Neural control for constrained human-robot interaction with human motion intention estimation and impedance learning
In this paper, an impedance control strategy is proposed for a rigid robot collaborating with human by considering impedance learning and human motion intention estimation. The least square method is used in human impedance identification, and the robot can adjust its impedance parameters according to human impedance model for guaranteeing compliant collaboration. Neural networks (NNs) are employed in human motion intention estimation, so that the robot follows the human actively and human partner costs less control effort. On the other hand, the full-state constraints are considered for operational safety in human-robot interactive processes. Neural control is presented in the control strategy to deal with the dynamic uncertainties and improve the system robustness. Simulation results are carried out to show the effectiveness of the proposed control design
Human-robot co-carrying using visual and force sensing
In this paper, we propose a hybrid framework using visual and force sensing for human-robot co-carrying tasks. Visual sensing is utilized to obtain human motion and an observer is designed for estimating control input of human, which generates robot's desired motion towards human's intended motion. An adaptive impedance-based control strategy is proposed for trajectory tracking with neural networks (NNs) used to compensate for uncertainties in robot's dynamics. Motion synchronization is achieved and this approach yields a stable and efficient interaction behavior between human and robot, decreases human control effort and avoids interference to human during the interaction. The proposed framework is validated by a co-carrying task in simulations and experiments
Admittance-based controller design for physical human-robot interaction in the constrained task space
In this article, an admittance-based controller for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is presented to perform the coordinated operation in the constrained task space. An admittance model and a soft saturation function are employed to generate a differentiable reference trajectory to ensure that the end-effector motion of the manipulator complies with the human operation and avoids collision with surroundings. Then, an adaptive neural network (NN) controller involving integral barrier Lyapunov function (IBLF) is designed to deal with tracking issues. Meanwhile, the controller can guarantee the end-effector of the manipulator limited in the constrained task space. A learning method based on the radial basis function NN (RBFNN) is involved in controller design to compensate for the dynamic uncertainties and improve tracking performance. The IBLF method is provided to prevent violations of the constrained task space. We prove that all states of the closed-loop system are semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB) by utilizing the Lyapunov stability principles. At last, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified on a Baxter robot experiment platform. Note to Practitioners-This work is motivated by the neglect of safety in existing controller design in physical human-robot interaction (pHRI), which exists in industry and services, such as assembly and medical care. It is considerably required in the controller design for rigorously handling constraints. Therefore, in this article, we propose a novel admittance-based human-robot interaction controller. The developed controller has the following functionalities: 1) ensuring reference trajectory remaining in the constrained task space: A differentiable reference trajectory is shaped by the desired admittance model and a soft saturation function; 2) solving uncertainties of robotic dynamics: A learning approach based on radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is involved in controller design; and 3) ensuring the end-effector of the manipulator remaining in the constrained task space: different from other barrier Lyapunov function (BLF), integral BLF (IBLF) is proposed to constrain system output directly rather than tracking error, which may be more convenient for controller designers. The controller can be potentially applied in many areas. First, it can be used in the rehabilitation robot to avoid injuring the patient by limiting the motion. Second, it can ensure the end-effector of the industrial manipulator in a prescribed task region. In some industrial tasks, dangerous or damageable tools are mounted on the end-effector, and it will hurt humans and bring damage to the robot when the end-effector is out of the prescribed task region. Third, it may bring a new idea to the designed controller for avoiding collisions in pHRI when collisions occur in the prescribed trajectory of end-effector
Multi-view Multi-label Anomaly Network Traffic Classification based on MLP-Mixer Neural Network
Network traffic classification is the basis of many network security
applications and has attracted enough attention in the field of cyberspace
security. Existing network traffic classification based on convolutional neural
networks (CNNs) often emphasizes local patterns of traffic data while ignoring
global information associations. In this paper, we propose a MLP-Mixer based
multi-view multi-label neural network for network traffic classification.
Compared with the existing CNN-based methods, our method adopts the MLP-Mixer
structure, which is more in line with the structure of the packet than the
conventional convolution operation. In our method, the packet is divided into
the packet header and the packet body, together with the flow features of the
packet as input from different views. We utilize a multi-label setting to learn
different scenarios simultaneously to improve the classification performance by
exploiting the correlations between different scenarios. Taking advantage of
the above characteristics, we propose an end-to-end network traffic
classification method. We conduct experiments on three public datasets, and the
experimental results show that our method can achieve superior performance.Comment: 15 pages,6 figure
Alternative splicing event associated with immunological features in bladder cancer
Bladder cancer (BLCA) is the most prevalent urinary tumor with few treatments. Alternative splicing (AS) is closely related to tumor development and tumor immune microenvironment. However, the comprehensive analysis of AS and prognosis and immunological features in BLCA is still lacking. In this study, we downloaded RNA-Seq data and clinical information from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and AS events were acquired from the TCGA Splice-seq. A total of eight prognostic AS events (C19orf57|47943|ES, ANK3|11845|AP, AK9|77203|AT, GRIK2|77096|AT, DYM|45472|ES, PTGER3|3415|AT, ACTG1|44120|RI, and TRMU|62711|AA) were identified by univariate analysis and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis to construct a risk score model. The Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that the high-risk group had a worse prognosis compared with the low-risk group. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves (AUCs) for this risk score model in 1, 3, and 5 years were 0.698, 0.742, and 0.772, respectively. One of the prognostic AS event-related genes, TRMU, was differentially expressed between tumor and normal tissues in BLCA. The single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) and CIBERSORT algorithm showed that both the risk score model and TRMU were significantly associated with tumor immune microenvironment and immune status (immune cells, immune-related pathway, and immune checkpoint) in BLCA patients. The TIMER database confirmed the relationship between the expression of TRMU and immune cells and checkpoint genes. Furthermore, Cytoscape software 3.8.0 was used to construct the regulatory network between AS and splicing factors (SFs). Our study demonstrated that AS events were powerful biomarkers to predict the prognosis and immune status in BLCA, which may be potential therapeutic targets in BLCA
Bayesian estimation of human impedance and motion intention for human-robot collaboration
This article proposes a Bayesian method to acquire the estimation of human impedance and motion intention in a human-robot collaborative task. Combining with the prior knowledge of human stiffness, estimated stiffness obeying Gaussian distribution is obtained by Bayesian estimation, and human motion intention can be also estimated. An adaptive impedance control strategy is employed to track a target impedance model and neural networks are used to compensate for uncertainties in robotic dynamics. Comparative simulation results are carried out to verify the effectiveness of estimation method and emphasize the advantages of the proposed control strategy. The experiment, performed on Baxter robot platform, illustrates a good system performance

Estimation of human impedance and motion intention for constrained human-robot interaction
In this paper, a complete framework for safe and efficient physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is developed for robot by considering both issues of adaptation to the human partner and ensuring the motion constraints during the interaction. We consider the robot’s learning of not only human motion intention, but also the human impedance. We employ radial basis function neural networks (RBFNNs) to estimate human motion intention in real time, and least square method is utilized in robot learning of human impedance. When robot has learned the impedance information about human, it can adjust its desired impedance parameters by a simple tuning law for operative compliance. An adaptive impedance control integrated with RBFNNs and full-state constraints is also proposed in our work. We employ RBFNNs to compensate for uncertainties in the dynamics model of robot and barrier Lyapunov functions are chosen to ensure that full-state constraints are not violated in pHRI. Results in simulations and experiments show the better performance of our proposed framework compared with traditional methods
FedForgery: Generalized Face Forgery Detection with Residual Federated Learning
With the continuous development of deep learning in the field of image
generation models, a large number of vivid forged faces have been generated and
spread on the Internet. These high-authenticity artifacts could grow into a
threat to society security. Existing face forgery detection methods directly
utilize the obtained public shared or centralized data for training but ignore
the personal privacy and security issues when personal data couldn't be
centralizedly shared in real-world scenarios. Additionally, different
distributions caused by diverse artifact types would further bring adverse
influences on the forgery detection task. To solve the mentioned problems, the
paper proposes a novel generalized residual Federated learning for face Forgery
detection (FedForgery). The designed variational autoencoder aims to learn
robust discriminative residual feature maps to detect forgery faces (with
diverse or even unknown artifact types). Furthermore, the general federated
learning strategy is introduced to construct distributed detection model
trained collaboratively with multiple local decentralized devices, which could
further boost the representation generalization. Experiments conducted on
publicly available face forgery detection datasets prove the superior
performance of the proposed FedForgery. The designed novel generalized face
forgery detection protocols and source code would be publicly available.Comment: The code is available at https://github.com/GANG370/FedForgery. The

The Neurobase of ambiguity loss aversion about decision making
In our daily decision-making, there are two confusing problems: risk and ambiguity. Many psychological studies and neuroscience studies have shown that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is an important neural mechanism for modulating the human brain in risk and ambiguity decision-making, especially the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). We used transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to reveal the causal relationship between the DLPFC and ambiguity decision-making. We design two experimental tasks involving ambiguity to gain and ambiguity to loss. The results of our study show that there is a significant effect on left DLPFC stimulation about ambiguity to loss, there is an insignificant effect on left DLPFC stimulation about ambiguity to gain, and there is an insignificant effect on right DLPFC stimulation about ambiguity to gain and ambiguity to loss. This result indicates that people are more sensitive to ambiguity loss than ambiguity gain. Further analysis found that the degree of participants’ attitudes toward ambiguity loss who received anodal simulation was lower than that who received sham stimulation across the left DLPFC, which means that the subjects had a strong ambiguity loss aversion after the participants received the anodal simulation of the left DLPFC
