Firstly, the proposed guidance law is designed based on a nonlinear LOS guidance framework, eliminating the assumption of small flight-path angles. Then, robust PT control theory is employed to achieve PT convergence of the SM surface. Moreover, two levels of cooperation between the target and the defender are introduced to enhance guidance performance. To minimize maximum overload, static optimization is incorporated in two-way cooperation by a performance index. The obtained guidance law does not require an observer or time-to-go estimation as compared to previous work.

However, they often encounter several disadvantages, such as poor correlations between the extracted hidden features and the quality variable, inevitable information loss resulting from the layer-wise feature extraction, and information redundancy between the hidden features. Thus, a maximal relevance and minimal redundancy-based representation learning (MRMRRL) is proposed for quality prediction of industrial processes. MRMRRL obtains significant performance enhancement by combining the merits from three channels. First, the relevance between the input and output variable is taken into account for enabling quality-relevant feature extraction. Second, kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) is performed on the feature space of AE hidden layer for achieving redundancy reduction of hidden features. Third, inputs with high quality relevance are fed to the extension layer nodes for enabling information compensation. The experimental results show that, compared with the baseline SAE, the performance of MRMRRL is improved by about 37 % and 38 % for two application examples, respectively. Significant performance enhancement of MRMRRL can be also obtained compared to several state-of-the-art deep learning soft sensors. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed MRMRRL approach in extracting quality-related hidden features while ensuring automatic elimination of hidden feature redundancy and maintaining structure simplicity.</p>","PeriodicalId":94059,"journal":{"name":"ISA transactions","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143442671","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}

Both the inverted pendulum on cart system and the four-bar mechanism are commonly used systems that have been the subject of many control theory problems. Therefore, the combination of these two widely studied systems, which is the focus of this research paper, could very well be integrated for various practical problems such as Segway transportation systems, robotic applications, and rocket guidance systems. With this motivation the modified system has been designated as the \"four-bar on a cart system\", and dynamic equations of motion have been obtained using the Lagrange method. Furthermore, the performance of the system has been validated through an established experimental setup, and the experimental results for a Lyapunov type backstepping controller are presented. The utilization of a four-bar mechanism instead of a pendulum rod has led to greater challenges in the derivation of the motion of equation due to the additional link position variables in the system. However, despite the modifications on the system, the total degrees of freedom remain unchanged, and the system continues to exhibit dynamic behavior similar to inverted pendulum on cart system. For the completeness of the proposed topic, the inverted pendulum on cart system was initially investigated in this study, and its experimental results were presented.

However, the limitations of using a single scale convolution kernel in convolutional layer and the exclusive focus on classification accuracy by the cross-entropy loss function during model training result in suboptimal diagnostic performance and generalization ability of CNNs in environments with strong background noise and imbalanced data. To address these challenges, a fault recognition method for rotary machines utilizing a minimum maximum regularized multiscale CNN (MMRMCNN) is proposed. A multiscale feature extraction module is devised, which uses convolutional layers with diverse scale kernels to capture multiscale features form input data. Additionally, a minimum maximum regularized objective function is introduced to augment the original cross-entropy loss function. This modification enables the model to consider not only recognition accuracy but also the compactness within classes and separation between classes of learning features during network training. The proposed approach effectively narrows the intra class margin of device health status features while widening the inter class margin, thereby mitigating the impact of noise and data imbalance on the mapping of health status relationship. Performance evaluation of the MMRMCNN is conducted using a measured dataset, the PU bearing dataset, and a rotor dataset. We found that the fault recognition accuracy of the proposed method exceeds 97.79 %, and the accuracy of fault recognition under noisy background and unbalanced data conditions is also above 94.81 % and 94.72 %, respectively. This demonstrate the superior fault recognition capabilities of the proposed method in scenarios characterized by strong background noise and data imbalance.

Specifically, a human-robot coupled dynamic model of the HDLLER considering human motion disturbances is first established. Then, based on vibration theory, a modal space decoupling approach is proposed to transform the system's mass and stiffness matrices into diagonal matrices, creating two independent control channels. Furthermore, a VTC strategy is introduced to compensate for disturbances caused by human motion and the residual terms after modal decoupling, thereby enhancing the HDLLER's performance. Finally, to handle parameter variations during modal decoupling and inaccuracies in model identification, the H<sub>∞</sub> theory is introduced to optimize the proposed VTC, effectively reducing the control strategy's dependence on model accuracy and improving system robustness.
