To realize the vision of human-machine integration, it is necessary to construct a collaborative architecture that supports deep integration of multiple entities, which can not only fully leverage the unique advantages of different entities, but also realize mutual understanding and dynamic collaboration among them. Digital twin (DT), as an enabling technology for cyber-physical fusion, provides a feasible path towards this goal. Although current research has made progress in the digital modeling and behavior characterization of entities, there remains a deficiency in dynamic interaction and collaborative decision mechanisms among multi-twin models, which is difficult to support for system-level human-machine integration. To address this issue, a multi-twin collaborative system architecture for HMCM is proposed. Firstly, the architecture for HMCM is designed, which includes the human digital twin (HDT), robot digital twin (RDT), equipment digital twin (EDT), product digital twin (PDT), and collaborative application interaction center (CAIC). Correspondingly, an experimental platform for rotary vector (RV) reducer assembly is designed to provide empirical support. Secondly, a multi-twin collaborative system for human-machine collaborative assembly is implemented. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed architecture are verified by this assembly experiment. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed architecture facilitates the fundamental transformation of the collaborative robot from a \"mechanical executor\" to an \"intuitive collaborator\", providing a reusable technical pathway and system architecture for realizing deep human-machine integration in intelligent manufacturing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 101092"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146134524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method addresses challenges associated with propulsion system reliability in the aerospace industry. Hall thrusters, commonly used in commercial satellites and deep space exploration, require reliable operation. The sparking phenomenon, one of the key faults of Hall thrusters, disrupts the normal behavior of the plume and poses multiple risks to thruster operation and mission success. Therefore, detecting sparking is essential. Compared with traditional diagnostic methods, visual sensing achieves finer spatial characterization but frame-based cameras remain limited in dynamic perception and on-orbit practicality. Event cameras, with microsecond-level time resolution, low power consumption, and a wide dynamic range, offer great potential for transient sparking detection. This paper is the first to utilize event cameras for detecting transient sparking in Hall thrusters. A novel detection method based on event rate bursts and ambient diffusion optical flow estimation is proposed. When plume fluctuations cause the event rate to exceed a defined threshold, optical flow computation is triggered for spark verification. Ground experiments show that the method can efficiently detect sparks with an average throughput of 334.77 kHz, achieve 95.7% detection accuracy, and continuously record the spark process. Comparative results with high-speed cameras confirm the superior performance of the event camera. The reliability and scalability of the method are also examined. These advances lay a significant foundation for future on-orbit fault detection and monitoring of Hall thrusters.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"51 ","pages":"Article 101085"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146110397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is particularly the case in real-world scenarios where there could be several targets in varied lighting and several very mobile objects. Even with the best possible models, object detection models collapse when presented with the randomness of real-world environments, including clutter and the detection of multiple objects within a scene. A new innovation, the Enhanced Hyper-node Faster Relational YOLO Dwarf Mongoose (IHnode-FRYDM) Graph Attention Network (GAN) for multi-target detection in IoT-based innovative edge-cloud surveillance systems is presented herein. The new method uses the PASCAL VOC dataset to create a more efficient detection framework. It starts with the Iterative Dependable Peak-Aware Directed Filtering (IDPADF), a newer technique for pre-processing images, that considerably improves both the input image and feature representation quality. The real detection then executes the Faster-YOLO architecture, which is essential since it strives to balance speed and accuracy for real-time IoT operations. Moreover, it uses a Hyper-node Relational Graph Attention Network (HRGAT) to perform effective relational feature learning and correct identification of multiple targets in intricate and dynamic environments. IDMO's performance maximizes the rate of convergence and stability of the model to meet the computational loads of IoT edge devices. The resultant evaluation provides a mAP of 99.6% and an F1-score of 99.5%, while offering a processing time reduction of 32% in comparison to other traditional approaches.

However, the distributed nature of industrial data, the spatiotemporal discontinuity of physical sensing, and the heterogeneity of multimodal physical–virtual data hinder effective integration of distributed sources and precise reconstruction of the transient deformation of tube surfaces. To address these challenges, we propose a Federated Split-Learning–Driven Multimodal Physical–Virtual Integration (FSLD-MPVI) framework. Leveraging a hybrid distributed–centralized architecture with cross-level collaborative fusion, FSLD-MPVI enables efficient integration and knowledge sharing of local high-fidelity visual data, global low-fidelity finite-element (FE) simulation data, and static process parameters that are dispersed across manufacturing nodes. Within the split learning (SL) distributed architecture, three cascaded, heterogeneous subnetworks are deployed, each dedicated to fusing a specific class of hybrid modality inputs, thereby providing the infrastructure needed to integrate modalities originating from different workshops. In the federated learning (FL) layer, a centralized server aggregates the parameters of each subnetwork respectively, mitigating cross-node data isolation while preserving data locality. Experiments demonstrate that FSLD-MPVI achieves high-accuracy global reconstruction (R² = 0.9973); in the 90° bending case, the shape deviation remains within 0.2 mm.
