Adaptive Control of Space Robot Manipulators with Task Space Base on Neural Network
As are considered, the body posture is controlled and position cannot control, space manipulator system model is difficult to be set up because of disturbance and model uncertainty. An adaptive control strategy based on neural network is put forward. Neural network on-line modeling technology is used to approximate the system uncertain model, and the strategy avoids solving the inverse Jacobi matrix, neural network approximation error and external bounded disturbance are eliminated by variable structure control controller. Inverse dynamic model of the control strategy does not need to be estimated, also do not need to take the training process, globally asymptotically stable of the closed-loop system is proved based on the lyapunov theory. The simulation results show that the designed controller can achieve high control precision has the important value of engineering application
PCR-CG: Point Cloud Registration via Deep Explicit Color and Geometry
In this paper, we introduce PCR-CG: a novel 3D point cloud registration
module explicitly embedding the color signals into the geometry representation.
Different from previous methods that only use geometry representation, our
module is specifically designed to effectively correlate color into geometry
for the point cloud registration task. Our key contribution is a 2D-3D
cross-modality learning algorithm that embeds the deep features learned from
color signals to the geometry representation. With our designed 2D-3D
projection module, the pixel features in a square region centered at
correspondences perceived from images are effectively correlated with point
clouds. In this way, the overlapped regions can be inferred not only from point
cloud but also from the texture appearances. Adding color is non-trivial. We
compare against a variety of baselines designed for adding color to 3D, such as
exhaustively adding per-pixel features or RGB values in an implicit manner. We
leverage Predator [25] as the baseline method and incorporate our proposed
module onto it. To validate the effectiveness of 2D features, we ablate
different 2D pre-trained networks and show a positive correlation between the
pre-trained weights and the task performance. Our experimental results indicate
a significant improvement of 6.5% registration recall over the baseline method
on the 3DLoMatch benchmark. We additionally evaluate our approach on SOTA
methods and observe consistent improvements, such as an improvement of 2.4%
registration recall over GeoTransformer as well as 3.5% over CoFiNet. Our study
reveals a significant advantages of correlating explicit deep color features to
the point cloud in the registration task.Comment: accepted to ECCV2022; code at https://github.com/Gardlin/PCR-C
Automatically learning topics and difficulty levels of problems in online judge systems
Online Judge (OJ) systems have been widely used in many areas, including programming, mathematical problems solving, and job interviews. Unlike other online learning systems, such as Massive Open Online Course, most OJ systems are designed for self-directed learning without the intervention of teachers. Also, in most OJ systems, problems are simply listed in volumes and there is no clear organization of them by topics or difficulty levels. As such, problems in the same volume are mixed in terms of topics or difficulty levels. By analyzing large-scale usersâ learning traces, we observe that there are two major learning modes (or patterns). Users either practice problems in a sequential manner from the same volume regardless of their topics or they attempt problems about the same topic, which may spread across multiple volumes. Our observation is consistent with the findings in classic educational psychology. Based on our observation, we propose a novel two-mode Markov topic model to automatically detect the topics of online problems by jointly characterizing the two learning modes. For further predicting the difficulty level of online problems, we propose a competition-based expertise model using the learned topic information. Extensive experiments on three large OJ datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach in three different tasks, including skill topic extraction, expertise competition prediction and problem recommendation
Sulfur-doped Nanographenes Containing Multiple Subhelicenes
In this work, we describe the synthesis and characterization of three novel sulfur-doped nanographenes (NGs) (1â3) containing multiple subhelicenes, including carbo[4]helicenes, thieno[4]helicenes, carbo[5]helicenes, and thieno[5]helicenes. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the helicene substructures in 1â3 possess dihedral angles from 15° to 34°. The optical energy gaps of 1â3 are estimated to be 2.67, 2.45, and 2.30 eV, respectively. These three sulfur-doped NGs show enlarged energy gaps compared to those of their pristine carbon analogues
Novel Implications of Exosomes and lncRNAs in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Most patients are present with advanced stages of the disease at the time of diagnosis; thus, surgery, which is the best curative option for this malignancy, is no longer an effective treatment modality for affected individuals. As a likely source of âliquid biopsies,â exosomes, which are secreted by fusing intracellular multivesicular bodies with cell membranes, have relative stability and composition, allowing them to cover the entire range of cancer-related biomarkers, including cellular proteins, lipids, DNA, RNA, miRNA, and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs). To explore the early detection biomarkers of pancreatic cancer and to develop successful therapeutic intervention for this disease, assessing the implications of exosomes in pancreatic cancer patients is essential. In this chapter, we wish to focus on the possibility of using exosomes and lncRNAs in the clinical management of patients with pancreatic cancer. We will discuss the mechanisms of tumor formation under the exosomal action, demonstrate how circulating exosomes and lncRNAs have come into the research spotlight as likely biomarkers of pancreatic cancer, and discuss the applications of exosomes as transfer vectors in tumor therapeutics
