Considering the low sampling bandwidth of the camera, potentially diminishing the efficiency of the robotic controller in updating low-level servoing control commands, a predictive observer (PO) is initially designed to forecast the system output during the high-level sampling intervals. Moreover, by leveraging a mixture of soft-sensing and real-measured signals, a dual-rate integral-based prescribed performance control (DRIPPC) approach is devised. The benefit lies in that the proposed control method samples the low-frequency state signal while generating a relatively high-frequency control action, ensuring rapid response of the robot manipulator while maintaining strict adherence to field-of-view (FOV) constraints.

Using the estimator IRL algorithm results, a robust algorithm for model-free IRL is presented to reconstruct the learner MAS’s optimal control and reward functions without knowing the learners’ dynamics. Therefore, estimator MAS aims to estimate experts’ desired formation and learner MAS wants to track the estimators’ trajectories optimally. As a final step, data-driven implementations of these proposed IRL algorithms are presented. Consequently, this research contributes to identifying unknown reward functions and optimal controls by conducting demonstrations.

However, existing neighborhood rough set models and their feature selection methods treat each sample equally, whereas different types of samples inherently play different roles in constructing neighborhood granules and evaluating the goodness of features. In this study, the sample weight information is first introduced into neighborhood rough sets, and a novel weighted neighborhood rough set model is consequently constructed. Then, considering the lack of sample weight information in practical data, a margin-based weight optimization function is designed, based on which a gradient descent algorithm is provided to adaptively learn sample weights through maximizing sample margins. Finally, an average granule margin measure is put forward for feature selection, and a forward-adding heuristic algorithm is developed to generate an optimal feature subset. The proposed method constructs the weighted neighborhood rough sets using sample weights for the first time and is able to yield compact feature subsets with a large margin. Extensive experiments and statistical analysis on UCI datasets show that the proposed method achieves highly competitive performance in terms of feature reduction rate and classification accuracy when compared with other state-of-the-art methods.","PeriodicalId":13112,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics","volume":"55 5","pages":"2151-2164"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143608064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article proposes a system architecture of termed IFMsys, including model training, model adaptation, and model application. Specifically, in model training, a base model is constructed by pretraining on multimodal industrial data and fine-tuning with fundamental industrial mechanisms. In model adaptation, the base model is developed into a series of task-oriented and domain-specific IFMs through fine-tuning with representative tasks and domain knowledge. In model application, an industrial agent-centric collaboration system and a comprehensive application framework of IFM are proposed to enhance the industrial product lifecycle applications. In addition, a prototype system of the IFM, namely, MetaIndux, is delivered, with application examples presented in typical industrial tasks. Finally, future research directions and open issues of IFM are prospected.

This challenge becomes more pronounced when considering more general types of event-triggering mechanisms. Compared with existing methods, this article proposes a different idea with three innovative features: 1) the proposed event-triggering mechanism does not require the calculation of virtual control signals at the sensor side before transmitting them to the controller side; 2) the output triggering is considered directly, and there is no need to design separate controllers for the two communication scenarios without and with event-triggering, thereby avoiding the effect of errors caused by processing substitutions; and 3) it necessitates the online update of only one parameter estimator, avoiding the issue of over-parameterization.
