This paper proposes a time-frequency approach for Blind Source Seperation (BSS) for intelligent Human-Machine Interaction(HMI). Main idea of the algorithm is to simultaneously diagonalize the correlation matrix of the pre-whitened signals at different time delays for every frequency bins in time-frequency domain. The prososed method has two merits: (1) fast convergence speed; (2) high signal to interference ratio of the separated signals. Numerical evaluations are used to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with two other deconvolution algorithms. An efficient algorithm to resolve permutation ambiguity is also proposed in this paper. The algorithm proposed saves more than 10% of computational time with properly selected parameters and achieves good performances for both simulated convolutive mixtures and real room recorded speeches.展开更多

文摘To reduce the complexity of the configuration and control strategy for shoulder rehabilitation exoskeleton,a 2R1R1P2R serial of shoulder exoskeleton based on gravity balance is proposed.Based on three basic rotatory shoulder joints,an exact kinematic constraint system can be formed between the exoskeleton and the upper arm by introducing a passive sliding pair and a center of glenohumeral(CGH)unpowered compensation mechanism,which realizes the human-machine kinematic compatibility.Gravity balance is used in the CGH compensation mechanism to provide shoulder joint support.Meanwhile,the motion of the compensation mechanism is pulled by doing reverse leading through the arm to realize the kinematic self-adaptive,which decreases control complexity.Besides,a simple and intuitive spring adjustment strategy is proposed to ensure the gravity balance of any prescribed quality.Furthermore,according to the influencing factors analysis of the scapulohumeral rhythm,the kinematic analysis of CGH mechanism is performed,which shows that the mechanism can fit the trajectory of CGH under various conditions.Finally,the dynamic simulation of the mechanism is carried out.Results indicate that the compensation torques are reduced to below 0.22 N·m,and the feasibility of the mechanism is also verified.

文摘The Chinese express delivery industry processes nearly 110 billion items in 2022,averaging an annual growth rate of 200%.Among the various types of sorting systems used for handling express items,cross-belt sorting systems stand out as the most crucial.However,despite their high degree of automation,the workload for operators has intensified owing to the surging volume of express items.In the era of Industry 5.0,it is imperative to adopt new technologies that not only enhance worker welfare but also improve the efficiency of cross-belt systems.Striking a balance between efficiency in handling express items and operator well-being is challenging.Digital twin technology offers a promising solution in this respect.A realization method of a human-machine integrated digital twin is proposed in this study,enabling the interaction of biological human bodies,virtual human bodies,virtual equipment,and logistics equipment in a closed loop,thus setting an operating framework.Key technologies in the proposed framework include a collection of heterogeneous data from multiple sources,construction of the relationship between operator fatigue and operation efficiency based on physiological measurements,virtual model construction,and an online optimization module based on real-time simulation.The feasibility of the proposed method was verified in an express distribution center.

文摘Speech recognition rate will deteriorate greatly in human-machine interaction when the speaker's speech mixes with a bystander's voice. This paper proposes a time-frequency approach for Blind Source Seperation (BSS) for intelligent Human-Machine Interaction(HMI). Main idea of the algorithm is to simultaneously diagonalize the correlation matrix of the pre-whitened signals at different time delays for every frequency bins in time-frequency domain. The prososed method has two merits: (1) fast convergence speed; (2) high signal to interference ratio of the separated signals. Numerical evaluations are used to compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with two other deconvolution algorithms. An efficient algorithm to resolve permutation ambiguity is also proposed in this paper. The algorithm proposed saves more than 10% of computational time with properly selected parameters and achieves good performances for both simulated convolutive mixtures and real room recorded speeches.

文摘As the Internet of Things advances,gesture recognition emerges as a prominent domain in human-machine interaction(HMI).However,interactive wearables based on conductive hydrogels for individuals with single-arm functionality or disabilities remain underexplored.Here,we devised a wearable one-handed keyboard with gesture recognition,employing machine learning algorithms and hydrogel-based mechanical sensors to boost productivity.PCG(PAM/CMC/rGO)hydrogels are composed of polyacrylamide(PAM),sodium carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC),and reduced graphene oxide(rGO),which function as a strain,pressure sensor,and electrode material.The PAM chains offer the gel’s elasticity by covalent cross-linking,while the biocompatible CMC improves the dispersion of rGO and promotes electromechanical properties.Integrating rGO sheets into the polymer matrix facilitates cross-linking and generates supple-mentary conductive pathways,thereby augmenting the gel system’s elasticity,sensitivity,and durability.Our hydrogel sensors include high sensitivity(gage factor(GF)=8.18,395.6%-551.96%)and superior pressure sensing capabilities(Sensitivity(S)=0.3116 kPa^(-1),0-9.82 kPa).Furthermore,we developed a wearable keyboard with up to 98.13%accuracy using convolutional neural networks and a custom data acquisition system.This study establishes the groundwork for creating multifunctional gel sensors for intelligent machines,wearable devices,and brain-computer interfaces.

文摘Background With an increasing number of vehicles becoming autonomous,intelligent,and connected,paying attention to the future usage of car human-machine interface with these vehicles should become more relevant.Several studies have addressed car HMI but were less attentive to designing and implementing interactive glazing for every day(autonomous)driving contexts.Methods Reflecting on the literature,we describe an engineering psychology practice and the design of six novel future user scenarios,which envision the application of a specific set of augmented reality(AR)support user interactions.Additionally,we conduct evaluations on specific scenarios and experiential prototypes,which reveal that these AR scenarios aid the target user groups in experiencing a new type of interaction.The overall evaluation is positive with valuable assessment results and suggestions.Conclusions This study can interest applied psychology educators who aspire to teach how AR can be operationalized in a human-centered design process to students with minimal pre-existing expertise or minimal scientific knowledge in engineering psychology.

文摘In this paper,we investigate analytical numerical iterative strategies for the pursuit-evasion game involving spacecraft with leader–follower information.In the proposed problem,the interplay between two spacecraft gives rise to a dynamic and real-time game,complicated further by the presence of perturbation.The primary challenge lies in crafting control strategies that are both efficient and applicable to real-time game problems within a nonlinear system.To overcome this challenge,we introduce the model prediction and iterative correction technique proposed in model predictive static programming,enabling the generation of strategies in analytical iterative form for nonlinear systems.Subsequently,we proceed by integrating this model predictive framework into a simplified Stackelberg equilibrium formulation,tailored to address the practical complexities of leader–follower pursuit-evasion scenarios.Simulation results validate the effectiveness and exceptional efficiency of the proposed solution within a receding horizon framework.
