The mobile humanoid upper body robot combines the humanoid upper body robot with the mobile platform. It has high redundancy and can complete complex tasks. However, coupling joints, including the waist joints and the mobile platform, exist in the configuration of the robot. During the task execution, the motion of the end-effectors on the dual arms are not independent, but interfere with each other through the motion of the waist and the mobile platform. Therefore, we need to decouple the waist and mobile platform from the dual arms. Based on the pseudo-inverse method of the redundant manipulators, we consider the motion of the coupling joints as a disturbance term and propose a kinematic decoupling whole-body control method. The method realizes the decoupling and cooperation of dual arms, avoids the interference of the inverse kinematics model of the dual arms, and fully releases the application potential of the high redundancy. The decoupling method allows the waist joints and the mobile platform to move randomly without affecting the task operation at the end-effectors, and to further plan their movements separately in order to smooth the whole body motion. The simulations on the mobile humanoid upper body robot verifies our method.

Medical image is essential for physicians to diagnose diseases. And convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained momentum for computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) medical image. However, there are still challenges in CNNs related to a lack of data and class-imbalanced datasets. Data augmentation is utilized to address the issues mentioned above. In this study, the Pseudo-color enhancement algorithm (OCEAN and TWILIGHT), common linear transform, CLAHE enhancement, and K-means clustering algorithm were applied to pneumonia X-ray images for data augmentation. Thus, five processed datasets were finally obtained. The results indicated that five data-augmentation methods effectively improved the performance of CNNs for the pneumonia X-ray images binary classification detection, in which the CLAHE enhancement and OCEAN enhancement methods had the accuracy and F1 Score with 97.42%, 97.19%, and 97.42%, 98.36%, respectively. DenseNet121 showed the best classification performance of four CNNs utilized in this study, as evidenced by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC). To verify the generalizability of the two enhancement methods, CLAHE and OCEAN enhancement methods were applied to the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) dataset of Alzheimer's disease, which had the accuracy and F1 Score with 98.15% , 98.15%, and 97.22%, 97.68%, respectively. Therefore, these simple and efficient data-augmentation methods effectively improve the performance of CNNs for diagnosing medical image, which can provide theoretical reference for physicians to diagnose the above two diseases, and advance the application of clinical medicine.

In this paper, a positioning system developed for cable inspection robot system which works on feed support cables of Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is introduced. The positioning system consists of wheeled odometers and a Real-tme kinematic (RTK) based Global Navigation Satellite system (GNSS). Firstly, the cable with fixed ends and free suspension in the middle is modeled, and the influence of wind on the cable in FAST site is analyzed. Then, the data of the four odometers on the robot are processed, and the odometer information is fused with GNSS information through Kalman filtering. Then the best position estimation of the cable inspection robot is determined. A simulation is finally established to verify the proposed robot positioning method. The result shows that the method can work pretty well under the real working situation.

The Mars quadrotor is a vertical take-off and landing aerial platform developed to enhance the efficiency of Mars exploration. The four-blade rotor has a high thrust coefficient due to its high solidity, which enables the quadrotor to navigate the Martian atmospheric environment efficiently. This paper proposes a payload-carrying Mars quadrotor featuring four four-bladed rotors that can fold along the rotor arms. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is employed to perform numerical hovering simulations, exploring the propulsion capability and aerodynamic efficiency of rotors with different diameters. The mass distribution and hovering time are estimated when the quadrotor consists of the rotors with the highest figure of merit. The results demonstrate that a larger rotor diameter of the quadrotor yields greater payload capacity and shorter hovering time. During the launch, the quadrotor is folded and constrained within an envelope to protect it from vibrations and shocks. A lifting mechanism with shape-constraint slides is utilized for quadrotor deployment.

Chest X-ray (CXR) is essential for physicians to diagnose lung diseases in clinical medicine. With the development of computer and deep learning techniques, creating CXR datasets to train convolutional neural networks (CNNs) has become a popular research topic. However, there are still challenges in creating datasets due to class imbalance and the ratio setting of datasets. This study investigated the impact of class imbalance and the ratio of training, validation, and test sets on CNNs classification performance by optimizing the dataset configuration. This was achieved by directly modifying the ratio, applying oversampling based on the adaptive contrast enhancement (ACE) algorithm, and random undersampling to balance the dataset classes, followed by modifying the ratio again. Therefore, seven datasets were obtained, which were utilized to individually train four CNNs based on transfer learning and fine-tuning techniques. Evaluation metrics based on the confusion matrix were utilized to demonstrate the enhanced classification performance of CNNs. The results indicated that at least 17% of the accuracy of CNNs trained by the dataset with modified ratios was improved as compared with the dataset with an unreasonable initial configuration. Additionally, the overall evaluation metrics of CNNs were further improved by balancing the dataset classes and modifying the ratios. ChexNet demonstrated the best classification performance among the four CNNs, as evidenced by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUC). Furthermore, ChexNet was trained by a class balanced dataset with a ratio of 7:2:1, resulting in the best evaluation metrics, including F1 Score, balanced accuracy, accuracy, recall, specificity, and precision, which were 97.81%, 97.78%, 97.78%, 98.73%, 96.84%, and 96.89%, respectively. Therefore, optimizing dataset configuration can effectively improve the performance of CNNs, providing empirical guidance for researchers in creating dat

This study aims to design and optimize a motor-driven frog-like jumping robot leg for efficient vertical jumps and multiple consecutive horizontal jumps. We have conducted bionic research on frog legs' structure and motion characteristics and further explored their motion mechanism, providing new ideas and methods for designing and manufacturing robots with high mobility and adaptability. First, our research team designed a robot leg prototype based on the frog's body structure, optimized the robot using computer-aided design software, and selected a suitable motor-driven actuator. Secondly, the weight reduction optimization of the robot body is carried out regarding material selection and topology optimization to improve the robot's maneuverability and jump height. Finally, after manufacturing the prototype of the robot legs, the robot is experimentally verified. The results show that the robot legs can achieve efficient vertical jumps (the maximum height is 1.40 meters, about 7.8 times the length of the leg link). It can also jump multiple times consecutively, which is significant for applying robots in dangerous environments, search and rescue, and other fields.
