US Deterrence against Russia and China (based on strategic documents of J. Biden administration) by V. I. Batyuk

“…At the same time, the Biden administration’s approaches to building relations with Moscow are no less ideological than in the case of the PRC, which makes the prospects for resuming Russian-American (and ideally trilateral Russian-American-Chinese) negotiations on strategic arms control extremely vague. The question arises to what extent this ideologized foreign policy of the Biden administration meets the new international realities and the strategic interests of the United States itself.…”

A predefined-time radial basis function (RBF) neural network tracking control method considering actuator faults for a new type of spraying robot by J. Zhao, J. Zhao, Y. Li, Y. Li, Y. Li, B. Pei, Z. Yu, Z. Dong

“…Conventional control methods, such as sliding mode control (SMC) have difficulty meeting the accuracy requirements when the end of the attitude adjustment robotic arm control is spraying. Focusing on the problem of tracking control of a multi-joint robot with uncertain information, such as modeling uncertainty and random interference, a predefined-time radial basis function (RBF) neural network tracking control (PRC) method considering actuator fault is proposed for a new spraying robot. …”
