As a result, the active disturbance rejectioncontroller (ADRC) has been widely applied in various fields. However, in controlling plant protection unmannedaerial vehicles (UAVs), which are typically large and subject to significant disturbances, load disturbances andthe possibility of multiple actuator faults during pesticide spraying pose significant challenges. To address theseissues, this paper proposes a novel fault-tolerant control method that combines a radial basis function neuralnetwork (RBFNN) with a second-order ADRC and leverages a fractional gradient descent (FGD) algorithm.We integrate the plant protection UAV model’s uncertain parameters, load disturbance parameters, and actuatorfault parameters and utilize the RBFNN for system parameter identification. The resulting ADRC exhibits loaddisturbance suppression and fault tolerance capabilities, and our proposed active fault-tolerant control law hasLyapunov stability implications. Experimental results obtained using a multi-rotor fault-tolerant test platformdemonstrate that the proposed method outperforms other control strategies regarding load disturbance suppressionand fault-tolerant performance.展开更多

In this paper, the type 304 austenitic stainless steel is welded by a 5 kW high-power fiber laser and a high-speed camera is employed to capture the topside images of weld pools. Then we propose a robust visual-detection approach for the molten pool based on the supervised descent method. It provides an elegant framework for representing the outline of a weld pool and is especially efficient for weld pool detection in the presence of strong uncertainties and disturbances. Finally, welding experimental results verified that the proposed approach can extract the weld pool boundary accurately, which will lay a solid foundation for controlling the weld quality of fiber laser welding process.展开更多

With the aid of an auxiliary function, this method enables to convert the problem of finding one discrete minimizer of the objective function f to that of finding another at each cycle. The auxiliary function can ensure that a point, except a prescribed point, is not its integer stationary point if the value of objective function at the point is greater than the scalar which is chosen properly. This property leads to a better minimizer of f found more easily by some classical local search methods. The computational results show that this algorithm is quite efficient and reliable for solving nonlinear integer programming problems.展开更多

Fifteen healthy young men (mean age: 22.1 ± 1.6 years) walked while holding four different loads relative to each subject’s body mass (0, 20, 40 and 60% of body mass: BM) on their backs. Stance time, swing time, and double support times were selected as gait parameters. All parameters showed a maximal value during stair ascent and a minimum value during level walking. Stance and double support times increased significan- tly with each load during level walking and during stair ascent and descent. In conclusion, st- air ascent and descent creates more unstable movement than level walking regardless of the weight of the load. The effect of loads on gait increases with the weight of the load and becomes obvious once the load exceeds 60% of BM.展开更多

Temperature prediction modeling is a complicated problem with its MIMO, nonlinear, and large time-delay characteristics. Support vector machine( SVM) has been successfully based on small data. But its accuracy is not high,in contrast,if the number of data and dimension of feature increase,the training time of model will increase dramatically. In this paper,a linear SVM was applied combing with cyclic coordinate descent( CCD) to solving big data regression. It was mathematically strictly proved and validated by simulation. Meanwhile,real data were conducted to prove the linear SVM model's effect. Compared with other methods for big data in simulation, this algorithm has apparent advantage not only in fast modeling but also in high fitness.展开更多

Global Positioning System (GPS) is primarily susceptible to this form of space weather. Faulty GPS signals are attributed to ionospheric error, which is a function of Total Electron Content (TEC). Importantly, precise forecasts of space weather conditions and appropriate hazard observant cautions required for ionospheric space weather obser- vations are limited. In this paper, a fuzzy logic-based gradient descent method has been proposed to forecast the ionospheric TEC values. In this technique, membership functions have been tuned based on the gradient descent estimated values. The proposed algorithm has been tested with the TEC data of two geomagnetic storms in the low latitude station of KL University, Guntur, India (16.44°N, 80.62°E). It has been found that the gradient descent method performs well and the predicted TEC values are close to the original TEC measurements.展开更多

The proposed algorithm has been tested with the TEC data of two geomagnetic storms in the low latitude station of KL University, Guntur, India (16.44°N, 80.62°E). It has been found that the gradient descent method performs well and the predicted TEC values are close to the original TEC measurements.
文摘In a wireless sensor network[1],the operation of a node depends on the battery power it carries.Because of the environmental reasons,the node cannot replace the battery.In order to improve the life cycle of the network,energy becomes one of the key problems in the design of the wireless sensor network(WSN)routing protocol[2].This paper proposes a routing protocol ERGD based on the method of gradient descent that can minimizes the consumption of energy.Within the communication radius of the current node,the distance between the current node and the next hop node is assumed that can generate a projected energy at the distance from the current node to the base station(BS),this projected energy and the remaining energy of the next hop node is the key factor in finding the next hop node.The simulation results show that the proposed protocol effectively extends the life cycle of the network and improves the reliability and fault tolerance of the system.
