A leader–follower structure is adopted, wherein the leader moves with reference dynamics (a target). Different from the existing approaches that necessitate full knowledge of the time-varying reference trajectory, in this paper, it is assumed that only some vehicles (at least one) have access to the bearing relative to the target, and all other vehicles are equipped with sensors capable of measuring the bearings relative to neighboring vehicles. In this paper, a consensus estimator is proposed to estimate the global position for each vehicle using relative bearing measurements and an estimate of neighboring vehicles received from a direct communication network. Then, a continuous robust integral of the sign of the error (RISE) control approach is effectively integrated with the distributed vector field approach to ensure UAV formation orbiting around the moving target while avoiding obstacles and maintaining network links within available communication ranges. In contrast to the classical RISE control rule, a \(\tanh (\cdot )\) function is used instead of the \(\text {sgn}(\cdot )\) function to further decrease the high-gain feedback and to obtain a smoother control signal. Furthermore, by using the localized radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs) in a cooperative way, deterministic learning theory is employed to accurately identify/learn model uncertainties resulting from the attitude dynamics. The convergence of the entire closed-loop system is illustrated using the Lyapunov theory and is shown to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.展开更多

文摘Multiple quadrotors target encirclement is widely used in the intelligent field,as it can effectively monitor and control target behavior.However,it faces the danger of collision,as well as difficulties in localization and tracking.Therefore,we propose a complete target encirclement method.Firstly,based on Hooke's law,a collision avoidance controller is designed to maintain a safe flying distance among quadrotors.Then,based on the consensus theory,a formation tracking controller is designed to meet the requirements of formation transformation and encirclement tasks,and a stability proof based on Lyapunov was provided.Besides,the target detection is designed based on YOLOv5s,and the target location model is constructed based on the principle of pinhole projection and triangle similarity.Finally,we conducted experiments on the built platform,with 3 reconnaissance quadrotors detecting and localization 3 target vehicles and 7 hunter quadrotors tracking them.The results show that the minimum average error for localization targets with reconnaissance quadrotors can reach 0.1354 m,while the minimum average error for tracking with hunter quadrotors is only 0.2960 m.No quadrotors collision occurred in the whole formation transformation and tracking experiment.In addition,compared with the advanced methods,the proposed method has better performance.
文摘In this paper, a bearing-based three-dimensional self-localization and distributed circumnavigation with connectivity preservation and collision avoidance are investigated for a group of quadrotor-type unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A leader–follower structure is adopted, wherein the leader moves with reference dynamics (a target). Different from the existing approaches that necessitate full knowledge of the time-varying reference trajectory, in this paper, it is assumed that only some vehicles (at least one) have access to the bearing relative to the target, and all other vehicles are equipped with sensors capable of measuring the bearings relative to neighboring vehicles. In this paper, a consensus estimator is proposed to estimate the global position for each vehicle using relative bearing measurements and an estimate of neighboring vehicles received from a direct communication network. Then, a continuous robust integral of the sign of the error (RISE) control approach is effectively integrated with the distributed vector field approach to ensure UAV formation orbiting around the moving target while avoiding obstacles and maintaining network links within available communication ranges. In contrast to the classical RISE control rule, a \(\tanh (\cdot )\) function is used instead of the \(\text {sgn}(\cdot )\) function to further decrease the high-gain feedback and to obtain a smoother control signal. Furthermore, by using the localized radial basis function (RBF) neural networks (NNs) in a cooperative way, deterministic learning theory is employed to accurately identify/learn model uncertainties resulting from the attitude dynamics. The convergence of the entire closed-loop system is illustrated using the Lyapunov theory and is shown to be uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

文摘In recent years,the rapid evolution of unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)has brought about transformative changes across various industries.However,addressing fundamental challenges in UAV technology,particularly target tracking and obstacle avoidance,remains crucial for wildlife protection,military industry security,etc.Many existing methods based on reinforcement learning to solve UAV multi-tasks need to be redesigned and retrained,and cannot be quickly and effectively extended to other scenarios.To this end,we propose a novel solution based on a hazard-aware weighted advantage combination for UAV target tracking and obstacle avoidance.First,we independently trained the UAV target tracking and obstacle avoidance using the dueling double deep Q-network reinforcement learning algorithm.Subsequently,in a multitasking scenario,we introduce the two pre-trained networks.Meanwhile,we design a weight determined by the present risk level encountered by the UAV.This weight is utilized to perform a weighted summation of the advantage values from both networks,eliminating the need for retraining to obtain the final action.We validate our approach through extensive simulation experiments in the robotics simulator known as CoppeliaSim.The results demonstrate that our method outper-forms current state-of-the-art techniques,achieving superior performance in both tracking accuracy and avoidance of collisions.

文摘Objectives:Positive family functioning(FF)is critical for adolescent development,yet only a few studies have examined this developmental trajectory pathway.This study aimed to identify different types of FF development trajectories during junior high school students,investigate their influence on social avoidance(SA),and further examine the mediating role of preference for solitude(PS)between them.Methods:A three-wave longitudinal study was used with six-month intervals.Questionnaire data were collected from 436 junior high school students in Jiangxi Province,China.Participants ranged in age from 11 to 14 years old(Mean=12.89 years,SD=1.08;50.2%male).Results:Four heterogeneous types of FF trajectories were identified:(1)a high and increasing group(14.7%);(2)a consistently high group(36.24%);(3)a consistently moderate group(45.86%);and(4)a rapid growth group(3.2%).The developmental trajectories of FF among junior high students significantly varied in their levels of SA(F(3,432)=32.03,p<0.001).Compared to the high and increasing groups,the consistently high,consistently medium,and rapid growth groups exhibited higher levels of SA.PS mediated the association between the developmental trajectory of FF and SA.Conclusion:There was a close relationship between the developmental trajectory of FF and SA.Interventions focusing on family system optimization and solitary preference management could effectively mitigate SA behaviors.These findings are important for promoting healthy socialization in adolescents.

文摘In this paper,a distributed Event-Triggered(ET)collision avoidance coordinated control for Quadrotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(QUAVs)is proposed based on Virtual Tubes(VTs)with flexible boundaries in the presence of unknown external disturbances.Firstly,VTs are constructed for each QUAV,and the QUAV is restricted into the corresponding VT by the artificial potential field,which is distributed around the boundary of the VT.Thus,the collisions between QUAVs are avoided.Besides,the boundaries of the VTs are flexible by the modification signals,which are generated by the self-regulating auxiliary systems,to make the repulsive force smaller and give more buffer space for QUAVs without collision.Then,a novel ET mechanism is designed by introducing the concept of prediction to the traditional fixed threshold ET mechanism.Furthermore,a disturbance observer is proposed to deal with the adverse effects of the unknown external disturbance.On this basis,a distributed ET collision avoidance coordinated controller is proposed.Then,the proposed controller is quantized by the hysteresis uniform quantizer and then sent to the actuator only at the ET instants.The boundedness of the closed-loop signals is verified by the Lyapunov method.Finally,simulation and experimental results are performed to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed control method.

文摘Due to the lack of human avoidance analysis,the orthosis cannot accurately apply orthopedic force during orthopedic,resulting in poor orthopedic effect.Therefore,the relationship between the human body’s active avoidance ability and force application is studied to achieve accurate loading of orthopedic force.First,a high-precision scoliosis model was established based on computed tomography data,and the relationship between orthopedic force and Cobb angle was analyzed.Then 9 subjects were selected for avoidance ability test grouped by body mass index calculation,and the avoidance function of different groups was fitted.The avoidance function corrected the application of orthopedic forces.The results show that the optimal correction force calculated by the finite element method was 60 N.The obese group had the largest avoidance ability,followed by the standard group and the lean group.When the orthopedic force was 60 N,the Cobb angle was reduced from 33.77°to 20°,the avoidance ability of the standard group at 50 N obtained from the avoidance function was 20.28%and 10.14 N was actively avoided.Therefore,when 50 N was applied,60.14 N was actually generated,which can achieve the orthopedic effect of 60 N numerical simulation analysis.The avoidance effect can take the active factors of the human body into consideration in the orthopedic process,so as to achieve a more accurate application of orthopedic force,and provide data reference for clinicians in the orthopedic process.

文摘In the realm of missile defense systems,the self-sufficient maneuver capacity of missile swarms is pivotal for their survival.Through the analysis of the missile dynamics model,a time-efficient cooperative attack strategy for missile swarm is proposed.Based on the distribution of the attackers and defenders,the collision avoidance against the defenders is considered during the attack process.By analyzing the geometric relationship between the relative velocity vector and relative position vector of the attackers and defenders,the collision avoidance constrains of attacking swarm are redefined.The key point is on adjusting the relative velocity vectors to fall outside the collision cone.This work facilitates high-precision attack toward the target while keeping safe missing distance between other attackers during collision avoidance process.By leveraging an innovative repulsion artificial function,a time-efficient cooperative attack strategy for missile swarm is obtained.Through rigorous simulation,the effectiveness of this cooperative attack strategy is substantiated.Furthermore,by employing Monte Carlo simulation,the success rate of the cooperative attack strategy is assessesed and the optimal configuration for the missile swarm is deduced.
文摘This study aims to systematically review the various factors influencing corporate tax avoidance.Tax avoidance refers to legal strategies used to minimize tax liabilities and has become a critical issue in accounting and corporate governance.The study examines key determinants of tax avoidance,including firm characteristics(such as size,leverage,and multinational scale),managerial attributes,executive compensation,ownership structure,corporate social responsibility(CSR)performance,as well as the impact of regulations and legal reforms.The review findings highlight that the motivations behind tax avoidance are multifaceted,driven by the interaction of economic incentives,organizational ethics,external pressures,and public policies.Moreover,strict regulatory environments and strong CSR practices can mitigate tax avoidance behaviors,although their effectiveness is often contingent upon a firm’s cultural and political context.This study offers a comprehensive mapping of the current literature and recommends future research that integrates additional variables and broader time spans to enhance the understanding of tax avoidance behavior across different national contexts.
