According to news reporting out of Shenzhen, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Visual servoing can effectively control ro bots using visual feedback to improve their intelligence and reliability. For a feature point detected by a monocular camera, the time-varying depth appearing n onlinearly in the Jacobian matrix is difficult to be measured without the prior geometry knowledge of the observed object." Financial supporters for this research include Fundamental Research Funds for th e Central Universities, Sun Yat-sen University, China, Guangdong Provincial Pear l River Talents Program of China. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Sun Yat-sen Univers ity, "Therefore, the depth of the feature point is one of the major uncertain pa rameters in visual servoing. Considering unknown Cartesian feature positions, th is article presents a robot dynamics-based homography-based visual servoing (HBV S) controller for the 3-D pose regulation of eye-in-hand robot arms with monocul ar cameras. The uncertain depth is represented into a linear form of its Cartesi an feature position, and a composite learning law is applied to estimate positio n parameters accurately, resulting in exact depth estimation. Compared to existi ng adaptive HBVS methods, the distinctive feature of the proposed method is that it is a dynamics-based design and guarantees exact depth estimation under a muc h weaker condition termed interval excitation compared to persistent excitation.

According to news reporting out of Denver, Colorado, by NewsRx edito rs, research stated, "Effective maintenance planning for bridges is crucial for maintaining their performance, safety, and minimizing maintenance costs. Timely implementation of interventions can improve the performance of bridges and avoid the need for costly interventions." Financial support for this research came from Mountain Plan Consortium (MPC). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the University of C olorado Denver, "However, bridge maintenance is often delayed because of inadequ ate planning and budget allocation, as well as resource constraints such as fund ing. With the availability of historical condition data of bridges in databases such as the National Bridge Inventory (NBI) and National Bridge Elements (NBE), there is an opportunity to use data-driven methods to predict deterioration of b ridge elements and optimize their maintenance interventions to maximize the perf ormance of bridges. This paper presents the development of a novel system that u ses machine learning (ML) techniques, to predict the condition of concrete bridg e elements, and binary linear programming optimization method, to identify the o ptimal selection of maintenance interventions and their timing, to maximize the performance of bridges while complying with available annual budgets. Four ML me thods are explored: decision tree, random forest, gradient boosting, and support vector machines. The results of the ML evaluation show that, while the values o f the predictive performance metrics varied for different elements, random fores t method had the best performance for all elements. A case study of a concrete b ridge is analyzed to evaluate the performance of the system and demonstrate its new capabilities. The case study results show that the developed model identifie s optimal maintenance interventions for various annual budgets over a 50-year st udy period. The primary contributions of this research to the body of knowledge are as follows: (1) the development of a novel system that integrates machine le arning techniques and linear programming for predicting bridge element condition s and optimizing maintenance interventions; (2) modeling and predicting the dete rioration of bridge elements based on health index metric; and (3) generating lo ng-term maintenance plans for each of the bridge elements to maximize the perfor mance of bridges within available annual budgets."

This study aimed to analyze the utility of Machine Learning (ML) algorithms based on electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in evaluat ing perioperative anxiety and depression in women with systemic tumors treated w ith Esketamine, utilizing a large-scale medical data background. A single-center , randomized, placebocontrolled (SC-RPC) trial design was adopted. A total of 1 12 female patients with systemic tumors and PADS who received Esketamine treatme nt were included as study participants. A moderate dose (0.7 mg/kg) of Esketamin e was administered through intravenous infusion over a duration of 60 minutes. E EG signals were collected from all patients, and the EEG signal features of indi viduals with depression were compared to those without depression. In this study , a Support Vector Machine (SVM)-K-Nearest Neighbour (KNN) hybrid classifier was constructed based on SVM and KNN algorithms. Using the EEG signals, the classif ier was utilized to assess the anxiety and depression status of the patients. Th e predictive performance of the classifier was evaluated using accuracy, sensiti vity, and specificity measures. The C2 correntropy feature of the delta rhythm i n the left-brain EEG signal was significantly higher in individuals with depress ion compared to those without depression (p <0.05). Moreove r, the C2 correntropy feature of the Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rhythms in the left- brain EEG signal was significantly lower in individuals with depression compared to those without depression (p <0.05). In the right brain EEG signal, the C2 correntropy feature of the delta rhythm was significantly hig her in individuals with depression (p <0.05), while the C2 correntropy feature of the alpha and gamma rhythms was significantly lower in in dividuals with depression compared to those without depression (p <0.05). Additionally, the C1 correntropy feature of the Gamma rhythm in the right brain EEG signal was significantly higher in individuals with depression compar ed to those without depression (p <0.05).
