The exercise is basically a series of repeated assistive physical movements within the range of motion (RoM) of the joint. Reflex action of limbs during RoM exercise causes inappropriate balance of load which may cause secondary injuries, such as damages of muscle or tendon tissues. Establishing correlation between impedance data and limb motions is important to solve this problem. This paper aims to design and modeling of a robotic arm with an original approach in control strategy which is developed based on the correlation in between the joint-impedances and joint-motion characteristics during exercise. The knee joint impedances are estimated based on the internal feedback of the system dynamics, that lead to design the torque compensator to improve the overall control signals in real time. This paper also demonstrates the characteristics of various responses of the system during exercise with human subject.

The detection, collection, sorting, and removal of plastic trash from such water surfaces has been the subject of relatively little robotic research, despite the dire circumstances. From private sources, there are very few individual efforts to be found. In order to attain great efficiency without human assistance or operation, a fully autonomous water surface cleaning robot is proposed in this study.

An efficient object identification machine learning technique can be suggested for the creation of autonomous cleaning robots. This study improved the Single Short Detection (SSD) method to recognise objects accurately. Because of the enhanced detection techniques, the robot is able to collect trash on its own.

In this paper, deep separable convolution is introduced to reduce the computation of the model. Then, PR regularization term is used as the regularization term of sparse training to better distinguish scaling factors, and then the hybrid pruning combining channel pruning and layer pruning is carried out on the model according to scaling factors, in order to reduce the number of model parameters and the amount of calculation. Finally, since the training data is a 32-bit floating point number, DoReFa-Net quantization method is used to quantify the model, so as to compress the storage capacity of the model.

However, due to the scarcity of mineral resources, opportunities to rely on alternative energy are escalating. As a result, exploration of ocean resources, which exist abundantly in the sea, is being pursued. However, the manual exploration of ocean resources by diving and visually searching is dangerous and impractical. Therefore, it is pertinent to safely advance underwater exploration by having robots perform the work instead. In underwater environments, robots are commonly used as a mainstream exploration tool due to the various hazardous environmental conditions. However, there are several problems with controlling robots in underwater environments, and one of them is poor visibility underwater. Therefore, to improve visibility underwater, efforts are being made to achieve high resolution using super-resolution technology on underwater images. In this paper we first introduce the general model and architecture in GAN.

The unstructured and irregular nature of point clouds makes it difficult to directly apply traditional deep learning methods, so point cloud deep learning is still in its infancy. However, some progress has been made in the field of deep learning for point clouds. Researchers have proposed many innovative methods and network architectures for solving tasks such as classification, segmentation, generation, and detection of point cloud data.
