Application Of Improved Multi-Objective Differential Algorithm In Robotic Arm Multi-Objective Trajectory Planning, Manqiang Liu, Ziqiang Shang

Journal of System Simulation

It is difficult for single-objective trajectory planning methods to meet the requirements of precision, diversity and complexity of robotic arms. A trajectory planning model based on an improved multi-objective differential evolution algorithm (guided multi-objective differential evolution, GMODE) algorithm is proposed. Cubic polynomial interpolation and B-spline curves are employed to construct multi-objective functions, while GMODE is adopted to overcome the limitations of traditional algorithms, such as insufficient population diversity, the tendency to fall into local optima, and slow convergence. A grouping strategy, parameter generation mechanism, and elite mutation based on fuzzy Cmeans clustering are introduced to optimize B-spline control nodes. …

Robot Friction Force Compensation Algorithm Integrating Temperature And Speed Factors, Jinwang Lü, Ankai Ying, Ming Li, Tao Song, Jie Zhang, Fanghui Qiu, Changcheng Shi, Guokun Zuo, Jialin Xu

Journal of System Simulation

Insufficient friction force compensation accuracy degrades motion smoothness, stability, and assistive compliance of elbow joint rehabilitation robots. To address this issue, an improved Stribeck friction force model integrating temperature and speed factors was proposed. The model employed an exponentially decaying friction factor to describe the characteristic that the increase rate of friction force slowed down with the rise of the robot's operating speed and designed a viscous function considering temperature effects to suppress friction force fluctuations caused by temperature changes. Experimental results indicate that the model achieves stable friction force compensation under different operating states of the robot and has …

Current Status And Prospects Of Complex Scene Reconstruction Based On Gaussian Splatting, Hong'an Li, Jiale Yang, Qingfang Liu, Yu Shi

Journal of System Simulation

Three-dimensional Gaussian splatting (3DGS) provides an alternative approach for novel view synthesis from the perspective of explicit representation. By reconstructing scenes using 3D Gaussian primitives and replacing traditional ray integration with a point-based rasterization process, it not only improves training and rendering efficiency but also offers new insights for complex scene reconstruction. This paper divided 3DGS-based complex scene reconstruction methods into three major categories and elaborated on them around large-scale scenes, sparse views, and dynamic scenes. It reviewed the current development status of this field and pointed out possible future research directions.

Pattern Identification And Mechanism Analysis Of Nonlinear Oscillations In Grid-Connected Direct-Drive Wind Turbines, Libin Wen, Shaopu Tang, Xianfa Hu, Jinji Xi, Tongtong Zhang, Hong Hu, Weijie Zhang

Journal of System Simulation

Taking a grid-connected direct-drive wind turbine system as an example, a comprehensive model is developed that incorporates nonlinear elements such as prime mover control, machine-side and grid-side converter control, multiple limiters, and control switching. A nonlinear oscillation pattern identification method based on density clustering and manual identification is proposed. The results show that the proposed method can efficiently identify various typical patterns, including quasi-constant amplitude oscillations, period-doubling oscillations, and chaotic oscillations. Oscillations dominated by nonlinear factors such as control switching, limiter collision, and limiter saturation are essentially caused by the transition of the associated components from passive responses to …

Experimental And Simulation Study On Energy Release Of Extended Sources Influenced By Atmospheric Pressure Variation, Kai Guo, Feiyu Zhao, Hao Zhang, Liang Wang, Kai Zhang

Journal of System Simulation

To investigate the energy release characteristics of extended sources in low-pressure environments, a combined experiment and simulation approach was adopted. Four typical altitudecorresponding pressures were selected as experimental conditions. An infrared thermal imager was employed to monitor parameters such as combustion temperature, radiance, and combustion area during the combustion process of the extended source. When the pressure decreases from 101 kPa to 30 kPa, the ignition time of the extended source doubles; the total energy release attenuates by 44.78%, and the combustion area reduces by 45.95%, but the fluctuations of peak temperature and average temperature are less than 3%, …

Object Detection Networks And Their Interpretability In Rain, Fog, And Snow Scenarios, Yanji Jiang, Jiayu Cui, Hao Dong, Daqian Liu, Bowen Fei, Miao Yu, Jinshan Huang

Journal of System Simulation

To address the severe degradation of object detection performance under extreme weather conditions, a detection framework based on the Kolmogorov-Arnold theorem, termed KADet, is proposed. A dynamic Kolmogorov-Arnold Transformer is designed, which leverages learnable nonlinear activation functions to enhance the modeling capability for complex distortions introduced by weather degradation. A Kolmogorov-Arnold spatial-channel network is developed by integrating KAT convolution with spatial-channel convolution to strengthen feature learning of relationships between targets and backgrounds in degraded scenes. An improved loss function is introduced to guide the optimization of the activation functions, and interpretability is analyzed through visualization of their curves. …

Building Trustworthy Information Systems: A Unified Framework For Comparative Risk Detection, Parisa Momeni

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Risk detection in large scale information systems increasingly depends on heterogeneous data generatedby both centralized and distributed ecosystems. While centralized systems provide curated and validated reports, distributed environments produce large-scale and real-time observational evidence. Existing computational approaches analyze these ecosystems in isolation, limiting systematic comparison of risk repre-sentations across heterogeneous sources.

This dissertation presents a unified computational framework for comparative risk detection across centralized and distributed information systems. The framework provides a domain independent methodology for transforming heterogeneous risk reporting data into comparable multidimensional representations. To enable interpretable comparison of heterogeneous risk distributions, this work introduces the Geometric Overlap Score …

Seeing Around Corners: An Indirect Light Transport Decomposition Framework For Fusing Physics And Learned Priors, Fadlullah Raji

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging, or seeing around corners, is the ability to recover information about objects hidden from direct view and remains one of the most compelling challenges in computational imaging. Existing approaches fall broadly into two categories: active and passive. Active time-resolved methods achieve impressive performance but require specialized pulsed laser hardware and ultrafast detectors, making them expensive and limited by slow measurement acquisition. Passive NLOS methods, which instead exploit the subtle soft shadows (penumbrae) cast by a hidden scene onto a visible matte surface, have recently emerged as a practical alternative. However, existing passive approaches are largely limited to …

In this dissertation, I evaluate A.I. and A.I.-based artifacts through the lens of the fitness-utility model, a tool developed by Gill and Hevner (2013) for the evaluation of an artifact's ability to survive and reproduce over long time horizons. In so doing, I also …

Non-Euclidean Geometries And Fairness Constraints In Advanced Clustering, Arnab Seal

Master’s Dissertations

A fundamental challenge in modern unsupervised learning is adapting classical clustering algorithms to handle complex, real-world data constraints. Traditional models often assume data resides in a flat, Euclidean space and optimize strictly for cluster cohesion, thereby failing to capture intrinsic hierarchical structures and ignoring sociotechnical demographic biases. This thesis addresses these critical limitations by extending generalized mean-shift dynamics into two novel clustering frameworks. First, to natively accommodate data with tree-like structures (e.g., taxonomies and social networks), we propose Hyperbolic Gaussian Blurring Mean Shift (HypeGBMS). By projecting data into the Poincar´e ball model and utilizing M¨obius vector space operations, HypeGBMS successfully …

Leveraging Spatial Statistics For Domain Adaptation Of Vision Language Models In Medical Vqa, Himanshu Raj

Master’s Dissertations

Recent advances in Vision–Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated strong performance in Medical Visual Question Answering (Medical VQA) task. Although they perform very well within their domains, these models often experience issues with their generalization ability on unknown clinical distribution data because of different imaging technologies and patient groups used in various medical facilities. Generalization problems faced by these models make their practical application in the field of VLM-based medical VQA systems rather difficult. To overcome this limitation we proposed our method named Spatial Semantics Aware Domain Adaptation (SSADA), which is an integrated framework that combines both finetuning and prompt-based in-context …

Predictive Importance Sampling Based Coverage Verification For Multi Uav Trajectory Planning, Snehashish Ghosh

Master’s Dissertations

In next-generation wireless networks, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks are emerging as a promising solution for ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). A key challenge in millimeter-wave UAV networks is ensuring that mobile users are always in line-of-sight (LoS) coverage, since the current snapshot-based trajectory planning approach does not consider the mobility of the users during the decision interval, resulting in disastrous LoS gaps. For continuous coverage verification, standard uniform sampling is too computationally expensive, as it would need a large number of samples to estimate rare failure events that have latencies that are not suitable for real-time requirements. In this work, …
