Using optimal assembly relationships, companies can enhance product quality without significantly increasing production costs. However, predicting Assembly Geometric Errors presents a challenging real-world problem in the manufacturing domain. To address this challenge, this paper introduces a highly efficient Transformer-based neural network model known as Predicting Assembly Geometric Errors based on Transformer (PAGEformer). This model accurately captures long-range assembly relationships and predicts final assembly errors. The proposed model incorporates two unique features: firstly, an enhanced self-attention mechanism to more effectively handle long-range dependencies, and secondly, the generation of positional information regarding gaps and fillings to better capture assembly relationships. This paper collected actual assembly data for folding rudder blades for unmanned aerial vehicles and established a Mechanical Assembly Relationship Dataset (MARD) for a comparative study. To further illustrate PAGEformer performance, we conducted extensive testing on a large-scale dataset and performed ablation experiments. The experimental results demonstrated a 15.3% improvement in PAGEformer accuracy compared to ARIMA on the MARD. On the ETH, Weather, and ECL open datasets, PAGEformer accuracy increased by 15.17%, 17.17%, and 9.5%, respectively, compared to the mainstream neural network models.

Despite significant advancements in communication systems, inherent limitations persist in providing reliable data transmission for emerging applications with massive data exchanges. Semantic communication offers promising solutions by extracting and transmitting meaningful information rather than raw bit sequences. However, it faces challenges from high mobility and dynamic channel conditions in wireless environments. In this paper, we design a ground-to-air network architecture that integrates a rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and ground terminals to maximize semantic transmission efficiency while maintaining low energy consumption. This approach leverages the high mobility of the UAV for flexible deployment and the data reduction capabilities of semantic communication. Therefore, we formulate a multi-objective optimization problem to simultaneously balance the total semantic transmission rate and the UAV propulsion energy consumption by jointly optimizing the UAV hovering position, semantic encoding lengths, and resource block (RB) allocation. The problem is complex, with mixed continuous and discrete variables, which necessitates an advanced optimization method. To address these challenges, we propose a novel greedy-enhanced adaptive multi-objective cellular genetic algorithm (GEAMOCell), which utilizes an adaptive neighborhood selection mechanism to balance exploration and exploitation, and employs a crowding-guided archive feedback mechanism to maintain population diversity. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed GEAMOCell algorithm outperforms baseline algorithms in terms of convergence, semantic transmission rate, and energy efficiency.
