A Dynamic Territorializing Approach for Multiagent Task Allocation by Mohammad Islam, Mehdi Dadvar, Hassan Zargarzadeh

“…In this paper, we propose a dynamic territorializing approach for the problem of distributing tasks among a group of robots. We consider the scenario in which a task comprises two subtasks—detection and completion; two complementary teams of agents, hunters and gatherers, are assigned for the subtasks. …”

Force Tracking Control of Lower Extremity Exoskeleton Based on a New Recurrent Neural Network by Yuxuan Cao, Jie Chen, Li Gao, Jiqing Luo, Jinyun Pu, Shengli Song

“…It is difficult to develop a precise force tracking control approach for the exoskeleton because of the dynamics model uncertainty, external disturbances, and unknown human–robot interactive force lied in the system. In this paper, a control method based on a novel recurrent neural network, namely zeroing neural network (ZNN), is proposed to obtain the accurate force tracking. …”

Fusing Depth and Silhouette for Scanning Transparent Object with RGB-D Sensor by Yijun Ji, Qing Xia, Zhijiang Zhang

“…3D reconstruction based on structured light or laser scan has been widely used in industrial measurement, robot navigation, and virtual reality. However, most modern range sensors fail to scan transparent objects and some other special materials, of which the surface cannot reflect back the accurate depth because of the absorption and refraction of light. …”

Spectral Factor of Colored Solar Cells: A Case Study on the Main Urban Areas in Romania by Sergiu-Mihai Hategan, Marius Paulescu

“…The actual solar radiation spectrum is estimated with the simple Leckner spectral solar irradiance model, based on atmospheric parameters retrieved from the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). The results emphasize that the aesthetic of BIPV comes at a high energy cost: depending on the color, a coating applied on the surface of a crystalline silicon PV module may reduce its conversion efficiency even by half.…”
