Partial-norm-constrained sparse recovery algorithm and its application on single carrier underwater-acoustic-data telemetry by Feiyun WU, Kunde YANG, Feng TONG

“…To solve the problem of single carrier underwater-acoustic-data telemetry,compressive sensing (CS) provides competitive performance of compression and recovery with low energy consumption.The primary objective of CS is to minimize the l₀norm,which is an NP hard problem.Hence,the common methods were transferred to minimize l₁norm.However,l₁norm minimization provided a limited accuracy.A partial-norm-constraint (PNC) based sparse signal recovery method was derived,which adopted PNC as a zero attraction in a Lagrange method,to distribute the soft threshold for the non-zero taps.The proposed method is used for at-sea data telemetry.Combining with DCT,the proposed method improves the recovery accuracy.…”

Research on Gait Planning of Quadruped Robot in Straight and Turning by Dan Wang, Deke Zhou, Jiaqi Yang

“…The concept of coordinated rotating gait is proposed and used it in in-situ turning. The common point of the foot trajectory of the straight gait and the turning gait on the spot is found， and then this point is used to realize the rapid migration of the gait and use it in the turning motion of the quadruped robot. …”
