An adaptive reinforcement learning-based multimodal data fusion framework for human–robot confrontation gaming
No full text: Playing games between humans and robots have become a widespread human-robot confrontation (HRC) application. Although many approaches were proposed to enhance the tracking accuracy by combining different information, the problems of the intelligence degree of the robot and the anti-interference ability of the motion capture system still need to be solved. In this paper, we present an adaptive reinforcement learning (RL) based multimodal data fusion (AdaRL-MDF) framework teaching the robot hand to play Rock-Paper-Scissors (RPS) game with humans. It includes an adaptive learning mechanism to update the ensemble classifier, an RL model providing intellectual wisdom to the robot, and a multimodal data fusion structure offering resistance to interference. The corresponding experiments prove the mentioned functions of the AdaRL-MDF model. The comparison accuracy and computational time show the high performance of the ensemble model by combining k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) and deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). In addition, the depth vision-based k-NN classifier obtains a 100% identification accuracy so that the predicted gestures can be regarded as the real value. The demonstration illustrates the real possibility of HRC application. The theory involved in this model provides the possibility of developing HRC intelligence

Passive photonic integrated ratiometric wavelength monitor with resolution better than 15 pm
No full textThis paper presents a compact and low-loss photonic integrated device consistingof a Y-branch and a pair of multimode interferometers (MMI) for a ratiometric wavelength monitoring around 1550 nm on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technique. Two MMIs are designed in terms of width and length to achieve overlapping but opposite slope spectral responses used as two edge filters over a wavelength measurement range from 1500 nm to 1600 nm. The developed integrated photonic ratiometric structure demonstrates a suitable discrimination range for a high-speed passive wavelength measurement, with a high resolution better than 15 pm over a 100 nm wavelength range

Optimization Design of Anti-Dust Accumulation Centrifugal Fan Using Genetic Algorithm
No full textCentrifugal fans are widely used in different fields. The working fluid with high concentration of dust or coal ash could result in accumulations of dust or ash on the surface of impellor. Consequently, the fan or process system often has to be shut down unplanned to clean the dust or ash, to prevent harmful vibration of the rotor. In this paper, the main accumulating positions of dust and ash in impellor were firstly summarized. Then, a model of dust particle adhesion force judgment was established on the basis of static force analysis. Base on the analysis result, the influences of blade angle and blade radii on the dust-accumulating positions were discussed, which conformed to practical observations. After that, there introduces a low flow rate fan which cannot even be used in practical applications due to its inferior dust anti-adhesion ability. For this case, an optimization design with eight control variables was proposed to improve its anti-adhesion ability and efficiency. After six generations of optimization, the optimized results were clustered to two domains. Therefore, the searching areas were limited down to two areas which are determined by using clustering method in order to speed up the optimization process. The results of the numerical simulation of the gas-solid two-phase flow based on discrete phase model (DPM) showed that the new fan can run stably for a long-term.</jats:p
