The presence of constraints often leads to the formation of narrow and fragmented feasible regions within the search region, presenting significant challenges for optimization problem-solving. This paper introduces a novel approach, Feasible Regions Identification based on Historical Solutions (FRIHS), designed to address these challenges. FRIHS leverages previously evaluated solutions to partition the search region into ε-feasible and ε-infeasible regions. Additionally, by analyzing the correlations among constraints, they are reformulated as auxiliary objectives, effectively transforming the constrained optimization problem into a constrained multi-objective optimization problem. The method employs the classical evolutionary algorithm Differential Evolution and the multi-objective method NSGA-III to search the most promising feasible regions. The effectiveness of FRIHS is evaluated through a comparative analysis with five advanced constraint-handling algorithms across a benchmark test suite. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach demonstrates competitive performance on the test problems.

With the development of continuous fiber-reinforced composites (CFRCs) 3D printing technology, timely, efficient and accurate detection of fiber path defects is essential for ensuring product quality and performance. However, challenges still need to be addressed in this field, such as inadequate training data coverage and the complexity of fiber path structures. These factors hinder the capability of traditional methods to accurately assess the status of printed products. Therefore, developing accurate and robust fiber path defect detection techniques is crucial for CFRCs 3D printing technology. In this paper, we propose a precise detection method for fiber path defects in CFRCs 3D printing using the YOLOv7 object detection model combined with a Squeeze-and-Excitation (SE) attention mechanism. By introducing the SE attention mechanism, we enhance the perception capability of the YOLOv7 model for crucial features, thereby improving the accuracy of fiber path defect detection. The experimental results show that the YOLOv7 model, when augmented with an attention mechanism, achieves an average accuracy of 93.9% in identifying fiber path defects during the printing process. Compared to models without this attention mechanism, the results show that there is 10.7% increase, with a notably enhanced learning capacity during the training phase, which substantiates the efficacy and practicality of the proposed approach.

The high-quality datasets and generalized network model combined with robust evaluation strategies serve as a significant benchmark for developing new policies for industrial bin-picking. In this paper, we propose the concept of region-aware grasping, a sim2real cutting-edge system to generate and evaluate 6D poses for robots to pick up novel workpieces from stacked environments. It consists of Region-Aware-Dataset, a large-scale synthetic point cloud grasp dataset; and Semantic-Graspnet, a 6D-wise affordance policy that predicts full 6D grasp pose for stacked workpieces. The introduced Semantic-Graspnet transforms the 6D pose prediction problem into semantic categorization via point cloud encoding and decoding. Meanwhile, we propose a robust evaluation strategy based on pose evaluation and mechanical grasping evaluation, which enhances the robot’s grasping success rate and sorting efficiency. In real industrial tasks, the robot achieves a grasp completion rate of 91.3% in cluttered scenes and 89.2% in densely stacked scenes, demonstrating state-of-the-art results in robotic picking-and-placing applications. Note to Practitioners—This work is inspired by the robotic universal AI technique, which holds an indispensable position in industrial as bin-picking tasks. Leveraging this technology, the robot can proficiently perform picking-and-placing for diverse workpieces. The prior robot grasping policies primarily centered on maximizing the optimization of grasp detection to ensure successful grasping. Nevertheless, limitations still exist regarding efficient datasets, generalized network models, and robust evaluation strategies. Therefore, in order to effectively curtail the development cycle of robot picking-and-placing applications, this paper puts forward a novel region-aware grasping policy for stacked workpieces. We have investigated an autonomous grasp label annotation method and constructed a large-scale synthetic point cloud grasp dataset. Subsequently, a seman

This study investigated the optimal tracking performance (OTP) of multi-input multi-output (MIMO), discrete- time networked controlsystems (NCSs). The limits of tracking performance (TP) under the influences of bandwidth, encoding- decoding, and additive coloured Gaussian noise (ACGN) are derived using the techniques of coprime decomposition and all-pass decomposition. The results reveal the negative impact of non-minimum phase (NMP) zeros and unstable poles of the plant as well as network communication constraints on the TP of NCSs. Finally, a numerical simulation is discussed and verifies our conclusions.

Underwater supporting robots serving as a relay of energy supplements and communication for other underwater equipment are promising for ocean exploration, development, and protection. This paper proposes a novel autonomous docking system centered on a designed supporting robotic fish named ‘CourierFish’. Specifically, CourierFish is capable of docking with a surface dock station for supplying itself and docking with a seafloor platform for supporting equipment in the platform. A visual navigation scheme integrating LED and ArUco markers is presented for accurate localization. The control approach for docking motion is also illustrated. Simulations and aquatic experiments are performed to verify the feasibility of the proposed docking system. The obtained results lay a solid foundation for the construction of various underwater equipment and robot networks.

advanced Air Mobility (AAM) envisages a sustainable, safe, convenient, and affordable air transport system. In socio-technical transition of AAM, there are a number of trade-offs in ecosystem that need to be studied. Three perspectives on economic feasibility are explored: first, based on history of VTOL services and value of time estimates, we discuss whether AAM can provide customers with competitive mobility services; second, what are the stakeholders’ insights on the deployment of AAM; last, the experience in the development of autonomous driving technology, such as parallel intelligence, can inform future AAM research.

Gait planning of quadruped robots plays an important role in achieving less walking, including dynamic and static gait. In this article, a static and dynamic gait control method based on center of gravity stability margin is proposed. Firstly, the robot model and kinematics modeling are introduced. Secondly, the robot’s foot static and dynamic gait were planned and the foot trajectory was designed. Finally, two types of gait of the robot were simulated using Vrep simulation software, and the differences in stability and speed between the coordinated gait with speed and stability in the static and dynamic gait of a 12 degree of freedom robot were analyzed, verifying the effectiveness of the gait control method proposed in this paper.
