The reaction torque acted on the satellite base＇s centroid is an important index to measure the satellite base＇s disturbance. In this paper, a comprehensive analysis of the reaction torque is made, and a novel way to derive the analytical form of the reaction torque is proposed. In addition,the reaction torque null-space is derived, in which the manipulator＇s joint motion is dynamically decoupled from the motion of the satellite base, and its novel expression demonstrates the equivalence between the reaction torque null-space and the reaction null-space. Furthermore, the reaction torque acted as an optimization index can be utilized to achieve satellite base disturbance minimization in the generalized Jacobian-based end-effector Cartesian path tracking task. Besides, supposing that the redundant degrees of freedom are abundant to achieve reaction torque-based active control, the reaction torque can be used to realize satellite base attitude control, that is, base attitude adjustment or maintenance. Moreover, because reaction torque-based control is a second-order control scheme, joint torque minimization can be regarded as the optimization task in reaction torque-based active or in-active control. A real-time simulation system of a 7-DOF space robot under Linux/RTAI is developed to verify and test the feasibility and reliability of the proposed ideas. Our extensive empirical results demonstrate that the corresponding analysis about the reaction torque is correct and the proposed methods are feasible.展开更多

The base attitude adjustment by the movement of manipulator will save propellant compared with conventional attitude control system. A task-priority reaction null-space control method is applied to achieve the primary task of adjusting attitude and secondary task of accomplishing end-effector task. Furthermore, the algorithm singularity is eliminated in the proposed algorithm compared with conventional reaction null-space algorithm. And the singular value filtering decomposition is introduced to dispose the dynamic singularity, the unit quaternion is also introduced to overcome representation singularity. Hence, a singularity robust path planning algorithm of space robot for base attitude adjustment is derived. A real time simulation system of the space robot under Linux/RTAl （realtime application interface） is developed to verify and test the feasibility and reliability of the method. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of online base attitude adjustment of space robot by the proposed algorithm.展开更多

The satellite attitude control task is defined as the primary task, while the leastsquares-based non-strict task priority solution of the end-effector plus the multi-constraint task is viewed as the secondary task. Furthermore, a null-space task compensation strategy in the joint space is proposed to derive the combination of non-strict and strict task-priority motion planning,and this novel combination is termed hybrid task priority control. Thus, the secondary task is implemented in the primary task＇s null-space. Besides, the transition of the state of multiple constraints between activeness and inactiveness will only influence the end-effector task without any effect on the primary task. A set of numerical experiments made in a real-time simulation system under Linux/RTAI shows the validity and feasibility of the proposed methodology.展开更多

文摘Federated learning is a decentralized model training paradigm with significant potential.However,the quality of Federated Network’s client updates can vary due to non-IID data distributions,leading to suboptimal global models.To address this issue,we propose a novel client selection strategy called FedPA(Performance-Based Federated Averaging).This proposed model selectively aggregates client updates based on a predefined performance threshold.Only clients whose local models achieve an F1 score of 70%or higher after training are included in the aggregation process.Clients below this threshold receive the updated global model but do not contribute their parameters.In this way,the low-performance clients are still in the process of learning and,after some rounds,will be able to contribute.If no client meets the performance threshold in a given round,the system falls back to standard FedAvg aggregation.This ensures the global model continues to improve even when most clients perform poorly.We evaluate FedPA on a subset of the MURA dataset for abnormality detection in radiographs of four bone types.Compared to baseline federated learning algorithms such as Federated Averaging(FedAvg),Federated Proximal(FedProx),Federated Stochastic Gradient Descent(FedSGD),and Federated Batch Normalization(FedBN),FedPA consistently ranks first or second across key performance metrics,particularly in accuracy,F1 score,and recall.Moreover,FedPA demonstrates notable efficiency,achieving the lowest average round time(≈2270 s)and minimal memory usage(≈645.58 MB),all without relying on GPU resources.These results highlight FedPA’s effectiveness in improving global model quality while reducing computational overhead,positioning it as a promising approach for real-world federated learning applications in resource-constrained environments.

文摘Dear Editor,This letter studies the problem of stealthy attacks targeting stochastic event-based estimation,alongside proposing measures for their mitigation.A general attack framework is introduced,and the corresponding stealthiness condition is analyzed.To enhance system security,we advocate for a single-dimensional encryption method,showing that securing a singular data element is sufficient to shield the system from the perils of stealthy attacks.

文摘New electronic devices based on the physical properties of electrically driven skyrmions are promising for logic computing and nonvolatile memory applications.However,achieving efficient and practical compute-storage integration remains challenging owing to the structural complexity,limited functionality,and low flexibility observed in most skyrmion-based devices.In this study,we designed a novel device architecture that integrates seven basic logic gates into a unified physical structure.Their operation can be enabled by physical mechanisms,such as spin-orbit torque,spin-transfer torque,skyrmion-edge repulsions,and skyrmion-skyrmion interactions.Furthermore,by incorporating voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy,the device achieved multi-input capability and reconfigurability functionality.Ultralow power consumption(<1 fJ/bit per logic function)and extremely high logic density were achieved.Significantly,the compatibility of this nanotrack design with existing skyrmion racetrack memory paves the way for advanced in-memory computing in spintronic architectures.
