In this work, an oxide memristor was utilized for analog computing, which exhibited controllable transitions within its stable resistive states. The memristive ON and OFF states were considered to be logic 1 and logic 0, respectively, whereas the intermediate memristances represent the possible resistive states within the memristive state machine (MSM). This MSM was sprucely tailored to perform tunable edge detection. In contrast to other software based conventional edge detection systems such as Canny, Sobel, and Prewitt, the proposed MSM system performed better with around 8% improvement in accuracy of edge detection. With the level of simplicity and accuracy, the proposed system exhibits potential to be an efficient alternative to the conventional systems for edge detection and laid a concrete path for future low hardware based smart system design due to the suppression of analog-to-digital conversion.

This paper introduces an innovative training system for the Renishaw AM400 metal printer, leveraging the synergy of the advanced vision Language Model (vLM) with Augmented Reality (AR) within the Digital Twins (DT) framework. Aimed at overcoming the limitations of conventional training methods in metal additive manufacturing (AM), our system integrates AR to provide an immersive learning environment, enhancing the real-world experience with interactive digital overlays. The core of the system lies in its use of vLM, which, pre-trained on diverse datasets, excels in processing multi-modal data, thereby offering nuanced and contextually relevant guidance for trainees. Key experiments demonstrate the system's effectiveness, particularly highlighting the usage of vLM as an Artificial Intelligence (AI) agent to integrate external tools like YOLO-v7 for valve state classification and CRAFT for control panel text recognition. This approach significantly improves recognition accuracy, operational understanding, and human-machine interaction, especially for nonexpert users, making complex metal AM operations more accessible. The research not only showcases the potential of AR and vLM in industrial training but also sets a new standard for smart manufacturing practices, indicating broader applications in various industrial domains.

The end effector (gripper) is an important part of a robotic system that is used for industrial and domestic tasks like grasping, carrying, manipulating, assembling, painting, and so on. For handling different types of objects hard as well as soft, require different types of the gripper. The employment of compliant soft-robotic grasping systems, which are characterized by high flexibility in terms of workpiece shape, dimension, and anatomy, is a good method to incorporate greater flexibility into production. The study's major goal is to build and analyses the soft-robotic grippers in terms of repeatability with large payload capacities. End effector (soft gripper) control is crucial for precision work by applying different gripping forces according to the object going to pick. The selection of suitable gripping force for a particular object is done by the process of machine learning (ML). The soft gripper is designed, fabricated, and tested using Industrial Robot (IRB 360) flex picker robot. The virtual environment is created to move the linear path using Robot studio software with rapid programming language. The accuracy, precision, recall, and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) curve are analyzed and predict the gripper force accurately with 94% when compared with experimental value. The gripper is working effectively from 1.4 to 2.8 bars with a maximum payload of 500 g. The soft flexible gripper angle is measured based on the pressure using an imageprocessing edge detection technique. The optimized best possible gripping force is predicted using different objects and control action is done to supply exact force to the gripper.

Tomato commercialization in Mexican and Latin-American markets is economically affected by three main physical aspects of the fruit: ripening time, size, and mass. Digital imageprocessing combined with mathematical models and machine learning approaches allows the development of prediction models to minimize fruit waste, among other applications. Particularly crossed validation, linear and non-linear adjustment by quadratic mean least error approximation, and digital imageprocessing are used to obtain a post-harvest mass loss estimation model based upon the fruit's area. A database for fruit characterization of 97,200 images and mass (kg) and area (cm2) measurement entries over a continuous post-harvest timeline of 54 days was considered in the methodology. Results from the linear (polynomial) adjustment model presented an efficiency of 94.65%, while the non-linear (exponential and potential) adjustment models gave in their turn efficiencies of 99.21 and 99.82%, respectively. It was concluded that the best mass loss estimation model was the potential adjustment one, with an approximation error of just 0.18% between actual and estimated data.

Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality (FIREX-AQ) was a field campaign aimed at better understanding the impact of wildfires and agricultural fires on air quality and climate. The FIREX-AQ campaign took place in August 2019 and involved two aircraft and multiple coordinated satellite observations. This study applied and evaluated a self-supervised machine learning (ML) method for the active fire and smoke plume identification and tracking in the satellite and sub-orbital remote sensing datasets collected during the campaign. Our unique methodology combines remote sensing observations with different spatial and spectral resolutions. With as much as a 10% increase in agreement between our produced masks and high-certainty hand-labeled pixels, relative to evaluated operational products, the demonstrated approach successfully differentiates active fire pixels and smoke plumes from background imagery. This enables the generation of a per-instrument smoke and active fire mask product, as well as smoke and fire masks created from the fusion of selected data from independent instruments. This ML approach has the potential to enhance operational active wildfire monitoring systems and improve decision-making in air quality management through fast smoke plume identification and tracking and could improve climate impact studies through fusion data from independent instruments.

Digital imageprocessing system is a promising technology for obtaining process-related information and well accepted in mineral processing industries as a fast, non-invasive and low-cost tool for quality evaluation of flotation process. The structural, textural and dynamic features of froth surface appearance include vital information about process status, which can be employed as a useful index for the evaluation of the flotation performance. A large number of features extraction techniques have been proposed over the last years and understanding digital imaging and selecting a proper technique for the desired application are very important. The goal of this two-part series is to compile an up-to-date review regarding the most common techniques of features extraction from froth images and to present their major advantages, limitations, and applications in flotation process, with particular focus on prediction of concentrate grade and recovery. Part 1 of this review focusses on the structural features of froth images (bubble shape and size distribution) and the relationship between them and process conditions, while Part 2 presents textural and dynamic features. Also, Part 2 discusses estimation methods of concentrate grade and recovery with the froth surface measurable attributes. This work can make significant contributions toward the development of on-line control systems on the basis of machinevision.

Attention-based neural networks, such as Transformers, have become ubiquitous in numerous applications, including computer vision, natural language processing, and time-series analysis. In all kinds of attention networks, the attention maps are crucial as they encode semantic dependencies between input tokens. However, most existing attention networks perform modeling or reasoning based on representations, wherein the attention maps of different layers are learned separately without explicit interactions. In this paper, we propose a novel and generic evolving attention mechanism, which directly models the evolution of inter-token relationships through a chain of residual convolutional modules. The major motivations are twofold. On the one hand, the attention maps in different layers share transferable knowledge, thus adding a residual connection can facilitate the information flow of inter-token relationships across layers. On the other hand, there is naturally an evolutionary trend among attention maps at different abstraction levels, so it is beneficial to exploit a dedicated convolution-based module to capture this process. Equipped with the proposed mechanism, the convolution-enhanced evolving attention networks achieve superior performance in various applications, including time-series representation, natural language understanding, machine translation, and image classification. Especially on time-series representation tasks, Evolving Attention-enhanced Dilated Convolutional (EA-DC-) Transformer outperforms state-of-the-art models significantly, achieving an average of 17% improvement compared to the best SOTA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the firstwork that explicitly models the layer-wise evolution of attention maps. Our implementation is available at https://***/pkuyym/EvolvingAttention.

Diagnosing plant diseases is a vital issue in maintaining and developing of agricultural products. These diseases occur with changes in the tissue of different parts of plants. While the previous researches have only been conducted on certain species of plants and specific parts, we propose a comprehensive approach that has reached a high accuracy in diagnosing and classifying the disease of offending plant species by examining their different parts, including leaves, fruits, tree trunks, and seeds. We extract features from different layers of pre-trained AlexNet, ResNet50, vGG16, EfficientNetB0, EfficientNetB3 and EfficientNetB7 deep models with a spatial attention module to classify samples with an SvM classifier with RBF kernel. In order to automate the detection of plant diseases by manned or unmanned agricultural machines, our proposed Agry requires only 0.04089 seconds for imageprocessing and decision making in real time. Also, due to the use of transfer learning, the cost of building the proposed model, including time and resources, is minimized. The results of the tests show a significant improvement compared to the previous works, and in most cases the classification is done without errors.
