Unmeasurable velocities and noise amplification by numerical differentiators are difficult problems for crane *** this paper,an adaptive controller,without velocity feedback,is proposed for 3-D ship-mounted cranes to achieve swing suppression and accurate boom positioning. Auxiliary variables are designed to substitute for velocities that cannot be obtained directly. Additionally,bounded functions are utilized to constrain the input torque for safety. The stability of the control system is rigorously proven using Lyapunov's method. Furthermore,simulations validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Autonomous vehicles rely on accurate trajectory prediction to inform decision-making processes related to navigation and collision avoidance. However, current trajectory prediction models show signs of overfitting, wh...

The coverage path planning(CPP) for complex three-dimensional(3 D) surfaces is one of the challenging problems in the field of path *** this paper,we propose a dual-robot collaborative coverage path planning method based on a 2.5-dimensional(2.5 D)grid map to address the CPP problem for complex ***,to effectively describe the CPP problem for complex surfaces,we establish a new model called the Generalized Traveling Salesman Problem(GTSP).Secondly,we develop a 2.5 D grid map that better conforms to the shape of complex surfaces by preserving their height ***,an adaptive Vertex Reward-based Coverage Path Planning(VR-CPP) algorithm is proposed to solve GTSP,which can achieve a coverage path with shorter length,fewer transitions,and lower robot energy *** tests are carried out on complex surface and the results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

The soft continuum arm has extensive application in industrial production and human life due to its superior safety and flexibility. Reinforcement learning is a powerful technique for solving soft arm continuous control problems, which can learn an effective control policy with an unknown system model. However, it is often affected by the high sample complexity and requires huge amounts of data to train, which limits its effectiveness in soft arm control. An improved policy gradient method, policy gradient integrating long and short-term rewards denoted as PGLS, is proposed in this paper to overcome this issue. The shortterm rewards provide more dynamic-aware exploration directions for policy learning and improve the exploration efficiency of the algorithm. PGLS can be integrated into current policy gradient algorithms, such as deep deterministic policy gradient(DDPG). The overall control framework is realized and demonstrated in a dynamics simulation environment. Simulation results show that this approach can effectively control the soft arm to reach and track the targets. Compared with DDPG and other model-free reinforcement learning algorithms, the proposed PGLS algorithm has a great improvement in convergence speed and performance. In addition, a fluid-driven soft manipulator is designed and fabricated in this paper, which can verify the proposed PGLS algorithm in real experiments in the future.

The cutting quality of intersecting lines can be affected by cutting model and cutting process. To improve that, this paper builds a round pipe-intersecting cutting model connected by branch pipe internally without groove according to the principle of intersecting, and it uses the smooth transition algorithm for the cutting start point to avoid the generation of cutting gaps. Finally, the model's trajectory planning algorithm is verified through robot simulation experiments. The result shows that this method can improve the cutting quality by the established model and has good significance in reality.
