Multistage bayesian autonomy for high‐precision operation in a large field

This paper presents a generalized multistage bayesian framework to enable an autonomous robot to complete high‐precision operations on a static target in a large field. The proposed framework consists of two multistage approaches, capable of dealing with the complexity of high‐precision operation in a large field to detect and localize the target. In the multistage localization, locations of the robot and the target are estimated sequentially when the target is far away from the robot, whereas these locations are estimated simultaneously when the target is close. A level of confidence (LOC) for each detection criterion of a sensor and the associated probability of detection (POD) of the sensor are defined to make the target detectable with different LOCs at varying distances. Differential entropies of the robot and target are used as a precision metric for evaluating the performance of the proposed approach. The proposed multistage observation and localization approaches were applied to scenarios using an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Results with the UGV in simulated environments and then real environments show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches to real‐world problems. A successful demonstration using the UAV is also presented.

Improved protein resistance of silicone hydrogels by grafting short peptides for ophthalmological application

A simple and facile approach to impart the antifouling properties of silicone hydrogels was developed in this report. Short peptides were first tethered to silicone hydrogels through terminal amino group-induced epoxy ring-opening click reaction. The modified silicone hydrogels have improved hydrophilicity and protein adsorption resistance because of the formation of zwitterionic structure of the grafted peptides. Furthermore, glycylglycine and diglycyl glycine-modified silicone hydrogel contact lenses were fabricated. They exhibited favorable antifouling property and no damage to rabbits’ eyes after continuous wearing. The short peptide modified silicone hydrogel contact lenses have potential application in ophthalmology.

A Molecular Dynamics and Lattice Boltzmann Multiscale Simulation for Dense Fluid Flows

A molecular dynamics (MD)-lattice Boltzmann (LB) hybrid scheme has been adopted to simulate dense fluid flows. Based on the domain decomposition method and the Schwarz alternating scheme, the “Maxwell Demon” approach is used to impose boundary conditions from the continuum to the atomistic region, while the “reconstruction operator” is implemented to construct the single-particle distribution function of the LB method from the results of the MD simulation. Couette flows and the flow of a dense fluid argon around a carbon nanotube (CNT) are solved to validate the hybrid method. When the mesh of the LB domain is refined and the size of corresponding sampling cells of the MD domain is reduced, the fluctuations of the results between two successive iterations of the hybrid method become more severe, although the results get closer to the MD reference solutions. To decrease the fluctuation due to the mesh refinement, a new weighting function is proposed for the sampling of MD simulation results. Numerical practice demonstrates its feasibility.

基于级联多电平的有源滤波器直流侧电压平衡控制

为了减小电网中非线性负载带来的谐波电流对电网质量的影响,针对基于H桥的有源滤波器装置中直流电容电压问题,提出一种新的控制方法。将控制模块分成模块均值电压控制器和直流母线电压控制器两个部分,通过调节每个H桥之间的有功功率交换和有源滤波器同电网间有功功率的交换来实现直流电容电压的平衡控制。利用该方法对八个单元H桥级联的并联型有源滤波装置进行Matlab/Simulink仿真,并基于FPGA+DSP实验平台搭建了三单元H桥级联样机。仿真和实验结果表明,基于级联多电平的有源滤波器直流侧电压平衡控制方法是有效和实用的。
