    Design of a Hybrid Aerial Robot with Multi-Mode Structural Efficiency and Optimized Mid-Air Transition

    Unmanned Systems17 Sep 2019

    In this paper, we explore a novel multi-mode hybrid Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). We combine a tailless fixed-wing with a dual-wing monocopter such that the craft’s propulsion systems and aerodynamic surfaces are fully utilized in both a horizontal cruising mode and a vertical hovering mode. This maximizes the structural efficiency across the flight envelope, thereby reducing drag and unused mass while airborne in either flight mode. This UAV is also designed such that the transition between the two flight modes can be executed in mid-air, using only its existing flight actuators and sensors — there are no transition specific actuators. Using two prototypes, the foundational design and control of the system is established; the first explores the hovering mode characteristics of the unique dual-wing monocopter configuration, while the second explores the full multi-mode capabilities of the combined platform. In addition to analytical simulations, the prototypes are experimentally evaluated and assessed to demonstrate the feasibility, viability and potential of this multi-mode aerial robot design.

    Surface structured mesh generation system based on symmetry preserving parameterization

    Structured meshes are becoming increasingly popular as a discretization technique in industries where solution accuracy is of paramount importance. However, generating structured meshes directly on the model surface presents a challenge. Consequently, many researchers are now exploring mapping methods for structured mesh generation. In this context, parameterization algorithms are vital as they map the model surface from 3D space to a 2D parametric domain. Existing parameterization algorithms, despite their advancements, still face limitations in preserving symmetry information from the input model. To address this issue, we propose a symmetry preserving parameterization algorithm based on geometric constraint. This algorithm utilizes plane reflection symmetry transformation to identify the main symmetry plane of the model and calculate the symmetry factor. Based on the fixed points and the symmetry factor, a conformal parametric symmetry plane is obtained. Furthermore, we develop a surface structured mesh generation system to provide engineers with a tool that can rapidly generate meshes. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm achieves higher quality results compared to other parameterization algorithms.

    An Interactive English–Chinese Translation System Based on GLA Algorithm

    In view of the longtime interactive English–Chinese translation system, an interactive English–Chinese translation system based on Griffin–Lim algorithm (GLA) is proposed. The hardware design of the system is completed by the hardware structure design, the interactive English–Chinese translation memory design and the interactive English–Chinese translation retrieval system design. Through analysing the semantic characteristics of interactive English–Chinese translation, constructing interactive English–Chinese translation database and designing interactive English–Chinese translation process, the system software design is completed and interactive English–Chinese translation is realised. The results of the system test show that the interactive English–Chinese translation system based on the GLA algorithm cannot only shorten the time of interactive English–Chinese translation, but also accelerate the response speed of the translation system, and greatly improve the overall performance of the interactive English–Chinese translation system.

    ENVISIONMENTS - CONSTRUCTING DRAMATIC VIRTUAL WORLDS

    If virtual worlds are to fulfil their promise as stages for entertainment, education and artistic endeavour, with who or what shall we people them? And what methods are available to us to design the dramatic elements of these worlds? Both drama and virtual realities are multi-modal experiences. By drawing on crossover research between the disciplines of theatre, HCI and system design, we put forward an innovative basic framework for the design of virtual worlds – an envisionment. This paper will examine the nature of interactive experience in relation to user viewpoint and identity, and will develop a frame of reference for the structure and composition of virtual worlds in dramatic terms: location and environment, content, actions, time-scale, events, metaphysical structures and characters. We shall draw attention to the significance of constraints and potentials to envisionment and to techniques drawn from object-oriented analysis and design to model them. We hope that this paper will stimulate a discussion of the issues raised and future directions for research.

    Design and Performance Estimation of Mixed-Robotic Fulfillment System

    E-commerce retailers face the challenge to assemble a large number of time-critical picking orders. Common parts-to-picker autonomous intelligent warehouses such as automated vehicle storage and retrieval system and robotic mobile fulfillment system are often a little ill-suited for these prerequisites. A mixed-robotic fulfillment system is a hybrid robot picking system based on multi-device collaboration. It is a fusion innovation of traditional automated vehicle storage and retrieval system and robotic mobile fulfillment system. This paper comprehensively considers the characteristics of the system and customer demand, through the construction of a queuing network model to evaluate the performance of the system. A series of problems such as order service time, throughput capacity, and vehicle quantity configuration are analyzed experimentally. The validity of the model is verified by a simulation model.

    A MULTIFORMALISM MODULAR APPROACH TO ERTMS/ETCS FAILURE MODELING

    European Railway Traffic Management System/European Train Control System (ERTMS/ETCS) is a recent standard aimed at improving performance, safety and inter-operability of modern railways. In order to be compliant to ERTMS/ETCS, a railway signalling system must meet strict nonfunctional requirements on system level failure modes. In this paper, a multiformalism model is employed to perform an availability analysis of an ERTMS/ETCS reference architecture at early phases of its development cycle. At this aim, a bottom-up analysis is performed from subsystem failure models (expressed by means of Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets, Fault Trees and Repairable Fault Trees) up to the overall system model. The modular approach, here used, allows to evaluate the influence of basic design parameters on the probability of system-level failure modes and demonstrates that system availability is within the bound required by the ERTMS/ETCS specification. The results show that the multiformalism modeling approach helps to cope with complexity, eases the verification of availability requirements and can be successfully applied to the analysis of complex critical systems.

    Chapter 7: User Preference Sources: Explicit vs. Implicit Feedback

    The process of collecting preferences from users is fundamental during the normal operational life of a recommender system. The preference elicitation strategy can affect both the “user utility” (how well the system can make good recommendations to the new user who is undergoing the elicitation process) and the “system utility” (how well the system can provide good recommendations to all users, given what it learns from the new users). Not only do recommender systems need to gather information from users; they also need this information to be reliable and noiseless, as inconsistencies in user preferences limit prediction accuracy…
