In this study, we designed a Biomimetic Ultrasonic Exciter (BUE) that imitates leaf-cutting ants. The operating characteristics of the BUE were studied through experimental testing and finite element simulations. The results showed that the BUE could generate stable ultrasonic vibrations, and that the excitation frequency only needed to be half the Output Frequency (OF). This frequency-doubling phenomenon was conducive to achieving BUE miniaturization. To further explore the phenomenon of frequency-doubling vibration output, this study designed scrapers of five different sizes, conducted excitation and first-order natural frequency measurement tests, and the corresponding finite element simulations. It was found that each scraper could operate in frequency-doubling mode, but the operating frequency and natural mode frequencies did not correspond with one another. To further explicate experimental and simulation results, a two-degrees-of-freedom vibration model was developed. It was evident that the contact relationship between the dentate disc and scraper introduced strong nonlinear factors into the system, accounting for the frequency-doubling phenomenon and the difference between the BUE’s operating and mode frequencies. The BUE could be expected to facilitate the production of high-power micro-ultrasonic generators and has potential application value in the fields of mechanical processing, industrial production, and medical health.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":614,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bionic Engineering","volume":"21 4","pages":"1801 - 1816"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140932235","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}

However, these aircraft have certain limitations, such as poor accuracy in attitude control and inadequate roll control capabilities. This paper presents a design for an active torsional mechanism at the wing's trailing edge, which enables differential variations in the pitch angle of the left and right wings during flapping. This simple mechanical form significantly enhances the aircraft's roll control capacity. The experimental verification of this mechanism was conducted in a wind tunnel using the RoboEagle flapping-wing aerial vehicle that we developed. The study investigated the effects of the control strategy on lift, thrust, and roll moment during flapping flight. Additionally, the impact of roll control on roll moment was examined under various wind speeds, flapping frequencies, angles of attack, and wing flexibility. Furthermore, several rolling maneuver flight tests were performed to evaluate the agility of RoboEagle, utilizing both the elevon control strategy and the new roll control strategy. The results demonstrated that the new roll control strategy effectively enhances the roll control capability, thereby improving the attitude control capabilities of the flapping-wing aircraft in complex wind field environments. This conclusion is supported by a comparison of the control time, maximum roll angle, average roll angular velocity, and other relevant parameters between the two control strategies under identical roll control input.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":614,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bionic Engineering","volume":"21 4","pages":"1644 - 1661"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140932239","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}

Secondly, the task region is decomposed into several high-value sub-regions by using data clustering method. Based on this, a hierarchical search strategy is proposed, which allows precise or rough search in different probability areas by adjusting the altitude of the aircraft, thereby improving the search efficiency.

To assist such patients to walk normally and naturally, an adaptive control algorithm based on inter-joint coordination was proposed in this work for lower-limb exoskeletons. The control strategy can generate the reference trajectory of the affected leg in real time based on a motion coordination model between the joints, and adopt an adaptive controller with virtual windows to track the reference trajectory. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network was also adopted to establish the coordination model between the joints of both lower limbs, which was optimized by preprocessing angle information and adding gait phase information. In the adaptive controller, the virtual windows were symmetrically distributed around the reference trajectory, and its width was adjusted according to the gait phase of the auxiliary leg. In addition, the impedance parameters of the controller were updated online to match the motion capacity of the affected leg based on the spatiotemporal symmetry factors between the bilateral gaits. The LSTM coordination model demonstrated good accuracy and generality in the gait database of seven individuals, with an average root mean square error of 3.5<span>(^circ)</span> and 4.1<span>(^circ)</span> for the hip and knee joint angle estimation, respectively. To further evaluate the control algorithm, four healthy subjects walked wearing the exoskeleton while additional weights were added around the ankle joint to simulate an asymmetric gait.

Finite element modeling demands considerable expertise and can be computationally expensive when complex geometry and material nonlinearity are introduced. Validated analogue spine models could complement these traditional methods as a low-cost and high-fidelity alternative. A fully 3D printable L-S1 analogue spine model with ligaments is developed and validated in this research. Rotational stiffness of the model under pure bending loading in flexion-extension, Lateral Bending (LB) and Axial Rotation (AR) is evaluated and compared against historical ex vivo and in silico models.

To address this limitation, we propose a new algorithm called Multi-trial Vector-based Whale Optimization Algorithm (MTV-WOA) that incorporates a Balancing Strategy-based Trial-vector Producer (BS_TVP), a Local Strategy-based Trial-vector Producer (LS_TVP), and a Global Strategy-based Trial-vector Producer (GS_TVP) to address real-world optimization problems of varied degrees of difficulty. MTV-WOA has the potential to enhance exploitation and exploration, reduce the probability of being stranded in local optima, and preserve the equilibrium between exploration and exploitation. For the purpose of evaluating the proposed algorithm's performance, it is compared to eight metaheuristic algorithms utilizing CEC 2018 test functions. Moreover, MTV-WOA is compared with well-stablished, recent, and WOA variant algorithms. The experimental results demonstrate that MTV-WOA surpasses comparative algorithms in terms of the accuracy of the solutions and convergence rate. Additionally, we conducted the Friedman test to assess the gained results statistically and observed that MTV-WOA significantly outperforms comparative algorithms.
