Integrating large-scale sensors into the network has become a research hotspot for its promising flexibility in monitoring vitally critical wild areas. However, the existing Internet of Things (IoT) systems are limited due to the lack of a stable power supply, which seriously affects the system’s sustainability. The combination of sensors equipped with cordless power batteries and long-distance power transmission has ushered in a new era. Using the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to charge the battery ensures the flexibility and sustainability of the sensor in environmental detection. In this work, we aim to provide a solution for maintaining the sustainability of the sensors while optimizing UAV trajectory to minimize the overall energy consumption of UAV. Since deep reinforcement learning successfully solves the NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem, deep reinforcement learning is introduced in this work to obtain a feasible solution. We formulate the trajectory planning of UAV as a Markov decision problem and employ a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) model based on an attention mechanism to find the optimal policy efficiently, named the optimal trajectory planning algorithm based on DRL (OTPDRL). The experimental results suggest the OTPDRL obtains a good trade-off between performance gain and computational time.
Due to their highly flexible deployment and agility features, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) serving as aerial base stations are increasingly being used in challenging environments, including emergency communication,...

Existing explainability approaches for convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are mainly applied after training (post-hoc) which is generally unreliable. Ante-hoc explainers trained simultaneously with the CNN are more reliable. However, current ante-hoc explanation methods mainly generate inexplicit concept-based explanations tailored to specific tasks. To address these limitations, we propose a task-agnostic ante-hoc framework that can generate interpretation maps to visually explain any CNN. Our framework simultaneously trains the CNN and a weighting network - an explanation generation module. The generated maps are self-explanatory, eliminating the need for manual identification of concepts. We demonstrate that our method can interpret classification, facial landmark detection, and image captioning tasks. We show that our framework is explicit, faithful, and stable through experiments. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ante-hoc CNN explanation strategy that produces visual explanations generic to CNNs for different tasks.

This paper details the integration of augmented reality (AR) in a new factory, focusing on enhancing maintenance efficiency and optimization. The innovative approach involves combining AR technology, an Android application, and Siemens PLCs (Programmable Logic controller), for efficient automation. The robustness of the PLC enables seamless integration within manufacturing environments, accommodating diverse programming paradigms. The software aspect features Human Machine Interface (HMI) configuration using Siemens’ WinCC software, offering dynamic visualizations, alarm handling, and data logging. WinCC’s scalability suits applications of varying sizes. The HMI architecture is designed for easy parameter display. The Android application, developed with Java and Python, leverages their respective strengths in Android app development and image processing. Data exchange is facilitated by OPC-UA, supporting multiple programming languages for seamless communication. The AR Teleassistance is highlighted as a revolutionary solution, fostering real-time communication among global experts, technicians, and operators. Beyond gaming origins, AR teleassistance enhances efficiency in various sectors, minimizing downtime and facilitating global knowledge transfer. The integration of Teleassistance promotes effective collaboration between human expertise and automated systems, crucial for optimal performance in modern industrial settings. Continuous development is suggested through the addition of more 3D mechanical drawings and real-time stock information for parts in the application, aiming for future optimization and performance enhancement.
