Research on motion planning for an indoor spray arm based on an improved potential field method.

ABSTRACT: The target spraying effect of spray robots mainly depends on the control performance of the spraying arm during the processes of aiming and tracking. To further improve the robustness of the endpoint control and positioning accuracy of the spray arm, an improved potential field algorithm for the motion planning and control of the spray arm is proposed based on prophase research. The algorithm introduces a velocity potential field, visual field constraints and joint position limit constraints into the traditional artificial potential field method. The velocity potential field is used to ensure that the target state of the spraying arm is at the same velocity as the target crop (relative velocity) to achieve stable target tracking. The visual field constraints and joint position limit constraints are utilized to ensure the efficiency of the visual servo control and the movement of the spray arm. The algorithm can plan a feasible trajectory for the spraying arm in Cartesian space and image space, and use the speed controller to control the spraying arm movement along the trajectory for aiming and tracking. Simulation analysis shows that the algorithm can plan better motion trajectories than the servo controller based on image moments in previous studies. In addition, the experimental results show that the algorithm can effectively improve the robustness of targeting and tracking control for the spray robot.

Project description:Field-based data collection provides an extraordinary opportunity for comparative research. However, the demands of pursuing research away from home creates an expectation of unburdened individuals who have the temporal, financial, and social resources to conduct this work. Here we examine whether this myth of the socially unencumbered scholar contributes to the loss of professionals and trainees. To investigate this, we conducted an internet-based survey of professional and graduate student anthropologists (n = 1025) focused on the challenges and barriers associated with developing and maintaining a fieldwork-oriented career path and an active family life. This study sought to determine how (1) family socioeconomic status impacts becoming an anthropologist, (2) expectations of field-based research influence family planning, and (3) fieldwork experiences influence perceptions of family-career balance and stress. We found that most anthropologists and anthropology students come from educated households and that white men were significantly more likely to become tenured professionals than other demographic groups. The gender disparity is striking because a larger number of women are trained in anthropology and were more likely than men to report delaying parenthood to pursue their career. Furthermore, regardless of socioeconomic background, anthropologists reported significant lack of family-career balance and high stress associated with the profession. For professionals, lack of balance was most associated with gender, age, SES, tenure, and impacts of parenting on their career, while for students it was ethnicity, relative degree speed, graduate funding, employment status, total research conducted, career impact on family planning, and concern with tenure (p < .05). Anthropology bridges the sciences and humanities, making it the ideal discipline to initiate discussions on the embedded structural components of field-based careers generalizable across specialties.

Project description:Rotating machinery condition monitoring and fault diagnosis are important bases for maintenance decisions, as the vibrations generated during operation are usually imperceptible to the naked eye. Eulerian video motion magnification (EVMM) can reveal subtle changes and has been widely used in various fields such as medicine, structural analysis, and fault diagnosis, etc. However, the method has a bound relationship among three parameters: spatial wavelength, amplification factor, and displacement function, so it is necessary to adjust the parameters manually in practical applications. In this paper, on the basis of the original method, an automatic solution of spatial cutoff wavelength based on brightness is proposed. First, an input video is decomposed into image sequences, their RGB color spaces are transformed into HSV color spaces, and the Value channel image representing brightness is selected to automatically calculate the spatial cutoff frequency, and then the spatial cutoff wavelength is determined, and the motion magnification video in the specified frequency band is obtained by substituting it into the original method. Then, a publicly available video is taken as an example for simulation analysis. By comparing the time-brightness curves of the three videos (original video, motion magnification video obtained by the original method and the improved method), it is apparent that the proposed method exhibits the most significant brightness variation. Finally, taking an overhung rotor-bearing test device as the object, five conditions are set, respectively: normal, rotor unbalance, loosened anchor bolt of the bearing seat, compound fault, rotor misalignment. The proposed method is adopted to magnify the motion of the characteristic frequency bands including 1X frequency and 2X frequency. The results show that no obvious displacement is found in normal working conditions, and that the rotor unbalance fault has an overall axial shaking, the bearing seat at the loose place has an obvious vertical displacement, while the compound fault combines the both fault characteristics, and the rotor misalignment fault has an obvious axial displacement of the free-end bearing seat. The method proposed in this paper can automatically obtain the space cutoff wavelength, which solves the problem of defects arising from manually adjusting the parameters in the original method, and provides a new method for rotating machinery fault diagnosis and other fields of application.
