文摘Traditional sampling-based path planning algorithms,such as the rapidly-exploring random tree star(RRT^(*)),encounter critical limitations in unstructured orchard environments,including low sampling efficiency in narrow passages,slow convergence,and high computational costs.To address these challenges,this paper proposes a novel hybrid global path planning algorithm integrating Gaussian sampling and quadtree optimization(RRT^(*)-GSQ).This methodology aims to enhance path planning by synergistically combining a Gaussian mixture sampling strategy to improve node generation in critical regions,an adaptive step-size and direction optimization mechanism for enhanced obstacle avoidance,a Quadtree-AABB collision detection framework to lower computational complexity,and a dynamic iteration control strategy for more efficient convergence.In obstacle-free and obstructed scenarios,compared with the conventional RRT^(*),the proposed algorithm reduced the number of node evaluations by 67.57%and 62.72%,and decreased the search time by 79.72%and 78.52%,respectively.In path tracking tests,the proposed algorithm achieved substantial reductions in RMSE of the final path compared to the conventional RRT^(*).Specifically,the lateral RMSE was reduced by 41.5%in obstacle-free environments and 59.3%in obstructed environments,while the longitudinal RMSE was reduced by 57.2%and 58.5%,respectively.Furthermore,the maximum absolute errors in both lateral and longitudinal directions were constrained within 0.75 m.Field validation experiments in an operational orchard confirmed the algorithm's practical effectiveness,showing reductions in the mean tracking error of 47.6%(obstacle-free)and 58.3%(with obstructed),alongside a 5.1%and 7.2%shortening of the path length compared to the baseline method.The proposed algorithm effectively enhances path planning efficiency and navigation accuracy for robots,presenting a superior solution for high-precision autonomous navigation of agricultural robots in orchard environments and holding significant value for engineering applications.

文摘Q-learning is a classical reinforcement learning method with broad applicability.It can respond effectively to environmental changes and provide flexible strategies,making it suitable for solving robot path-planning problems.However,Q-learning faces challenges in search and update efficiency.To address these issues,we propose an improved Q-learning(IQL)algorithm.We use an enhanced Ant Colony Optimization(ACO)algorithmto optimizeQtable initialization.We also introduce the UCH mechanism to refine the reward function and overcome the exploration dilemma.The IQL algorithm is extensively tested in three grid environments of different scales.The results validate the accuracy of themethod and demonstrate superior path-planning performance compared to traditional approaches.The algorithm reduces the number of trials required for convergence,improves learning efficiency,and enables faster adaptation to environmental changes.It also enhances stability and accuracy by reducing the standard deviation of trials to zero.On grid maps of different sizes,IQL achieves higher expected returns.Compared with the original Q-learning algorithm,IQL improves performance by 12.95%,18.28%,and 7.98% on 10*10,20*20,and 30*30 maps,respectively.The proposed algorithm has promising applications in robotics,path planning,intelligent transportation,aerospace,and game development.

文摘The advent of digital and intelligent era has brought profound impacts to higher education in terms of teaching models,learning resources,teacher-student roles,and instructional management.Among them,local universities with relatively weak resources but large scale are particularly noteworthy.A questionnaire survey on the current situation of informative teaching among teachers from local universities found that their overall awareness of informative teaching is positive,but their ability structure is uneven,especially in data-driven teaching evaluation and human-machine collaborative design,where there are obvious shortcomings.Research has revealed that the development of teachers'informative teaching ability is influenced by internal factors such as intrinsic motivation and data literacy,as well as external factors such as training systems and school support.Based on this,a systematic improvement path of"concept guidance-precise empowerment-environmental support-institutional guarantee"four-in-one is proposed to provide practical reference for promoting the professional development of teachers from local universities and the digital transformation of higher education.

文摘Topological phases are governed by lattice symmetries,yet how different symmetry-breaking paths(SBPs)affect topological transitions remains insufficiently understood.Most existing studies rely on a single SBP,and address only one bandgap,limiting independent control of multiple gaps.Here,we investigate multiple isolated Dirac points in a trefoil-knot-modified honeycomb lattice,and show that a single SBP generally inverts all relevant Dirac points simultaneously,whereas the tailored combinations of SBPs enable selective and programmable band inversion at targeted gaps.The excitation-dependent responses reveal strong modal selectivity.This capability is exploited to realize independently controllable multi-channel signal splitting,which is unattainable with a single SBP.The results enable SBPs as an effective design degree of freedom for programmable and reconfigurable topological elastic devices.

文摘Rapidly-exploring Random Tree(RRT)and its variants have become foundational in path-planning research,yet in complex three-dimensional off-road environments their uniform blind sampling and limited safety guarantees lead to slow convergence and force an unfavorable trade-off between path quality and traversal safety.To address these challenges,we introduce HS-APF-RRT*,a novel algorithm that fuses layered sampling,an enhanced Artificial Potential Field(APF),and a dynamic neighborhood-expansion mechanism.First,the workspace is hierarchically partitioned into macro,meso,and micro sampling layers,progressively biasing random samples toward safer,lower-energy regions.Second,we augment the traditional APF by incorporating a slope-dependent repulsive term,enabling stronger avoidance of steep obstacles.Third,a dynamic expansion strategy adaptively switches between 8 and 16 connected neighborhoods based on local obstacle density,striking an effective balance between search efficiency and collision-avoidance precision.In simulated off-road scenarios,HS-APF-RRT*is benchmarked against RRT*,GoalBiased RRT*,and APF-RRT*,and demonstrates significantly faster convergence,lower path-energy consumption,and enhanced safety margins.

文摘Excavation causes stress redistribution and affects the stress path during the shearing process of rock.The shear strength of rock varies under different stress paths,and the presence of defects reduces the shear strength.To further investigate this phenomenon,this study investigates the shear behaviour of rocks with different shear surface integrities under the influenceof different stress paths through laboratory tests and numerical simulations.The results indicate that the shear strength depends on the stress path and a decrease in the shear surface integrity reduces the degree of dependence.The cohesion and friction angle of the Mohr‒Coulomb criterion decrease with weakening of the shear surface integrity.For different stress paths,the direct shear strength is always greater than that of other shear stress paths.The pattern of changes in the acoustic emission count and cumulative count indirectly reflectsthe above findings.Numerical simulations further indicate that the different principal stress states and normal suppression effects during the shearing process lead to changes in the factors of crack propagation,resulting in different mechanical behaviours under various stress paths.For rocks with different integrity levels,the main reason for the different path dependences of shear strength is that the size of the area affected by shear is different.Shear failure will concentrate on the shear plane when the normal inhibition effect is greater.This study explores the mechanism of rock shear behaviour,providing a theoretical basis for establishing more accurate constitutive models and strength criteria.

文摘To address low learning efficiency and inadequate path safety in spraying robot navigation within complex obstacle-rich environments—with dense,dynamic,unpredictable obstacles challenging conventional methods—this paper proposes a hybrid algorithm integrating Q-learning and improved A*-Artificial Potential Field(A-APF).Centered on theQ-learning framework,the algorithmleverages safety-oriented guidance generated byA-APF and employs a dynamic coordination mechanism that adaptively balances exploration and exploitation.The proposed system comprises four core modules:(1)an environment modeling module that constructs grid-based obstacle maps;(2)an A-APF module that combines heuristic search from A*algorithm with repulsive force strategies from APF to generate guidance;(3)a Q-learning module that learns optimal state-action values(Q-values)through spraying robot-environment interaction and a reward function emphasizing path optimality and safety;and(4)a dynamic optimization module that ensures adaptive cooperation between Q-learning and A-APF through exploration rate control and environment-aware constraints.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly enhances path safety in complex underground mining environments.Quantitative results indicate that,compared to the traditional Q-learning algorithm,the proposed method shortens training time by 42.95% and achieves a reduction in training failures from 78 to just 3.Compared to the static fusion algorithm,it further reduces both training time(by 10.78%)and training failures(by 50%),thereby improving overall training efficiency.

文摘This paper develops a semi-analytical solution for pile penetration in natural soft clays using the strain path method(SPM).The stress-strain behavior of soils is characterized by the S-CLAY1S model,which can capture the anisotropic evolution and destructuring nature of soft clays.By integrating the S-CLAY1S model into the theoretical framework of the SPM,a set of ordinary differential equations is formulated with respect to the vertical coordinate of soil particles.The distribution of excess pore water pressure(EPWP)following pile installation is approximated through one-dimensional(1D)radial integration around the pile shaft.The distribution of stresses and EPWP,along with the evolution of fabric anisotropy within the soil surrounding the pile,is presented to illustrate the response of pile penetration in natural soft clays.The proposed solution is validated against existing theoretical solutions using the SPM and cavity expansion method(CEM),along with experimental data.The findings demonstrate that the SPM reveals lower radial effective stresses and EPWP at the pile shaft than that of CEM.Pile penetration alters the soil's anisotropic properties,inducing rotational hardening and affecting post-installation stress distribution.Soil destructuration eliminates bonding among particles near the pile,resulting in a complete disruption of soil structure at the pile surface,which is particularly pronounced for higher initial soil structure ratios.Minimal variation was observed in the three principal stresses and shear stress on the cone side surface as the angle increased from 18°to 60°,except for a slight reduction in EPWP.
