By combining the relation of system linear momentum conversation with the Lagrangian approach, the dynamic equation of a robot is established. Based on the above results, the free-floating dual-arm space robot system is modeled with RBF neural networks, the GL matrix and its product operator. With all uncertain inertial system parameters, an adaptive RBF neural network control scheme is developed for coordinated motion between the base attitude and the arm joints. The proposed scheme does not need linear parameterization of the dynamic equation of the system and any accurate prior-knowledge of the actual inertial parameters. Also it does not need to train the neural network offline so that it would present real-time and online applications. A planar free-floating dual-arm space robot is simulated to show feasibility of the proposed scheme.展开更多

Existing solutions typically involve re-balancing strategies (i.e., re-sampling and re-weighting). Although they can significantly promote the classifier learning of deep networks, they will unexpectedly impair the representative ability of the learned deep features to a certain extent. Therefore, this paper proposes a dual-channel learning algorithm with involution neural networks (DC-Invo) to take care of representation learning and classifier learning concurrently. In this work, the most important thing is to combine ResNet and involution to obtain higher classification accuracy because of involution’s wider coverage in the spatial dimension. The paper conducted extensive experiments on several benchmark vision tasks including Cifar-LT, Imagenet-LT, and Places-LT, showing that DC-Invo is able to achieve significant performance gained on long-tailed datasets.展开更多
