Correspondence-based Point Cloud Registration (PCR) is crucial for 3D visualization applications, especially in change detection. Most PCR models depend on precise initialization using a set of closest points to establish correspondences, a method that often fails due to random variations in point positions and the influence of outliers. The presence of noise and outliers significantly compromises the quality of initial correspondences, leading to inaccuracies in alignment. While some correspondence-prediction methods inspired by nonconvex techniques show promise, they remain sensitive to the underlying data structure and are not well-suited for complex scenarios involving dynamic point clouds. In this paper, we propose a new approach: the Correspondence Evolving Assistant Network (CEANet), a point transformer-inspired mechanism designed to enhance point cloud registration. Unlike existing methods, CEANet leverages a unique conditional correspondence-fitness function that dynamically assesses and prioritizes inliers, allowing for more robust and accurate correspondence predictions through context-aware random sampling of key points. This allows CEANet to generate accurate correspondence coordinates while effectively accounting for rotation and translation in the registration process. Additionally, the model prioritizes inliers, systematically disregarding outlier points to refine transformation calculations and update point cloud alignment. The iterative process gradually removes outliers until all points fit within a defined bounding box (bbx), ensuring robust performance even in challenging environments. Specifically, registering static-to-mobile point clouds is challenging due to temporal misalignment and varying viewpoints, but the received results are notable on SABRE and Kitti dataset. Extensive experiments proved that the proposed method produced competitive results with state-of-the-art methods, achieving accurate fitness performance of +5.18E+08 and +7.33E+

Beryllium-copper alloys, the most widely used copper alloys, are utilised extensively in diverse sectors, including the electrical, electronics, instrumentation, metallurgy, aerospace, automotive, petrochemical, machinery manufacturing, and die and mould-making industries. The main drawback of these alloys is that they produce the toxic component, beryllium oxide, which can lead to a chronic lung disease known as berylliosis. Beryllium-free copper alloys, such as copper-nickel-silicon-chromium, are eco-friendly, less costly, and possess properties similar to those of beryllium-copper alloys. Hence, they are now replacing beryllium-copper alloys in the applications mentioned earlier. Due to their high strength and hardness, these alloys are often fabricated into components using unconventional machining techniques, such as electrical discharge machining. Electrical discharge machining is particularly advantageous in industrial applications where precisely controlled random surface textures on these alloys are required. However, despite the industrial significance, research on the electrical discharge machining process of copper-nickel-silicon-chromium alloys is scarce. Therefore, the current work aims to address this research gap by conducting an experimental investigation of the random surfaces generated on copper-nickel-silicon-chromium alloy components after the die-sinking electrical discharge machining process through a comprehensive three-dimensional surface topography analysis. Three-dimensional surface topography parameters overcome the drawbacks of two-dimensional roughness parameters by considering the majority of surface points. This work investigates the effects of input factors, including electrode material, dielectric fluid material, flushing condition, and current on nearly all relevant areal texture (3D) parameters. ANOVA is performed to study the level of significance of each input parameter. The regression analyses reveal that current is the most si

The significance of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is undeniable, yet many critical industries remain hesitant to adopt it due to fundamental security, transparency and safety concerns. Developing a mechanism to address these concerns is challenging, as it involves a large number of heterogeneous devices, complex relations and human-machine contextual factors. This article presents a comprehensive analysis through a systematic review of ontologies and key security attributes essential for modelling the security of IIoT environments. Our review includes an extensive analysis of research articles, semantic security ontologies, and cybersecurity standards. Through this analysis, we identify critical security concepts and attributes, which can be leveraged to develop standardised security ontologies tailored for IIoT. Additionally, we explore the potential of integrating ontologies into the Industry 5.0 paradigm, which emphasises human-centricity, resilience, and sustainability. While ontologies offer structured modelling capabilities, their alignment with Industry 5.0’s unique collaborative and adaptive security needs remains limited. Our review suggests that existing security ontologies are not fully aligned with security goals, exposing many important research gaps. These gaps include areas such as semantic mapping techniques, security-by-design ontologies, holistic security standards, and ontologies that address the sociotechnical aspects of IIoT.

Positive human-perception of robots is critical to achieving sustained use of robots in shared environments. One key factor affecting human-perception of robots are their sounds, especially the consequential sounds which robots (as machines) must produce as they operate. This paper explores qualitative responses from 182 participants to gain insight into human-perception of robot consequential sounds. Participants viewed videos of different robots performing their typical movements, and responded to an online survey regarding their perceptions of robots and the sounds they produce. Topic analysis was used to identify common properties of robot consequential sounds that participants expressed liking, disliking, wanting or wanting to avoid being produced by robots. Alongside expected reports of disliking high pitched and loud sounds, many participants preferred informative and audible sounds (over no sound) to provide predictability of purpose and trajectory of the robot. Rhythmic sounds were preferred over acute or continuous sounds, and many participants wanted more natural sounds (such as wind or cat purrs) in-place of machine-like noise. The results presented in this paper support future research on methods to improve consequential sounds produced by robots by highlighting features of sounds that cause negative perceptions, and providing insights into sound profile changes for improvement of human-perception of robots, thus enhancing human robot interaction.
