However, it is difficult to simultaneously and directly deal with joint physical limits in the approach formulation. This paper attempts address such a limitation by providing the first P-based motion planning (PMP) scheme that can readily handle joint physical limits. Specifically, the motion planning of physically-constrained robot manipulators is formulated as solving a linear kinematics system with bound constraint. By utilizing an exponential decay rule, a neurodynamic model is obtained to solve the above system. Such a model is discretized via Euler difference formula, and the new PMP scheme at velocity level is thus proposed for robot manipulators with joint physical limits. Comparative simulation results under the PUMA560 robot manipulator further verify the effective and superior performance of the proposed PMP scheme.","PeriodicalId":129062,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124791054","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}

As the size of AGVs grows over time, the possibility of traffic congestion is increasing rapidly, especially in a limited space. Therefore, the congestion-aware routing method is one of the most vital and fundamental topics in multi-AGV control research. In this paper, a two-stage congestion-minimizing routing method is presented. The proposed method not only plans paths that avoid congested areas, but also changes paths in real time to cope with the volatile traffic situations. An experiment is carried out to test the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method, and the results are highly promising in terms of alleviating traffic congestion.","PeriodicalId":129062,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125076629","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 the control design, single critic reinforcement learning method combined with fuzzy logic systems is used. Fuzzy logic systems approximator is used to compensate the nonlinearity of the systems. Compared with the actor-critic reinforcement learning method, single critic reinforcement learning requires only one network iterative training such that the training errors are smaller, and the calculation time caused by the iterative loop between actor and critic can be reduced. According to the analysis of Lyapunov stability theory, the proposed control design can achieve the control objective.

Loading large quantities of containers requires efficient port operations and an efficient container stowage plan (CSP). A CSP is the placement of containers onto the shipping plan slots, which should decrease loading cost and keep the ship stability. The yard operational efficiency, ship stability, and operational safety are the major factors that should be considered in port loading and unloading. Since, factors are related to others, to generate a CSP is proven to be NP-complete. This paper proposes a decision-support framework for determining a shipment plan, which is to achieve the optimal shipment objects by a planning model. The experimental results show that the proposed framework can improve the operating efficiency of the storage yard while keeping the ship’s stability and reducing the dangerous loading scenes.","PeriodicalId":129062,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124105754","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}

The gesture-based human-robot interaction is natural, convenient, and applicable, and can be applied to complex interactive scenarios. In this paper, considering the real-time nature of the human-robot cooperation(HRC) system and the variability of the interaction range, we combine Kinect V2.0 (far-range sensor) and Leap Motion (short-range and high precision sensor), and propose a real-time multi-sensor gesture interaction system. Firstly, a reasonable layout of two sensors is discussed to realize far-range perception of natural gesture interaction. Then, nine gestures are defined that are easy for users to remember and operate. At the same time, a gesture interactive mechanism is proposed that can automatically switch two sensors according to the distance of the operator’s position. It can better improve the defects such as occlusion and confusion in the process of gesture controlling, and solve the minimum distance constraint of Kinect. Finally, the interactive experiment proves the stability and accuracy of the system.","PeriodicalId":129062,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114011889","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 paper, we propose an improved competitive swarm optimization (ICSO) dedicated to deal with large-scale search space. Moreover, we incorporate ICSO into the MultiGPO framework, an efficient framework for many-objective problems, and name it as MultiGPO_ICSO. To validate the performance of MultiGPO_ICSO, we test all algorithms on LSMOP with dimensions varying from 100 to 500. Compared with other algorithms, MultiGPO_ICSO shows competitive performance on most problems with limited computational resources.

This work aims to solve this problem by combining the chaos theory and the idea of a Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm to enhance the randomness and diversity of solutions generated by WOA, so as not to fall into a locally optimal solution in the iteration as far as possible. Specifically, this work proposes a Chaotic Differential WOA (CDWOA), which is tested with 10 benchmark functions, and final optimization results are obtained to demonstrate its performance. In addition, experiments with higher dimensions are conducted to evaluate the performance of CDWOA. The running time of CDWOA for each problem is tested to demonstrate the efficiency of CDWOA. The comparison of experimental results shows that it outperforms its typical peers in solving both low-dimensional and high-dimensional problems of single-objective optimization.","PeriodicalId":129062,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control (ICNSC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132315848","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}
