Abstract

Industrial device commissioning requires engineers to manually extract hundreds of protocol-specific parameters from heterogeneous PDF manuals and transcribe them into supervisory control systems, a time-intensive, error-prone workflow. This paper presents SysName, a production-oriented pipeline that automates device configuration end-to-end for Modbus RTU, OPC-UA, Profibus DP, and CANopen. It builds a hybrid dense-sparse retrieval index augmented by an ontology graph derived from ECLASS, AAS, and SOSA/SSN, using a BGE-M3 encoder with a cross-encoder reranker to surface relevant manual passages. A local LLM (T=0.1) generates ontology-aligned JSON-LD configurations via protocol-specific prompts and a four-step repair pipeline. A two-stage abstention gate, combining a reranker-score threshold and an IRI resolution ratio, blocks unsafe LLM invocations and filters low-coverage configurations before SHACL validation. On a gold set of 28 field-level queries, the hybrid retriever reaches 0.96 HitRate@10, and the reranker raises MRR@10 from 0.56 to 0.63 with perfect score separation for abstention. The generator attains field-level F1=0.87 with exact match on 9 of 12 runs. End-to-end runs on an H100 GPU complete in 2.6-6.6s per device with zero unsafe writes and zero silent failures on a five-device benchmark; every unsuccessful run is flagged by abstention or deployment verification. Component-wise evaluation localises the single systematic failure to OPC-UA generation, invisible to end-to-end metrics alone. A case study commissions a physics-simulated Universal Robots UR5e robot from unmodified vendor documentation (254-page manual, 8-page register list, 496 chunks), reaching field-level F1=1.0 over three runs with read-back and joint-consistency verification. An ablation study and comparison with five industrial-LLM systems complete the analysis.

J-PARSE: Jacobian-based Projection Algorithm for Resolving Singularities Effectively in Inverse Kinematic Control of Serial Manipulators

J-PARSE is an algorithm for smooth first-order inverse kinematic control of a serial manipulator near kinematic singularities. The commanded end-effector velocity is interpreted component-wise, according to the available mobility in each dimension of the task space. First, a substitute ''Safety'' Jacobian matrix is created, keeping the aspect ratio of the manipulability ellipsoid above a threshold value. The desired velocity is then projected onto non-singular and singular directions, and the latter projection scaled down by a factor informed by the altered mobility. A right-inverse of the non-singular Safety Jacobian is applied to the modified command. In the absence of joint limits and collisions, this ensures safe transition into and out of low-mobility configurations, guaranteeing locally stable reaching behavior towards target poses within, on the boundary of, and outside the workspace. The behavior is further guaranteed to be locally asymptotically stable if the starting and target configurations are not exactly singular, even if they are nearly singular. Velocity control with J-PARSE is benchmarked against approaches from the literature, illustrating its use of a single tuning parameter to simultaneously achieve high reaching accuracy and stable behavior. Applications in teleoperation, servoing, and learning are demonstrated. Videos and code are available at https://jparse-manip.github.io/.

NeMo-map: Neural Implicit Flow Fields for Spatio-Temporal Motion Mapping

Safe and efficient robot operation in complex human environments can benefit from good models of site-specific motion patterns. Maps of Dynamics (MoDs) provide such models by encoding statistical motion patterns in a map, but existing representations use discrete spatial sampling and typically require costly offline construction. We propose a continuous spatio-temporal MoD representation based on implicit neural functions that directly map coordinates to the parameters of a Semi-Wrapped Gaussian Mixture Model. This removes the need for discretization and imputation for unevenly sampled regions, enabling smooth generalization across both space and time. Evaluated on two public datasets with real-world people tracking data, our method achieves better accuracy of motion representation and smoother velocity distributions in sparse regions while still being computationally efficient, compared to available baselines. The proposed approach demonstrates a powerful and efficient way of modeling complex human motion patterns and high performance in the trajectory prediction downstream task. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/test-bai-cpu/nemo-map.

Spatiotemporal Calibration of Doppler Velocity Logs for Underwater Robots

The calibration of extrinsic parameters and clock offsets between sensors for high-accuracy performance in underwater SLAM systems remains insufficiently explored. Existing methods for Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) calibration are either constrained to specific sensor configurations or rely on oversimplified assumptions, and none jointly estimate translational extrinsics and time offsets. We propose a Unified Iterative Calibration (UIC) framework for general DVL sensor setups, formulated as a Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimation with a Gaussian Process (GP) motion prior for high-fidelity motion interpolation. UIC alternates between efficient GP-based motion state updates and gradient-based calibration variable updates, supported by a provably statistically consistent sequential initialization scheme. The proposed UIC can be applied to IMU, cameras and other modalities as co-sensors. We release an open-source DVL-camera calibration toolbox. Beyond underwater applications, several aspects of UIC-such as the integration of GP priors for MAP-based calibration and the design of provably reliable initialization procedures-are broadly applicable to other multi-sensor calibration problems. Finally, simulations and real-world tests validate our approach.
