In order to automate the planning of treatment parameters in the robot-assisted ESWT, a prerequisite is to clarity the influence of all predictive factors (not only treatment parameters, but also demographic and clinical factors) on treatment effect. However, it is hard to mathematically model the influence of all these predictive factors on treatment effect. Aiming at the radial ESWT (rESWT) of delayed union, this paper analyzes the ranking of importance (degree of explanation) of each predictive factor to the treatment effect of rESWT using the multi-layer perceptron and verifies it using the random forest for consistency. The results indicate that, of all the predictive factors of patient, only the course of disease and BMI have a strong correlation with the successful rESWT treatment of delayed union, while other factors have no significant linear correlation. This conclusion provides a reference for parameter selection in the automatic planning of treatment parameters in robot-assisted orthopedic rESWT.","PeriodicalId":106730,"journal":{"name":"2022 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114969599","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}

In this method, the complicated calibration of the actual robot containing various error sources is converted to a simple one of the equivalent robot only containing configuration-dependent joint motion errors. For the lower-mobility robot, which has n (less than 6) degree of freedom, other 6-n virtual joints need to be introduced into the equivalent robot to meet the completeness requirement. A simplified local POE formula is used to build the relationship between the pose error and joint motion errors, and an artificial neural network is used to approximate the relationship between joint motion errors and nominal joint variables. By integrating the two models, the error model of the equivalent robot can be deduced and then used for calibration. Simulation results on a typical serial robot show that the proposed method can reduce pose errors significantly.","PeriodicalId":106730,"journal":{"name":"2022 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124643769","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}

This paper rebuilds the rotation error model considering the soft magnetism, hard magnetism and electromagnetism of autonomous underwater vehicle. A new in-situ calibration method based on Marine Predators Algorithm(MPA) is proposed, which calibrate the rotation error by using on site data and compensate the error parameters adaptively. Outdoor pool test and sea trial have been completed and original data was calibrated by different algorithm. The results show that the calibration applying MPA achieves best performance rather than other algorithm, and iteration efficiency of MPA is also the best.","PeriodicalId":106730,"journal":{"name":"2022 WRC Symposium on Advanced Robotics and Automation (WRC SARA)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125865688","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}

However, this kind of low-precision data cannot be used to establish an accurate Arctic climate model. As a new type of mobile observation platform, the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used for in-situ observation. And they are widely used for scientific research in the Antarctic and Arctic regions because of their flexibility, low cost and applicability to high-risk areas.
