摘要This review examines current approaches to real-time decision-making and task optimization in Internet of Things systems through the application of machine learning models deployed at the network edge.Existing literature shows that edge-based distributed intelligence reduces cloud dependency.It addresses transmission latency,device energy use,and bandwidth limits.Recent optimization strategies employ dynamic task offloading mechanisms to determine optimal workload placement across local devices and edge servers without centralized coordination.Empirical findings from the literature indicate performance improvements with latency reductions of approximately 32.8%and energy efficiency gains of 27.4%compared to conventional cloud-centric models.However,critical gaps remain in current methodologies.Most studies focus on static network topologies and do not adequately address load balancing across multiple edge nodes.Security vulnerabilities during task transmission are underexplored,and privacy considerations for sensitive data remain insufficiently integrated into existing frameworks.Task caching strategies and fault tolerance mechanisms require further investigation in highly dynamic environments.The ability of existing approaches to handle large-scale deployments and complex edge-cloud collaborative scenarios has not been thoroughly validated.This review synthesizes current progress while identifying fundamental challenges that must be resolved for practical deployment in time-sensitive applications spanning smart manufacturing,autonomous systems,and healthcare monitoring.Future work should prioritize robust security integration,efficient load distribution,and scalability across heterogeneous edge infrastructures.

摘要Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAVs)are increasingly deployed across military and civilian domains due to their operational flexibility,low maintenance costs,and high mobility.With the growing complexity of UAV applications and tasks,robust support from computing power networks is essential.These networks,acting as resource integration paradigms,furnish UAVs with pooled resources to tackle extensive computational demands.In this paper,we develop a framework for trading computing power resources,modeling the transaction process through a three-stage Stackelberg game to facilitate sequential decision-making.We theoretically demonstrate the existence of a Nash equilibrium and introduce a Dynamic Game Reinforcement algorithm to identify optimal strategies.Our experimental results affirm the framework's efficacy and the superior performance of our algorithm.Additionally,we explore how variables like UAV quantity and network congestion influence the market dynamics of the computing power network.

摘要Organic electrochemical transistor(OECT)devices demonstrate great promising potential for reservoir computing(RC)systems,but their lack of tunable dynamic characteristics limits their application in multi-temporal scale tasks.In this study,we report an OECT-based neuromorphic device with tunable relaxation time(τ)by introducing an additional vertical back-gate electrode into a planar structure.The dual-gate design enablesτreconfiguration from 93 to 541 ms.The tunable relaxation behaviors can be attributed to the combined effects of planar-gate induced electrochemical doping and back-gateinduced electrostatic coupling,as verified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis.Furthermore,we used theτ-tunable OECT devices as physical reservoirs in the RC system for intelligent driving trajectory prediction,achieving a significant improvement in prediction accuracy from below 69%to 99%.The results demonstrate that theτ-tunable OECT shows a promising candidate for multi-temporal scale neuromorphic computing applications.

摘要Parallel robotic mechanisms using cables instead of rigid limbs are termed cable-driven parallel robots(CDPRs).Electric motors and pulley mechanisms actuate cables to provide motion for an end-effector in a cable robot.Consequently,CDPRs have emerged as indispensable tools across a spectrum of industrial and technological domains,including astronomy,aerospace,logistics,simulators,and rehabilitation.Their inherent compatibility with the evolving concept of rigid-flexible fusion places CDPRs at the forefront of cutting-edge robotics research.This comprehensive paper aims to consolidate the core theories and advancements underpinning CDPRs,en-compassing key aspects such as configuration design,cable-force distribution,workspace and stiffness analysis,performance evaluation,optimisation techniques,and motion control.We provide in-depth insights into kine-matic modelling,workspace exploration,and cable-force solutions.Furthermore,the paper delves into the in-tricacies of stiffness and dynamic modelling,presenting a range of analytical methods to elucidate their effects on CDPR performance.Addressing reliability concerns and developing a unified control framework are identified as essential in ensuring the practical deployment of CDPRs in real-world scenarios.This research paper offers a comprehensive overview of the theories and advancements in CDPRs,identifying critical areas for further re-search and development to unlock the full potential of these versatile and high-performance robotic systems.

摘要Being renewable and readily available,solar energy has gained significant attention in addressing the global energy crisis and climate change.The efficiency of solar-energy harvesting using a concentrator depends on the angle between the incident sunlight and the solar concentrator.Therefore,a solar-energy collection system equipped with a solar tracker that follows the apparent motion of the sun offers the highest collection efficiency.In this study,a novel solar tracker with a parallel mechanism is proposed based on the line graph method.The proposed parallel solar tracker(PST) features a main column with passive movements and two UPU chains that share a common constraint.This design enhances the rotational workspace,stiffness,and load-bearing capacity of the system.To solve the forward kinematics problem of the PST efficiently and accurately,a geometric elimination method is employed,converting the three-dimensional kinematics into a simpler planar problem.This allows the forward kinematics problem to be solved analytically using planar equations.By considering key performance indices,such as the effective workspace,transmission,and manipulability,the structural parameters of the PST are optimized in two steps,thereby identifying the optimal region in the design space.Finally,the computational efficiency and accuracy of both the forward and inverse kinematic solutions for the PST with optimized structural parameters are validated,demonstrating their potential for use in real-time control systems.The proposed novel solar tracker has high stiffness and load-bearing capacity.The study provides a solid foundation for improving the efficiency of solar energy utilization.

摘要Parallel machining robot is a new type of robotized equipment for high-efficiency machining structural com-ponents with complex geometries.Terminal rigidity is of great importance index for such type of equipment,which affects their load capacity and working accuracy.Before a parallel machining robot can be used for heavy-load and high-efficiency machining,its terminal rigidity should be evaluated systematically.The present study is to quantitatively reveal the stiffness properties of a previously invented Z4 redundantly actuated parallel ma-chining robot(RAPMR).For this purpose,two critical issues,i.e.,stiffness modelling and index construction,are clarified to carry out stiffness evaluation of the Z4 RAPMR.Firstly,drawing on the screw theory,a semi-analytic stiffness model of the proposed RAPMR is established at a component level.Secondly,a set of virtual work-based stiffness indices is constructed to evaluate the terminal rigidity of parallel robots.Those indices have a consistent physical unit in describing linear and angular terminal rigidity.With these indices,the local and the global stiffness performance of the Z4 RAPMR are predicted.Thirdly,a laboratory prototype of the proposed RAPMR is fabricated.And the experimental test is performed to verify the correctness of the established stiffness model.The present work is expected to provide fundamental information for further light-weight design and rigidity enhancement.

摘要Neuromorphic devices have garnered significant attention as potential building blocks for energy-efficient hardware systems owing to their capacity to emulate the computational efficiency of the brain.In this regard,reservoir computing(RC)framework,which leverages straightforward training methods and efficient temporal signal processing,has emerged as a promising scheme.While various physical reservoir devices,including ferroelectric,optoelectronic,and memristor-based systems,have been demonstrated,many still face challenges related to compatibility with mainstream complementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS)integration processes.This study introduced a silicon-based schottky barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor(SB-MOSFET),which was fabricated under low thermal budget and compatible with back-end-of-line(BEOL).The device demonstrated short-term memory characteristics,facilitated by the modulation of schottky barriers and charge trapping.Utilizing these characteristics,a RC system for temporal data processing was constructed,and its performance was validated in a 5×4 digital classification task,achieving an accuracy exceeding 98%after 50 training epochs.Furthermore,the system successfully processed temporal signal in waveform classification and prediction tasks using time-division multiplexing.Overall,the SB-MOSFET's high compatibility with CMOS technology provides substantial advantages for large-scale integration,enabling the development of energy-efficient reservoir computing hardware.
