A BiLSTM detector was pretrained on a dataset collected from 50 healthy volunteers (45 for training, 5 for independent testing) using bilateral surface EMG recordings from six lower-limb muscles (12 EMG channels), 16-channel EEG, and hip-knee kinematics. Seven naive participants then completed ten 20-m outward-and-return walking trials (10 m outward and 10 m return) under each of three control modes (EMG, EEG, hybrid). Primary outcomes were triggering latency and classification accuracy. Triggering latency was defined as the time interval between the onset of the gait-transition event and the activation of the exoskeleton assistance command.

Hybrid EEG-EMG fusion therefore improved decoding performance while reducing triggering latency compared with unimodal decoding strategies.

Traditional static visual detection models experience feature degradation under environmental changes. Conventional pseudo-labeling techniques exhibit confirmation bias when processing complex samples, and models encounter knowledge forgetting during the continuous absorption of unlabeled data streams. This paper constructs an adaptive visual diagnostic framework for complex scenes, integrating unsupervised domain adaptation with continuous learning. At the feature extraction level, by introducing a BiFPN node, the network compensates for multi-scale spatial distortions caused by environmental changes while maintaining computational economy. A pseudo-label bidirectional recovery mechanism constrained by dynamic thresholds is utilized to extract supervision signals and alleviate confirmation bias. During the parameter iteration phase, a structured predictive distillation loss function is integrated to mitigate the knowledge forgetting phenomenon during continuous data absorption.

Furthermore, a task-driven shared control model mapping the G-BCI system and the leader-follower UAV swarm control strategy was proposed. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, eight participants were recruited to conduct both offline and online experiments.

This paper proposes a two-layer hierarchical MPPT architecture based on an adaptive fuzzy-weighted eagle perching optimization algorithm, designated AF-EPO. Unlike existing fuzzy-metaheuristic MPPT hybrids that apply fuzzy logic as an exogenous regulator to secondary control variables while retaining fixed-parameter core dynamics, AF-EPO embeds the fuzzy inference system directly into the endogenous EPO scaling factor, jointly driven by iteration progress and population diversity, thereby addressing three persistent limitations of metaheuristic MPPT through structural changes absent from existing fuzzy-hybrid formulations: the fixed-parameter exploration-exploitation dilemma, the computational overhead of unconditional global search, and the residual steady-state power oscillation that persists in all population-based methods. A slope sign-reversal detection module first identifies whether the power-voltage curve is unimodal or multi-modal, activating the global search layer only when partial shading is confirmed. In the global layer, a 25-rule Mamdani fuzzy inference system dynamically adjusts the EPO scaling factor according to iteration progress and population diversity, balancing exploration and exploitation throughout the search. A variable-step incremental conductance controller then refines the operating point to suppress steady-state oscillation. Simulations across three scenarios demonstrate that AF-EPO reduces tracking time by 47.3%, power oscillation rate by 74.6%, and energy loss by 38.2% compared with standard EPO.
