Confronted with technological bottlenecks, le veraging emerging technologies such as industrial robots from the new round of s cientific and technological revolutions to improve the green total factor energy efficiency (GTFEE) is of critical importance to China's green development. This study explores the potential impact of industrial robots on enhancing China's G TFEE. It begins by reviewing the current research landscape in this field, highl ighting its shortcomings, and theorizing potential impact pathways of industrial robots. Subsequently, the paper analyzes data from 2010 to 2019 on the usage of industrial robots and GTFEE across 276 cities at the prefectural level or above in China. Through empirical regression models that incorporate control variable s and interaction terms, the study investigates the specific impacts of industri al robots on energy efficiency and their mechanisms of action. The results indic ate that industrial robots significantly enhance the GTFEE of Chinese cities, es pecially in the Northeastern region. Industrial robots notably improve the GTFEE in resource-based cities, old industrial bases, and low-carbon pilot cities."

According to news reporting from Beijin g, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "This stu dy aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a machine learning model (ML m odel) to train junior ophthalmologists in detecting preclinical keratoconus (PKC ). A total of 1,334 corneal topography images (The Pentacam HR system) from 413 keratoconus eyes, 32 PKC eyes and 222 normal eyes were collected." The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Peking Union Med ical College Hospital, "Five junior ophthalmologists were trained and annotated the images with or without the suggestions proposed by the ML model. The diagnos tic performance of PKC was evaluated among three groups: junior ophthalmologist group (control group), ML model group and ML model-training junior ophthalmologi st group (test group). The accuracy of the ML model between the eyes of patients with KC and NEs in all three clinics (99% accuracy, area under th e receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve AUC of 1.00, 99 % s ensitivity, 99% specificity) was higher than that for Belin-Ambr & oacute;sio enhanced ectasia display total deviation (BAD-D) (86% a ccuracy, AUC of 0.97, 97% sensitivity, 69% specifici ty). The accuracy of the ML model between eyes with PKC and NEs in all three cli nics (98% accuracy, AUC of 0.96, 98% sensitivity, 98 % specificity) was higher than that of BAD-D (69% ac curacy, AUC of 0.73, 67% sensitivity, 69% specificit y). The diagnostic accuracy of PKC was 47.5% (95%CI, 0.5-71.6%), 100% (95%CI, 100-100 % ) and 94.4% (95%CI, 14.7-94.7%) in the c ontrol group, ML model group and test group. With the assistance of the proposed ML model, the diagnostic accuracy of junior ophthalmologists improved with stat istical significance (p <0.05). According to the questionn aire of all the junior ophthalmologists, the average score was 4 (total 5) regar ding to the comprehensiveness that the AI model has been in their keratoconus di agnosis learning; the average score was 4.4 (total 5) regarding to the convenien ce that the AI model has been in their keratoconus diagnosis learning."

    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-New research on Machine Learning is th e subject of a report. According to news reporting originating in Beijing, Peopl e's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Food intake is t he primary pathway for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to enter the huma n body. Once ingested, PAHs tend to accumulate, posing health risks." The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences, "To accurately assess the risk of PAHs from f ood, concentrations of 10 parent PAHs (PPAHs) and 15 substituted PAHs (SPAHs) we re detected across 34 commonly consumed foods. Results indicated that SPAHs conc entrations (3.89-11.6 ng/g dw) were higher than PPAH concentrations (1.66-3.43 n g/g dw) in shrimp and shellfish and freshwater fish. Four machine learning algor ithms were used to predict the bioaccessibility of PAHs in foods, with the rando m forest model performing the best (R =0.987, RMSE=5.99). Feature variable impor tance analysis revealed that lipid and protein contents in food are critical var iables influencing PAH bioaccessibility. Subsequently, the bioaccessibility of 2 5 PAHs in various foods was predicted to explore its impact on health risk asses sment. Consequently, the carcinogenic risks considering bioaccessibility (5.62 x 10-7.12 x 10) was about an order of magnitude lower than that ignoring bioacces sibility (1.52 x 10-1.69 x 10), yet it still exceeded 10, indicating potential c arcinogenic risks. Although PPAHs and alkylated PAHs were predominant in foods, 6-nitrochrysene was the main compound inducing both non-carcinogenic and carcino genic risks owing to its high toxicity."

    New Robotics Data Have Been Reported by Researchers at State University of New Y ork (SUNY) Buffalo (A Variable Stiffness Endof-arm Tooling Mechanism To Enhance Dynamic Task Capabilities of Robotic Manipulators)

    72-72页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Current study results on Robotics have been published. According to news reporting originating in Buffalo, New York, b y NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Variable stiffness end-of-arm actuators can add dynamic manipulation capabilities to stiff manipulators and simultaneous ly enhance safety. The presence of an elastic element in these actuators can be used for absorbing impact energy; or storing energy and utilizing it for perform ing explosive tasks." The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo, "The major challenge with variable stiffness actuato rs is to control their position and stiffness simultaneously to achieve optimal task performance. In this paper, we present an end-of-arm variable stiffness mec hanism (VSM) for performing dynamic tasks. We formulate the task as an optimal c ontrol problem and numerically solve for the task-specific stiffness profile. We demonstrate the usability of the optimization problem in exploiting the dynamic s of the VSM during an explosive hammering task and demonstrate that the time-va rying stiffness profile can store energy and leads to improved task performance. As a result, the hammer attains twice as much velocity with variable stiffness compared to fixed stiffness. The hammering performance is further improved by op timizing task completion time and hammer velocity. Moreover, we demonstrate that the VSM stiffness plays a crucial role in minimizing the impact forces transfer red to the robot."

    Findings from Justus-Liebig-University Giessen in the Area of Machine Learning R eported (Consumer Decisions In Virtual Commerce: Predict Good Help-timing Based On Cognitive Load)

    73-73页
    查看更多>>摘要:By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Researchers detail new data in Machine Learning. According to news originating from Giessen, Germany, by NewsRx corres pondents, research stated, "The retail sector is steadily moving toward virtual commerce (v-commerce), and the process has recently gained momentum. With the la test developments in headset technology and the rise of artificial intelligence, virtual shopping has become relevant for an increasing number of products." Financial support for this research came from German Research Foundation (DFG). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Justus-Liebig-Unive rsity Giessen, "In this article, we present a study that combines consumer behav ior research, eye tracking, electrocardiography, machine learning, and the appli cation of virtual reality. Fifty participants were invited to experience a virtu al scenario, perform multiple mentally demanding tasks, and make a purchase deci sion for a product from one of two different product categories. In a post hoc v ideo analysis based on the first-person view, participants determined different points in time when they would have appreciated help from an algorithmic user as sistance system or a digital human agent. Our statistical analysis suggests that the desired help-timing depends on the product category. For fast-moving consum er goods, algorithmic help was requested particularly early. Furthermore, we col lected eye-tracking and electrocardiographic data to build and evaluate a predic tive classification model that differentiates between three levels of cognitive load. The trained machine learning algorithm aims to classify cognitive load dur ing decision making, which may indicate the right time to offer help."
