    Studies from China University of Mining and Technology Yield New Data on Robotic s (Spatial Localization of a Transformer Robot Based on Ultrasonic Signal Wavele t Decomposition and PHAT-b-g Generalized Cross Correlation)

    76-77页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators discuss new findings in robotics. According to news reporting originating from Xuzhou, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Because large oil-immerse d transformers are enclosed by a metal shell, the on-site localization means it is difficult to achieve the accurate location of the patrol micro-robot inside a given transformer." Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundati on of China; Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province. The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from China University of M ining and Technology: "To address this issue, a spatial ultrasonic localization method based on wavelet decomposition and PHATb- g generalized cross correlation is proposed in this paper. The method is carried out with a five-element stereo ultrasonic array for the location of a transformer patrol robot. Firstly, the l ocalization signal is decomposed into wavelet coefficients of different scales, which would realize the adaptive decomposition of the frequency of the localizat ion signal from low frequencies to high frequencies. Then, the wavelet coefficie nts are denoised and reconstructed by using the semi-soft threshold function. Se cond, a modified phase transform-beta-gamma (PHAT-b-g) method is used to calcula te the exact time delay between different sensors by increasing the weights of t he PHAT weighting function and introducing a correlation function."

    Researchers from National Technical University of Athens Publish Findings in Mac hine Learning (The MLDAR Model: Machine Learning-Based Denoising of Structural R esponse Signals Generated by Ambient Vibration)

    80-81页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Data detailed on artificial intelligen ce have been presented. According to news reporting originating from Athens, Gre ece, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Engineers have consistently pri oritized the maintenance of structural serviceability and safety. Recent strides in design codes, computational tools, and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) ha ve sought to address these concerns." Funders for this research include Imsfare Project "advanced Information Modellin g For Safer Structures Against Manmade Hazards". Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from National Technical University of Athens: "On the other hand, the burgeoning application of machine learning (ML) techniques across diverse domains has been noteworthy. This resear ch proposes the combination of ML techniques with SHM to bridge the gap between high-cost and affordable measurement devices. A significant challenge associated with lowcost instruments lies in the heightened noise introduced into recorded data, particularly obscuring structural responses in ambient vibration (AV) mea surements. Consequently, the obscured signal within the noise poses challenges f or engineers in identifying the eigenfrequencies of structures. This article con centrates on eliminating additive noise, particularly electronic noise stemming from sensor circuitry and components, in AV measurements. The proposed MLDAR (Ma chine Learning-based Denoising of Ambient Response) model employs a neural netwo rk architecture, featuring a denoising autoencoder with convolutional and upsamp ling layers. The MLDAR model undergoes training using AV response signals from v arious Single- Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) oscillators. These SDOFs span the 1-10 Hz frequency band, encompassing low, medium, and high eigenfrequencies, with their accuracy forming an integral part of the model's evaluation. The results are pr omising, as AV measurements in an image format after being submitted to the trai ned model become free of additive noise."

According to news reporting out of Guanghan, People's Republic of Ch ina, by NewsRx editors, the research stated, "The prediction of flight delays is one of the important and challenging issues in the field of scheduling and plan ning flights by airports and airlines. Therefore, in recent years, we have witne ssed various methods to solve this problem using machine learning techniques." Financial support for this research came from This work was supported by: Resear ch on Smart Methods of Civil Aviation Regulatory Audit. Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Civil Aviation Flight University of China, "In this article, a new method is proposed to addres s these issues. In the proposed method, a group of potential indicators related to flight delay is introduced, and a combination of ANOVA and the Forward Sequen tial Feature Selection (FSFS) algorithm is used to determine the most influentia l indicators on flight delays. To overcome the challenges related to large fligh t data volumes, a clustering strategy based on the DBSCAN algorithm is employed. In this approach, samples are clustered into similar groups, and a separate lea rning model is used to predict flight delays for each group. This strategy allow s the problem to be decomposed into smaller sub-problems, leading to improved pr ediction system performance in terms of accuracy (by 2.49%) and pro cessing speed (by 39.17%). The learning model used in each cluster is a novel structure based on a random forest, where each tree component is opti mized and weighted using the Coyote Optimization Algorithm (COA). Optimizing the structure of each tree component and assigning weighted values to them results in a minimum 5.3% increase in accuracy compared to the conventiona l random forest model. The performance of the proposed method in predicting flig ht delays is tested and compared with previous research."

According to news reporting from Shihezi, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "In order to improve the flight efficiency of a flying-walking power transmission line inspection robot (FPTLIR) during fl ight missions, an accurate energy consumption model is constructed, and a multio bjective optimization approach using the improved NSGA-II is proposed to address the high energy consumption and long execution time." Financial supporters for this research include Financial Science And Technology Program of The Xpcc; National Natural Science Foundation of China. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Shihezi University: "Th e energy consumption model is derived from the FPTLIR kinematics to the motor dy namics, with the key parameters validated using a test platform. A multiobjectiv e optimization model is proposed that considers many constraints related to the FPTLIR during missions, offering a comprehensive analysis of the energy consumpt ion and execution time. The NSGA-II algorithm is improved by integrating the Cau chy variation operator and the simulated annealing algorithm, which is used to c onstruct the multiobjective optimization approach. Simulation and experimental r esults demonstrate that the proposed model accurately predicts the energy consum ption of the FPTLIR across different paths and flight conditions with an average relative error ranging from 0.76% to 3.24%. After op timization, energy savings of 5.33% and 5.01% are ac hieved for on-line and off-line missions, respectively, while maintaining the sh ortest execution time at the given energy level."
