Scientific simulation and prediction of power consumption help achieve the balance between power generation and power consumption. In this paper, a Multi-strategy Hybrid Coati Optimizer (MCOA) is used to optimize the parameters of the three-parameter combinatorial optimization model TDGM(1,1,<i>r</i>,<i>ξ</i>,<i>Csz</i>) to realize the simulation and prediction of China’s daily electricity consumption. Firstly, a novel MCOA is proposed in this paper, by making the following improvements to the Coati Optimization Algorithm (COA): (i) Introduce improved circle chaotic mapping strategy. (ii) Fusing Aquila Optimizer, to enhance MCOA's exploration capabilities. (iii) Adopt an adaptive optimal neighborhood jitter learning strategy. Effectively improve MCOA escape from local optimal solutions. (iv) Incorporating Differential Evolution to enhance the diversity of the population. Secondly, the superiority of the MCOA algorithm is verified by comparing it with the newly proposed algorithm, the improved optimization algorithm, and the hybrid algorithm on the CEC2019 and CEC2020 test sets. Finally, in this paper, MCOA is used to optimize the parameters of TDGM(1,1,<i>r</i>,<i>ξ</i>,<i>Csz</i>), and this model is applied to forecast the daily electricity consumption in China and compared with the predictions of 14 models, including seven intelligent algorithm-optimized TDGM(1,1,<i>r</i>,<i>ξ</i>,<i>Csz</i>), and seven forecasting models. The experimental results show that the error of the proposed method is minimized, which verifies the validity of the proposed method.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":614,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bionic Engineering","volume":"21 5","pages":"2540 - 2568"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141193078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, we propose an improved solution search equation that utilizes the Gbest-guided strategy with different parameters to achieve a trade-off between exploration and exploitation (EE). Secondly, the Lévy flight is introduced to increase the diversity of population distribution and avoid the algorithm getting stuck in a local optimum. In addition, in order to address the problem of low convergence efficiency of DMO, this study uses the strong nonlinear convergence factor Sigmaid function as the moving step size parameter of the mongoose during collective activities, and combines the strategy of the salp swarm leader with the mongoose for cooperative optimization, which enhances the search efficiency of agents and accelerating the convergence of the algorithm to the global optimal solution (Gbest). Subsequently, the superiority of GLSDMO is verified on CEC2017 and CEC2019, and the optimization effect of GLSDMO is analyzed in detail. The results show that GLSDMO is significantly superior to the compared algorithms in solution quality, robustness and global convergence rate on most test functions. Finally, the optimization performance of GLSDMO is verified on three classic engineering examples and one truss topology optimization example.

Pressing and stretching experiments were conducted using a collaborative robot experimental platform. The experiments encompassed a loading normal force range of 2 N to 18 N and a sliding speed range of 10 mm/s to 20 mm/s. The friction response curve exhibits two different stages: static stick state and dynamic stick-slip stage, both of which have been mathematically modeled. By analyzing the experimental data, we analyzed the effects of elastic modulus, sliding speed and normal loading force on skin tangential friction and tensile deformation. The results indicate that as the normal load increases, both friction and deformation exhibit an increase. Conversely, they decrease with an increase in elastic modulus. Notably, while deformation diminishes with higher sliding speed, friction force remains relatively unaffected by velocity. This observation can be attributed to the strain rate sensitivity resulting from the viscoelastic characteristics of the skin under substantial deformation. This study advances the understanding of friction and deformation behavior during skin friction, offering valuable insights to enhance the operational comfort of massage robots.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":614,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bionic Engineering","volume":"21 4","pages":"1892 - 1904"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141193269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Legged animals usually predict and plan their next locomotion by combining high-dimensional information from proprioception and exteroception, and adjust the stiffness of the body’s skeletal muscle system to adapt to the current environment. Traditional control methods have limitations in handling high-dimensional state information or complex robot motion that are difficult to plan manually, and Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithms provide new solutions to robot motioncontrol problems. Inspired by biomimetics theory, we propose a perception-driven high-dynamic jump adaptive learning algorithm by combining DRL algorithms with Virtual Model Control (VMC) method. The robot will be fully trained in simulation to explore its motion potential by learning the factors related to continuous jumping while knowing its real-time jumping height.

Remarkably, the discs demonstrate an ability to regain their original morphological and biomechanical characteristics after a period of nocturnal rest. The preservation of normal disc function is critically dependent on this recovery phase, which serves to forestall premature disc degeneration. This phenomenon of disc recovery has been extensively documented through numerous in vivo studies employing advanced clinical techniques such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), stadiometry, and intradiscal pressure measurement. However, the findings from in vitro studies present a more complex picture, with reports varying between full recovery and only partial recuperation of the disc properties. Moreover, research focusing on degenerated discs in vitro has shed light on the quantifiable impact of degeneration on the disc ability to recover. Fluid dynamics within the disc are considered a primary factor in recovery, yet the disc intricate multiscale structure and its viscoelastic properties also play key roles. These elements interact in complex ways to influence the recovery mechanism, particularly in relation to the overall health of the disc. The objective of this review is to collate, analyze, and critically evaluate the existing body of in vivo and in vitro research on this topic, providing a comprehensive understanding of disc recovery processes. Such understanding offers a blueprint for future advancements in medical treatments and bionic engineering solutions designed to mimic, support, and enhance the natural recovery processes of intervertebral discs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":614,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bionic Engineering","volume":"21 4","pages":"1919 - 1948"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141165453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that swapping the distance between the first and second wing with the distance between the second wing and the rearmost wing does not affect the overall aerodynamic performance, but significantly changes the distribution of aerodynamic benefits across each wing. During the whole flapping cycle, three effects are at play. The narrow channel effect and the downwash effect can promote and weaken the wing lift, respectively, while the wake capture effect can boost the thrust. It also shows that these effects could be manipulated by changing the spacing between adjacent wings.

Therefore, a good actuator must ensure a uniform and reliable pre-pressure load on an adhesive surface, to increase the effective contact area of the attached surface, thereby maximizing adhesion. This study was inspired by fusion bionics for designing a hierarchical attachment structure with vacuum-adsorption and dry-adhesion mechanisms. The designed structure used the normal force under the negative pressure of a suction cup as a stable source of a pre-pressure load. By optimizing the rigid and flexible structural layers of the attachment structure, a load was applied uniformly to the adhesion area; thus, reliable attachment was achieved by self-preloading. The structure achieved detachment by exploiting the large deformation of a pneumatic structure under a positive pressure. The hierarchical attachment structure achieved up to 85% of the optimal performance of the adhesive surface.
