Abstract

The rapid progression of technology and robotics has brought about a transformative revolution in various fields. From industrial automation to healthcare and beyond, robots have become integral parts of our society, such as using them to move laparoscopic cameras. Eye-gaze-based control in robotics is a cutting-edge innovation, providing enhanced human–robot interaction and control. However, current research is in the underexplored area of gaze-based control for robotics. This paper presents a systematic bibliometric analysis review of controlling robots using gaze estimation. The aim is to provide a research map overview of the use of eye gaze to control robots by clustering application areas based on ISIC-UN and several data acquisition technologies. Over the past 10 years, the number of publications in this field has been relatively stable, averaging 21.5 papers per year, with minimal fluctuations in annual article counts (σ = 4.9). This differs from research on robotics, which grows by an average of 1376 papers per year. Research on using eye gaze for robot control in the last 10 years in the field of human health and social work has only resulted in 17 articles; transportation and storage resulted in 12 articles; professional, scientific, and technical activities resulted in eight articles; information and communication resulted in five articles; and education and art resulted in two articles. Data acquisition technology for eye gaze research, primarily using a commercial eye tracker. Thus, there is significant potential for future research through the utilization of gaze estimation in various fields, as mentioned above.

Abstract

This work introduces a brand-new approach to be employed for correctly assessing healthy person’s brain aging, masking what constitutes the most serious challenge in the fight against age-related cognitive decline. An approach is serviced by 2D CNNs, a simpler technology to state-of-the-art 3D model, to yield close to accurate forecast. Our algorithm improves telling in two respects. By virtue of this, we will utilize well-known ImageNet-pre-trained classifiers to suggest initial brain age predictions. This process sets the tone of the core of our business model in terms of dependability and reliability. Next, we improve the networks’ performance through progressively expanding their capacity via fine-tuning on pre-segmentation tasks using the neuroimaging datasets which are openly available. This stage increases the predictive accuracy in addition to ensuring that there is transparency and flexibility because it utilizes open datasets. Our research's strength is that it encompasses all techniques and fields necessary for brain age estimation and adopts justifiable evaluation metrics. As a result, this conduct adds to the literature. Our study not only points out deficiencies in private datasets but reels out the validity of our approach by using the public data instead to give the results another direction of accessibility and reproducibility.

Abstract

Modern challenges in climate prediction necessitate the adoption of advanced deep learning architectures for enhanced precision in temperature forecasting. This study undertakes a comparative evaluation of various neural network designs, particularly focusing on Deep Recurrent Neural Networks (DRNN) and their extension with Gated Recurrent Units (DRNN-GRU), chosen for their proven efficacy in sequential data analysis and long-term dependency capture. Leveraging a comprehensive meteorological dataset, collected from 1961 to 2023, which includes atmospheric temperature, pressure, and precipitation levels, the research unfolds a nuanced understanding of the climate variability. The evaluation framework rigorously applies Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) metrics to quantify model performance. The DRNN and DRNN-GRU architectures are distinguished for their superior predictive accuracy, suggesting their high potential for real-world forecasting applications. These findings are not merely academic; they imply substantial practical implications, particularly for geographic information systems where they can enhance climate monitoring and resource management. The paper culminates with recommendations for dataset expansion and diversified analytical techniques, which are critical for refining the predictive prowess of these models. This research thereby sets a benchmark for future explorations in the field and directs towards innovative avenues to augment the scientific understanding of climate dynamics.

Abstract

Parallel robot systems are increasingly important and widely applied due to their superior advantages such as high speed and accuracy. To improve the accuracy of these systems, recent research has focused on developing advanced control methods. However, this remains a significant challenge due to the complex mathematical model of parallel robots. This study introduces a control system based on a fuzzy cerebellar model articulation controller (FCMAC) to control parallel robots. The proposed control system includes FCMAC as the main tracking controller used to estimate the ideal control. A robust controller is employed to compensate for the error between FCMAC and the ideal controller. The parameters of FCMAC are adjusted online based on adaptive laws derived from Lyapunov functions. Finally, a five-bar parallel robot is selected to experiment with the FCMAC algorithm to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. The results show that the accuracy of FCMAC is better than that of other algorithms.

Abstract

Parallel robot systems have become increasingly applied due to significant advantages such as fast operating speed and high accuracy. Researchers are currently focusing on developing advanced control methods to increase the accuracy of this system. However, these advances face many challenges, including system dynamics and uncertain components in impact factors. Therefore, achieving a high level of accuracy remains a challenging problem and requires continued effort and careful research. This study proposes to use the Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (CMAC) to estimate the nonlinear components of the system. By applying Lyapunov theory, this method focuses on adapting CMAC's online learning rules while ensuring stability and convergence. Besides using CMAC, the paper proposes a new signed distance method instead of sliding mode control (SMC) to handle input errors. This method aims to increase flexibility and adaptability and overcome the chattering of SMC in nonlinear systems. In particular, the research also adds a robust controller to ensure stability using Lyapunov to improve the system's accuracy. These recommendations increase the flexibility and accuracy of the control system, helping the system respond more quickly to changes and uncertainties in the operating environment. Finally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller, a five-bar parallel robot was chosen to conduct experiments in case situations. The results show that the proposed controller combined with signed distance achieves higher accuracy than other algorithms and is more stable in all cases mentioned in the research.

Abstract

Knot-tying, a crucial yet intricate surgical task, remains a challenge in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RAMIS) performed under teleoperation. While existing studies on automated knot-tying mostly focus on rigid-link robots, whose dexterity, adaptability, and inherent safety in RAMIS are outperformed by continuum robots, this research takes a novel approach by developing a unique cooperative control scheme for bimanual continuum robots, specifically designed for automated knot-tying tasks in RAMIS. We meticulously plan two effective knot-tying trajectory scenarios and develop the cooperative control scheme for the bimanual continuum robots, leveraging the well-known Jacobian transpose kinematic algorithms to ensure their precise and collaborative knot-tying trajectory tracking performance. The control scheme incorporates a switching mechanism to guarantee the robots’ collaboration and synchronous operation during the knot-tying trajectory tracking process. The effectiveness of our cooperative control scheme is illustrated through simulation studies using MATLAB/Simulink in terms of trajectory tracking performance. Meanwhile, ten Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to analyze the system’s robustness against pulse disturbances that could occur in surgical settings. All ten simulations returned similar error values despite the increasing disturbance levels applied. The results not only demonstrate the seamless collaboration and synchronous operation of the bimanual continuum robots in precisely tracking the pre-planned knot-tying trajectories with errors less than 0.0017 m but also highlight the stability, effective tuning and robustness of our cooperative control system against pulse disturbances. This study demonstrates precision, robustness, and autonomy in bimanual continuum robotic knottying in RAMIS, promising safe robot-patient interaction and reduced surgeon workload and surgery time.

Abstract

This study addresses the subsea search performance of an autonomous underwater vehicle equipped with a search sensor and an environment characterization sensor. The performance of the search sensor is assumed to be dependent on characteristics of the local environment, and thus sensor performance in some locations can be different than in other locations. For the case that the agent is able to occasionally characterize the environment, and therefore estimate the performance of its search sensor, we describe a method for selecting when and where to characterize the environment and when and where to search in order to maximize overall search effectiveness. Our work accounts for false positives, false negatives and uncertainty in the performance of the search sensor that varies geographically. We show that effort applied to characterizing the environment, and therefore the performance of the search sensor, can improve search performance. We derive a utility function that is used to compute the best path and when to switch between the tasks of search and environmental characterization. The objective of the subsea search mission is to maximize the probability of attaining a desired level of risk reduction, and we terminate the search mission as soon as it is found that the desired risk reduction cannot be attained. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that addresses the problem of attaining a desired level of risk and stopping the mission when the desired risk is found to be unachievable. Through numerical illustrations, we show realistic scenarios where the findings of this study can be useful to improve search effectiveness and attain the desired level of risk where the standard exhaustive search techniques will fail to achieve.

Abstract

The mobile robot is a system that can work in various environments. This means that the robot must be able to navigate without delay and avoid any obstacles placed within the boundaries of its movement. Designing mobile robots that can be intelligently managed and operate autonomously when traveling from one place to another requires at least two steps. To start with, path planning is required to prevent motion collisions. Tracking the robot's trajectory is a crucial second task. The primary goal of this study is to find the quickest and safest path between the two positions. In this work, we investigated the path planning of a mobile robot with dynamic, and dynamic obstacles with moving goal environments using RRT, BiRRT, and HA* algorithms. These algorithms are easy, computationally inexpensive, and simple to use. They have been chosen for numerous real-time path-planning applications. The DDMR's kinematic model has been utilized in this paper to control path tracking, and a PID controller has been proposed to reduce tracking deviations between the robot's actual route and the reference trajectory. This work introduced the PSO, FPA, CSA, SSA, BWOA, and proposed HBPO optimization techniques for obtaining PID parameters (k_p,k_i,k_d) for improved mobile robot trajectory tracking. The simulation results have been examined using three trajectory shapes: step, circular, and infinite. The simulation findings reveal that HA* outperforms the other algorithms by generating collision-free pathways that are smoother and shorter than their RRT and BiRRT equivalents. On the other hand, the proposed HBPO outperforms the other methods. The HBPO method converges quicker than the other proposed algorithms.

Abstract

Epileptic seizures, unpredictable in nature and potentially dangerous during activities like driving, pose significant risks to individual and public safety. Traditional diagnostic methods, which involve labour-intensive manual feature extraction from Electroencephalography (EEG) data, are being supplanted by automated deep learning frameworks. This paper introduces an automated epileptic seizure detection framework utilizing deep learning to bypass manual feature extraction. Our framework incorporates detailed pre-processing techniques: normalization via L2 normalization, filtering with an 80 Hz and 0,5 Hz Butterworth low-pass and high-pass filter, and a 50 Hz IIR Notch filter, channel selection based on standard deviation calculations and Mutual Information algorithm, and frequency domain transformation using FFT or STFT with Hann windows and 50% hop. We evaluated on two datasets: the first comprising 4 canines and 8 patients with 2.299 ictal, 23.445 interictal, and 32.915 test data, 400-5000Hz sampling rate across 16-72 channels; the second dataset, intended for testing, 733 icatal, 4.314 interictal, and 1908 test data, each 10 minutes long, recorded at 400Hz across 16 channels. Three deep learning architectures were assessed: CNN, LSTM, and a hybrid CNN-LSTM model-stems from their demonstrated efficacy in handling the complex nature of EEG data. Each model offers unique strengths, with the CNN excelling in spatial feature extraction, LSTM in temporal dynamics, and the hybrid model combining these advantages.  The CNN model, comprising 31 layers, yielded highest accuracy, achieving 91% on the first dataset (precision 92%, recall 91%, F1-score 91%) and 82% on the second dataset using a 30-second threshold. This threshold was chosen for its clinical relevance. The research advances epileptic seizure detection using deep learning, indicating a promising direction for future medical technology. Future work will focus on expanding dataset diversity and refining methodologies to build upon these foundational results.

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the efficacy of the newly developed Weevil Damage Optimization Algorithm (WDOA) for addressing harmonic distortion in multilevel inverters. Specifically, harmonics of the fifth and seventh orders are targeted for elimination in a seven-level cascaded multilevel inverter, while harmonics of the fifth, seventh, eleventh, and thirteenth orders are addressed in an eleven-level cascaded multilevel inverter. Through simulation studies encompassing different modulation index values, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the WDOA optimization algorithm in selectively removing harmonics and reducing overall harmonic distortion. While the results showcase promising outcomes, further quantitative metrics and comparative analysis are warranted to fully evaluate the algorithm's performance and its potential implications for practical applications in multilevel inverter systems.
