To enhance the position tracking performance of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) under unknown disturbances, this article proposes a fast fixed-time control strategy based on an improved nonlinear extended state observer (NESO). First, load disturbances and nonlinear friction are considered as lumped disturbance, for which an NESO is designed to estimate the lumped disturbance. The control parameters of the NESO are tuned online using a neural network optimization algorithm, eliminating the need for offline training. Then, a robust fixed-time sliding mode control method is proposed, based on an improved nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode manifold, which offers better convergence performance. The Lyapunov method is used to prove the fixed-time stability of the position tracking error system. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is validated on an experimental platform with PMSMs, and it is compared with other advanced fixed-time position control methods. The comparison results confirm that the proposed method exhibits superior control performance.

Driver attention recognition in driving scenarios is a popular direction in traffic scene perception technology. It aims to understand human driver attention to focus on specific targets/objects in the driving scene. However, traffic scenes contain not only a large amount of visual information but also semantic information related to driving tasks. Existing methods lack attention to the actual semantic information present in driving scenes. Additionally, the traffic scene is a complex and dynamic process that requires constant attention to objects related to the current driving task. Existing models, influenced by their foundational frameworks, tend to have large parameter counts and complex structures. Therefore, this paper proposes a real-time saliency Mamba network based on the latest Mamba framework. As shown in Figure 1, our model uses very few parameters (0.08M, only 0.09~11.16% of other models), while maintaining SOTA performance or achieving over 98% of the SOTA model's performance.
The quality of detected lane lines has a great influence on the driving decisions of unmanned vehicles. However, during the process of unmanned vehicle driving, the changes in the driving scene cause much trouble for lane detection algorithms. The unclear and occluded lane lines cannot be clearly detected by most existing lane detection models in many complex driving scenes, such as crowded scene, poor light condition, etc. In view of this, we propose a robust lane detection model using vertical spatial features and contextual driving information in complex driving scenes. The more effective use of contextual information and vertical spatial features enables the proposed model more robust detect unclear and occluded lane lines by two designed blocks: feature merging block and information exchange block. The feature merging block can provide increased contextual information to pass to the subsequent network, which enables the network to learn more feature details to help detect unclear lane lines. The information exchange block is a novel block that combines the advantages of spatial convolution and dilated convolution to enhance the process of information transfer between pixels. The addition of spatial information allows the network to better detect occluded lane lines. Experimental results show that our proposed model can detect lane lines more robustly and precisely than state-of-the-art models in a variety of complex driving scenarios.
