Supporting Business Privacy Protection in Wireless Sensor Networks
With the pervasive use of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) within commercial environments, business privacy leakage due to the exposure of sensitive information transmitted in a WSN has become a major issue for enterprises. We examine business privacy protection in the application of WSNs. We propose a business privacy-protection system (BPS) that is modeled as a hierarchical profile in order to filter sensitive information with respect to enterprise-specified privacy requirements. The BPS aims at solving a tradeoff between metrics that are defined to estimate the utility of information and the business privacy risk. We design profile, risk assessment, and filtration agents to implement the BPS based on multiagent technology. The effectiveness of our proposed BPS is validated by experiments
Building Ethics into Artificial Intelligence
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become increasingly ubiquitous, the
topic of AI governance for ethical decision-making by AI has captured public
imagination. Within the AI research community, this topic remains less familiar
to many researchers. In this paper, we complement existing surveys, which
largely focused on the psychological, social and legal discussions of the
topic, with an analysis of recent advances in technical solutions for AI
governance. By reviewing publications in leading AI conferences including AAAI,
AAMAS, ECAI and IJCAI, we propose a taxonomy which divides the field into four
areas: 1) exploring ethical dilemmas; 2) individual ethical decision
frameworks; 3) collective ethical decision frameworks; and 4) ethics in
human-AI interactions. We highlight the intuitions and key techniques used in
each approach, and discuss promising future research directions towards
successful integration of ethical AI systems into human societies
Prototype Design and Efficiency Analysis of a Novel Robot Drive Based on 3K-H-V Topology
Robot actuators directly affect the performance of robots, and robot drives
directly affect the performance of robot actuators. With the development of
robotics, robots have put higher requirements on robot drives, such as high
stiffness, high accuracy, high loading, high efficiency, low backlash, compact
size, and hollow structure. In order to meet the demand development of robot
actuators, this research base proposes a new robot drive based on 3K-H-V
topology using involute and cycloidal gear shapes, planetary cycloidal drive,
from the perspective of drive topology and through the design idea of
decoupling. In this study, the reduction ratio and the efficiency model of the
3K-H-V topology were analyzed, and a prototype planetary cycloidal actuator was
designed. The feasibility of the drive is initially verified by experimentally
concluding that the PCA has a hollow structure, compact size, and high torque
density (69 kg/Nm)
