    Studies from IMDEA Materials Institute Update Current Data on Machine Learning (Application of Machine Learning To Assess the Influence of Microstructure On Twin Nucleation In Mg Alloys)

    39-40页
    查看更多>>摘要:Investigators discuss new findings in Machine Learning. According to news reporting originating in Madrid, Spain, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Twin nucleation in textured Mg alloys was studied by means of electron back-scattered diffraction in samples deformed in tension along different orientations in more than 3000 grains. In addition, 28 relevant parameters, categorized in four different groups (loading condition, grain shape, apparent Schmid factors, and grain boundary features) were also recorded for each grain." Financial supporters for this research include Consejeria de Educacion, Juventud y Deporte, Comunidad de Madrid, China Scholarship Council. The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from IMDEA Materials Institute, "This infor- mation was used to train supervised machine learning classification models to analyze the influence of the microstructural features on the nucleation of extension twins in Mg alloys. It was found twin nucleation is favored in larger grains and in grains with high twinning Schmid factors, but also that twins may form in the grains with very low or even negative Schmid factors for twinning if they have at least one smaller neighboring grain and another one (or the same) that is more rigid. Moreover, twinning of small grains with high twinning Schmid factors is favored if they have low basal slip Schmid factors and have at least one neighboring grain with a high basal slip Schmid factor that will deform easily."

    Findings from University of Notre Dame in Machine Learning Re- ported (Adjoint-based Machine Learning for Active Flow Control)

    40-41页
    查看更多>>摘要:Data detailed on Machine Learning have been presented. According to news reporting originating in Notre Dame, Indiana, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "We develop neural-network active flow controllers using a deep learning partial differential equation augmentation method (DPM). The end-to-end sensitivities for optimization are computed using adjoints of the governing equations without restriction on the terms that may appear in the objective function." Financial support for this research came from University of Notre Dame Center for Research Computing (CRC). The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the University of Notre Dame, "In one- dimensional Burgers' examples with analytic (manufactured) control functions, DPM-based control is com- parably effective to standard supervised learning for in-sample solutions and more effective for out-of-sample solutions, i.e., with different analytic control functions. The influence of the optimization time interval and neutral-network width is analyzed, the results of which influence algorithm design and hyperparameter choice, balancing control efficacy with computational cost. We subsequently develop adjoint-based con- trollers for two flow scenarios. First, we compare the drag-reduction performance and optimization cost of adjoint-based controllers and deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based controllers for two-dimensional, incompressible, confined flow over a cylinder at Re = 100, with control achieved by synthetic body forces along the cylinder boundary. The required model complexity for the DRL-based controller is 4229 times that required for the DPM-based controller. In these tests, the DPM-based controller is 4.85 times more effective and 63.2 times less computationally intensive to train than the DRL-based controller. Second, we test DPM-based control for compressible, unconfined flow over a cylinder and extrapolate the controller to out-of-sample Reynolds numbers. We also train a simplified, steady, offline controller based on the DPM control law. Both online (DPM) and offline (steady) controllers stabilize the vortex shedding with a 99% drag reduction, demonstrating the robustness of the learning approach. For out-of-sample flows (Re = {50, 200, 300, 400}), both the online and offline controllers successfully reduce drag and stabilize vortex shedding, indicating that the DPM-based approach results in a stable model."

    Studies from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur Pro- vide New Data on Machine Learning (Machine Learning-based Draft Prediction for Mouldboard Ploughing In Sandy Clay Loam Soil)

    41-41页
    查看更多>>摘要:Data detailed on Machine Learning have been presented. According to news reporting from West Bengal, India, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Machine learning (ML) models are developed to predict draft for mouldboard ploughs operating in sandyclay-loam soil. The draft of tillage tools is influenced by soil cone-index, tillage-depth, and operatingspeed." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur, "We used a three-point hitch dynamometer to measure draft force, a cone penetrometer for soil cone-index, rotary potentiometers for tillage-depth, and proximity sensors for operating-speed. Draft requirements were experimentally measured for a two-bottom mouldboard plough at three different tillage- depths and various operating-speeds. We developed prediction models using recent ML algorithms, includ- ing Linear-Regression, Ridge-Regression, Support-Vector-Machines, Decision-Trees, k-Nearest-Neighbours, Random-Forests, Adaptive-Boosting, Gradient-Boosting-Regression, LightGradient-Boosting-Machine, and Categorical-Boosting. These models were trained and tested using a dataset of field measurements includ- ing soil cone-index, tillage-depth, operating-speed, and corresponding draft values. We compared the measured draft with the commonly used ASABE model, which resulted in an R2 of 0.62. Our ML models outperformed the ASABE model with significantly better performance. The test data set achieved R2 values ranging from 0.906 to 0.983."

    Wuhan University Reports Findings in Artificial Intelligence (Laser- Induced Skin-like Flexible Pressure Sensor for Artificial Intelligence Speech Recognition)

    42-42页
    查看更多>>摘要:New research on Artificial Intelligence is the subject of a report. According to news reporting out of Hubei, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Skin-like flexible pressure sensors with good sensing performance have great application potential, but their development is limited owing to the need for multistep, high-cost, and low-efficiency preparation processes. Herein, a simple, low-cost, and efficient laser-induced forming process is proposed for the first time to prepare a skin-like flexible piezoresistive sensor." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Wuhan University, "In the laser-induced forming process, based on the photothermal effect of graphene and the foaming effect of glucose, a skin- like polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) film with porous structures and surface protrusions is obtained by using infrared laser irradiation of the glucose/graphene/PDMS prepolymer film. Further, based on the skin-like PDMS film with a graphene conductive layer, a new skin-like flexible piezoresistive sensor is obtained. Due to the stress concentration caused by the surface protrusions and the low stiffness caused by the porous structures, the flexible piezoresistive sensor realizes an ultrahigh sensitivity of 1348 kPa at 0-2 kPa, a wide range of 200 kPa, a fast response/recovery time of 52 ms/35 ms, and good stability over 5000 cycles. The application of the sensor to the detection of human pulses and robot clamping force indicates its potential for health monitoring and soft robots. Furthermore, in combination with the neural network (CNN) algorithm in artificial intelligence technology, the sensor achieves 95% accuracy in speech recognition, which demonstrates its great potential for intelligent wearable electronics."

    Researchers from University of Cologne Report Findings in Machine Learning ('seeing' Beneath the Clouds-machine-learning-based Re- construction of North African Dust Plumes)

    43-44页
    查看更多>>摘要:Research findings on Machine Learning are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting originating from Cologne, Germany, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Mineral dust is one of the most abundant atmospheric aerosol species and has various far-reaching effects on the climate system and adverse impacts on air quality. Satellite observations can provide spatio-temporal information on dust emission and transport pathways." Funders for this research include Helmholtz Association, University of Cologne, Deutsches Klimarechen- zentrum (DKRZ) - Scientific Steering Committee (WLA). Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the University of Cologne, "However, satellite observations of dust plumes are frequently obscured by clouds. We use a method based on established, machine-learning-based image in-painting techniques to restore the spatial extent of dust plumes for the first time. We train an artificial neural net (ANN) on modern reanalysis data paired with satellite-derived cloud masks. The trained ANN is applied to cloud-masked, gray-scaled images, which were derived from false color images indicating elevated dust plumes in bright magenta. The images were obtained from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager instrument onboard the Meteosat Second Generation satel- lite. We find up to 15% of summertime observations in West Africa and 10% of summertime observations in Nubia by satellite images miss dust plumes due to cloud cover. We use the new dust-plume data to demonstrate a novel approach for validating spatial patterns of the operational forecasts provided by the World Meteorological Organization Dust Regional Center in Barcelona. The comparison elucidates often similar dust plume patterns in the forecasts and the satellite-based reconstruction, but once trained, the reconstruction is computationally inexpensive. Our proposed reconstruction provides a new opportunity for validating dust aerosol transport in numerical weather models and Earth system models. It can be adapted to other aerosol species and trace gases. Most dust and sand particles in the atmosphere originate from North Africa. Since ground-based observations of dust plumes in North Africa are sparse, investigations often rely on satellite observations. Dust plumes are frequently obscured by clouds, making it difficult to study the full extent. We use machine-learning methods to restore information about the extent of dust plumes beneath clouds in 2021 and 2022 at 9, 12, and 15 UTC. We use the reconstructed dust patterns to demonstrate a new way to validate the dust forecast ensemble provided by the World Meteorological Orga- nization Dust Regional Center in Barcelona, Spain. Our proposed method is computationally inexpensive and provides new opportunities for assessing the quality of dust transport simulations. The method can be transferred to reconstruct other aerosol and trace gas plumes."

    Data from Beijing Jiaotong University Broaden Understanding of Robotics (Integrated wheel-foot-arm design of a mobile platform with linkage mechanisms)

    44-44页
    查看更多>>摘要:A new study on robotics is now available. According to news reporting out of Beijing Jiaotong University by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Inspired by lizards, a novel mobile platform with revolving linkage legs is proposed." Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundation of China. The news editors obtained a quote from the research from Beijing Jiaotong University: "The platform consists of four six-bar bipedal modules and it is designed for heavy transportation on unstructured terrain. The platform possesses smooth wheeled locomotion and obstacle adaptive legged locomotion to enhance maneuverability. The kinematics of the six-bar bipedal modules is analyzed using the vector loop method, subsequently ascertaining the drive scheme. The foot trajectory compensation curve is generated using the fixed axis rotation contour algorithm, which effectively reduces the centroid fluctuation and enabling seamless switching between wheels and legs. When encountering obstacles, the revolving linkage legs act as climbing arms, facilitating seamless integration of wheel, foot and arm. A physical prototype is developed to test the platform on three typical terrains: flat terrain, slope and vertical obstacle."

    Studies from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne Fur- ther Understanding of Robotics (A Predictive Model for Tactile Force Estimation Using Audio-tactile Data)

    45-45页
    查看更多>>摘要:Data detailed on Robotics have been presented. According to news reporting from Lausanne, Switzerland, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Robust in-hand manipulation of objects with movable content requires estimation and prediction of the contents' motion with enough anticipation to allow time to compensate for resulting internal torques. The quick estimation of the objects' dynamics can be challenging when the objects' motion properties (e.g., type, amount, dynamics) cannot be observed visually due to robot occlusions or opacity of the container." Financial support for this research came from European Research Council by the CHIST-ERA program. The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, "This can be further complicated by the computational requirements of onboard hardware available for real-time processing and control for robotics. In this work, we develop a simple learning framework that uses echo state networks to predict the torques experienced on the robotic hand with enough anticipation to allow for adaptive controls and sufficient efficiency for real-time prediction without GPU processing. We demonstrate the efficacy of this formulation for tactile force prediction on the Allegro robotic hand with a Tekscan tactile skin using both material-specific and material-agnostic learned models. We show that while both are effective, the material-specific models show an improvement in accuracy due to the difference in inertial properties between the different materials. We also develop a prediction model that uses audio feedback to augment the tactile predictions. We show that adding auditory feedback improves the prediction error, though it significantly increases the computation cost of the model."

    New Robotics Findings Has Been Reported by Investigators at Uni- versity College London (UCL) (Real-time Terrain Anomaly Percep- tion for Safe Robot Locomotion Using a Digital Double Framework)

    46-46页
    查看更多>>摘要:Researchers detail new data in Robotics. According to news reporting out of London, United Kingdom, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Digital twinning systems are effective tools to test and develop new robotic capabilities before applying them in the real world. This work presents a real-time digital double framework that improves and facilitates robot perception of the environment." Financial support for this research came from Singapore government's Research, Innovation and Enter- prise 2025 Plan (RIE2025). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from University College London (UCL), "Soft or non-rigid terrains can cause locomotion failures, while visual perception alone is often insufficient to assess the physical properties of such surfaces. To tackle this problem we employ the proposed framework to estimate ground collapsibility through physical interactions while the robot is dynamically walking on challenging terrains. We extract discrepancy information between the two systems, a simulated digital double that is synchronized with real robot, both using exactly the same physical model and locomotion controller. The discrepancy in sensor measurements between the real robot and its digital double serves as a critical indicator of anomalies between expected and actual motion and is utilized as input to a learning-based model for terrain collapsibility analysis. The performance of the collapsibility estimation was evaluated in variety of real-world scenarios involving flat, inclined, elevated, and outdoor terrains."

    Findings on Robotics Detailed by Investigators at Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST) (Visional Grasping Control of Robot Based On Qr Code)

    47-48页
    查看更多>>摘要:Investigators publish new report on Robotics. According to news originating from Nanjing, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "Positioning and grasping objects are a necessary skill for service robots. This research proposes a monocular visual location method based on QR code for service robots in an indoor environment by service robots." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Nanjing University of Information Science and Technology (NUIST), "This method utilizes the unique geometric features of QR codes and can fast realize the spatial location of an object with high accuracy. Furthermore, the NAO robot's arm is kinematical modelled by the DH parameters, and then find the inverse kinematic solution to accomplish the grasping task according to the location of an object. Due to the buffer of robot very limit and the real time required, some in-depth mathematical connotations with complicated calculation and deep learning are impossible, so the QR code algorithm for the visional grasping is useful in order to let robot to response quickly."
