Although process design is generally based on the experience of process engineers, mathematical/data-science modeling is a key challenge for future process optimization. Here we create new opportunities for process optimization in YBa2Cu3O7 film fabrication through data/model-driven process design. We show integrated modelling of substrate temperature and critical current density in YBa2Cu3O7 films. Gaussian process regression augmented by transfer learning and physics knowledge was constructed from a small amount of data to show substrate temperature dependence of critical current density. Non-numerical factors such as chamber design and substrate material were included in the transfer learning, and physics-aided techniques extended the model to different magnetic fields. Magnetic field dependence of critical current density was successfully predicted for a given substrate temperature for a five-sample series deposited using different pulsed laser deposition systems. Our integrated process and property modelling strategy enables data/model-driven process design for YBa2Cu3O7 film fabrication for coated conductor applications.","PeriodicalId":72644,"journal":{"name":"Communications engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"114"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12185723/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144478048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Replicating this level of skill acquisition with traditional Reinforcement Learning (RL) methods in musculoskeletal humanoid systems is challenging due to intricate control dynamics and over-actuation. Inspired by human developmental learning, here we address these challenges, with a double curriculum approach: a three-stage task curriculum (balance, walk, run) and an up to three-stage morphology curriculum (4 year-old, 12 year-old, adult), mimicking physical growth. This combined approach enables the agent to efficiently learn robust gaits that are adaptable to varying velocities and perturbations. Extensive analysis and ablation studies demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art exploration techniques for musculoskeletal systems. Our approach is agnostic to the underlying RL algorithm and does not require reward tuning, demonstrations, or specific muscular architecture information, marking a notable advancement in the field.","PeriodicalId":72644,"journal":{"name":"Communications engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12181307/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144337298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here we explore the potential of discovering novel drag-reduction strategies using deep reinforcement learning. We introduce a high-dimensional active flow control setup on a three-dimensional cylinder at Reynolds numbers (ReD) from 100 to 400, spanning the transition to three-dimensional wake instabilities. The setup involves multiple zero-net-mass-flux jets and couples a computational fluid dynamics solver with a numerical multi-agent reinforcement learning framework based on the proximal policy optimization algorithm. Our results demonstrate up to 16% drag reduction at ReD = 400, outperforming classical periodic control strategies. A proper orthogonal decomposition analysis reveals that the control leads to a stabilized wake structure with an elongated recirculation bubble. These findings represent the first demonstration of training on three-dimensional cylinders and pave the way toward active flow control of complex turbulent flows.","PeriodicalId":72644,"journal":{"name":"Communications engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12177081/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144327901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper addresses these challenges from a technological and scientific standpoint. The technological contribution includes the mechanical design of iRonCub-Mk1, a jet-powered humanoid robot, optimized for jet engine integration, and hardware modifications for wind tunnel experiments on humanoid robots for precise aerodynamic forces and surface pressure measurements. The scientific contribution offers a comprehensive approach to model and control aerodynamic forces using classical and learning techniques. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations calculate aerodynamic forces, validated through wind tunnel experiments on iRonCub-Mk1. An automated CFD framework expands the aerodynamic dataset, enabling the training of a Deep Neural Network and a linear regression model.

Spatio-temporal synthesis, in particular, has attracted growing interest in recent years. Several related approaches have been explored, but their huge computational burden confines them to low-dimensional EM field synthesis. The synthesis of four-dimensional (4D) EM fields remains a challenging problem. Here, we develop the projected space-time Fourier transform (PST-FT) method to analytically control the continuous evolution of the high-dimensional EM field with time. Without iterative algorithms or pseudo-inverse matrix, it allows rapid synthesis of continuous 4D EM fields. For verification, three complicated time-varying microwave fields are synthesized, including the 4D electric field radiated by other antennas, the multi-target continuously scanning field, and the time-varying shaped uniform field. Furthermore, several corollaries and fundamental limitations are derived by integrating the developed theory and signal processing theory. Our results demonstrate the proposed theory, with potential application in reproducing EM environments, wireless communication and holographic imaging.","PeriodicalId":72644,"journal":{"name":"Communications engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12174354/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144318862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contrast, artificial intelligence systems based on computers operate in Turing mode and lack the ability to concurrently infer and learn, making them vulnerable to failure under dynamically changing conditions. Here we show a synaptic resistor circuit that operates in Super-Turing mode, enabling concurrent learning and inference. The circuit controls a morphing wing to reduce its drag-to-lift force ratio and recover from stalls in complex aerodynamic environments. The synaptic resistor circuit demonstrates superior performance, faster learning speeds, enhanced adaptability, and reduced power consumption compared to artificial neural networks and human operators on the same task. By overcoming the fundamental limitations of computers, synaptic resistor circuits offer high-speed concurrent learning and inference, ultra-low power consumption, error correction, and agile adaptability for artificial intelligence systems.","PeriodicalId":72644,"journal":{"name":"Communications engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"109"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12170896/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144310833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a competitive levelised cost of electricity for wave energy conversion devices is yet to be proven. Here, we optimise the geometry of a wave energy device to maximise power while also minimising the power take-off reaction moments. Using theory, numerical modelling and optimisation techniques, we show that by including minimisation of reaction moments in the optimisation, instead of only maximisation of power, it is possible to substantially lower the design loads while maintaining high efficiency. Using the underlying physics of how geometry affects the wave-structure interaction, we explain the resulting performance of these new designs for wave energy converters. We examine the resulting geometries for practicality, including performance over a wide range of sea states, motion requirements, and performance in a real sea-state off the coast of Scotland, United Kingdom. Comparing against the single shape which extracts the theoretical maximum power, the optimal shapes found in our study extract almost as much power (12% less) with substantially less moment (reduced by up to 35%), revealing a promising direction for wave energy development.","PeriodicalId":72644,"journal":{"name":"Communications engineering","volume":"4 1","pages":"107"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12159185/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144276919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
