This paper describes additions and enhancements we made to the standard RRT-Connect motion planning algorithm to suit the unique needs of operating the robotic arm on the Perseverance Mars Rover. One constraint we have is to maintain a minimum distance between the terrain and any part of the arm hardware. Another goal specific to rover planning is to minimize the number of viapoints in our motion plans. These algorithms should also run efficiently so that rover planners can generate arm motion sequences in time for uplink windows. We applied the RRT-Connect algorithm to the rover’s robotic arm and tested its performance, and we found that it could be used successfully for rover planning with a few changes. First, we implemented the terrain clearance requirement using a software tool called Proximeter. Second, we simplify the paths computed by RRT-Connect to minimize the number of viapoints in a motion plan. Third, we leverage Proximeter to reduce the number of expensive terrain collision checks done by the algorithm, speeding up motion planning.

Network slicing provides personalized services by building isolated logical networks. Besides, through deploying Virtual Network Function (VNF) chains on Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) servers, network slicing can guarantees the performance of low-latency services. To reduce maintenance costs, it is necessary to optimize the deployment of both the slices’ access functions on the base stations and the VNF chains on the MEC servers. Meanwhile, optimizing MEC server activation can save energy while meeting service demands. There have been many studies focusing on MEC server activation, access function deployment, and VNF chain deployment, but no work has considered them simultaneously. To fill this research gap, we construct a joint server activation as well as the access functions and VNF chains deployment model, aiming to guarantee performance while minimizing the cost. This problem is a mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem which is hard to be solved. Thus, we decompose the problem and design a Deep Q Network (DQN)based three-stage algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme over the baseline methods.

This article presents a novel method for controlling a doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind energy system in the presence of variable wind speeds. In order to achieve decoupling control of the active and reactive power, the rotor-side converter (RSC) of the DFIG is controlled using field-oriented control (FOC). The system is very complicated and nonlinear, making it challenging to adjust the PI gains appropriately. The present research proposes the utilization of the Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO) algorithm as an approach to optimize the gains of a Proportional-Integral (PI) regulator. The simulation results demonstrate that the GWO-PI provides a lower criterion value and an improved response than the conventional PI.

Cooperating autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) often rely on acoustic communication to coordinate their actions effectively. However, the reliability of underwater acoustic communication decreases as the communication range between vehicles increases. Consequently, teams of cooperating AUVs typically make conservative assumptions about the maximum range at which they can communicate reliably. To address this limitation, we propose a novel approach that involves learning a map representing the probability of successful communication based on the locations of the transmitting and receiving vehicles. This probabilistic communication map accounts for factors such as the range between vehicles, environmental noise, and multi-path effects at a given location. In pursuit of this goal, we investigate the application of Gaussian process binary classification to generate the desired communication map. We specialize existing results to this specific binary classification problem and explore methods to incorporate uncertainty in vehicle location into the mapping process. Furthermore, we compare the prediction performance of the probability communication map generated using binary classification with that of a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) communication map generated using Gaussian process regression. Our approach is experimentally validated using communication and navigation data collected during trials with a pair of Virginia Tech 690 AUVs.

This paper describes an approach for fitting an immersed submanifold of a finite-dimensional Euclidean space to random samples. The reconstruction mapping from the ambient space to the desired submanifold is implemented as a composition of an encoder that maps each point to a tuple of (positive or negative) times and a decoder given by a composition of flows along finitely many vector fields starting from a fixed initial point. The encoder supplies the times for the flows. The encoder-decoder map is obtained by empirical risk minimization, and a high-probability bound is given on the excess risk relative to the minimum expected reconstruction error over a given class of encoder-decoder maps. The proposed approach makes fundamental use of Sussmann’s orbit theorem, which guarantees that the image of the reconstruction map is indeed contained in an immersed submanifold.
