According to news reporting originating from Tunis,Tunisia, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Rehabilitation devices su ch as actuated exoskeletons can provide mobility assistance for patients sufferi ng from paralysis or muscle weakness." The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Laboratory of Robotic s: "In order to improve the well-being of patients, the control design of exoske letons is of paramount importance and highest priority. In this paper, we presen t a sliding reinforcement learning (RL) method control for an upper-limb exoskel eton, enabling it to learn following a desired trajectory in the Cartesian space . The deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) using an actor-critic architectu re is employed to continuously adjust the non-singular terminal sliding mode con trol (NSTSMC) control inputs, based on previous experiences. The designed actor network learns the policy and the critic evaluates the quality of the actions ch osen by the actor. The robustness of the proposed approach is studied when the s ystem is subjected to random disturbances. The simulation results demonstrate th at the proposed approach based on the RL method effectively fulfills exoskeleton tracking tasks."

In this le tter, we first establish a deformation model for OC-PNSAs. We demonstrate that t he OC-PNSA bends around the inclined wall upon inflation, thereby revealing the mechanism of its helical deformation. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the helic al bending angle of the OC-PNSA is equal to the bending angle of the PNSA with t he same dimensions. Therefore, the existing PNSA bending model can be applied to OC-PNSAs. Additionally, considering the coupling effects of the symmetric obliq ue chambers, we develop a deformation model for SOC-PNSAs based on the OC-PNSA m odel and the principle of equivalent effects. Both experiments and simulations v alidate the theoretical model's accuracy in predicting actuator deformation."

    Study Data from Guangdong University of Technology Update Knowledge of Computati onal Intelligence (A Novel Hypercomplex Graph Convolution Refining Mechanism)

According to news reporting originating from Guangzhou, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research s tated, "Hypercomplex graph convolutions with higher hypercomplex dimensions can extract more complex features in graphs and features with varying levels of comp lexity are suited for different situation. However, existing hypercomplex graph neural networks have a constraint that they can only carry out hypercomplex grap h convolutions in a predetermined and unchangeable dimension." Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundati on of China (NSFC), Science and Technology Development Fund of Macau SAR, Guangd ong Basic and Applied Basic Research Foundation, Key Areas Research and Developm ent Program of Guangzhou, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Cyber-Physical System. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the Guangdong University of Technology, "To address this limitation, this paper presents a solution to overcome this limitation by introducing the FFT-based Adaptive Fourier hypercomp lex graph convolution filtering mechanism (FAF mechanism), which can adaptively select hypercomplex graph convolutions with the most appropriate dimensions for different situations by projecting the outputs from all candidate hypercomplex g raph convolutions to the frequency domain and selecting the one with the highest energy via the FFT-based Adaptive Fourier Decomposition. Meanwhile, we apply th e FAF mechanism to our proposed hypercomplex high-order interaction graph neural network (HHG-Net), which performs high-order interaction and strengthens intera ction features through quantum graph hierarchical attention module and feature i nteraction gated graph convolution. During convolution filtering, the FAF mechan ism projects the outputs from different candidate hypercomplex graph convolution s to the frequency domain, extracts their energy, and selects the convolution th at outputs the largest energy. After that, the model with selected hypercomplex graph convolutions is trained again. Our method outperforms many benchmarks, inc luding the model with hypercomplex graph convolutions selected by DARTS, in node classification, graph classification, and text classification."

According to news reporting originating from Beijing, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "Hyperspectral im aging (HSI), a promising technique integrating imaging and spectroscopy, can hel p sort iron ores with different total iron (TFe) contents. However, the adhesion of dust (caused by crushing) or water can affect the sorting process." Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundati on of China (NSFC), Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from the China University of Mining and Technology Beijing, "Currently, the mechanisms underlying this influ ence and methods to conveniently mitigate it remain unclear, hindering the pract ical application of HSI-based sorting. This study aimed to investigate this issu e. For the experimental materials, 300 ore samples (particle size: 20-40 mm) wit h different TFe contents were prepared. Subsequently, three sample conditions we re prepared (‘No dust, no water', ‘With dust, no water' and ‘No dust, with water ') through washing and drying measures, and their hyperspectral images were acqu ired (953-2517 nm). Finally, the TFe content of each ore sample was measured. Af ter preprocessing, the effects of water and dust on the spectra and sorting proc ess were initially analyzed. Subsequently, a new spectral differential feature c onsidering dust and water (DFDW) was proposed to mitigate this influence. Then, using the spectral and calculated proportion features as input, different grades of iron ore were classified into four classes using a machine learning classifi er. For validation, models using several different input features and machine le arning classifiers were tested for classification accuracy (the ratio of correct ly predicted instances to the total number of predictions). On ‘No dust, no wate r', ‘With dust, no water' and ‘No dust, with water' data, the model DFDW-random forest (RF) achieved accuracies of 87.7 %, 85.0 %, and 85.3 %, respectively, which was optimal."
