Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the era of rapid technological advancement, the integration of energy systems with intelligent control mechanisms is revolutionizing modern mobility and industry. This convergence encompasses a wide array of cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, including hybrid mobile robots, new energy vehicle power systems, and multi-energy complementarity within distributed micro-grids. Additionally, advanced energy integration plays a crucial role in optimizing these systems. Research in these areas necessitates the support of diverse and comprehensive fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, and intelligent control theories. Scholars and experts from various domains are required to collaborate, communicate, and jointly promote the intelligentization and electrification of related fields.

As we look toward the future, the convergence of energy, intelligent sensing, and control systems within a unified model is anticipated to give rise to super-intelligent entities. These entities will be capable of revolutionizing industries through their autonomous decision-making capabilities and their ability to optimize energy use on an unprecedented scale. To achieve these ambitious goals, research must be underpinned by robust fields such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data mining, and advanced control theories. Scholars and experts in various fields are required to communicate and jointly promote the process of intelligence in related fields.  Intelligentization and electrification are crucial for ensuring that vehicles operate autonomously and are environmentally friendly.

In this paper, a novel LiDAR–inertial-based Simultaneous Localization and Mesh Reconstruction (LI-SLAMesh) system is proposed, which can achieve fast and robust pose tracking and online mesh reconstruction in an outdoor environment. The LI-SLAMesh system consists of two components, including LiDAR–inertial odometry and a Truncated Signed Distance Field (TSDF) free online reconstruction module. Firstly, to reduce the odometry drift errors we use scan-to-map matching, and inter-frame inertial information is used to generate prior relative pose estimation for later LiDAR-dominated optimization. Then, based on the motivation that the unevenly distributed residual terms tend to degrade the nonlinear optimizer, a novel residual density-driven Gauss–Newton method is proposed to obtain the optimal pose estimation. Secondly, to achieve fast and accurate 3D reconstruction, compared with TSDF-based mapping mechanism, a more compact map representation is proposed, which only maintains the occupied voxels and computes the vertices’ SDF values of each occupied voxels using an iterative Implicit Moving Least Squares (IMLS) algorithm. Then, marching cube is performed on the voxels and a dense mesh map is generated online. Extensive experiments are conducted on public datasets. The experimental results demonstrate that our method can achieve significant localization and online reconstruction performance improvements. The source code will be made public for the benefit of the robotic community. Full article
