The wheeled rover is widely used in off-road planetary exploration tasks nowadays. However, complex operating environment like soft deformable terrains on the planet surface demands the high performance of rover. In order to reduce danger, environmental perception technologies need to be used on the rover. Terrain classification is a critical method in environmental perception. In this research, a wheel-vision-based terrain classification method is proposed. This method uses wheel-terrain interaction parameters obtained from inside-wheel cameras which are strongly related to the terrain as input. We use single-wheel testbed to collect and process data to form a dataset. The data is obtained under different slip ratios and different terrains. Then, we train four terrain classification models using machine learning algorithms and analyze their performance. From the results, all performance criteria of the models achieve over 95%, with DT being the optimal method. The feasibility of our method in the case of fewer training samples and the rationality of dataset selection are also verified through the results of different training set sizes and the ablation experiment.

In order to solve the issues in the heterogeneous industrial wireless network access selection such as delay and reliability, this paper present an industrial wireless network access selection based on multilevel fuzzy neural network. The algorithm divides the input attributes into three categories: network attributes, terminal attributes, and environment attributes. It synchronously inputs them into the fuzzy neural network to obtain the candidate network scores, which effectively reduces the number of fuzzy rules and reduces the algorithm complexity. Furthermore, this paper also consider the influence of the industrial environment on network selection and quantitatively reduce the number of switching and blocking rate. The simulation experimental results show that this algorithm is able to achieve fast network access selection in noisy and occluded industrial heterogeneous wireless networks, and the blocking rate can remain low in the presence of dense terminals.

Our work investigates the utilization of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to address the complexities associated with Forward Kinematics (FK) problems within the field of robotics. We undertake an extensive comparative analysis to assess how ANNs perform under different circumstances with robotic arms of varying lengths and impact the overall system’s functionality. The training, testing, and validation of ANNs are carried out using MATLAB for a simulated 2-DoF serial robotic arm involving three distinct datasets: fixed step size, random step size, and sinusoidal step size. Three training optimizers, namely Levenberg Marquardt (LM), Bayesian Regularization (BR), and Stochastic Conjugate Gradient (SCG), are considered within the ANN architecture. Based on Mean Square Error (MSE) values, the numerical findings reveal the potential of ANN in estimating forward kinematic solutions of complex robotic manipulators with different arm lengths and reducing computational complexity.

Magnetic helical microrobots have great potential in biomedical applications. However, improving their motion performance in the complex and variable in vivo fluid environment remains challenging. Previous researches mainly focus on optimizing the geometric parameter, the evolutionary structure design, and chemical modifications of the robots, with limited attention given to the impact of physical surface modifications on propulsion performance. To address this issue, we design the helical microrobot with different surface physical modifications, including dimpled and raised surfaces, to evaluate their effects on swimming performance. With ANSYS Fluent, we simulated their swimming process in water and found that microrobots with physically modified surfaces experience less resistance and exhibit a larger step-out frequency while swimming. Moreover, our findings suggest that helical microrobots with dimpled surfaces demonstrate superior swimming performance due to their larger gas-liquid interface area compared to those with raised surfaces.
