The sEMG-based gesture recognition has great potential in human-computer interaction. However, the current approaches are far from optimal. In this paper, a novel convolutional neural network which combines the multi-scale kernal and feature fusion (MKFF-CNN) is proposed. This model could extract multi-scale features and make full use of these feature maps. One dataset called "gForce dataset" is recorded in this work, comprising 13 able-bodied participants. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed model, evaluations on both the gForce dataset and the Ninapro DB6 are conducted. The experimental results demonstrate that, MKFF-CNN achieves an accuracy of 97.65% on the gForce dataset, which is 1.39% higher than that of the subnetwork without early fusion, and at least 6.54% higher than that of the subnetwork with single-scale convolution kernel. On the Ninapro DB6, MKFF-CNN achieves 98.52% accuracy, which is 1.3% higher than the state-of-the-art works, showing the superiority of the proposed model.

For wide and flat objects, such as books and package boxes, the robot arm cannot grasp directly because of the limit of the gripper width. Therefore, pre-grasp manipulation is needed to make them gras-pable, e.g., pushing it to the table side and grasp from the side. In this paper, we propose a novel method to learn the pre-grasp manipulation based on deep reinforcement learning. Instead of directly feeding the raw images, we generate the binary masks as states according to the shape and current position of the object and table. Meanwhile, we use adaptive resets to accelerate the training process, i.e., adaptively reset the initial states to demonstration states. After training on a large scale of automatically generated objects and tables of different shapes, our proposed method achieves a 97.6% success rate on novel objects.

This paper proposes a modeling method for a robotic fish with elastic tail, which is driven by a motor in head and uses a spring steel sheet as a passive flexible joint, followed by a rigid caudal fin. The pseudo-rigid-body model (PRBM) is firstly used to analyze the flexible joint, then the fluid force acting on the robotic fish is divided into the pressure on links and cross-sectional resistance. Further, a dynamic model is established by the Lagrangian dynamic method to solve the movement of the robotic fish. And the model is utilized to investigate the influence of joint stiffness on propulsion performance. For different frequencies, the optimal joint stiffness is calculated to maximize the swimming speed. These optimized speeds are all higher than using rigid joints, and a maximum speed increase of 033 body length per second is reached at the largest simulation frequency 10Hz. In addition, the swimming speed can be maximized at the same input power by adjusting the stiffness of the joint. These findings prove the effectiveness of passive flexible joints in optimizing the performance of the robot fish.

The total orientation workspace (TOW) is fundamental to the design and application of a parallel manipulator. Among various PM structures, a type of n-PPPS PMs, whose limbs consisted of three active prismatic joints and one passive spherical joint, is widely used in assembly tasks of jointing cabin sections. In this paper, the shape of the TOW of the type of n-PPPS PM is proved to be a cuboid. And this property is utilized to transfer the TOW determination problem to solving six minima and maxima with the help of nonlinear optimization algorithm, which reduces the computation cost greatly comparing to general workspace determination algorithms. Then, a 4-PPPS PM is taken as an example to carry out comparisons on computation speed and accuracy with a general TOW solving method based on workspace search, and the experiment results show the superiority of the proposed method. In the end, the influence of limb distances and angle ranges of the TOW on the volume rate of the TOW is analyzed as a concrete example of the application of the proposed method to guide manipulator design and application.

The performance of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) ship detector has been significantly improved with the development of convolutional neural network. However, the issue of effective detection of inshore ships is still a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose a novel one-stage SAR ship detector, called Semantic Attention-Based Network (SANet), which can largely improve the accuracy of ship detection in the inshore scenario without compromising the speed. Specifically, we introduce a semantic attention mechanism, which will highlight the features from the ships area and enhance the detector's classification ability. We train the proposed Semantic Attention Module with focal loss, and assign labels for the attention maps by center sampling. Combined with our anchor assign strategy, our SANet achieves state-of-the-art results on the open SAR Ship Detection Dataset (SSDD).

In an experimental environment with limited conditions, it is always hard to achieve precise positioning of robotic fish. A combined indoor self-positioning method in this paper is introduced to solve the problem. For the short-distance range, coordinates are calculated by fusing the measured distances and angles. For the medium-distance range, a clustering-grid supervision (CGS) algorithm is proposed and adopted to correct the coordinates obtained by the four-point positioning method. An ostracion-like robotic fish is used as the experimental object to achieve centimeter-level positioning with an average positioning error of 4.492 cm in a short-distance range and decimeter-level positioning with an error of 2.049 dm in a medium-distance range. Compared with traditional methods, this comprehensive method has the advantages of low cost and high accuracy.

This paper presents a novel wire-driven fish tall with two joints, using spring-steel-sheet to mimic fish spine, which makes the whole fish tail compliant and can simulate real fish better. This mechanism can also achieve C-shape and S-shape swing similar to natural fish tail. To predict the attitude of fish tail, kinematics model is established theoretically in this paper. The simulation experiments show that the maximum error between the amplitude predicted by the kinematics model and expected amplitude at the end of the fish tail is 5 mm, indicating the correctness of the proposed kinematics model. In order to solve the control coupling problem of servomotors, this paper further proposes a based-vision biomimetic undulation fitting method, which is both simple and efficient. Finally, the proposed method is verified by two groups of experiments involving forward motion and turn motion. Experimental results are in good agreement with the expected values. When the frequency is 0.1 Hz, the average errors of forward motion and turn motion are 0.59 degrees and 0.7 degrees respectively, which proves that the proposed method is reliable and effective.

Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) usually exhibits strong hysteresis nonlinearity and time-varying features that bring PAM modeling and control difficulties. In this paper, an adaptive Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model is established based on nonlinear auto-regression moving average with exogenous input (NARMAX) structure to describe PAM's characteristics. Experiments show that compared with other phenomenology-based models, the presented model has lower predictive error and better adaptability. Finally, a model predictive controller is designed and validated to verify the adaptive T-S fuzzy model's practicability.
