However, motion controllers for multi-joint robotic arms based on broad learning system exhibit insufficient precision and overlook the impact of joint motion commonalities on controller design. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel motion control strategy for a multi-joint robotic arm based on a deep cascade feature-enhancement gated Bayesian broad learning system. Firstly, the motion controller of the deep cascade feature-enhancement Bayesian broad learning system is constructed to enhance the robotic arm motion control precision. Secondly, an incremental node generation module with an attention-gated mechanism is constructed to capture the unique motion characteristics of the target joints, which is further combined with model generalization to simplify the motion control process of the multi-joint robotic arm. Finally, controller convergence is enhanced by combining it with the Lyapunov theory to constrain the learning parameters. Simulations and physical experiments are designed to verify the feasibility and superiority of the proposed motion control strategy. The results demonstrated that the strategy improved the accuracy of robotic arm motion control, with the root mean square error in position tracking reduced to 0.0019 rad. This represents a 93.39% reduction in error compared to existing techniques.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 115792"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate identification of the unbalanced position enables low-speed dynamic balancing to serve as a viable alternative to high-speed methods, ultimately reducing costs and enhancing operational efficiency. Although deep learning techniques utilizing limited labeled data have shown promising results in identifying unbalanced positions, the challenge of gathering a sufficient amount of labeled data for effectively training diagnostic models remains substantial. To address this issue, we propose a Pre-Adaptive Transfer Learning (PATL) approach that employs sample reconstruction through frequency domain correlation analysis. This technique facilitates cross-domain deep transfer recognition of rotor unbalanced positions by transferring insights from simulated dynamic model data to experimental datasets. Compared to existing methodologies, the proposed approach demonstrates significant improvements in both the accuracy and generalization of unbalanced position identification. The novelty of this research lies in the introduction of pre-adaptive transfer learning, which effectively minimizes the disparity between experimental and simulation data, thereby enhancing the model's recognition capabilities.

Existing methods usually use Markovian stochastic processes to describe the degradation process. However, degradation processes of some products are non-Markovian due to the interaction with environments. Misinterpretation of the degradation pattern may lead to biased reliability evaluations. Besides, owing to the differences in materials and manufacturing processes, products from the same population exhibit diverse degradation paths, further increasing the difficulty of accurate reliability estimation. To address the above issues, this paper proposes an accelerated degradation model incorporating memory effects and unit-to-unit variability. The memory effect in the degradation process is captured by the fractional Brownian motion, which reflects the non-Markovian characteristic of degradation. The unit-to-unit variability is considered in the acceleration model to describe diverse degradation paths. Then, lifetime and reliability under normal operating conditions are presented. Furthermore, to give an accurate estimation of the memory effect, a new statistical analysis method based on the expectation maximization algorithm is devised. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a simulation case and a real-world tuner reliability analysis case. The simulation case shows that the estimation of the memory effect obtained by the proposed statistical analysis method is much more accurate than the traditional one. Moreover, ignoring unit-to-unit variability can lead to a highly biased estimation of the memory effect and reliability. From the tuner reliability analysis case, the proposed model is superior in both deterministic degradation trend predictions and degradation boundary quantification compared to existing models, which can provide more credible reliability assessment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50980,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematical Modelling","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 115788"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142656022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
