resource usage and processing times, which revealed low memory utilization and real-time task completion in under one second. This research marks a significant step towards enhancing static gesture recognition using UWB technology, promising practical applications in various domains.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now transforming the manufacturing industry. AI can extend the sheer reach of potential applications in the manufacturing process from real-time equipment maintenance to virtual design that allows for new, improved, and customized products to a smart supply chain and the creation of new business models. Artificial intelligence (AI) in the manufacturing industry is being used across a variety of different application cases. It is being used as a way to enhance defect detection through sophisticated image processing algorithms that can then automatically categorize defects across any industrial object that it sees. The term artificial intelligence is used because these machines are artificially incorporated with human-like to perform tasks as we do.

Robotics is rapidly gaining traction, and many industries have accepted robots in their businesses. However, some path breaking innovation is helping robotics expand its outreach beyond business. The concept of robots in business has worked quite well and is still opening new avenues for not only big but also for small businesses. From industrial automation to Robotics as a Service (RaaS), robots are on the verge of becoming an indispensable part of our lives. Collaborative robots and piece picking robots have proved to be a success in the retail industries and other physical movement intensive companies.

Why do we talk about radar systems at all? Every year, about 1.3 million people die on the world's roads, and millions more are severely injured. The adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) with radar technology are crucial to safer driving, avoiding accidents and saving lives. Radar adoption is significantly accelerating by mandates across regions and regional New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) ratings. Many regions, for example, have issued legislation or five-star safety ratings for making certain features mandatory, such as automatic emergency braking, blind-spot detection or vulnerable road user detection.

Recently, Tufts University engineers developed flexible thread-based sensors that can be used to read data from the neck as direction, angle, and displacement. How does the engineers' sensor work, and how is AI becoming more important in sensor systems? Recently, Tufts University engineers developed flexible sensors that can be either directly attached to the skin or woven into the material to determine displacement, rotation, and direction. The sensors' key factor is not the thread material, but the coating which provides electrical conductivity. The coating used is a carbon-based ink, and as the threads are deformed, stretched, and strained, they conduct electricity differently.
