Rescue robots perform rescue and search operations at disaster sites. These robots should be able to navigate autonomously because remote control is difficult. The objective of this research was to enable rescue robots to navigate autonomously on international standard rough terrain. To achieve this objective, we built a learning environment in a simulator using Unity, a physics engine, and conducted deep reinforcement learning using the machine learning framework of Unity and ML-Agents. A comparative verification with remote control demonstrated that autonomous navigation was superior to remote control in terms of both time and success rates because of the difference in the motion of the robot.
Existing methods for estimating the state of health (SOH) of lithium-ion battery (LIB) typically rely on the assumption that the distribution of noise (or outliers) in the measurement data is known. However, this assu...

This study presents a Predefined-Time Convergent Fractional-Order Zeroing Neural Network (PTC-FOZNN) as an innovative solution for Time-Invariant Quadratic programming (TIQP) and Time-Variant Quadratic programming (TVQP) problems. This model represents a noteworthy integration of fractional calculus into recurrent neural networks for cyclic motion planning of robots. The PTC-FOZNN diverges from the conventional Zeroing Neural Network (ZNN) by implementing a conformable fractional derivative that complies with the Leibniz rule-a standard often unmet by existing fractional derivatives. Additionally, it employs a novel predefined-time stabilizer as its activation function. When compared to the traditional ZNN, the PTC-FOZNN, configured with
$0 < \alpha\leq 1$
, exhibits enhanced convergence speed and greater positional accuracy for both TIQP and TVQP tasks. Through meticulous theoretical and empirical validation, including simulation trials with a Franka Emika Panda robotic arm, the PTC-FOZNN model has proven its effectiveness in precise trajectory tracking and computational efficacy.

Accurate prediction of biogas yield is crucial for optimizing waste-to-energy conversion systems in anaerobic co-digestion processes. In this study, a double input and single output (DISO) fuzzy mamdani model (FMM) was developed for the prediction of biogas yield in a pilot scale of 105-L mesophilic anaerobic sludge bio-digester. The input variables considered are the combination of cow dung and pig waste and the retention time (RT), while the output variable is the experimental biogas yield. Triangular Fuzzy Membership Functions (TFMF) were utilized to define the input and output datasets, and rules were derived from de-fuzzification. Comparative analysis between the FMM's predicted results and experimental values showcased its effectiveness in forecasting biogas yield during the anaerobic co-digestion of the hybrid wastes. Significantly, the FMM consistently produced results with low error values for the sample dataset, underscoring its accuracy even under stochastic conditions. This study emphasizes the FMM's ability to generate predictions with minimal deviations, offering superior results. As a prospect for future research, the implementation of hybrid algorithms may further enhance biogas yield prediction accuracy within waste-to-energy systems.

Stem cell delivery is pivotal in tissue engineering, enabling the regeneration and repair of damaged tissues and advancing therapeutic solutions. As an innovative stem cell delivery system, microgels provide a supportive, protective environment that enhances cell viability and promotes targeted tissue regeneration. However, conventional microgels face limitations due to the lack of microporous structures and interior canals, which hinder efficient nutrient and oxygen exchange, thereby reducing cell viability and proliferation. To overcome these challenges, we developed a droplet microfluidic system for the stable and continuous production of porous microgels with interior spiral canals by introducing a pore-forming agent. This controlled formation process results in microgels with excellent porosity and monodispersity. With their unique structure and biocompatibility, these porous microgels are excellent microcarriers for 3D cell culture, enhancing nutrient and oxygen exchange and providing a conducive environment for cell growth and proliferation.
