The training method of group-innovation ability for graduate students in China

Graduate education under the background of double first-class is one of the important contents of Chinese higher education research. The cultivation of innovative ability of postgraduates is an important aspect in postgraduate education. Different from the previous methods of cultivating individual innovation ability, a group innovation ability training method based on the Synectics Method was proposed, and a studio for undergraduates, masters and doctorates was established. Through specific case analysis, it was shown that the proposed group innovation training method is feasible and efficient

Information Fusion Based on Complementary Filter for SINS/CNS/GPS Integrated Navigation System of Aerospace Plane

In order to solve the problems of heavy computational load and poor real time of the information fusion method based on the federated Kalman filter (FKF), a novel information fusion method based on the complementary filter is proposed for strapdown inertial navigation (SINS)/celestial navigation system (CNS)/global positioning system (GPS) integrated navigation system of an aerospace plane. The complementary filters are designed to achieve the estimations of attitude, velocity, and position in the SINS/CNS/GPS integrated navigation system, respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed information fusion method can effectively realize SINS/CNS/GPS information fusion. Compared with FKF, the method based on complementary filter (CF) has the advantages of simplicity, small calculation, good real-time performance, good stability, no need for initial alignment, fast convergence, etc. Furthermore, the computational efficiency of CF is increased by 94.81%. Finally, the superiority of the proposed CF-based method is verified by both the semi-physical simulation and real-time system experiment

A LiDAR-Aided Inertial Positioning Approach for a Longwall Shearer in Underground Coal Mining

The absolute three-dimensional position of a longwall shearer is fundamental to longwall mining automation. The positioning of the longwall shearer is usually realized by the inertial navigation system (INS) and odometer (OD). However, the position accuracy of this positioning approach gradually decreases over time due to the gyro drift. To further increase the positioning accuracy of the shearer, this paper proposes a positioning approach based on the INS and light detection and ranging (LiDAR). A Kalman filter (KF) model based on the observation provided by detecting hydraulic supports which are part of the longwall face, using the LiDAR, is established. The selection scheme of the point features is studied through a set of simulations. In addition, compared with that of the approach based on the INS and OD, the shearer positioning accuracy obtained using the proposed approach is higher. When the shearer moves along a 350 m track for 6 cutting cycles and lasts about 7.1 h, both east and north position errors can be maintained within 0.2 m and the height error within 0.1 m
