This study comprehensively evaluates FY-4B AMV products for August and October 2023, as well as January and April 2024,exploring their application in monitoring the South China Sea Summer Monsoon(SCSSM) onset. The results indicate that AMV products derived from the upper-level water vapor absorption channel(AMV_WV) and the infrared channel(AMV_IR) demonstrate high accuracy when compared with ERA5 reanalysis data. The root mean square error(RMSE) is mostly between 4.5 m s^(–1)and 6.4 m s^(–1), with coefficients of determination(R2) values ranging from 0.7 to 0.8, indicating the overall reliability of FY-4B AMVs. The observation errors of AMVs exhibit significant vertical structure characteristics. Specifically, the AMV_WV products demonstrate superior accuracy above 350 h Pa, while the AMV_IR products exhibit reduced errors in the layers between 200–500 h Pa and 700–950 h Pa. Spatially, most areas exhibit low observation errors for AMVs, while clear-sky weather and deep convective cloud systems can increase errors. A lack of clouds or water vapor may reduce the number of observation samples in some areas, leading to unstable RMSE performance, which is particularly evident for AMV_WV RMSE around 25°–30°N in January and near 25°S in August. Deep convective cloud systems can influence AMV retrieval results, leading to systematic observation errors, especially for the infrared channel.Additionally, AMV_WV is more reliable during the daytime, with a lower RMSE compared to nighttime, while AMV_IR exhibits a diverging diurnal variation pattern. Finally, the FY-4B AMV_WV products were applied to monitor the SCSSM event in 2024. Significant zonal wind direction reversal characteristics were observed in key regions around the onset date,indicating that AMVs can serve as effective indicators for monitoring the SCSSM onset.展开更多

Traditional methods often apply uniform deformation models, neglecting the biomechanical differences between rigid structures and soft tissues, which compromises registration accuracy, especially during significant bone displacements. Method To address this issue, we introduce RE-Reg, a rigid-elastic CT-CBCT image registration framework that jointly learns rigid bone motion and soft tissue deformation. RE-Reg incorporates a rigid alignment(RA) module to estimate global bone motion and an elastic deformation(ED) module to model soft tissue deformation, preserving bony structures through bone shape preservation(BSP) loss. Result Our comprehensive evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrates that RE-Reg significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of registration accuracy and rigid bone structure preservation, achieving a 1.3% improvement in Dice similarity coefficient(DSC) and a 23% reduction in rigid bone deformation(%Δvol) compared with the best baseline. Conclusion This framework not only enhances anatomical fidelity but also ensures biomechanical plausibility and provides a valuable tool for image-guided orthopedic surgery.

文摘The flocculation behavior of carbon black (CB)-filled isoprene rubber (IR) nanocomposites was systematically investigated under both dynamic and static conditions to unravel the distinct mechanisms governing filler network evolution.Under dynamic conditions,small oscillatory shear strains (0.1%) significantly enhanced filler particle motion,leading to pronounced agglomeration and a flocculation degree of about 4.3MPa at 145℃.In contrast,static flocculation exhibited a fundamentally different mechanism dominated by polymer chain dynamics,which is driven mainly by thermal activation.Radial distribution function (RDF) analysis of transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed a slight decrease (2 nm) in the interparticle distance peak after static annealing at 100℃ for 7 h,indicating localized motion of CB particles.However,the overall filler network remained stable,with no significant agglomeration observed.The increase in bound rubber content from about 23% to 28% with rising temperature further confirmed the dominant role of polymer chain adsorption and interfacial reinforcement in static flocculation.These findings highlight the critical influence of external strain on filler network formation and provide new insights into the polymer-dominated mechanism of static flocculation.The results offer practical guidance for optimizing the storage and processing of rubber nanocomposites,particularly in applications where static flocculation during prolonged storage is a concern.

文摘The accurate assessment of cardiac motion is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring cardiovascular diseases.In this context,digital volume correlation(DVC)has emerged as a promising technique for tracking cardiac motion from cardiac computed tomography angiographic(CTA)images.This paper presents a comprehensive performance evaluation of the DVC method,specifically focusing on tracking the motion of the left atrium using cardiac CTA data.The study employed a comparative experimental approach while simultaneously optimizing the existing DVC algorithm.Multiple sets of controlled experiments were designed to conduct quantitative analyses on the parameters“radius”and“step”.The results revealed that the optimized DVC algorithm enhanced tracking accuracy within a reasonable computational time.These findings contributed to the understanding of the efficacy and limitations of the DVC algorithm in analyzing heart deformation.

文摘The March 28,2025 Myanmar earthquake generated ground shaking that was perceptible throughout Myanmar and adjacent regions.This study simulated three-component ground motions across the affected region using an improved stochastic finite-fault method to systematically assess seismic impacts.Observed near-field recordings at MM.NGU station was used to determine the reliability of the theoretically derived stress drop as input for simulation.Far-field recordings constrained the frequency-dependent S-wave quality factors(Q(f)=283.305f^(0.588))for anelastic attenuation modeling.Comparisons of peak accelerations between simulation and empirical ground-motion models showed good agreement at moderate-to-large distances.However,lower near-fault simulations indicate a weaker-than-average source effect.Analysis of simulated instrumental seismic intensity revealed key patterns.Maximum intensity(Ⅹ)occurred in isolated patches within the ruptured fault projection,correlating with shallow high-slip areas.TheⅨ-intensity zone formed a north-south elongated band centered on fault projection.Significant asymmetry inⅧ-intensity distribution perpendicular to the fault strike was observed,with a wider western extension attributed to lower shear-wave velocities west of the fault.Supershear rupture behavior enhanced ground motions,expanding intensity ranges by~20%compared to sub-shear rupture.This study reveals the integrated effects of fault geometry,slip spatial distribution,rupture velocity,and site condition in governing ground motion patterns.

文摘Although the Chinese new-generation Fengyun-4B(FY-4B) geostationary satellite Atmospheric Motion Vector(AMV) products became operational in June 2022, their accuracy and utility remain largely unexamined. This study comprehensively evaluates FY-4B AMV products for August and October 2023, as well as January and April 2024,exploring their application in monitoring the South China Sea Summer Monsoon(SCSSM) onset. The results indicate that AMV products derived from the upper-level water vapor absorption channel(AMV_WV) and the infrared channel(AMV_IR) demonstrate high accuracy when compared with ERA5 reanalysis data. The root mean square error(RMSE) is mostly between 4.5 m s^(–1)and 6.4 m s^(–1), with coefficients of determination(R2) values ranging from 0.7 to 0.8, indicating the overall reliability of FY-4B AMVs. The observation errors of AMVs exhibit significant vertical structure characteristics. Specifically, the AMV_WV products demonstrate superior accuracy above 350 h Pa, while the AMV_IR products exhibit reduced errors in the layers between 200–500 h Pa and 700–950 h Pa. Spatially, most areas exhibit low observation errors for AMVs, while clear-sky weather and deep convective cloud systems can increase errors. A lack of clouds or water vapor may reduce the number of observation samples in some areas, leading to unstable RMSE performance, which is particularly evident for AMV_WV RMSE around 25°–30°N in January and near 25°S in August. Deep convective cloud systems can influence AMV retrieval results, leading to systematic observation errors, especially for the infrared channel.Additionally, AMV_WV is more reliable during the daytime, with a lower RMSE compared to nighttime, while AMV_IR exhibits a diverging diurnal variation pattern. Finally, the FY-4B AMV_WV products were applied to monitor the SCSSM event in 2024. Significant zonal wind direction reversal characteristics were observed in key regions around the onset date,indicating that AMVs can serve as effective indicators for monitoring the SCSSM onset.

文摘Motion intention recognition is considered the key technology for enhancing the training effectiveness of upper limb rehabilitation robots for stroke patients,but traditional recognition systems are difficult to simultaneously balance real-time performance and reliability.To achieve real-time and accurate upper limb motion intention recognition,a multi-modal fusion method based on surface electromyography(sEMG)signals and arrayed flexible thin-film pressure(AFTFP)sensors was proposed.Through experimental tests on 10 healthy subjects(5 males and 5 females,age 23±2 years),sEMG signals and human-machine interaction force(HMIF)signals were collected during elbow flexion,extension,and shoulder internal and external rotation.The AFTFP signals based on dynamic calibration compensation and the sEMG signals were processed for feature extraction and fusion,and the recognition performance of single signals and fused signals was compared using a support vector machine(SVM).The experimental results showed that the sEMG signals consistently appeared 175±25 ms earlier than the HMIF signals(p<0.01,paired t-test).In offline conditions,the recognition accuracy of the fused signals exceeded 99.77%across different time windows.Under a 0.1 s time window,the real-time recognition accuracy of the fused signals was 14.1%higher than that of the single sEMG signal,and the system’s end-to-end delay was reduced to less than 100 ms.The AFTFP sensor is applied to motion intention recognition for the first time.And its low-cost,high-density array design provided an innovative solution for rehabilitation robots.The findings demonstrate that the AFTFP sensor adopted in this study effectively enhances intention recognition performance.The fusion of its output HMIF signals with sEMG signals combines the advantages of both modalities,enabling real-time and accurate motion intention recognition.This provides efficient command output for human-machine interaction in scenarios such as stroke rehabilitation.

文摘Human motion modeling is a core technology in computer animation,game development,and humancomputer interaction.In particular,generating natural and coherent in-between motion using only the initial and terminal frames remains a fundamental yet unresolved challenge.Existing methods typically rely on dense keyframe inputs or complex prior structures,making it difficult to balance motion quality and plausibility under conditions such as sparse constraints,long-term dependencies,and diverse motion styles.To address this,we propose a motion generation framework based on a frequency-domain diffusion model,which aims to better model complex motion distributions and enhance generation stability under sparse conditions.Our method maps motion sequences to the frequency domain via the Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT),enabling more effective modeling of low-frequency motion structures while suppressing high-frequency noise.A denoising network based on self-attention is introduced to capture long-range temporal dependencies and improve global structural awareness.Additionally,a multi-objective loss function is employed to jointly optimize motion smoothness,pose diversity,and anatomical consistency,enhancing the realism and physical plausibility of the generated sequences.Comparative experiments on the Human3.6M and LaFAN1 datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches across multiple performance metrics,showing stronger capabilities in generating intermediate motion frames.This research offers a new perspective and methodology for human motion generation and holds promise for applications in character animation,game development,and virtual interaction.

文摘Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring,clinical diagnosis,and robotic applications.Nevertheless,it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility,adhesion,self-healing,and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics.Herein,we report a multifunctional,anti-freezing,selfadhesive,and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes(CoN CNT)embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin(PVA/GLE)matrix.Fabricated using a binary solvent system of water and ethylene glycol(EG),the CoN CNT/PVA/GLE organogel exhibits excellent flexibility,biocompatibility,and temperature tolerance with remarkable environmental stability.Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy confirms near-stable performance across a broad humidity range(40%-95%RH).Freeze-tolerant conductivity under sub-zero conditions(-20℃)is attributed to the synergistic role of CoN CNT and EG,preserving mobility and network integrity.The Co N CNT/PVA/GLE organogel sensor exhibits high sensitivity of 5.75 k Pa^(-1)in the detection range from 0 to 20 k Pa,ideal for subtle biomechanical motion detection.A smart human-machine interface for English letter recognition using deep learning achieved 98%accuracy.The organogel sensor utility was extended to detect human gestures like finger bending,wrist motion,and throat vibration during speech.

文摘Background Computed tomography(CT) and cone-beam computed tomography(CBCT) image registration play pivotal roles in computer-assisted navigation for orthopedic surgery. Traditional methods often apply uniform deformation models, neglecting the biomechanical differences between rigid structures and soft tissues, which compromises registration accuracy, especially during significant bone displacements. Method To address this issue, we introduce RE-Reg, a rigid-elastic CT-CBCT image registration framework that jointly learns rigid bone motion and soft tissue deformation. RE-Reg incorporates a rigid alignment(RA) module to estimate global bone motion and an elastic deformation(ED) module to model soft tissue deformation, preserving bony structures through bone shape preservation(BSP) loss. Result Our comprehensive evaluation on publicly available datasets demonstrates that RE-Reg significantly outperforms existing methods in terms of registration accuracy and rigid bone structure preservation, achieving a 1.3% improvement in Dice similarity coefficient(DSC) and a 23% reduction in rigid bone deformation(%Δvol) compared with the best baseline. Conclusion This framework not only enhances anatomical fidelity but also ensures biomechanical plausibility and provides a valuable tool for image-guided orthopedic surgery.

文摘In order to optimize the reaming process of the type IV composite hydrogen storage cylinder,the netting theory was employed for the design of stacking sequences,and the thickness in the head section was predicted.A finite element model of the plastic-lined composite hydrogen storage cylinder,designed to withstand a working pressure of 70.0 MPa,was established by using the wound composite modeler(WCM)in the Abaqus software to analyze the forces acting on the winding layer.The Hashin failure criterion was utilized as the standard for assessing composite failure,and a progressive failure analysis of the cylinder was conducted to predict both the bursting pressure and the failure location of the composite hydrogen storage cylinder.The results indicate that the reaming process can effectively reduce the maximum filament winding thickness in the head section and promote a more uniform transition.At the bursting pressure,the stress within the head liner decreases,thereby enhancing the ultimate bearing capacity of the cylinder.A control system for a four-axis winding machine was designed by utilizing an industrial computer and a programmable multi-axis controller(PMAC).The winding line pattern is designed and the G-code trajectory is generated by the industrial computer.The numerical control system,composed of the PMAC and servo motor,executes the four-axis interpolation motion.

文摘Next-generation fire safety systems demand precise detection and motion recognition of flames.In-sensor computing,which integrates sensing,memory,and processing capabilities,has emerged as a key technology in flame detection.However,the implementation of hardware-level functional demonstrations based on artificial vision systems in the solar-blind ultraviolet(UV)band(200-280 nm)is hindered by the weak detection capability.Here,we propose Ga_(2)O_(3)/In_(2)Se_(3) heterojunctions for the ferroelectric(abbreviation:Fe)optoelectronic sensor(abbreviation:OES)array(5×5 pixels),which is capable of ultraweak UV light detection with an ultrahigh detectivity through ferroelectric regulation and features in configurable multimode functionality.The Fe-OES array can directly sense different flame motions and simulate the non-spiking gradient neurons of insect visual system.Moreover,the flame signal can be effectively amplified in combination with leaky integration-and-fire neuron hardware.Using this Fe-OES system and neuromorphic hardware,we successfully demonstrate three flame processing tasks:achieving efficient flame detection across all time periods with terminal and cloud-based alarms;flame motion recognition with a lightweight convolutional neural network achieving 96.47%accuracy;and flame light recognition with 90.51%accuracy by means of a photosensitive artificial neural system.This work provides effective tools and approaches for addressing a variety of complex flame detection tasks.

文摘Soft-tissue motion introduces significant challenges in robotic teleoperation,especially in medical scenarios where precise target tracking is critical.Latency across sensing,computation,and actuation chains leads to degraded tracking performance,particularly around high-acceleration segments and trajectory inflection points.This study investigates machine learning-based predictive compensation for latency mitigation in soft-tissue tracking.Three models—autoregressive(AR),long short-term memory(LSTM),and temporal convolutional network(TCN)—were implemented and evaluated on both synthetic and real datasets.By aligning the prediction horizon with the end-to-end system delay,we demonstrate that prediction-based compensation significantly reduces tracking errors.Among the models,TCN achieved superior robustness and accuracy on complex motion patterns,particularly in multi-step prediction tasks,and exhibited better latency–horizon compatibility.The results suggest that TCN is a promising candidate for real-time latency compensation in teleoperated robotic systems involving dynamic soft-tissue interaction.
文摘[Objective]This study aims to investigate the multi-body hydrodynamic interaction mechanisms during offshore lifting operations of aquaculture net cages in wind-fishery integration systems.By integrating numerical simulations and dynamic analysis methods,this study systematically investigates the coupled dynamic response characteristics during the cage-carrier vessel separation process to reveal its dynamic evolution patterns and key influence mechanisms.[Method]Based on potential flow theory,a fully coupled dynamic analysis model of crane vessel-net cage-semi-submersible barge was established for a marine ranch project in Guangdong.The complete lifting process was dynamically simulated using SESAM software.Five typical operating sea states were configured to investigate the influence of wave parameters on the system's motion response under combined wave-current-wind actions.[Result]The results demonstrate that wave period dominates the system stability.Under short-period conditions,the system maintains stable motion with relatively small horizontal relative displacements,while long-period conditions excite low-frequency resonance,leading to significant slow-drift motions.Vertical response analysis reveals that long-period waves cause severe relative displacement fluctuations between the cage and semi-submersible vessel,with actual displacement amplitudes doubling the preset safety target of 2.045 m.Quantitative analysis further indicates that when significant wave height increases from 1.0 m to 1.5 m,the actual displacement amplitude increases by approximately 20%relative to the target displacement of 2.045 m,demonstrating that its influence is significantly weaker than the displacement variations induced by wave period changes.The complete dynamic simulation successfully captures the continuous dynamic response characteristics during the lifting process.[Conclusion]This research clarifies the influence mechanisms of wave parameters on the cage lifting process,identifying wave period as the crucial factor for operational safety.An operation window assessment method incorporating multi-body coupling effects is established,proposing a safety criterion with peak period not exceeding six seconds as the core requirement.The findings provide theoretical foundation for safe installation of marine ranch net cages and offer valuable references for similar offshore lifting operations.

文摘In Human–Robot Interaction(HRI),generating robot trajectories that accurately reflect user intentions while ensuring physical realism remains challenging,especially in unstructured environments.In this study,we develop a multimodal framework that integrates symbolic task reasoning with continuous trajectory generation.The approach employs transformer models and adversarial training to map high-level intent to robotic motion.Information from multiple data sources,such as voice traits,hand and body keypoints,visual observations,and recorded paths,is integrated simultaneously.These signals are mapped into a shared representation that supports interpretable reasoning while enabling smooth and realistic motion generation.Based on this design,two different learning strategies are investigated.In the first step,grammar-constrained Linear Temporal Logic(LTL)expressions are created from multimodal human inputs.These expressions are subsequently decoded into robot trajectories.The second method generates trajectories directly from symbolic intent and linguistic data,bypassing an intermediate logical representation.Transformer encoders combine multiple types of information,and autoregressive transformer decoders generate motion sequences.Adding smoothness and speed limits during training increases the likelihood of physical feasibility.To improve the realism and stability of the generated trajectories during training,an adversarial discriminator is also included to guide them toward the distribution of actual robot motion.Tests on the NATSGLD dataset indicate that the complete system exhibits stable training behaviour and performance.In normalised coordinates,the logic-based pipeline has an Average Displacement Error(ADE)of 0.040 and a Final Displacement Error(FDE)of 0.036.The adversarial generator makes substantially more progress,reducing ADE to 0.021 and FDE to 0.018.Visual examination confirms that the generated trajectories closely align with observed motion patterns while preserving smooth temporal dynamics.
文摘This research presents a Human Lower Limb Activity Recognition(HLLAR)system that identifies specific activities and predicts the angles of the knees simultaneously,based on the EMG signals.The HLLAR systems streamlines the research on the lower limb activities.The HILLAR model includes Discrete Hermite Wavelets Transform-based Synchrosqueezing(DHWTS),Deep Two-Layer Multiscale Convolutional Neural Network(DTLMCNN),and Generalized Regression Neural Network(GRNN)as feature extraction,activity recognition,and knee angle prediction respectively.Electromyography signal-based automatic lower limb activity detection is crucial to rehabilitation and human movement analysis.Yet several of these methods face issues in feature extraction in complex data,overlapping signals,extraction of crucial parameters,and adaptation constraints.This research aims classify lower limb activities and predict knee joint angles from electromy-ography signals using HILLAR model.The model is validated on two datasets,comprising 26 subjects performing three classes of activities:walking,standing,and sitting.The proposed model obtained a classification accuracy of 99.95%,along with significant achievements in precision(99.93%),recall(99.91%),and F1-score(99.93%).The generalized regression neural network predicted angles of the knee joint with a root mean squared error of 1.25%.Robustness is demonstrated through consistent results in five-fold cross-validation and statistical significance testing(p-value=0.004,McNemar's test).Additionally,the proposed model showed superior performance over baseline methods by reducing error rates by 18%and decreasing processing time to 0.98 s.

文摘The widely distributed loess deposits in the Yellow River Basin exhibit unique engineering geological characteristics.The variations in their thickness and stratigraphic structure significantly amplify ground motion parameters,directly influencing the regional seismic hazard risk level.This study methodically conducted on-site studies and observations of building collapses and damages resulting from seismic amplification effects,using the Wenchuan M_(S)8.0 earthquake as a case study.Comprehensive experimental and numerical simulation studies were carried out.A large-scale shaking table test was performed,and numerical models for 14 different loess sites types were established.Various types of seismic waves were incorporated into these models for systematic numerical simulation calculations.The research reveals the mechanisms by which loess deposit thickness and stratigraphic structure in the Yellow River Basin affect seismic ground motion amplification.The results indicate that as the epicentral distance increases,the peak ground motion shows a marked attenuation trend,with the horizontal component attenuating substantially faster than the vertical component.As the overlying loess layer thickness increases from 50 to 100 m,the seismic intensity may escalate by 3−4 degrees,and the peak acceleration may amplify by 1.5−2.2 times.With the augmentation of loess deposit thickness and the proliferation of soil layers,both the peak acceleration response spectrum and the characteristic period demonstrate an upward tendency,exhibiting slight fluctuations contingent upon the seismic wave type.

文摘The research findings on the ground motion and liquefaction potential analyses during the 2018 Great Indonesia Earthquake(M_(w)7.5)are significant and crucial.The earthquake triggered soil-structure damage due to liquefaction.This study,which thoroughly investigated four sites at Palu,was conducted by performing a comprehensive ground motion parameter analysis.The ground motion characteristics were presented and justified,particularly for the most impacted direction.Ground motion predictions were analysed to define the spectral accelerations,and matching spectral accelerations were conducted to produce ground motions for each site.Non-linear seismic ground response analysis based on the hyperbolic model of pressure pressure-dependent was performed to investigate cyclic soil behaviour.The results revealed that ground motion is crucial in significant soil damage,and the earthquake energy could trigger deep liquefaction.As the most significant ground motion,the vertical ground motion is essential in determining deep liquefaction.The discussion on the impact of liquefaction based on the results of the numerical analysis is presented.Significant ground motion with a longer duration could have a substantial impact on deep liquefaction in the study area.These findings depict how the 2018 Indonesia Earthquake(M_(w)7.5)triggered a mega-liquefaction in Palu City.The results could enhance the understanding of the importance of seismic hazard assessment.It is recommended that site investigation and soil improvement should be planned to counteract liquefaction damage before construction.This study also suggests conducting seismic hazard assessments for city development to minimise the potential disaster impact in the study area.

文摘Deep neural networks have achieved excellent classification results on several computer vision benchmarks.This has led to the popularity of machine learning as a service,where trained algorithms are hosted on the cloud and inference can be obtained on real-world data.In most applications,it is important to compress the vision data due to the enormous bandwidth and memory requirements.Video codecs exploit spatial and temporal correlations to achieve high compression ratios,but they are computationally expensive.This work computes the motion fields between consecutive frames to facilitate the efficient classification of videos.However,contrary to the normal practice of reconstructing the full-resolution frames through motion compensation,this work proposes to infer the class label from the block-based computed motion fields directly.Motion fields are a richer and more complex representation of motion vectors,where each motion vector carries the magnitude and direction information.This approach has two advantages:the cost of motion compensation and video decoding is avoided,and the dimensions of the input signal are highly reduced.This results in a shallower network for classification.The neural network can be trained using motion vectors in two ways:complex representations and magnitude-direction pairs.The proposed work trains a convolutional neural network on the direction and magnitude tensors of the motion fields.Our experimental results show 20×faster convergence during training,reduced overfitting,and accelerated inference on a hand gesture recognition dataset compared to full-resolution and downsampled frames.We validate the proposed methodology on the HGds dataset,achieving a testing accuracy of 99.21%,on the HMDB51 dataset,achieving 82.54%accuracy,and on the UCF101 dataset,achieving 97.13%accuracy,outperforming state-of-the-art methods in computational efficiency.

文摘The soft actuator is characterized by high safety,flexibility,and adaptability.It is capable of both active and passive defor-mations.This paper presents a discrete degree of freedom(DOF)method for soft actuators to reveal DOF characteristics.The method draws on the superposition mechanism of the deformation characteristics of the sarcomere in the skeletal muscles of living organisms.Firstly,the multi-DOF deformation characteristics of the soft actuator are discretized into superimposed combinations of single-DOF micro-units.Then,the soft actuator was determined to contain deformation characteristics such as extension-contraction,bending,and twisting.Eighteen types of micro-units with basic deforma-tion characteristics were obtained depending on the axis and orientation.Further,the mapping relationship between the combination of micro-units and the motion characteristics of the soft actuator based on the GF set theory was established.Finally,an active-passive DOF co-structured soft actuator(APCSA)was developed.The graphical approach analyzes the experimental results,and it can be concluded that active and passive DOFs can coexist in the composite deformation of the soft actuator.
