In this paper, science, art, and new media are combined through artistic rendering, visual processing, and the technology of virtual reality (VR) and holography, which makes the exploration of the latest deep-sea lander and intelligent submersible named “Luling” look more intuitive and smart and have more visual impact and expression. Apart from that, automatic manipulation videos of the rover robot in the deep sea captured by the Luling are effectively nested to realize the goal of virtual and real presentation. The designed scientific visualization of deep-sea equipment can not only adapt to the display output of VR, mobile phones, TV, 360° showcase, and other platforms, but also achieve immersive experience and virtual simulation learning through HTC Vive VR equipment. The technology and design way of scientific visualization in this paper is universal and suitable to the same kind of engineering simulation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100288,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Robotics","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 284-292"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49710711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analytical results clarified that meaningful contribution of payload weight to the motion resistance force (15.26–28.05 N) was marginal (< 8 times) in comparison with that of robot forward speed. Hence, adjustment of the forward speed than payload weight is suggested as priority. Modeling results described that combinatorial effect of robot forward speed and payload weight on the motion resistance force was synergetic. This disclosed linear increasing dependency of the motion resistance force on concurrent proliferation of robot forward speed and payload weight. Overall, these results are profitable for redesign and performance optimization of tractor-trailer robot with rubber tracked undercarriage in order to proliferate autonomous transportation capacity of payloads, especially for indoor and outdoor shipping and warehouse of factories and industrial environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100288,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Robotics","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 173-184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49710729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To use such services, mobile users need to provide location information and request query content. However, this process inevitably leads to the leakage of users’ privacy information, which poses a great threat to their property and personal safety. To address the privacy leakage in location services, this paper proposes a location privacy protection method based on ball tree (LP-BT). We first use the ball tree as a spatial index structure, and then do fuzzification on the location information of end users to obtain the maximum primary anonymous entropy, and combine the neural network learning algorithm to predict the corresponding entropy value. Finally, the final entropy is obtained based on the average entropy of the two stages. Experimental results on public dataset manifest that our model is superior to other models such as random selection model and path-based fake location generation model in terms of privacy protection level, user density and anonymization time overhead.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100288,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Robotics","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 127-134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49732906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Choosing energy-efficient components such as motors, drives, and controllers can significantly reduce energy consumption in industrial robots. Over-sized motors and heavy robot arms can waste energy and decrease efficiency of industrial robots. By optimizing the robot programs and reducing idle time in robot operations, the amount of spent time can be reduced to minimize energy consumption of industrial robots. By using energy-efficient motors and drives, the amount of energy consumed by the robot can be reduced. Also, regular maintenance can reduce energy consumption of industrial robots by providing maximum efficiency for the robot's components. By implementing energy management systems, energy consumption of industrial robot can be monitored and analyzed to optimize energy consumption of industrial robot during working conditions. To minimize lost energy and reuse the energy usage during working times, regenerative braking can be used in the robots. The process of part manufacturing can be optimized in order to minimize the robot's movements and energy usage during working times of industrial robots. To analyze and optimize energy consumption in working schedules of industrial robots, different methodologies from recent published papers are reviewed in the study.

Multiscale features cross time and frequency domains are respectively extracted from raw vibration signal, which are then fused with a co-attention mechanism. This architecture fuses layer-wise activations to enable CDCAN to fully learn the shared representation with consistency across time and frequency domains. This characteristic helps CDCAN provide more faithful diagnoses than state-of-the-art methods. Experiments on bearing and gearbox datasets are conducted to evaluate the fault-diagnosis performance.

Multiple features were considered such as tracking error, rising time, faster transient response with finite-time convergence, oscillation reduction, and pressure stabilization in the pneumatic system. Experiments were conducted using a single finger of a tri-finger pneumatic gripper (TPG) robot, actuated by a single proportional valve with a double-acting cylinder (PPVDC). Two types of input trajectories were tested: step and sine wave inputs, which are common and critical for pneumatic systems. The results show that the proposed method eliminates oscillation and achieves high tracking performance within the prescribed bounds and minimal overshoot as well. The oscillation was suppressed with minimal overshoot and fast response was achieved by tuning the formulated adjustable prescribe performance function, thus improving the rising time response without significant loss of performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100288,"journal":{"name":"Cognitive Robotics","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 93-106"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49732631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
