The study aim was to develop an approach to the creation of synthetic data describing underwater objects for as the samples for training and validation in machine learning of control systems for auton-omous unmanned underwater vehicles. The subject of the study was a variety of underwater objects because real information about the shape, size and their external images is very limited. The data augmentation method was used, which makes it possible to obtain additional data on underdetermined objects of observation from the initial data while maintaining the classification features. Eight models have been developed that imitate the influence of various factors of the aquatic environment and allow using various augmentation methods (changing the position, adding noise, glare to the image, defocusing to create fuzziness; fragmentation, etc.) to obtain an almost unlimited number of images of any objects of man-made activity immersed in underwater environment, to varying degrees similar to the reference. Examples of the use of augmentation models that take into account changes in illumina-tion, transparency and the presence of an underwater landscape are given. Such synthetic (model) images may be the basis of a training set for machine learning to recognize and identify underwater objects. The trained model can be used as the basis of a decision support system for operators of remote-controlled unmanned underwater vehicles and as the basis for building control systems for autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles for moni-toring underwater spaces.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139190076","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 use of neuromorphic approach allows to overcome the limitations associated with the formalizing complexity of the systems being diagnosed and the low availability of data for modeling the processes occurring in them. The overcoming these limitations is possible due to the possibility of learning from a small number of examples and the absence of the need to model the system being diagnosed itself. The paper also presents the results of testing of the proposed scheme, which was carried out on a computer model using synthetic data. The results of the testing showed the fundamental applicability of the proposed scheme in neuromorphic control systems.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"4 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139190955","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}

Robotic complexes and their implementation are widely applicable in civil and military areas. The de-velopment of the industry today is associated with trends in the introduction of intelligent systems and components based on integrated solutions for training or self-development. Within the framework of this work, only the aspect of identifying intergamonics based on complex intelligent technologies will be solved to ensure the stability of the elements of robotic systems as a single robotic complex (production line) in the future. The article presents a method for determining and eliminating current and voltage interharmonics in smart power supply networks. A step-by-step algorithm for extracting and determining the frequencies of interharmonics, their amplitude and phase angle, as well as a method for eliminating them using an active harmonic filter, is presented. An asynchro-nous motor with a squirrel-cage rotor operating with a variable periodic load on the shaft was used as a source of interharmonics. The article uses simulation modeling in the Matlab/Simulink mathematical package. As a result of the simulation, the main harmonic of the current was identified and the difference between the current of the stator phase of the induction motor and its main harmonic was found. The resulting difference is presented as a harmon-ic Fourier series with subsequent determination of the frequency, amplitude and phase of the interharmonics. To confirm the theoretical calculations, an experiment was carried out on the basis of which interharmonic distortions were eliminated by using an active harmonic filter.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139193291","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 main tasks solved by UAVs: survey and reconnaissance of territories, detection of dangerous objects or places of emergencies, search for victims, etc. The efficiency of solving the problems listed above achieved by the simultaneous use of a group of UAVs, the ele-ments (agents) of which can carry out the tasks of inspecting and scanning various areas of space in parallel. The article proposes an iterative method for distributing tasks in a group of UAVs with a significant excess of the num-ber of tasks over the number of agents (5-20 times). The proposed method for heterogeneous groups of UAVs based on a two-stage procedure for distributing agents of different specializations among task clusters, taking into account the agent's value function. At the first stage, the base part of the agents is distributed, the remaining agents at the second stage distributed in order to average the distance traveled by each agent. Execution of tasks within a cluster implemented by simulating annealing. To evaluate the effectiveness of the method variants, a comparison made with the greedy task distribution algorithm and the collective goal distribution algorithm. The analogs under consideration are widespread, universal and have a high convergence of the solution. Experimental studies car-ried out by computer simulation, where 2000 experiments carried out with various changes in the number of group agents and generation of a task map. The results showed the high efficiency of the task distribution method in terms of reducing the distance traveled by the agents of the UAV group when performing tasks in comparison with analogues. The efficiency of the path traveled by agents is up to 28% depending on the number of agents and tasks in the cluster, which is a scientific increment of the result of the study.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132367774","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 author attributes this to the danger or impossibility of direct participation of a person in some operations associated with adverse effects of high radiation burden and toxicity on the human body. Therefore, the author emphasizes the need to use technologies for indirect control of a number of processes or their automation, partial or complete. Particular attention is paid to the fact that robots are not introduced into existing production lines, but the robotic fabrication of fuel is implemented from the very outset, i.e. at the design stage. The author predicts that one of the benefits gained from the employment of robots will be the ability to ensure product quality at a more stable level. The article clarifies that, at the MFR, robotic manipula-tors, automated guided carts (AGC), and transfer carts will be used in the principal process in operations con-cerned with the fabrication of fuel assemblies, when handling radioactive waste, and in automated transport sys-tem lines. The growing need to solve the problems of decommissioning of nuclear energy facilities (NEF) requires new approaches to their implementation, including the minimization of human work directly in conditions of in-creased radiation background. As such an approach, it is suggested to use modern robotic technologies that make it possible to efficiently resolve problems at all stages of decommissioning of nuclear energy facilities, thereby adopting a comprehensive problem-solving approach and laying the groundwork for the future. The introduction of robotic complexes within the framework of the federal project not only has practical value for the NEF decommis-sioning in terms of resource efficiency, cost optimization and speed of project work, but also enables the imple-mentation of Russia’s strategic tasks in the social and economic spheres.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131103122","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}
