The soft continuum arm has extensive application in industrial production and human life due to its superior safety and flexibility. Reinforcement learning is a powerful technique for solving soft arm continuous control problems, which can learn an effective control policy with an unknown system model. However, it is often affected by the high sample complexity and requires huge amounts of data to train, which limits its effectiveness in soft arm control. An improved policy gradient method, policy gradient integrating long and short-term rewards denoted as PGLS, is proposed in this paper to overcome this issue. The shortterm rewards provide more dynamic-aware exploration directions for policy learning and improve the exploration efficiency of the algorithm. PGLS can be integrated into current policy gradient algorithms, such as deep deterministic policy gradient(DDPG). The overall control framework is realized and demonstrated in a dynamics simulation environment. Simulation results show that this approach can effectively control the soft arm to reach and track the targets. Compared with DDPG and other model-free reinforcement learning algorithms, the proposed PGLS algorithm has a great improvement in convergence speed and performance. In addition, a fluid-driven soft manipulator is designed and fabricated in this paper, which can verify the proposed PGLS algorithm in real experiments in the future.

The accurate and intelligent identification of the working conditions of a sucker-rod pumping system is necessary. As onshore oil extraction gradually enters its mid-to late-stage, the cost required to train a deep learning working condition recognition model for pumping wells by obtaining enough new working condition samples is expensive. For the few-shot problem and large calculation issues of new working conditions of oil wells, a working condition recognition method for pumping unit wells based on a 4-dimensional time-frequency signature (4D-TFS) and meta-learning convolutional shrinkage neural network (ML-CSNN) is proposed. First, the measured pumping unit well workup data are converted into 4D-TFS data, and the initial feature extraction task is performed while compressing the data. Subsequently, a convolutional shrinkage neural network (CSNN) with a specific structure that can ablate low-frequency features is designed to extract working conditions features. Finally, a meta-learning fine-tuning framework for learning the network parameters that are susceptible to task changes is merged into the CSNN to solve the few-shot issue. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the trained ML-CSNN has good recognition accuracy and generalization ability for few-shot working condition recognition. More specifically, in the case of lower computational complexity, only few-shot samples are needed to fine-tune the network parameters, and the model can be quickly adapted to new classes of well conditions.

Learning tailored target representations for tracking is a promising direction in visual object tracking. Most state-of-the-art methods utilize autoencoders to generate representations by reconstructing the target’s appearance. However, these reconstructions are often augmented to mimic scale jitter and alteration, neglecting physical scale observations such as those in aerial videos. This article addresses the challenge of representation learning for cross-scale tracking in generalized scenarios. Specifically, we incorporate target scale directly into the positional encoding, indicating scale through relative pixel density rather than the conventional metric of image resolution. This scale-aware encoding is then integrated into the proposed asymptotic hierarchy of decoders, designed to reconstruct representations by emphasizing the restoration of high- and low-frequency features at large and tiny scales. The reconstruction process is guided by supervised learning using split losses, enabling the generation of robust cross-scale representations for generic objects. Extensive experiments on six benchmarks — GOT-10k, LaSOT, TrackingNet, DTB70, UAV123, and TNL2K — validate the superior performance of our method. Additionally, our tracker achieves a remarkable speed of 123 frames per second on a Graphics Processing Unit, surpassing the previous best autoencoder-based tracker. The code and raw results will be made publicly available at: https://***/pellab/DSC .

The emerging development of connected and automated vehicles imposes a significant challenge on current vehicle control and transportation systems. This paper proposes a novel unified approach, Parallel Driving, a cloud-based cyberphysical-social systems(CPSS) framework aiming at synergizing connected automated driving. This study first introduces the CPSS and ACP-based intelligent machine systems. Then the parallel driving is proposed in the cyber-physical-social space,considering interactions among vehicles, human drivers, and information. Within the framework, parallel testing, parallel learning and parallel reinforcement learning are developed and concisely reviewed. Development on intelligent horizon(iHorizon)and its applications are also presented towards parallel *** proposed parallel driving offers an ample solution for achieving a smooth, safe and efficient cooperation among connected automated vehicles with different levels of automation in future road transportation systems.

This paper investigates the problem of event-triggered H∞state estimation for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy affine systems. The objective is to design an event-triggered scheme and an observer such that the resulting estimation error system is asymptotically stable with a prescribed H∞performance and at the same time unnecessary output measurement transmission can be reduced. First, an event-triggered scheme is proposed to determine whether the sampled measurements should be transmitted or not. The output measurements, which trigger the condition, are supposed to suffer a network-induced time-varying and bounded delay before arriving at the observer. Then, by adopting the input delay method, the estimation error system can be reformulated as a piecewise delay system. Based on the piecewise Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional and the Finsler's lemma, the event-triggered H∞observer design method is developed. Moreover, an algorithm is proposed to co-design the observer gains and the event-triggering parameters to guarantee that the estimation error system is asymptotically stable with a given disturbance attenuation level and the signal transmission rate is reduced as much as possible. Simulation studies are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Structured fabrics have great potential in designing intelligent devices with their reconfigurable features and tunable mechanical responses, but existing studies have primarily explored stiffness and deformations without focusing on their load-bearing capacities. Here, we investigate the failure mechanism and mechanical responses of a structured fabric formed under various combinations of geometric features. Guided by experimental tests, we confirm the influence of geometric features that lead to rod fracture or membrane tearing due to different interaction mechanisms. Our findings indicate that the specific ultimate bearing capacity can be tuned within an order of magnitude with different parameter combinations. This study offers valuable insights into the governing factors in controlling the load-bearing capabilities of structured fabrics and lays the foundation for developing on-demand impact-protecting composites across fields.

In this paper, a mechanical transmission based on cable pulley is proposed for human-like actuation in the artificial ankle joints of human-scale. The anatomy articular characteristics of the human ankle is discussed for proper biomimetic inspiration in designing an accurate, efficient, and robust motion control of artificial ankle joint devices. The design procedure is presented through the inclusion of conceptual considerations and design details for an interactive solution of the transmission system. A mechanical design is elaborated for the ankle joint angular with pitch motion. A multi-body dynamic simulation model is elaborated accordingly and evaluated numerically in the ADAMS environment. Results of the numerical simulations are discussed to evaluate the dynamic performance of the proposed design solution and to investigate the feasibility of the proposed design in future applications for humanoid robots.
