According to news reporting out of Nanjing, People's Rep ublic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "Groundwater Contaminant Sou rce Identification (GCSI) is important for addressing environmental concerns. Cu rrently, it is widely achieved using the Simulation/Optimization (S/O) method." Financial supporters for this research include National Key Research & Development Program of China, National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC ). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from Hohai University, " However, the utilization of optimization techniques may cause high computation c osts and parameter equifinality issues. We introduce two innovative GCSI methods,Direct Forward Machine Learning (DFML) and One-Hot Machine Learning (OHML), ut ilizing the classical Artificial Neuro Network (ANN) model in the machine learni ng field. Both new methods eliminate the need for an optimization algorithm in G CSI, thus reducing the construction effort and improving efficiency. The first m ethod, DFML can directly estimate eight parameters, providing valuable insights into the contaminant location, release history, and aquifer properties. The seco nd method, OHML can estimate the spatial probability distribution of the contami nant location through one-hot encoding, addressing uncertainties in the contamin ant source location estimations realized by DFML. Evaluations demonstrate that b oth methods exhibit satisfying performances. DFML can estimate contaminant locat ion and aquifer properties with high accuracy; and estimate the release history information with moderate accuracy. The OHML correctly assigns the higher contam inant probabilities to regions containing true contaminant locations. The combin ation of DFML and OHML offers a comprehensive framework."

    Reports from Wuhan University of Technology Highlight Recent Findings in Robotic s (Obstacle Avoidance Planning for Industrial Robots Based On Singular Manifold Splitting Configuration Space)

    126-126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 Robotics have been pr esented. According to news originating from Wuhan, People's Republic of China, b y NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Obstacle avoidance planning is the pr imary element in ensuring safe robot applications such as welding, assembly, and drilling. The states in the configuration space (C-space) provide the pose info rmation of any part of the manipulator and are preferentially considered in moti on planning." Financial support for this research came from National Natural Science Foundatio n of China (NSFC). Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Wuhan University of Technology, "However, it is difficult to express the environmental informat ion directly in the high dimensional C-space, limiting the application of C-spac e obstacle avoidance planning. This paper proposes a singular manifold splitting C-space method and designs a compatible obstacle avoidance strategy. The specif ic method is as follows: first, according to the specific structure of industria l robots, arm-wrist separation obstacle avoidance planning is proposed to fix th e robot as a 3R manipulator to reduce the dimension of C-space. Next, the C-spac e is segmented according to the singular manifolds, and the unique domain is del ineated to complete the streamlining of the volume of the C-space. Then, with th e help of the point cloud, the obstacles are enveloped and mapped to the unique domain to construct the pseudo-obstacle map. Industrial robots' obstacle avoidan ce planning is completed based on the pseudo-obstacle map combined with an impro ved Rapidly-Exploring Random Trees (RRT) algorithm. This method dramatically imp roves the efficiency of obstacle avoidance planning in the C-space and avoids th e effect of singularities on industrial robots."

Topography, geology, and hyd rological factors including glaciers and snow cover were used in these models to assess the DFS. Results show that 21 % to 42 % of t he study area is very high susceptible to debris flows, particularly from Ranwu to Bomi and around Namcha Barwa. The hybrid models effectively enhance the accur acy of the DFS assessments. The CF-RF model showed the greatest improvement, wit h an 8.4 % increase in accuracy compared to the single model, the DFS spatial distribution of which aligns closely with field survey results. The glacial area ratio and annual snowmelt positively impact DFS accuracy, ranking 2 nd and 9th in the factor importance, respectively."

According to news reporting originating in Turin, Italy, by NewsRx j ournalists, research stated, "The present study investigates the best seismic pa rameters for modeling the dynamic response of various nonlinear structural syste ms by comparing different Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. A total of 400 synth etic excitations were generated and analyzed against 23 seismic parameters." Financial support for this research came from European Union-Next Generation E U. The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Polytechnic University Torino, "These signals were used in a step-by-step numerical analysis to calcu late the dynamic responses of 1000 singledegree- of-freedom (SDOF) systems with varying mechanical properties. The data obtained from these responses were proce ssed using 20 ML algorithms, including linear regression, tree, support vector m achine (SVM), boosted and bagged trees, and artificial neural network (ANN). Eac h ML algorithm used a single seismic parameter as input to determine the most pr edictive parameters for modeling structural responses, defining the high predict ive seismic parameters (HPSP) set. To validate the obtained results, the most ef fective model predictions have been compared with the results of the parametric step-by-step analyses performed for a new group of natural ground motions. The f indings demonstrate that with a properly calibrated training phase, considering the specific site hazard and selecting seismic parameters from the HPSP set, the ML model can accurately estimate seismic responses whit a significantly reduced computational effort."

Lastly, to improve operational accuracy and reliability, a novel compound control strategy containing collisio n force feedforward and PD feedback is carried out. It is compared with the trad itional PD control strategy. Also, the sensitivity and robustness of the propose d compound control strategies are discussed. The results show that the proposed control strategy can effectively enhance the dynamics precision and reliability of the robotic arm, with satisfactory robustness."
