A pair of tile-shaped transmitting and receiving coils, which is suitable for wireless power transfer system of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), is proposed in this paper. Both coils are designed as the tile shape to fit the AUV’s outer shell. And the transmitting coil which is located on the dock is a little larger than the receiving coil that is embedded in the UAV. With the HFSS software, the proposed coil shape was optimized. The performance of the coils was analyzed. By adjusting the coil offset distance and angle. the positioning relationship between the two coils was optimized. A serial-serial compensation topology was established, and an appropriate capacitor was selected to construct the WPT system. The experimental results verified the correctness of the theoretical analysis. The output power reached 30 W and the transmission efficiency reached 68.5%.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains a significant threat, emphasizing the critical importance of mask-wearing to reduce infection risks. However, existing methods for mask detection encounter challenges such as identifying small targets and achieving high accuracy. In this paper, we present an enhanced YOLOv7 model tailored for mask-wearing detection. we employing a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to augment the original dataset, introducing the Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM) mechanism into the YOLOv7 model to enhance its small target detection capabilities, and replacing the model’s activation function with Parametric Rectified Linear Unit (FReLU) to improve overall performance. Experimental validation on a dataset showcases an average precision of 97.8% and a real-time inference speed of 64 frames per second (fps), meeting the real-time mask-wearing detection requirements effectively.

Performance of gear transmissions affects the performance of mechanical equipment. It is necessary to develop more reliable gear pitch and tooth thickness accuracy detection methods in order to evaluate gear transmission performance and detect gear pitch and tooth thickness accuracy more accurately. Based on the basic theory of gears, binocular vision technology, and statistical principles, a new method that measures gear pitch and tooth thickness using machine vision is proposed: coaxial multi-ring detection (MCD). There is no contact, no damage, and a high degree of efficiency with this method. Using this method, we are able to detect the pitch and thickness accuracy of each gear tooth multiple times within the tooth width range and in multiple directions perpendicular to the gear axis. We statistically analyze the measurement results to determine the gear’s most accurate detection results. The measurement method for gear machining accuracy is investigated using the coaxial multi-ring detection method. The statistical analysis of multiple measurement results is carried out, and the measurement results obtained are highly consistent with those of the gear detection center. In conclusion, the measurement results of this method are highly reliable, and they can be used as a reliable basis for evaluating gear transmission performance.

As a crucial component of large aircraft, the assembly efficiency of aircraft skins directly impacts production efficiency. To achieve efficient manufacturing of aircraft skins, this paper proposes a multiple mobile robot control algorithm based on screw theory. The robot arm is integrated into a rail or AGV to increase its motion space, creating a mobile robot assembly system. To address the redundant degrees of freedom problem caused by the mobile manipulator, this paper adopts the screw theory to describe the motion of multiple robots. Furthermore, to ensure the constraint of the motion between multiple robots, this paper proposes a multi-robot control method based on screw constraint. Rigid body constraints are assigned to the end of each mobile manipulator, and the motion is decomposed to the mobile platform and the robot arm. Finally, the cooperative motion control of multiple mobile manipulators is realized. The proposed algorithm is applied in the multi-mobile manipulator cooperative aircraft panel assembly task, achieving efficient assembly of aircraft panel and long truss.

Statistical process control basically involves inspecting a random sample of the output from a process and deciding whether the process is producing products with characteristics that fall within a predetermined range. It is used extensively in the field of reliability engineering. The reliability of the production process is thoroughly monitored for any internal variation using the SPC. The aim is always to settle such variations through a proper control monitoring. If the underlying distribution of the process is known to the researcher than the use of parametric control charts are useful but in many cases when there is doubt about the distribution of the process then it is preferred to use non parametric control charts. In this paper we propose the modified Exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA), Double Exponentially weighted moving average (DEWMA), Hybrid Exponentially weighted moving average (HEWMA), Extended Exponentially weighted moving average (EEWMA), Modified Exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) and mix- type control charts by mixing these control charts with Tukey control chart EWMA-TCC, DEWMA-TCC, HEWMA-TCC, EEWMA-TCC, MEWMA-TCC for the shape parameter of the Kumaraswamy Lehmann-2 Power function distribution (KL2PFD).

As a generalized input-output model, the state-dependent exogenous variable autoregressive (SD-ARX) model has been intensively utilized to model complex nonlinear systems. Considering that more freedom can be provided by the state feedback control with variable feedback gain for constructing robust controllers, we propose a robust model predictive control (RMPC) algorithm with variable feedback gain on the basis of the SD-ARX model. First, the polytopic state space models (SSMs) of the system are constructed and the prediction accuracy of the SSMs is further improved by using the parameter variation rate information of the SD-ARX model. Then, an RMPC algorithm with variable feedback gain is synthesized for increasing the design freedom and enhancing the control performance. Two simulation examples, that is, the modeling and control of a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a water tank system, are provided to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed RMPC algorithm.

The existing methodologies employed for the quantification and regulation of tractor’s tillage depth present considerable shortcomings, primarily characterized by their low accuracy and poor disturbance rejection proficiency in complex agricultural terrains. In this study, we present a sophisticated feedback control strategy designed to mitigate these challenges. Our innovative approach hinges on calculating tillage depth from the alignment of the tractor’s hydraulic lifting arm, achieved by employing a mechanical angle sensor. This sensor adeptly gages the angle of the lifting arm, aligning it with the tillage angle of the pull rod and the implement’s angle, resulting in a robust relational model correlating the lifting arm angle with the tillage depth. This pioneering method amalgamates the accuracy inherent in the static model, derived from the tillage angle-based depth measurement, with the dynamic stability afforded by the mechanical ascertainment of the lifting arm angle. In conjunction, we introduce a Hybrid Extended State Observer-Based Backstepping Sliding Mode Controller (HESO-BacksteppingSMC). The HESO is instrumental in estimating unmeasured state variables and lumped disturbances, utilizing the system’s output feedback signal. Our control frame component capitalizes on the fast power-reaching law to yield a continuously smooth control signal, effectively eradicating the conventional chattering phenomenon inherent in controllers and amplifying its functional applicability. Theoretical evaluations affirm the uniformly and ultimately bounded stability of the errors associated with our proposed observer and controller, underscoring their robustness. The superior performance of our proposed tillage depth measurement and control methodology has been corroborated through a series of comprehensive simulation and field plowing trials, attesting to its precision and reliability in complex agricultural settings.

A novel any cell to any cell equalization circuit topology with small column, low weight, low cost, and high efficiency is proposed for serial-connected batteries, especially suitable for unmanned aerial vehicles, satellites, and other fields with strict requirements on size, weight, reliability, and safety. To solve the problems of high switching losses in equalization circuits and low reliability of complex control schemes. A half-bridge circuit to convert the DC voltage of the battery into AC voltage is employed, and the energy is exchanged autonomously via the bus. At the same time, LC resonant circuit is used to achieve zero-current switching of the MOSFET, thus reduces greatly the switching losses. The working principle is analyzed by theoretical derivation, and the parameters of the circuit are optimized through circuit simulation. Furthermore, experiments which support six cells equalization are carried out to verify the feasibility and advantage of this topology. This equalization uses a bus-type architecture to improve equalization efficiency and topological flexibility making it even more valuable in the industrial and aerospace fields.

Engine as the core component of mechanical equipment, its operating state directly affects whether the equipment can operate normally. Predicting the engine remaining useful life (RUL) can monitor the health of the engine in real time and formulate a timely and reasonable maintenance plan. Aiming at the engine monitoring data with various and long time span, we propose a direct prediction method of engine RUL based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) optimized multi-layer Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in this paper. Firstly, the monitoring data that can well reflect the engine degradation trend is screened out, and the samples are constructed through a sliding time window. Then, a multi-layer LSTM model is constructed to mine the deep-seated features of the samples for predicting the engine RUL. Finally, the hyperparameters of the multi-layer LSTM model are optimized automatically by the PSO algorithm to optimize the performance of the model. The effectiveness of this method is verified by NASA data set. RMSE, MAE and the scoring function are used as evaluation indexes. RMSE and score of the prediction results are 12.35 and 284.1, respectively. It has higher prediction accuracy compared with traditional deep learning and machine learning methods.

Lost motion is utilized to characterize the transmission accuracy of gear reducers and is commonly evaluated through the hysteresis curve method. In examinations of lost motion for large and medium-sized reducers, the default practice is the application of the equal torque gradient loading method. Nonetheless, for small-sized reducers, this approach is deemed inappropriate due to the constraints of the servo motor loading resolution. This study reveals that employing a larger unit torque for equal torque gradient loading can modify the shape of the hysteresis curve and influence the assessment of lost motion. As a result, this paper introduces two innovative loading techniques, namely equal position gradient loading and uniform speed loading, to address the limitations of equal torque gradient loading and reduce the demands on testing equipment. Subsequent experiments validate the issues associated with equal torque gradient loading, confirm the effectiveness of the two new loading techniques, and yield more comprehensive hysteresis curves. It is important to note that all three loading methods are influenced by the loading rate, but the two novel methods can mitigate the effects of loading rate dependency.
