Abstract
In order to meet the efficiency and smooth trajectory requirements of the casting sorting robotic arm, we propose a time-optimal trajectory planning method that combines a heuristic algorithm inspired by the behavior of the Genghis Khan shark (GKS) and segmented interpolation polynomials. First, the basic model of the robotic arm was constructed based on the arm parameters, and the workspace is analyzed. A matrix was formed by combining cubic and quintic polynomials using a segmented approach to solve for 14 unknown parameters and plan the trajectory. To enhance the smoothness and efficiency of the trajectory in the joint space, a dynamic nonlinear learning factor was introduced based on the traditional Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. Four different biological behaviors, inspired by GKS, were simulated. Within the premise of time optimality, a target function was set to effectively optimize within the feasible space. Simulation and verification were performed after determining the working tasks of the casting sorting robotic arm. The results demonstrated that the optimized robotic arm achieved a smooth and continuous trajectory velocity, while also optimizing the overall runtime within the given constraints. A comparison was made between the traditional PSO algorithm and an improved PSO algorithm, revealing that the improved algorithm exhibited better convergence. Moreover, the planning approach based on GKS behavior showed a decreased likelihood of getting trapped in local optima, thereby confirming the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract
Due to the increased employment of robots in modern society, path planning methods based on human-robot collaborative mobile robots have been the subject of research in both academia and industry. The dynamic window approach used in the research of the robot local path planning problem involves a mixture of fixed weight coefficients, which makes it hard to deal with the changing dynamic environment and the issue of the sub-optimal global planning paths that arise after local obstacle avoidance. By dynamically modifying the combination of weight coefficients, we propose, in this research, the use of fuzzy control logic to optimize the evaluation function's sub-functions and enhance the algorithm's performance through the safe and dynamic avoidance of obstacles. The global path is introduced to enhance the dynamic window technique's ability to plan globally, and important points on the global path are selected as key sub-target sites for the local motion planning phase of the dynamic window technique. The motion position changes after local obstacle avoidance to keep the mobile robot on the intended global path. According to the simulation results, the enhanced dynamic window algorithm cuts planning time and path length by 16% and 5%, respectively, while maintaining good obstacle avoidance and considering a better global path in the face of various dynamic environments. It is difficult to achieve a local optimum using this algorithm.

Abstract
To address the issues of unstable, non-uniform and inefficient motion trajectories in traditional manipulator systems, this paper proposes an improved whale optimization algorithm for time-optimal trajectory planning. First, an inertia weight factor is introduced into the surrounding prey and bubble-net attack formulas of the whale optimization algorithm. The value is controlled using reinforcement learning techniques to enhance the global search capability of the algorithm. Additionally, the variable neighborhood search algorithm is incorporated to improve the local optimization capability. The proposed whale optimization algorithm is compared with several commonly used optimization algorithms, demonstrating its superior performance. Finally, the proposed whale optimization algorithm is employed for trajectory planning and is shown to be able to produce smooth and continuous manipulation trajectories and achieve higher work efficiency.

Abstract
As astronauts perform on-orbit servicing of extravehicular activity (EVA) without the help of the space station's robotic arms, it will be rather difficult and labor-consuming to maintain the appropriate position in case of impact. In order to solve this problem, we propose the development of a wearable robotic limb system for astronaut assistance and a variable damping control method for maintaining the astronaut's position. The requirements of the astronaut's impact-resisting ability during EVA were analyzed, including the capabilities of deviation resistance, fast return, oscillation resistance, and accurate return. To meet these needs, the system of the astronaut with robotic limbs was modeled and simplified. In combination with this simplified model and a reinforcement learning algorithm, a variable damping controller for the end of the robotic limb was obtained, which can regulate the dynamic performance of the robot end to resist oscillation after impact. A weightless simulation environment for the astronaut with robotic limbs was constructed. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can meet the recommended requirements for maintaining an astronaut's position during EVA. No matter how the damping coefficient was set, the fixed damping control method failed to meet all four requirements at the same time. In comparison to the fixed damping control method, the variable damping controller proposed in this paper fully satisfied all the impact-resisting requirements by itself. It could prevent excessive deviation from the original position and was able to achieve a fast return to the starting point. The maximum deviation displacement was reduced by 39.3% and the recovery time was cut by 17.7%. Besides, it also had the ability to prevent reciprocating oscillation and return to the original position accurately.

Abstract
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology can be used to locate and build maps in unknown environments, but the constructed maps often suffer from poor readability and interactivity, and the primary and secondary information in the map cannot be accurately grasped. For intelligent robots to interact in meaningful ways with their environment, they must understand both the geometric and semantic properties of the scene surrounding them. Our proposed method can not only reduce the absolute positional errors (APE) and improve the positioning performance of the system but also construct the object-oriented dense semantic point cloud map and output point cloud model of each object to reconstruct each object in the indoor scene. In fact, eight categories of objects are used for detection and semantic mapping using coco weights in our experiments, and most objects in the actual scene can be reconstructed in theory. Experiments show that the number of points in the point cloud is significantly reduced. The average positioning error of the eight categories of objects in Technical University of Munich (TUM) datasets is very small. The absolute positional error of the camera is also reduced with the introduction of semantic constraints, and the positioning performance of the system is improved. At the same time, our algorithm can segment the point cloud model of objects in the environment with high accuracy.

Abstract
Energy saving in palletizing robot is a fundamental problem in the field of industrial robots. However, the palletizing robot often suffers from the problems of high energy consumption and lacking flexibility. In this work, we introduce a novel differential evolution algorithm to address the adverse effects caused by the instability of the initial trajectory parameters while reducing the energy. Specially, a simplified analytical model of the palletizing robot is firstly developed. Then, the simplified analytical model and the differential evolutionary algorithm are combined to form a planner with the goal of reducing energy consumption. The energy saving planner optimizes the initial parameters of the trajectories collected by the bionic demonstration system, which in turn enables a reduction in the operating power consumption of the palletizing robot. The major novelty of this article is the use of a differential evolutionary algorithm that can save the energy consumption as well as boosting its flexibility. Comparing with the traditional algorithms, the proposed method can achieve the state-of-the-art performance. Simulated and actual experimental results illustrate that the optimized trajectory parameters can effectively reduce the energy consumption of palletizing robot by 16%.

Abstract
The continuous development of deep learning improves target detection technology day by day. The current research focuses on improving the accuracy of target detection technology, resulting in the target detection model being too large. The number of parameters and detection speed of the target detection model are very important for the practical application of target detection technology in embedded systems. This article proposed a real-time target detection method based on a lightweight convolutional neural network to reduce the number of model parameters and improve the detection speed. In this article, the depthwise separable residual module is constructed by combining depthwise separable convolution and non–bottleneck-free residual module, and the depthwise separable residual module and depthwise separable convolution structure are used to replace the VGG backbone network in the SSD network for feature extraction of the target detection model to reduce parameter quantity and improve detection speed. At the same time, the convolution kernels of 1 × 3 and 3 × 1 are used to replace the standard convolution of 3 × 3 by adding the convolution kernels of 1 × 3 and 3 × 1, respectively, to obtain multiple detection feature graphs corresponding to SSD, and the real-time target detection model based on a lightweight convolutional neural network is established by integrating the information of multiple detection feature graphs. This article used the self-built target detection dataset in complex scenes for comparative experiments; the experimental results verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. The model is tested on video to verify the real-time performance of the model, and the model is deployed on the Android platform to verify the scalability of the model.

Abstract
Swarm intelligence algorithms are relatively simple and highly applicable algorithms, especially for solving optimization problems with high reentrancy, high stochasticity, large scale, multi-objective and multi-constraint characteristics. The sparrow search algorithm (SSA) is a kind of swarm intelligence algorithm with strong search capability, but SSA has the drawback of easily falling into local optimum in the iterative process. Therefore, a sine cosine and firefly perturbed sparrow search algorithm (SFSSA) is proposed for addressing this deficiency. Firstly, the Tent chaos mapping is invoked in the initialization population stage to improve the population diversity; secondly, the positive cosine algorithm incorporating random inertia weights is introduced in the discoverer position update, so as to improve the probability of the algorithm jumping out of the local optimum and speed up the convergence; finally, the firefly perturbation is used to firefly perturb the sparrows, and all sparrows are updated with the optimal sparrows using the firefly perturbation method to improve their search-ability. Thirteen benchmark test functions were chosen to evaluate SFSSA, and the results were compared to those computed by existing swarm intelligence algorithms, as well as the proposed method was submitted to the Wilcoxon rank sum test. Furthermore, the aforesaid methods were evaluated in the CEC 2017 test functions to further validate the optimization efficiency of the algorithm when the optimal solution is not zero. The findings show that SFSSA is more favorable in terms of algorithm performance, and the method's searchability is boosted. Finally, the suggested algorithm is used to the locating problem of emergency material distribution centers to further validate the feasibility and efficacy of SFSSA.

Abstract
Genetic algorithm is widely used in multi-objective mechanical structure optimization. In this paper, a genetic algorithm-based optimization method for ladle refractory lining structure is proposed. First, the parametric finite element model of the new ladle refractory lining is established by using ANSYS Workbench software. The refractory lining is mainly composed of insulating layer, permanent layer and working layer. Secondly, a mathematical model for multi-objective optimization is established to reveal the functional relationship between the maximum equivalent force on the ladle lining, the maximum temperature on the ladle shell, the total mass of the ladle and the structural parameters of the ladle refractory lining. Genetic algorithm translates the optimization process of ladle refractory lining into natural evolution and selection. The optimization results show that, compared with the unoptimized ladle refractory lining structure (insulation layer thickness of 0 mm, permanent layer thickness of 81 mm, and working layer thickness of 152 mm), the refractory lining with insulation layer thickness of 8.02 mm, permanent layer thickness of 76.20 mm, and working layer thickness of 148.61 mm has the best thermal insulation performance and longer service life within the variation of ladle refractory lining structure parameters. Finally, the results of the optimization are verified and analyzed in this paper. The study found that by optimizing the design of the ladle refractory lining, the maximum equivalent force on the ladle lining, the maximum temperature on the ladle shell and the ladle mass were reduced. The thermal insulation performance and the lightweight performance of the ladle are improved, which is very important for improving the service life of the ladle.

[PMID: 35747495 PMCID: PMC9209772 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.909023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 05/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
As a key technology for the non-invasive human-machine interface that has received much attention in the industry and academia, surface EMG (sEMG) signals display great potential and advantages in the field of human-machine collaboration. Currently, gesture recognition based on sEMG signals suffers from inadequate feature extraction, difficulty in distinguishing similar gestures, and low accuracy of multi-gesture recognition. To solve these problems a new sEMG gesture recognition network called Multi-stream Convolutional Block Attention Module-Gate Recurrent Unit (MCBAM-GRU) is proposed, which is based on sEMG signals. The network is a multi-stream attention network formed by embedding a GRU module based on CBAM. Fusing sEMG and ACC signals further improves the accuracy of gesture action recognition. The experimental results show that the proposed method obtains excellent performance on dataset collected in this paper with the recognition accuracies of 94.1%, achieving advanced performance with accuracy of 89.7% on the Ninapro DB1 dataset. The system has high accuracy in classifying 52 kinds of different gestures, and the delay is less than 300 ms, showing excellent performance in terms of real-time human-computer interaction and flexibility of manipulator control.

Abstract
The development of object detection technology makes it possible for robots to interact with people and the environment, but the changeable application scenarios make the detection accuracy of small and medium objects in the practical application of object detection technology low. In this paper, based on multi-scale feature fusion of indoor small target detection method, using the device to collect different indoor images with angle, light, and shade conditions, and use the image enhancement technology to set up and amplify a date set, with indoor scenarios and the SSD algorithm in target detection layer and its adjacent features fusion. The Faster R-CNN, YOLOv5, SSD, and SSD target detection models based on multi-scale feature fusion were trained on an indoor scene data set based on transfer learning. The experimental results show that multi-scale feature fusion can improve the detection accuracy of all kinds of objects, especially for objects with a relatively small scale. In addition, although the detection speed of the improved SSD algorithm decreases, it is faster than the Faster R-CNN, which better achieves the balance between target detection accuracy and speed.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2022; 10:832829. [PMID: 35662837 PMCID: PMC9162496 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2022.832829] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2021] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The analysis of robot inverse kinematic solutions is the basis of robot control and path planning, and is of great importance for research. Due to the limitations of the analytical and geometric methods, intelligent algorithms are more advantageous because they can obtain approximate solutions directly from the robot’s positive kinematic equations, saving a large number of computational steps. Particle Swarm Algorithm (PSO), as one of the intelligent algorithms, is widely used due to its simple principle and excellent performance. In this paper, we propose an improved particle swarm algorithm for robot inverse kinematics solving. Since the setting of weights affects the global and local search ability of the algorithm, this paper proposes an adaptive weight adjustment strategy for improving the search ability. Considering the running time of the algorithm, this paper proposes a condition setting based on the limit joints, and introduces the position coefficient k in the velocity factor. Meanwhile, an exponential product form modeling method (POE) based on spinor theory is chosen. Compared with the traditional DH modeling method, the spinor approach describes the motion of a rigid body as a whole and avoids the singularities that arise when described by a local coordinate system. In order to illustrate the advantages of the algorithm in terms of accuracy, time, convergence and adaptability, three experiments were conducted with a general six-degree-of-freedom industrial robotic arm, a PUMA560 robotic arm and a seven-degree-of-freedom robotic arm as the research objects. In all three experiments, the parameters of the robot arm, the range of joint angles, and the initial attitude and position of the end-effector of the robot arm are given, and the attitude and position of the impact point of the end-effector are set to verify whether the joint angles found by the algorithm can reach the specified positions. In Experiments 2 and 3, the algorithm proposed in this paper is compared with the traditional particle swarm algorithm (PSO) and quantum particle swarm algorithm (QPSO) in terms of position and direction solving accuracy, operation time, and algorithm convergence. The results show that compared with the other two algorithms, the algorithm proposed in this paper can ensure higher position accuracy and orientation accuracy of the robotic arm end-effector. the position error of the algorithm proposed in this paper is 0 and the maximum orientation error is 1.29 × 10–8. while the minimum position error of the other two algorithms is −1.64 × 10–5 and the minimum orientation error is −4.03 × 10–6. In terms of operation time, the proposed algorithm in this paper has shorter operation time compared with the other two algorithms. In the last two experiments, the computing time of the proposed algorithm is 0.31851 and 0.30004s respectively, while the shortest computing time of the other two algorithms is 0.33359 and 0.30521s respectively. In terms of algorithm convergence, the proposed algorithm can achieve faster and more stable convergence than the other two algorithms. After changing the experimental subjects, the proposed algorithm still maintains its advantages in terms of accuracy, time and convergence, which indicates that the proposed algorithm is more applicable and has certain potential in solving the multi-arm inverse kinematics solution. This paper provides a new way of thinking for solving the multi-arm inverse kinematics solution problem.

Abstract
In order to solve the problems of poor image quality, loss of detail information and excessive brightness enhancement during image enhancement in low light environment, we propose a low-light image enhancement algorithm based on improved multi-scale Retinex and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm optimization in this paper. First of all, the algorithm makes two copies of the original image, afterwards, the irradiation component of the original image is obtained by used the structure extraction from texture via relative total variation for the first image, and combines it with the multi-scale Retinex algorithm to obtain the reflection component of the original image, which are simultaneously enhanced using histogram equalization, bilateral gamma function correction and bilateral filtering. In the next part, the second image is enhanced by histogram equalization and edge-preserving with Weighted Guided Image Filtering (WGIF). Finally, the weight-optimized image fusion is performed by ABC algorithm. The mean values of Information Entropy (IE), Average Gradient (AG) and Standard Deviation (SD) of the enhanced images are respectively 7.7878, 7.5560 and 67.0154, and the improvement compared to original image is respectively 2.4916, 5.8599 and 52.7553. The results of experiment show that the algorithm proposed in this paper improves the light loss problem in the image enhancement process, enhances the image sharpness, highlights the image details, restores the color of the image, and also reduces image noise with good edge preservation which enables a better visual perception of the image.

Abstract
Recent work has shown that deep convolutional neural network is capable of solving inverse problems in computational imaging, and recovering the stress field of the loaded object from the photoelastic fringe pattern can also be regarded as an inverse problem solving process. However, the formation of the fringe pattern is affected by the geometry of the specimen and experimental configuration. When the loaded object produces complex fringe distribution, the traditional stress analysis methods still face difficulty in unwrapping. In this study, a deep convolutional neural network based on the encoder-decoder structure is proposed, which can accurately decode stress distribution information from complex photoelastic fringe images generated under different experimental configurations. The proposed method is validated on a synthetic dataset, and the quality of stress distribution images generated by the network model is evaluated using mean squared error (MSE), structural similarity index measure (SSIM), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), and other evaluation indexes. The results show that the proposed stress recovery network can achieve an average performance of more than 0.99 on the SSIM.

Traffic flow prediction using bi-directional gated recurrent unit method. URBAN INFORMATICS 2022; 1:16. [PMCID: PMC9713748 DOI: 10.1007/s44212-022-00015-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
Traffic flow prediction plays an important role in intelligent transportation systems. To accurately capture the complex non-linear temporal characteristics of traffic flow, this paper adopts a Bi-directional Gated Recurrent Unit (Bi-GRU) model in traffic flow prediction. Compared to Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), which can memorize information from the previous sequence, this model can memorize the traffic flow information in both previous and subsequent sequence. To demonstrate the model’s performance, a set of real case data at 1-hour intervals from 5 working days was used, wherein the dataset was separated into training and validation. To improve data quality, an augmented dickey-fuller unit root test and differential processing were performed before model training. Four benchmark models were used, including the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), and GRU. The prediction results show the superior performance of Bi-GRU. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of the Bi-GRU model are 30.38, 9.88%, and 23.35, respectively. The prediction accuracy of LSTM, Bi-LSTM, GRU, and Bi-GRU, which belong to deep learning methods, is significantly higher than that of the traditional ARIMA model. The MAPE difference of Bi-GRU and GRU is 0.48% which is a small prediction error value. The results show that the prediction accuracy of the peak period is higher than that of the low peak. The Bi-GRU model has a certain lag on traffic flow prediction.
