The installation process of these sensors contains assembly error and sensor measurement error, so it is necessary to calibrate each sensor to align the point cloud. In order to obtain the sensor calibration results of commercial robots under normal working conditions, this study proposes a fixture free multi depth sensor joint calibration method that can be deployed on low‐cost embedded computing units, which efficiently aligns the point clouds of each sensor. During the calibration process, the robot is placed in the center of three upright thin plates perpendicular to the ground. 2D LIDAR depicts high‐precision contours of the upright thin plates. In the calibration process of each depth sensor, the roll angle and pitch angle of the sensor point cloud are first calibrated to make it perpendicular to the ground, and then the yaw angle and position of the point cloud are calibrated to fit the high‐precision contour of the upright thin plate. The results show that this method can be deployed on low‐cost embedded computing units, with real‐time and accurate calibration results. The convergence of calibration results can be achieved through up to 5 iterations, and the average running time is less than 120 ms. This research achievement provides a reference for multi‐sensor calibration of commercial robots.","PeriodicalId":510109,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Engineering","volume":"87 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141034933","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 required additional phase information is acquired from additional magnitude‐only data sets of the AUT in different orientations. These orientations are defined by rotations of the AUT along the Eulerian angles. The performance of the method is evaluated for a realistic configuration, which consists of an inverted‐A antenna in the vicinity of an ear.

The second stage's optimisation problem is solved in a rolling time window, facilitating real‐time operation of flexible energy sources in the building. This includes optimal charging and discharging of the battery energy system, electric vehicle battery charging, heating system operation, and determining the optimal start times for washing machines and dishwashers, all close to real‐time. The proposed approach enables users to predict and manage peak demand in daily operation, staying below the predetermined value through a close to real‐time energy management system.

Short‐term forecasting to hourly predict the required load and spinning reserve is of great importance. All of the power system studies in planning and operation fields are depend on short‐term hourly load forecasting. In this work, the problem of load forecasting and spinning reserve based on deep learning (DL) algorithms and traditional methods is investigated with the help of the proposed information combination system. The proposed method tries to reduce the weaknesses of the stated methods and increase the accuracy of the predicted signal. First, short‐term predicting of load and spinning reserve is performed using a combination of adaptive network‐based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and meta‐heuristic algorithms including differential evolution (DE), genetic algorithm (GA), and particle swarm optimization (PSO). The ANFIS‐PSO is selected as the best ANFIS combination in load and spinning reserve prediction with a lower error criterion than other methods. Also, the long short‐term memory (LSTM) network can provide good accuracy for load and spinning reserve forecasting. Therefore, the combination of ANFIS‐PSO and LSTM is used to reduce the average error and error variance.","PeriodicalId":510109,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Engineering","volume":"28 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140427312","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}

Therefore, the study of the rheological properties of the grease has become the focus of the study of RV reducer performance. Here, SK‐1A grease is taken as the research object, and its rheological characteristics under wide temperature range working conditions (−20–40°C) are investigated through rheological experiments to analyze the potential influence of the performance of RV reducer. However, the ordinary way of research is too complicated to better research the rheological properties of grease for a variety of working conditions. The Elman neural network (ENN) model was used to predict the rheological properties, and the results were compared with those of back propagation (BP) and radial basis function (RBF) neural networks. The results demonstrate that the ENN model demonstrates high prediction accuracy for grease rheological property prediction by comparing three types of predictions. This method can provide a theoretical reference for the accurate prediction of the rheological properties of lubricating grease affected by complex multifactors.","PeriodicalId":510109,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Engineering","volume":"292 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140469091","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}

Allocating resources efficiently in a 5G communication system with a huge number of machine type communication (MTC) devices is essential to ensure optimal performance and meet the diverse requirements of different applications. The LTE‐A network offers high‐speed mobile data services and caters to MTC devices and has relatively low data service requirements compared to human‐to‐human (H2H) communications. LTE‐A networks require advanced scheduling schemes to manage the limited spectrum and ensure efficient transmissions. This necessitates effective resource allocation schemes to minimize interference between cells in future networks. To address this issue, a joint delay and energy aware Levy flight Brownian movement‐based dragonfly optimization (DELFBDO)‐based uplink resource allocation scheme for LTE‐A Networks is proposed in this work to optimize energy efficiency, maximize the throughput and reduce the latency. The DELFDO algorithm efficiently organizes packets in both time and frequency domains for H2H and MTC devices, resulting in improved quality of service while minimizing energy consumption. The Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method increases the energy efficiency by producing the appropriate channel and power assignment for UEs and MTC devices.","PeriodicalId":510109,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Engineering","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140478104","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 addition, recursive least squares method was used to identify the key parameters of the model. Secondly, based on obtaining the SOC of each battery cell in series with the energy storage PACK, the specificity of the faulty battery cell in SOC change trend is utilized to identify and locate the short‐circuit fault of the energy storage PACK. The simulation and test results show that the designed adaptive sliding mode observer can significantly improve the estimation accuracy of SOC and has better stability. Compared to the commonly used Kalman estimation and BP neural network estimation methods, the designed method has improved accuracy by 5.53% and 3.42%, respectively.

To this end, a multi‐stage predictive model method based on the spherical algorithm is presented. By predicting the grid‐side capacitor voltage and the input current state of the rectifier, the harmonic injection network switching tube is controlled in advance to supplement the grid‐side capacitor voltage, so that the grid‐side capacitor voltage approximately tracks the input voltage.
