According to news originating fromSapporo, Japan, by NewsRx corresp ondents, research stated, “With the progression of an aging society,the importa nce of walking assistance technology has been increasing.”Funders for this research include Jst Spring.The news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Hokkaido University : “The researchand development of robotic walkers for individuals requiring wal king support are advancing. However,there was a problem that the conventional c onstant support amount did not satisfy the propulsion forcerequired for the wal king speed that users wanted. In this study, in order to solve this problem, we proposean algorithm for determining the support amount to maintain the walking speed when the average walkingspeed of each user is set as the target speed. A robotic walker was developed by attaching BLDC motorsto an actual walker, along with a control algorithm for assistance based on sampling-type PID control.The effectiveness of the assistance determination algorithm and the usefulness of t he parameters weredemonstrated through experiments using weights loaded on the forearm support and target speeds.”

According to newsoriginating from Beijing, People’s Rep ublic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “Thecomposition of o xide glasses is characterized by high dimensionality and sparsity, making it cha llengingto establish high-precision predictive models. Therefore, feature extra ction is essential.”Financial support for this research came from National Key Research & Development Program of China.Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from China Iron and Stee l Research InstituteGroup, “This study focuses on the optical properties of oxi de glasses (refractive index and Abbe number),utilizing autoencoder (AE) and ma chine learning techniques to achieve automated feature extraction.The results i ndicate that compared to standalone neural networks (NN), AE-NN transforms unsup ervisedlearning into supervised learning, reducing feature dimensions while imp roving model accuracy. Specifically,for the refractive index dataset, the dimen sionality was reduced from 63 to 25, with a corresponding testset coefficient o f determination (R2) of 0.95. For the Abbe number dataset, the dimensionality wa sreduced from 61 to 30, with a corresponding test set R2 of 0.97, demonstrating the effectiveness of thefeature extraction method. Regarding interpretability, analyzing the encoder weight matrix of the AE-NNidentified the importance of o riginal features, with Co and Y being the most significant for both refractivei ndex and Abbe number. Additionally, the application of the feature extraction me thod in machinelearning models shows its generality in improving model performa nce, particularly for nonensemble modelssuch as Support Vector Regression (SVR) or k-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), exhibiting significant accuracyenhancements.”

According to news originatingfrom Harbin, People’s Republic of C hina, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, “It is essentialto efficiently perform collision detection for robotic manipulators obstacle-avoidance plannin g. Existingmethods are excellent when manipulator links are simple and obstacle s are convex.”Financial supporters for this research include Natural Science Foundations of Ch ina; Yunnan PowerGrid Company.The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Harbin Institute of T echnology: “Butthey cannot keep the accuracy and the efficiency at the same tim e when manipulator links or obstaclesare nonconvex. To decrease the computing t ime and keep a high accuracy, this article presents a collisiondetection method based on point clouds and stretched primitives (PCSP). In traditional methods, obstaclesare often represented either by a convex body or enormous amounts of p oints. But this needs a trade-offbetween the accuracy and the computing time wh en obstacles are concave. In the proposed method, werepresent obstacles and com plex manipulator links as stretched geometric bodies while simple manipulatorli nks are enclosed by capsules with different sizes. The stretched body is constru cted by the original pointcloud from sensors but it only requires a small numbe r of points to approximate the original object.”

According to news reportingfrom Parma, Italy, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “Buildings are complex assets, characterized byen vironments and uses that change over time, variable occupancies, and long life c ycles.”The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from University of Parma: “They have highoperational costs, mostly due to their energy requirements, and account for 30% to 40% of global greenhousegas emis sions. Consequently, substantial effort has been made to forecast their energy n eeds, withthe scope of optimizing their economic and environmental impact. In t his regard, the available literaturefocuses mainly on short-term modeling throu gh the implementation of sets of physics-based equations (i.e.,white-box), func tional relationships between input and output variables (i.e., black-box), or a combinationof both (i.e., grey-box). On the other hand, more research is requir ed on long-term forecast models withthe aim of reducing the energy needs. Withi n this context, this article presents an original automaticprocedure for foreca sting the energy needs of buildings in short- and long-term time horizons. This isaccomplished by scaling an unknown facility from a similar facility that is a lready known and by executinga black-box approach based on machine learning alg orithms.”

According to news reportingfrom Tamil Nadu, India, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “The construction of the solar air heater(SAH) sy stem is associated with enhancing the absorber plates’ surface area through the incorporationof V-corrugation, shot-blasting processes, nano-coated, and black pebble stone (BPS) integration. Shotblasting (SB) is a surface treatment proces s that impacts the bombarding of the surface with high-speedabrasive particles. ”Financial support for this research came from Deputyship for Research and Innova tion, Ministry ofEducation in Saudi Arabia.The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the SRM Institut e of Science andTechnology, “After the SB process, the surface is coated with a ctivated carbon (AC)-based nanomaterialsdispersed in matt paint. The augmented contact area owing to the roughened and corrugated absorberplate allows more he at to be transferred to the air and subsequently to the BPS. BPS can impact as athermal mass, storing grasped heat and releasing it slowly, which helps preserv e a consistent temperatureand enhances the overall efficiency of the SAH. This augmented absorption capacity permits the plate toefficiently transfer the abso rbed heat to the black pebble stones. In this study, experimental findings arec ompared with machine learning (ML) models to evaluate the thermal transfer effic iency of conventionaland surface-modified absorbers in the SAH system. The expe rimental data is subjected to predictionusing diverse ML techniques, namely ran dom forest regression (RFR), linear regression (LR), and supportvector regressi on (SVR). By comparing the experimental results with predictions from LR, RFR, a nd SVRmodels, the study effectively evaluates the impacts of surface modificati ons and BPS incorporations onthe SAH thermal efficiency. The efficacy of the ML -based thermal efficiency and ‘Nu’ models is comparedusing mean squared error a nd root mean squared error. Amongst the algorithms estimated, LR, RFR,and SVR p roduced the highest correlation coefficient of 0.997, 0.993, 0.972 for conventio nal SAH and0.9976, 0.999, and 0.975 for SAH in estimating the ‘Nu’, respectivel y.”
