By combining the gravitational forces of the droplet and the deformation of the magnetic membranes, the motion of the droplet can be controlled. Furthermore, the surface of membranes was ablated with a laser machine to impart superhydrophobic properties. The simulation results show that with the different magnetic fields, the droplet can move lengthwise, widthwise, and diagonally in the horizontal plane, and multiple droplets can be merged and mixed.

Therefore, there is a special process to determine the capacity of lithium batteries in their production process (aka grading). However, this process takes a very long time. We propose a new method based on deep learning, which uses data collected by sensors before the grading process to predict the battery capacity, hoping to reduce the time consumed in the whole process. We propose an end-to-end battery capacity prediction model. In our processing steps, complex feature extraction steps are not needed. On the contrary, we use a residual network to complete it automatically. We modified the original ResNet to suit our task. Convolution1D and global pooling layers are used to extract the time series feature. To improve the model's accuracy, we design a fusion model to deal with the time series of multi-step processes. Transfer learning is applied to help us train the model faster. The results on the test set show that the root mean square error of the predicted capacity of our fusion model is 4mAh, which is a 45% decline compared with the benchmark model.

RGB-D-based methods have recently attained brilliant success, but they are still susceptible to heavy occlusion. Our critical insight is that color and geometry information in RGBD images are two complementary data, and the crux of the pose estimation problem under occlusion is fully leveraging them. Towards this end, we propose a new color and geometry feature fusion module that can efficiently leverage two complementary data sources from RGB-D images. Unlike prior fusion methods, we conduct a two-stage fusion strategy to do color-depth fusion and local-global fusion successively. Specifically, we fuse the color features extracted from RGB images into the point cloud in the first stage. In the second stage, we extract local and global features from the fused point cloud using an ASSANet-like network and splice them together to obtain the final fusion features. We conducted experiments on the widely used LineMod and YCB-Video datasets, which shows that our method improves the prediction accuracy while reducing the training time.","PeriodicalId":34110,"journal":{"name":"IET Cybersystems and Robotics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74599402","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 system controls the motion of the virtual object pulled by the cable by sampling the astronauts' operating force on the working object; so that the virtual object conforms to the motion law in the microgravity environment.
