This paper investigates the performance of the dual mode, namely flipper mode and central pattern generator(CPG) mode, for controlling the depth of a gliding robotic dolphin. Subsequent to considering the errors in dynamic models, we propose a depth control system that combines the line-of-sight(LOS)method with an adaptive control approach(ACA) to deal with uncertainties in the model parameters. First,we establish a full-state dynamic model to conduct simulations and optimize the parameters used in later aquatic experiments. Then, we use the LOS method to transform the control target from the depth to the pitch angle and employ the ACA to calculate the control signal. In particular, we optimize the ACA’s control parameters using simulations based on our dynamic model. Finally, our simulated and experimental results demonstrate not only that we can successfully control the robotic dolphin’s depth, but also that its performance was better than that of the CPG-based control, thus indicating that we can achieve three-dimensional motion by combining flipper-based and CPG-based control. The results of this study suggest valuable ideas for practical applications of gliding robotic dolphins.

A decentralized adaptive neural network sliding mode position/force control scheme is proposed for constrained reconfigurable manipulators. Different from the decentralized control strategy in multi-manipulator cooperation, the proposed decentralized position/force control scheme can be applied to series constrained reconfigurable manipulators. By multiplying each row of Jacobian matrix in the dynamics by contact force vector, the converted joint torque is obtained. Furthermore, using desired information of other joints instead of their actual values, the dynamics can be represented as a set of interconnected subsystems by model decomposition technique. An adaptive neural network controller is introduced to approximate the unknown dynamics of subsystem. The interconnection and the whole error term are removed by employing an adaptive sliding mode term. And then, the Lyapunov stability theory guarantees the stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, two reconfigurable manipulators with different configurations are employed to show the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized position/force control scheme.

We develop an online adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) based optimal control scheme for continuous-time chaotic systems. The idea is to use the ADP algorithm to obtain the optimal control input that makes the performance index function reach an optimum. The expression of the performance index function for the chaotic system is first presented. The online ADP algorithm is presented to achieve optimal control. In the ADP structure, neural networks are used to construct a critic network and an action network, which can obtain an approximate performance index function and the control input, respectively. It is proven that the critic parameter error dynamics and the closed-loop chaotic systems are uniformly ultimately bounded exponentially. Our simulation results illustrate the performance of the established optimal control method.

With the continuous growth of the automobile trade, the inefficiency of traditional cargo transshipment in Roll-On/Roll-Off (RO/RO) terminals has become increasingly pronounced. As a result, the adoption of autonomous transportation robot (ATR) for the automatic handling of finished vehicles has seen significant growth. However, ATRs designed for this purpose face several limitations, including suboptimal mobility performance and the necessity for additional infrastructure to support their operation. This paper introduces a novel ATR that offers enhanced flexibility and operational capability. To further optimize the positioning of LiDAR, we develop a multi-stage LiDAR fusion algorithm for the precise localization of finished vehicles, incorporating an event-triggered decision-making approach to improve positioning accuracy. Based on the accurate positioning data, we propose a docking strategy consisting of two key phases: the approach phase and the docking phase. During the docking phase, an enhanced Model Predictive control (MPC) algorithm, integrated with a Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network, is designed to enable real-time adjustment of the robot’s docking attitude. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated through real-world robot experimentals demonstrating its practical viability.

Social networks often serve as a critical medium for information dissemination, diffusion of epidemics, and spread of behavior, by shared activities or similarities be- tween individuals. Recently, we have witnessed an explosion of interest in studying social influence and spread dynamics in social networks. To date, relatively little material has been provided on a comprehensive review in this field. This brief survey addresses this issue. We present the current significant empirical studies on real social systems, including network construction methods, measures of network, and newly em- pirical results. We then provide a concise description of some related social models from both macro- and micro-level per- spectives. Due to the difficulties in combining real data and simulation data for verifying and validating real social sys- tems, we further emphasize the current research results of computational experiments. We hope this paper can provide researchers significant insights into better understanding the characteristics of personal influence and spread patterns in large-scale social systems.
