Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. For instance, a base station may transmit, to a user equipment (UE), control signaling indicating a configuration for transmitting a reference signal for reconfigurable surface configuration. The base station may receive, via a reconfigurable surface, the reference signal based on transmitting the control signaling. For instance, the reconfigurable surface may reflect the reference signal to the base station using a first configuration of the reconfigurable surface. The base station may transmit, to a controller of the reconfigurable surface, a set of parameters for configuring the reconfigurable surface to a second configuration for communications between the base station and the UE based on receiving the reference signal via the reconfigurable surface.

Abstract: System and method are disclosed for training a generative adversarial network pipeline that can produce realistic artificial depth images useful as training data for deep learning networks used for robotic tasks. A generator network receives a random noise vector and a computer aided design (CAD) generated depth image and generates an artificial depth image. A discriminator network receives either the artificial depth image or a real depth image in alternation, and outputs a predicted label indicating a discriminator decision as to whether the input is the real depth image or the artificial depth image. Training of the generator network is performed in tandem with the discriminator network as a generative adversarial network. A generator network cost function minimizes correctly predicted labels, and a discriminator cost function maximizes correctly predicted labels.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communications system may support compression of channel information (e.g., channel feedback) in accordance with multiple compression schemes, from which a transmitting device may select for a channel reporting transmission. For example, a user equipment (UE) may be configured with multiple channel state information compression schemes, corresponding to different encoders or decoders, which may involve various machine learning or neural network techniques. The UE may select or otherwise determine which compression scheme to use for channel reporting in various scenarios, including a selection based on whether a compression scheme maintains relatively accurate reporting, or whether a more power-intensive or processor-intensive compression scheme is supported by an operating mode of the UE, among other selection criteria.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for reducing channel state information (CSI) feedback overhead sent from one or more user equipments (UEs) to a network entity, such as a base station (BS) or gNodeB (gNB), while ensuring correct mapping of the CSI feedback at the network entity. In some cases, the overhead reduction may be achieved by converting the CSI feedback to size-reduced and further quantized representative coefficients (e.g., for multiple UEs). The quantized coefficients allow the network entity to recover the CSI feedback by de-quantizing and correctly mapping the quantized coefficients to recover the CSI feedback.

Abstract: A covariate shift generally refers to the change of the distribution of the input data (e.g., noise distribution) between the training and inference regimes. Such covariate shifts can degrade the performance grasping neural networks, and thus robotic grasping operations. As described herein, an output of a grasp neural network can be transformed, so as to determine appropriate locations on a given object for a robot or autonomous machine to grasp.

Abstract: In some cases, grasp point algorithms can be implemented so as to compute grasp points on an object that enable a stable grasp. It is recognized herein, however, that in practice a robot in motion can drop the object or otherwise have grasp issues when the object is grasped at the computed stable grasp points. Path constraints that can differ based on a given object are generated while generating the trajectory for a robot, so as to ensure that a grasp remains stable throughout the motion of the robot.
