However, previous studies have not fully explored the impact of various internal and external factors on the formation of workers’ SA, making it difficult to understand the potential changes in SA and respond to its error risks in specific scenarios. To address this issue, this paper proposes a proactive analysis approach of worker’s SA and the corresponding error risk based on computational cognitive modeling and simulation. This approach establishes a perception model by quantitatively depicting the mechanism underlying workers’ attention formation. Bayesian network is employed to represent the belief propagation process involved in worker’s comprehension and projection of the situation. The Monte Carlo method is applied to dynamically analyze the uncertainty inherent in the formation of workers’ SA. To demonstrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed approach, a shield tunneling construction project was adopted as an example. The results indicate that crucial factors such as stress, mental fatigue, and risk preference significantly impact shield machine operation workers’ SA, revealing dynamic changes and interactions of cognitive components within the SA formation process. The findings suggest that the proposed approach can serve as a proactive analysis tool to offer new insights for predicting and controlling risks associated with workers’ SA errors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50941,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Engineering Informatics","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 102951"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142744341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, many multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods fail to quantify the risk preference of decision-makers (DMs) when conducting the supplier assessment process. Indeed, a hybrid supplier selection and order allocation model that integrates such requirements is yet to be proposed. Thus, this work develops a comprehensive decision-making model that constructs a deep learning model to forecast the potential demand and addresses the sustainable supplier selection based on cumulative prospect theory (CPT) and multi-material order allocation problem simultaneously. The proposed order allocation model is solved by the second generation of adaptive geometry estimation based many-objective evolutionary algorithm, with the technique of order preference similarity to the ideal solution used to filter out the best Pareto solution for DMs as the reference. Through implementing an illustrative case study of a leading Chinese engineering machinery manufacturer followed by a sensitivity analysis, the relatively strong applicability and scalability of the proposed model and methods are demonstrated. The results show that introducing Weibull distribution to estimate the theoretical obsolescence rate of historically sold accessories can result in higher demand prediction accuracy for consumable mechanical accessories. Integrating CPT into the MCDM framework allows us to evaluate suppliers more comprehensively by capturing the effect of DMs’ risk preferences and gain or loss sensitivity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50941,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Engineering Informatics","volume":"63 ","pages":"Article 102961"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142744343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In evaluation experiments, a robot was placed on flat surfaces and sloped terrain, where it experienced impacts from five angles. To evaluate the robot’s stability, data were collected before, during, and after each impact. The study utilized the artificial rabbits optimization (ARO) algorithm to optimize parameters and trained the robot’s control model by using a five-layer multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network.

The proposed hybrid approach allowed the robot to adapt quickly to external forces and maintain balance effectively. The findings of this research hold considerable promise for enhancing the practical applications of bipedal robots in real-world scenarios, where unpredictable forces or impacts are common. By improving a robot’s ability to react dynamically and maintain balance, the proposed method enables humanoid robots to operate in highly challenging and dynamic environments, such as those associated with disaster response, industrial tasks, or everyday human interaction, without falling because of unexpected disturbances.

In this model, a new ball curve, the ball <em>λ</em>-Bezier curve (B<em>λ</em>B), is used to represent the path of UAVs. In particular, UAV needs to satisfy <em>G</em><sup>0</sup> and <em>G</em><sup>1</sup> continuity at the must-pass points. Using this as a basis, a new model is built to generate a feasible path that is safe, smooth and constrained by the angle of climb and flight altitude. To solve this model efficiently, CMPSO framed by two novel different grouping learning mechanisms is proposed. Two different group learning mechanisms, grouping based on fitness values and activity level, replace the original speed and position update methods in PSO. The grouping mechanism based on the activity level uses the median of the velocity vector modes as a criterion to divide the whole population into two. They effectively facilitate the transfer of information between particles. In addition, a mutation mechanism based on the activity level is introduced to address the defect of PSO’s proneness to converge to local optima. By comparing CMPSO with 15 excellent metaheuristics at CEC 2017, CMPSO is ranked first with an average ranking of 3.72. Also, CMPSO has the best and most stable performance on 18 of the 21 engineering application problems. Finally, CMPSO is applied to three different environments of the path planning model. CMPSO outperforms the other compared algorithms in all three environments with a success rate of 100.

Then, considering the characteristic of mutual influence between assembly events, a Hawkes process is introduced into the stacked GNN architecture to learn the event correlation representation in the temporal hypergraph. This point process models the self-exciting process of assembly events for simultaneously capturing the individual and collective features of events, thereby revealing the triggering mechanisms of the dynamic events.
