论文摘要
储层计算是预测湍流的有力工具，其简单的架构具有处理大型系统的计算效率。然而，其实现通常需要完整的状态向量测量和系统非线性知识。我们使用非线性投影函数将系统测量扩展到高维空间，然后将其输入到储层中以获得预测。我们展示了这种储层计算网络在时空混沌系统上的应用，该系统模拟了湍流的若干特征。我们表明，使用径向基函数作为非线性投影器，即使只有部分观测并且不知道控制方程，也能稳健地捕捉复杂的系统非线性。最后，我们表明，当测量稀疏、不完整且带有噪声，甚至控制方程变得不准确时，我们的网络仍然可以产生相当准确的预测，从而为实际湍流系统的无模型预测铺平了道路。
Deformable objects manipulation can benefit from representations that seamlessly integrate vision and touch while handling occlusions. In this work, we present a novel approach for, and real-world demonstration of, multimodal visuo-tactile state-estimation and dynamics prediction for deformable objects. Our approach, VIRDO++, builds on recent progress in multimodal neural implicit representations for deformable object state-estimation [1] via a new formulation for deformation dynamics and a complementary state-estimation algorithm that (i) maintains a belief over deformations, and (ii) enables practical real-world application by removing the need for privileged contact information. In the context of two real-world robotic tasks, we show:(i) high-fidelity cross-modal state-estimation and prediction of deformable objects from partial visuo-tactile feedback, and (ii) generalization to unseen objects and contact formations.
