End Pose Compensation System of Spraying Robots Based on Unscented Kalman Filter Algorithm by Ding Jiang, Cui Jiaxu, Zuo Qiyang, Chen Hailun, Zhou Wei, He Kai

“…In order to compensate the posture error of the spraying fixture relative to the wall, a multi-sensor fusion method is proposed based on the unscented Kalman filter to compensate the posture of the spraying fixture.The state equation of the fixture posture is constructed from the data measured by the displacement measurement sensor， the equation of fixture posture measurement is constructed from the data measured by the gyroscope, and the optimal estimation of the fixture posture is obtained by using the unscented Kalman filter algorithm and transferring them to the robot, so as to achieve the purpose of compensating the posture error of the spraying fixture. Finally, the experimental platform is built to verify the feasibility of the error compensation system. …”

Time, Infrastructure and Knowledge: Rethinking Temporality in the Anthropocene by Vando Borghi, Luigi Pellizzoni, Paolo Savoia

“…Addressing the concept of “non-trivial futures”, he argues that the Anthropocene aligns with and strengthens capitalism’s recursive temporality and secular eschatology, opening space for conservative or reactionary designs. Finally, Paolo Savoia traces a “revival” of natural history in the environmental humanities, enabled by temporal short-circuits between the 16th and 21st centuries. …”

Algebraic fault attack on PRESENT by Ke-hui WU, Xin-jie ZHAO, Tao WANG, Shi-ze GUO, Hui-ying LIU

“…A new fault analysis method on PRESENT—algebraic fault attack was proposed.This attack combined conventional algebraic cryptanalysis with fault attack,firstly built equivalent Boolean algebraic equations of cipher encryption by algebraic cryptanalysis method; secondly got information of fault cryptograph by fault attack technique,and transformed differential of fault and cryptograph into additional algebraic equations; finally utilized Crypto Mini SAT solver to solve the equations and recover key.Experiments demonstrate that after injecting 4-bit fault to the 29^th round of PRESENT-80,the fault location and fault value are unknown,only 2 injectings can recover 64-bit last whitening key in 50 seconds that reduce master key of PRESENT-80 searching space to 2¹⁶,then recover the master key after 1 minute brute-force-search on average; compared with previous fault attack on PRESENT,the amount of this attack sample is the smallest;meanwhile,the analysis method proposed can be applied into the algebraic fault attack of other block ciphers.…”
