Superheat is the difference between the temperature of electrolyte and the temperature of primary crystal in aluminum electrolysis production, which is related to the physical field, current efficiency and electrolytic cell life and other important indicators in production. Therefore, by monitoring and identifying the degree of superheat, various parameters and blanking in the aluminum electrolysis process can be reasonably adjusted to keep the degree of superheat within a reasonable and stable range, which is of great significance to the efficient operation of the entire aluminum electrolysis cell. At present, many scholars have studied the identification of superheat and achieved a certain accuracy, but there are stiff few studies on the identification of the trend of superheat change. Therefore, in this paper, by mining the time sequence information of various data in the production process of aluminum electrolysis, the Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) algorithm with dual-stage attention mechanism (DA-LSTM) is used to classify and identify the superheat trend. The first stage of DA-LSTM introduces input feature attention to increase the weight of more relevant features. In the second stage, time step attention is introduced, and different time steps are weighted. Finally, the effectiveness of this method is verified by comparing with other methods, and it has higher accuracy.

Estimation of the drone’s distance-to-collision is the key to the indoor autonomous obstacle avoidance and navigation of monocular UAVs. At present, the distance-to-collision model mainly uses regression loss or ordinal regression for training Regression loss utilizes the continuity of distance, and ordinal regression loss utilizes the order of distance. To improve the prediction performance of the model, this paper proposes a multi-loss function trained deep learning model based on the linear combination of ordinal regression loss and regression loss. The regression loss can be obtained by adding a distance decoder after the ordinal regression estimation, without changing the original structure of the model. Finally, we test the model performance in public datasets and obtain good results.

Product quality assessment (PQA) aims to detect the quality of products through real-time physical measurement statistics. This problem is essentially a multivariate statistical analysis problem, which is prevalent in complex industrial process. However, there are few researches focusing on this problem. Besides, most existing PQA methods depend on the sense organs of evaluation experts or consumers, which is too subjective and the accuracy of evaluation results is often difficult to guarantee. In this article, we propose an instantaneous PQA method which performs two-step evaluation on dual grains with the concurrent static and dynamic slow features of quality data obtained by slow feature analysis. First step is the coarse-grained evaluation step, which is the analysis with static slow features and then four quality levels can be achieved. For each quality level, to perform finer evaluation, the second step, which is fine-grained evaluation step, analyzes dynamic slow features to get the range of normal fluctuation characteristics. Finally, the online evaluation procedure and judging rules are designed for new products. To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed method, a case which is to assess the quality of a batch of cigarettes produced by an actual cigarette factory is studied and the result conforms to the experience of cigarette experts and demonstrates that the proposed method realizes instantaneous quality assessment.

Angle-of-arrival (AOA) target localization using the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been widely applied in many practical applications. To localize an invasive target quickly and accurately, both the estimation and UAV path optimization algorithms are required. This paper focuses on developing a path optimization method to improve the target estimation performance. Firstly, the problem formulation of AOA target localization is introduced. Secondly, the classical pseudolinear Kalman filter (PLKF) and the gradient-based path optimization are presented. Thirdly, we analyze the problems that existed in the previous methods and propose an improved gradient-descent path optimization algorithm combined with a simple grid search method. Finally, the simulation examples verify the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

For the problem of double robots working together in the welding process, this project proposes a path planning method based on Kmeans algorithm and ant colony algorithm. The Kmeans algorithm is used to classify all weld joint tasks and reasonably assign them to individual robots. The ant colony algorithm is used to sort the weld joints assigned to individual robots and also to plan the work route for each robot. The simulation results show that the task assignment to this method is more scientific and reasonable than the existing methods, and the path planning results are shorter than the existing ones.

In this paper, a control strategy based on sliding mode control and radial basis function neural network is proposed for dynamic positioning vessels with nonlinearity, model uncertainty, time-varying disturbances, and input saturation. Sliding mode control is employed in the design of a novel nonlinear controller for dynamic positioning vessels to enhance the robustness. Radial basis function neural network is introduced to approximate model uncertainty and time-varying disturbances, which can mitigate the chattering problem of sliding mode control. Moreover, an auxiliary design system is applied to mitigate the effectiveness of input saturation, which is widely existed in the marine control actuators. The closedloop signals are proved to be stable by Lyapunov theory. In conclusion, the multiple simulations illustrate the feasibility and advantages of the presented anti-windup neural network-sliding mode controller.

Since 2009, China has promulgated several laws and regulations to regulate the import of solid waste, but there has been a lack of supporting identification criteria. To provide detailed and feasible risk level identification criteria for imported appliances to guide the Customs identification of e-waste. This paper establishes a three-tier identification criterion which has 42 indicators covering: appearance, value of use, electrical safety risk, mechanical safety risk, toxic and hazardous substances risk. Using these indicators as input, an intelligent identification method constructed by support vector machine (SVM) algorithm could identify the risk level of imported appliances as low risk, medium risk, and high risk. To verify the effectiveness and practicality of this method, this paper uses the identification cases provided by Wuxi Customs. The results show that the identification method has high self-learning capability and accuracy.

Slab scheduling of hot rolling plays an important role in smart manufactory of heavy plate production. It faces the challenges of multiple specifications, small batch and characteristic mode of production. The wide-range fluctuation of product specifications leads the existing approaches difficult to used. To solve this problem, a novel slab scheduling approach based on heuristic and ant colony algorithms is proposed. The schedule problem is formulated in two stages, namely slab allocation and slab rolling sequence optimization. In the slab allocation stage, the strategy of selecting appropriate slabs from forward delivery is used. Then, an ant colony algorithm combined with a constraints handling strategy based on specification jump penalties is designed to solve the slab rolling sequence optimization problem. The computational experiments are carried out and the results demonstrate the effectiveness by the actual production data.
