According to news reporting from Huainan, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "In order to solve the problem of the in sufficient adaptability of the current small- and medium-sized casting sorting r obot gripper, we have designed a casting sorting robot bionic gripper with rigid -flexible coupling structures based on the robot topology theory. The second-ord er Yeoh model was used to statically model the clamping belt in the gripper to d erive the relationship between the external input air pressure and the bending a ngle of the driving layer, and the feasibility of multiangle bending of the driv ing layer was verified by finite element analysis." Financial support for this research came from Natural Science Foundation of Anhu i Province. The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from the Anhui Univer sity of Science and Technology, "The maximum gripping diameter of the gripper is 140 mm, and in order to test the adaptive gripping ability of the gripper, a pr ototype of the casting sorting robot gripper is prepared, and the pneumatic cont rol system and human-machine interface of the gripper are designed. After severa l experimental analyses, the designed casting sorting robot gripper is character ized by strong adaptability and high robustness, with a maximum load capacity of 930 g and a maximum wrap angle of 296 degrees, which can complete the gripping operation within 1 s, and the comprehensive gripping success rate reaches 96.4% ."

    Findings from Huaiyin Institute of Technology in the Area of Computational Intel ligence Described (Feature Autonomous Screening and Sequence Integration Network for Medical Image Classification)

    查看更多>>摘要:Investigators discuss new findings in Machine Learning-Computational Intelligence. According to news reporting out o f Huai'an, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx editors, research stated, "This article proposes a feature self-selection and sequence integration network, nam ely FASSI-Net, for medical image classification, which can extract representativ e deep features and contextual semantic information. In this network, FASSI-Net uses a new feature selection and integration module (FSIM) to compress the depth features, which uses a sequence model to replace the Flatten layer." Our news journalists obtained a quote from the research from the Huaiyin Institu te of Technology, "This strategy introduces two sets of multi-scale convolutions , where a cross-attention mechanism assigns two sets of weights (i.e., vertical and horizontal weights) to each convolution. We then calculate the Euclidean dis tance between different scale feature points to measure the correlation between them. Specifically, the feature points are divided into useful features and redu ndant features. In addition, a feature dimension compression (CRI) module is con structed to reconstruct the redundant feature structure, and the residual struct ure is used to extract the representative features from the redundant features. Meantime, a sequence model is introduced to compress the deep features and obtai n the context relationship between feature points."

    Findings from Shandong University Broaden Understanding of Robotics (Flingflow: Llm-driven Dynamic Strategies for Efficient Cloth Flattening)

    108-109页
    查看更多>>摘要:Investigators publish new report on Ro botics. According to news reporting originating from Jinan, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx correspondents, research stated, "The proficiency of robots in cloth manipulation is crucial for their potential widespread deployment in hous ehold service contexts, with the task of unfolding cloth being particularly indi spensable. Unlike rigid objects, cloth has a high-dimensional state space, which poses significant challenges for robotic operations." Funders for this research include High speed and high precision industrial robot , National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC), Meituan Academy of Roboti cs Shenzhen. Our news editors obtained a quote from the research from Shandong University, "T his paper presents a robotic framework that integrates dynamic and static operat ions for cloth unfolding. Dynamic operations are introduced in a single-arm scen ario, employing gravity to expedite flattening. Initially, we define the classif ication of cloth states and operational skills. Subsequently, in skill selection , a Large Language Model (LLM) is utilized to make decisions based on the curren t state, selecting skills appropriate for the given situation. For the determina tion of operation points, a cloth region segmentation network extracts key featu res of the cloth, and the final operation points are determined through geometri c analysis of the masks. Experiments on a real robot demonstrate that our method can successfully unfold cloths of various initial conditions, colors, sizes, te xtures, shapes and materials, achieving over 95$\ %$ coverage-defined as the ratio of the current are a of the fabric to its fully expanded area-thereby proving the effectiveness o f the combined dynamic and static operation strategy."

    New Research on Machine Learning from Satbayev University Summarized (Using Pseu do-Color Maps and Machine Learning Methods to Estimate Long-Term Salinity of Soi ls)

    109-110页
    查看更多>>摘要:A new study on artificial intelligence is now available. According to news reporting out of Almaty, Kazakhstan, by New sRx editors, research stated, "Soil salinity assessment methods based on remote sensing data are a common topic of scientific research. However, the developed m ethods, as a rule, estimate relatively small areas of the land surface at certai n moments of the season, tied to the timing of ground surveys." Funders for this research include Committee of Science of The Ministry of Scienc e And Higher Education of The Republic of Kazakhstan. Our news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Satbayev Univers ity: "Considerable variability of weather conditions and the state of the earth surface makes it difficult to assess the salinity level with the help of remote sensing data and to verify it within a year. At the same time, the assessment of salinity on the basis of multiyear data allows reducing the level of seasonal f luctuations to a considerable extent and revealing the statistically stable char acteristics of cultivated areas of land surface. Such an approach allows, in our opinion, the processes of mapping the salinity of large areas of cultivated lan ds to be automated considerably. The authors propose an approach to assess the s alinization of cultivated and non-cultivated soils of arid zones on the basis of long-term averaged values of vegetation indices and salinity indices. This appr oach allows revealing the consistent relationships between the characteristics o f spectral indices and salinization parameters. Based on this approach, this pap er presents a mapping method including the use of multiyear data and machine lea rning algorithms to classify soil salinity levels in one of the regions of South Kazakhstan."

According to news reporting origina ting in Harbin, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stat ed, "The low positioning accuracy of industrial robots limits their application in industry. Vision-based kinematic calibration, known for its rapid processing and economic efficiency, is an effective solution to enhance this accuracy." Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundati on of China (NSFC), Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities, Pos tdoctoral Fellowship Program of CPSF. The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the Harbin Institute of Technology, "However, most of these methods are constrained by the camera's f ield of view, limiting their effectiveness in large workspaces. This paper propo ses a novel calibration framework composed of monocular vision and computer visi on techniques using ArUco markers. Firstly, a robot positioning error model was established by considering the kinematic error based on the Modified Denavit-Har tenberg model. Subsequently, a calibrated camera was used to create an ArUco map as an alternative to traditional single calibration targets. The map was constr ucted by stitching images of ArUco markers with unique identifiers, and its accu racy was enhanced through closed-loop detection and global optimization that min imizes reprojection errors. Then, initial hand-eye parameters were determined, f ollowed by acquiring the robot's end-effector pose through the ArUco map. The Le venberg-Marquardt algorithm was employed for calibration, involving iterative re finement of hand-eye and kinematic parameters. Finally, experimental validation was conducted on the KUKA kr500 industrial robot, with laser tracker measurement s as the reference standard."

    查看更多>>摘要:024 OCT 08 (NewsRx)-By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News-Research findings on Robotics are discussed in a new report. According to news reporting originating in Wuhan, People's Republic of China, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, "Existing literature on the ro botic disassembly line balancing problem often assume that robots are always in good working condition. But in fact, due to the inevitable aging of the machines , robots may break down unexpectedly." Financial supporters for this research include National Natural Science Foundati on of China (NSFC), China Scholarship Council. The news reporters obtained a quote from the research from the Wuhan University of Technology, "And the original task assignment would become infeasible, which may lead to unplanned shutdowns of the disassembly line. To tackle this situatio n, a partial multi-robotic disassembly line balancing problem considering preven tive maintenance scenarios (PMRDLBP-PM) is proposed. The objectives of the PMRDL BP-PM not only encompass the traditional goals of robotic disassembly line balan cing problem, such as cycle time and disassembly profitability, but also take in to account the potential additional time and cost incurred from the reconfigurat ion of workstations necessitated by changes in task allocation. Then, a multipo pulation cooperative coevolution artificial bee colony (MPCCABC) algorithm is de veloped. Specifically, to enhance the quality of the initial population and ensu re population diversity, the population is divided into four subpopulations, inc luding three high-quality subpopulations generated by heuristic rules based on o ptimization objectives, and one randomly generated subpopulation. And an adaptiv e progressive neighborhood search strategy is proposed to improve search efficie ncy by adjusting the complexity of neighborhood operations based on search feedb ack. Moreover, a cooperative co-evolution strategy with historical information i s adopted to supplement historical optimal information in subpopulation informat ion exchange, increasing computing resource utilization and accelerating converg ence speed. Finally, three instances are conducted to test the validity of the p roposed model and algorithm."
