The method not only ensures the pose tracking of the robot in normal condition but also guarantees the tracking performance while the fault occurs. The proposed method mainly includes: A fractional-order sliding mode surface which improves the transient response is utilized to design the fault-tolerant controller, and the super twisting reaching algorithm is adopted to reduce the chattering; A fault observer is designed to estimate the fault value, ensures system stability and safety through real-time compensation. Finally, the proposed fault-tolerant control method is verified by numerical simulation. The results show that the method proposed in this paper can effectively reduce the impact of actuator fault and ensure trajectory tracking performance. And the advantage of the control strategy over the general sliding mode controller is that compared with the integer-order sliding mode control (IOSMC), the fractional-order sliding mode control (FOSMC) we designed in this paper converges all the error states to zero faster, and the tracking error chattering is smaller.","PeriodicalId":46282,"journal":{"name":"Systems Science & Control Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49207044","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, the bone age assessment is regarded as a fine-grained image classification problem as bone age assessment is usually performed on radiographs of the left hand. An end-to-end bone age assessment model was proposed. This model is composed of four parts: feature extractor, Region of Interest (ROI) selection subnet, guidance subnet, and assessment subnet. Feature extractor is implemented based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), ResNet50 was used to extract image features. ROI selection subnet is used to select multiple informative ROIs that contain representative images features in the radiograph. Guidance subnet can guide the ROI selection subnet to select ROI more appropriately. Assessment subnet is used for bone age assessment by utilizing the extracted image features. The proposed model can extract the most informative ROIs in the radiographs, and use these ROIs to improve the accuracy of bone age assessment. In this paper, the bone age assessment model is tested on a public data set. The experimental results show that the proposed bone age assessment model has the highest accuracy, and the Mean Absolute Error (MAE) reaches 6.65 months.","PeriodicalId":46282,"journal":{"name":"Systems Science & Control Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47407330","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}

Following this ideology, a novel robust fuzzy dynamic surface formation control algorithm is proposed by fusing of the dynamic surface control (DSC), minimal learning parameter (MLP) and low frequency gain-learning (LFG). In the control algorithm, the intermediate virtual control laws do not appear in the finally actual control effort, and only two fuzzy type approximators are introduced to compensate the model uncertainties and the external disturbances, which can effectively overcome the constraints of ‘explosion of complexity’ and ‘curse of dimensionality’ in the traditional approximation-based algorithm. Unlike the current DSC technique, no filter errors are required to be stabilized in the Lyapunov function by virtue of the filter compensation signal, which could optimize the calculation of stabilization analysis. Furthermore, benefiting from the LFG technique, the robustness and applicability of the proposed control algorithm can be improved. Based on the Lyapunov theory analysis, all signals of the closed-loop control system can be guaranteed to be semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Finally, the simulated experiment is provided to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control scheme.","PeriodicalId":46282,"journal":{"name":"Systems Science & Control Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2021-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46237291","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}
