Intelligent fruit-picking robots have emerged as a promising solution to labor shortages and the increasing costs of manual harvesting. This review provides a systematic and critical overview of recent advances in three core domains: (i) vision-based fruit and peduncle detection, (ii) motion planning and obstacle-aware navigation, and (iii) robotic manipulation technologies for diverse fruit types. We summarize the evolution of deep learning-based perception models, highlighting improvements in occlusion robustness, 3D localization accuracy, and real-time performance. Various planning frameworks—from classical search algorithms to optimization-driven and swarm-intelligent methods—are compared in terms of efficiency and adaptability in unstructured orchard environments. Developments in multi-DOF manipulators, soft and adaptive grippers, and end-effector control strategies are also examined. Despite these advances, critical challenges remain, including heavy dependence on large annotated datasets; sensitivity to illumination and foliage occlusion; limited generalization across fruit varieties; and the difficulty of integrating perception, planning, and manipulation into reliable field-ready systems. Finally, this review outlines emerging research trends such as lightweight multimodal networks, deformable-object manipulation, embodied intelligence, and system-level optimization, offering a forward-looking perspective for autonomous harvesting technologies.

Amid the exponential growth of streaming data and rising demands for real-time decision-making, Online Convex Optimization (OCO) has emerged as a foundational framework for sequential data processing in dynamic environments. This survey presents a systematic review of recent evolutionary and adaptive OCO strategies, offering a detailed taxonomy that classifies algorithms according to their constraint-handling mechanisms and environmental feedback. The analysis first examines Constrained OCO, elucidating the trade-offs between computational efficiency and theoretical guarantees across projection-based methods, projection-free Frank–Wolfe variants, and general convex optimization approaches. It then explores the Unconstrained OCO landscape, emphasizing the shift from parameter-dependent methods to fully adaptive, parameter-free algorithms capable of handling unknown comparator norms and gradient scales. Furthermore, the study synthesizes state-of-the-art applications in power systems, network communication, and quantitative finance, bridging theoretical OCO models with robust engineering solutions. The paper concludes by outlining critical open challenges and future research directions, such as the integration of OCO with deep learning, non-convex optimization, and robustness against adversarial corruptions in data-intensive scenarios.

Transformer is one of the important electrical equipment in power system. Its running state directly affects safe operation of the system. Transformer fault prediction and intelligent early warning are the basis for ensuring normal operation and maintenance of the system. In view of transformer differentiation and the scarcity of fault data, an intelligent transformer warning model based on data-driven bagging decision tree is proposed. A standardized early warning method is proposed based on different transformer equipment condition, and data-driven feature selection for tradeoff is carried out, which provides previous stage knowledge for fault diagnosis. Assessment results depending on fault datasets from State Grid Corporation of China demonstrate that the proposed model can provide a higher accuracy prediction compared to several other prediction models including neural network, KNN, SVM, Linear Discriminant and Logistic Regression, which could bring additional economic benefits and extensive social advantages.
