To tackle the distributed time-varying constrained optimization (DTVCO) problem, each agent in the MAS communicates with its neighbors while relying solely on local information, such as its own objective function and constraints, to compute the optimal solution. We propose a novel penalty-based zeroing neural network (PB-ZNN) to solve the continuous-time DTVCO (CTDTVCO) problem. The PB-ZNN model incorporates two penalty functions: The first penalizes agents for deviating from the states of their neighbors, driving all agents to reach a consensus, and the second penalizes agents for falling outside the feasible range, ensuring that the solutions of all agents remain within the constraints. The PB-ZNN model solves the CTDTVCO problem in a semi-centralized manner, where information exchange between agents is distributed, but computation is centralized. Building on the semi-centralized PB-ZNN model, we adopt the Euler formula to develop a distributed PB-ZNN (DPB-ZNN) algorithm for solving the discrete-time DTVCO (DTDTVCO) problem in a fully distributed manner. We present and prove the convergence theorems of the proposed PB-ZNN model and DPB-ZNN algorithm.

To address this gap, we propose a sparse convolution operator tailored for event-based cameras. By selectively skipping invalid sub-convolutions and efficiently reorganizing valid computations, our operator reduces computational workload by nearly 90% and achieves almost 2× acceleration in processing speed, while maintaining the same accuracy as dense convolution operators.

According to biological studies, the coordinated motion of the arms and waist can significantly enhance walking speed and stability in humans. However, existing humanoid robot walking control frameworks predominantly focus on leg control, often overlooking the utilization of upper body joints. In this paper, a novel walking control framework combining the improved footstep planner and the whole-body coordination controller is proposed, aiming to improve the humanoid robot's tracking accuracy of desired speeds and its dynamic walking capability. First, we analyze the issues in traditional footstep planners based on Linear Inverted Pendulum and Model Predictive Control (LIP-MPC). By reconstructing the footstep optimization problem during walking using the Center-of-Mass (CoM) position, we propose an improved footstep planner to enhance the control accuracy of the desired walking speed in humanoid robots. Next, based on biological research, we define a coordinated control strategy for the arms and waist during walking. Specifically, the waist increases the robot's step length, while the arms counteract disturbance momentum and maintain balance. Based on the aforementioned strategy, we design a whole-body coordination controller for the humanoid robot. This controller adopts a novel hierarchical design approach, in which the dynamics and motion controllers for the upper and lower body are modeled and managed separately. This helps avoid the issue of poor control performance caused by multi-task coupling in traditional whole-body controllers. Finally, we integrate these controllers into a novel walking control framework and validate it on the simulation prototype of the humanoid robot Dexbot. Simulation results show that the proposed framework significantly enhances the maximum walking capability of the humanoid robot, demonstrating its feasibility and effectiveness.</p>","PeriodicalId":12628,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Neurorobotics","volume":"19 ","pages":"1538979"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11885507/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143584898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
