People with SCD have a higher chance of developing mild cognitive impairment and AD than those aging normally. In the present study, we collected resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) data for 69 patients with SCD and 75 normal controls (NC); using statistical analysis, a support vector machine (SVM), and graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs), we examined the brain-related differences between patients with SCD and NC. Clinical scale scores show the best distinguishing ability between patients with SCD and NC, and we further used the two-sample t-test, SVM, and GCN model with an attention mechanism to obtain the top 10 brain regions contributing to performance on recognition tasks. The results showed that the thalamus, and cingulum in the Anatomical Automatic Labeling template showed significant differences between patients with SCD and NC. We further discussed the roles of these identified brain regions in the diagnosis of SCD and AD. Our research thus provided statistical evidence that can aid in identifying early-stage AD.","PeriodicalId":120073,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125423962","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}

Altitude stability is usually achieved by using a PID controller that is built into the flight controller software. Furthermore, the PID controller has gains that need to be tuned to reach optimal altitude stabilization during the quadcopter’s flight. For that, control system engineers need to tune those gains by using extensive modeling of the environment, which might change from one environment and condition to another. As quadcopters penetrate more sectors from the military to the consumer sectors, they have been put into complex and challenging environments more than ever before. Hence, intelligent self-stabilizing quadcopters are needed to maneuver through those complex environments and situations. Here we show that by using online reinforcement learning with minimal background knowledge, the altitude stability of the quadcopter can be achieved using a model-free approach. We found that by using background knowledge and an activation function like Sigmoid, altitude stabilization can be achieved faster with a small memory footprint. In addition, using this approach will accelerate development by avoiding extensive simulations before applying the PID gains to the real-world quadcopter. Our results demonstrate the possibility of using the trial and error approach of reinforcement learning combined with activation function and background knowledge to achieve faster quadcopter altitude stabilization in different environments and conditions.","PeriodicalId":120073,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126716824","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}

Multi-beam bathymetry sonar can be used to reconstruct terrain map of seafloor. However, this 3D map is not able to express details of objects well. Accurate underwater targets can only be reconstructed through the camera. However, the existing research has problems such as sparse point cloud in real-time reconstruction and time-consuming for dense point cloud reconstruction. In this paper, we propose an underwater real-time 3D reconstruction system based on stereo camera. Aiming at the problem of blurred underwater images, we propose a lightweight image enhancement algorithm. For the problem of real-time point cloud generation, we adopt the method of computing disparity maps by using stereo cameras. We fuse edge information in the process of computing the disparity map, which improves the accuracy of the disparity map. For multi-view point cloud stitching, we propose a fusion stitching method based on SLAM system and dense point cloud. Our method has been tested in indoor pools and sea areas near the marina respectively. The experimental results show that our method has certain advantages in the 3D reconstruction effect and accuracy of underwater objects.","PeriodicalId":120073,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116014304","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, the use of vascular interventional surgery robots (VISR) is still subject to some limitations. One of the limitations is that the inconsistency of the master-slave structure leads to the complexity of the entire robot structure. Another limitation is that the operation method of the master manipulator is different from the vascular interventional surgery, which makes it difficult for doctors to use their surgical experience. In this paper, a novel clamping mechanism was proposed. It can be used on both the master side and the slave side with the same structure and the operation methods on the master side is the same as that of traditional surgery. It means that the robot will have the consistency of master-slave structure by using the proposed clamping mechanism, which is advantageous for simplification of robot structure.

Therefore, this paper designs a high-precision visual positioning strategy for a complex environment via fusing stereo visual odometry and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data. A multi-sensor calibration method is utilized to compensate for the measurement error of IMU and the parameter error of the stereo camera. A multi-sensor data synchronization alignment method based on timestamp is also designed to realize the synchronous acquisition and processing of multi-sensor data. Based on the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm, we implement a nonlinear data coupling method to fuse the stereo visual odometry and IMU information to obtain high-precision positioning.
