Sustainability objectives, including the endeavor to reduce waste, energy consumption and machining effort gave rise to the near net shape (NNS) machining concept, which requires the initial rough blank to be as close to the final machined product as possible. Nevertheless, the opportunity of savings in material, energy and effort come with a risk of manufacturing scrap even in case of a very small geometrical error of the blank. This issue is addressed by blank localization, i.e., the act of placing the final machined product in the geometry of the rough blank. Multi-operation blank localization was proposed recently to exploit tolerances in the product design to compensate potential geometrical errors of the blank. It places each feature group, machined together in the same operation, separately in the blank. When tolerances connecting different feature groups allow, these feature groups can be moved slightly according to the measured actual blank geometry. This paper proposes a novel multi-operation blank localization approach that models the rough blank as a free-form geometry, capturing all possible geometrical errors, whereas represents the final product using a feature-based model. The problem of blank localization for minimizing tolerance errors while leaving sufficient allowance is formulated and solved as a convex quadratically constrained quadratic program (QCQP). In a case study from the automotive industry, it is shown that the proposed multi-operation approach outperforms earlier methods that handle the product as a single solid geometry.

Due to the lower cost and higher maneuverability, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have found extensive use in both the civilian and military worlds. Path planning, as a crucial problem in the process of UAVs flight, aims to determine the optimal routes for multiple UAVs from various starting points to a single destination. However, because of the involvement of complex conditional constraints, path planning becomes a highly challenging problem. The path planning problem involving numerous UAVs is examined in this research, and a SAAPF-MADDPG algorithm based on Artificial Potential Field (APF) is suggested as a solution. First, a SA-greedy algorithm that can change the probability of random exploration by agents based on the number of steps and successful rounds to prevent UAVs from getting trapped in a local optimum. Then, we design complex reward functions based on APF to guide UAVs to destination faster. Finally, SAAPF-MADDPG is evaluated against the MADDPG, DDPG, and MATD3 methods in simulation scenarios to confirm its efficacy.

Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, and it is caused by a variety of dermatological conditions. Identifying abnormalities from skin images is an important pre-diagnostic step to assist physicians in determining the patient’s condition. Thus, to aid dermatologists in the diagnosis process, we proposed five CNN-based classification approaches namely ResNet-101, DenseNet-121, GoogLeNet, VGG16, and MobileNetV2 architectures on which the transfer learning process was applied. The HAM10000-N database consisting of 7,120 images, which was obtained from the original HAM10000 dataset through an augmentation process, was used to train the proposed methods. Moreover, the images from the HAM10000-N were pre-processed by removing hair with the DullRazor algorithm. To evaluate and compare the performance of all networks five metrics were calculated: accuracy, precision, recall, and Fl-score. The best results for the seven-class classification of the HAM10000-N dataset were obtained for DenseNet-121 architecture with 87% accuracy, 0.871 precision, 0.87 recall and 0.872 F1-score.

Due to the important part of batteries in industrial systems, its safety analysis has causes widespread attention from researchers, and its effective maintenance decision-making is needed. Data-driven state-of-health (SOH) estimation can provide useful information by monitoring historical data during the aging process, but it can be failed in the cross-domain scenarios due to the different data distributions. To tackle this issue, we propose a long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network with an additional fully connected dense as a basic predictor, and apply the pretrain and fine-tuning training algorithm to realize the high-performance prediction. By validated in two real-world datasets, we find that blindly expanding the training set may have a negative impact on model accuracy, and the proposed TL-LSTM can achieve a great performance under the cross-domain tasks.

One of the applications of deep learning is deciphering the unscripted text over the walls and pillars of historical monuments is the major source of information extraction. This information gives us an idea about the art and the culture of that respective era. In this paper we proposed a model for digital recognition of textual characters written in Sanskrit language using the 4-fold Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. At the first stage we remove the noise and subsequently segmentation of characters from the input image is performed, later we convert the image into binary image format by the help of image processing techniques. The research is performed over the Devanagari script which was developed during 1 st to the 4 th century CE and is common to many languages from the Indian subcontinent.

Truck drivers are required to stop and rest with a certain regularity according to the driving and rest time regulations, also called Hours-of-Service (HoS) regulations. This paper studies the problem of optimally forming platoons when considering realistic HoS regulations. In our problem, trucks have fixed routes in a transportation network and can wait at hubs along their routes to form platoons with others while fulfilling the driving and rest time constraints. We propose a distributed decision-making scheme where each truck controls its waiting times at hubs based on the predicted schedules of others. The decoupling of trucks’ decision-makings contributes to an approximate dynamic programming approach for platoon coordination under HoS regulations. Finally, we perform a simulation over the Swedish road network with one thousand trucks to evaluate the achieved platooning benefits under the HoS regulations in the European Union (EU). The simulation results show that, on average, trucks drive in platoons for 37% of their routes if each truck is allowed to be delayed for 5 % of its total travel time. If trucks are not allowed to be delayed, they drive in platoons for 12 % of their routes.
