The main feature of this method is that the global solution of the penalty function is not necessarily solved at each iteration, and under mild assumptions, the method is always feasible and efficient when the evaluation of the integral function is not very expensive. The global convergence property is obtained in the absence of any constraint qualifications, that is, any accumulation point of the sequence generated by the algorithm is the solution of the SIP. Moreover, the authors show a perturbation theorem of the method and obtain several interesting results. Furthermore, the authors show that all iterative points remain feasible after a finite number of iterations under the Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification. Finally, numerical results are given.展开更多

By leveraging the power of MIP solvers, we aimed to minimize the overall digitization time while considering various constraints and process dependencies. The book digitization process involves three key steps: cutting, scanning, and binding. Each step has specific requirements and limitations such as the number of pages that can be processed simultaneously and potential bottlenecks. To address these complexities, we formulate the problem as a one-machine job shop scheduling problem with additional constraints to capture the unique characteristics of book digitization. We conducted a series of experiments to evaluate the performance of our proposed approach. By comparing the optimized schedules with the baseline approach, we demonstrated significant reductions in the overall processing time. In addition, we analyzed the impact of different weighting schemes on the optimization results, highlighting the importance of identifying and prioritizing critical processes. Our findings suggest that MIP-based optimization can be a valuable tool for improving the efficiency of individual work schedules, even in seemingly simple tasks, such as book digitization. By carefully considering specific constraints and objectives, we can save time and leverage resources by carefully considering specific constraints and objectives.展开更多

SCI is a devastating medical condition that arises from trauma or disease-induced damage to the spinal cord, disrupting the neural connections that allow communication between the brain and the rest of the body, which results in varying degrees of motor and sensory impairment. Disconnection in the spinal tracts is an irreversible condition owing to the poor capacity for spontaneous axonal regeneration in the affected neurons.展开更多

Recent advancements in magneto-soft robots have demonstrated their abilities to achieve precise remote control through magnetic fields, enabling multi-modal locomotion and complex manipulation tasks. Nonetheless, two main hurdles must be overcome to advance the field: developing a multi-component substrate with embedded magnetic particles to ensure the requisite flexibility and responsiveness, and devising a cost-effective,straightforward method to program three-dimensional distributed magnetic domains without complex processing and expensive machinery. Here, we introduce a cost-effective and simple heat-assisted in-situ integrated molding fabrication method for creating magnetically driven soft robots with three-dimensional programmable magnetic domains. By synthesizing a composite material with neodymium-iron-boron(NdFeB) particles embedded in a polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) and Ecoflex matrix(PDMS:Ecoflex = 1:2 mass ratio, 50% magnetic particle concentration), we achieved an optimized balance of flexibility, strength, and magnetic responsiveness. The proposed heat-assisted in-situ magnetic domains programming technique,performed at an experimentally optimized temperature of 120℃, resulted in a 2 times magnetization strength(9.5 mT) compared to that at 20℃(4.8 m T), reaching a saturation level comparable to a commercial magnetizer. We demonstrated the versatility of our approach through the fabrication of six kinds of robots, including two kinds of two-dimensional patterned soft robots(2D-PSR), a circular six-pole domain distribution magnetic robot(2D-CSPDMR), a quadrupedal walking magnetic soft robot(QWMSR), an object manipulation robot(OMR), and a hollow thin-walled spherical magneto-soft robot(HTWSMSR). The proposed method provides a practical solution to create highly responsive and adaptable magneto-soft robots.展开更多

The proposed heat-assisted in-situ magnetic domains programming technique,performed at an experimentally optimized temperature of 120℃, resulted in a 2 times magnetization strength(9.5 mT) compared to that at 20℃(4.8 m T), reaching a saturation level comparable to a commercial magnetizer. We demonstrated the versatility of our approach through the fabrication of six kinds of robots, including two kinds of two-dimensional patterned soft robots(2D-PSR), a circular six-pole domain distribution magnetic robot(2D-CSPDMR), a quadrupedal walking magnetic soft robot(QWMSR), an object manipulation robot(OMR), and a hollow thin-walled spherical magneto-soft robot(HTWSMSR). The proposed method provides a practical solution to create highly responsive and adaptable magneto-soft robots.
