This study discusses a circular trajectory tracking function through a proposed pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM)-actuated robot manipulator. First, a dynamic model between a robot arm and a PAM cylinder is introduced. Then the parameters thereof are identified through a genetic algorithm (GA). Finally, PID is used along with a high-order sliding-mode feedback controller to perform circular trajectory tracking. As the experimental results show, the parameters of sampling time and moment of inertia are set to accomplish the trajectory tracking task in this study. In addition, the maximum error between the objective locus and the following locus was 11.3035 mm when applying theta-axis control to the circular trajectory of the robot arm with zero load or lower load. In an experiment of controller comparison, the results demonstrate that a high-order sliding-mode feedback controller is more robust in resisting external interference and the uncertainty of modeling, making the robot arm have good performance when tracking.

This study proposed the concept of sparse and low-rank matrix decomposition to address the need for aviator’s night vision goggles (NVG) automated inspection processes when inspecting equipment availability. First, the automation requirements include machinery and motor-driven focus knob of NVGs and image capture using cameras to achieve autofocus. Traditionally, passive autofocus involves first computing of sharpness of each frame and then use of a search algorithm to quickly find the sharpest focus. In this study, the concept of sparse and low-rank matrix decomposition was adopted to achieve autofocus calculation and image fusion. Image fusion can solve the multifocus problem caused by mechanism errors. Experimental results showed that the sharpest image frame and its nearby frame can be image-fused to resolve minor errors possibly arising from the image-capture mechanism. In this study, seven samples and 12 image-fusing indicators were employed to verify the image fusion based on variance calculated in a discrete cosine transform domain without consistency verification, with consistency verification, structure-aware image fusion, and the proposed image fusion method. Experimental results showed that the proposed method was superior to other methods and compared the autofocus put forth in this paper and the normalized gray-level variance sharpness results in the documents to verify accuracy.

In this study, a set of methods for the inspection of a working motor in real time was proposed. The aim was to determine if ball-bearing operation is normal or abnormal and to conduct an inspection in real time. The system consists of motor control and measurement systems. The motor control system provides a set fixed speed, and the measurement system uses an accelerometer to measure the vibration, and the collected signal data are sent to a PC for analysis. This paper gives the details of the decomposition of vibration signals, using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and computation of the features. It includes the classification of the features after analysis. Two major methods are used for the diagnosis of malfunction, the support vector machines (SVM) and general regression neural networks (GRNN). For visualization and to input the signals for visualization, they were input into a convolutional neural network (CNN) for further classification, as well as for the comparison of performance and results. Unique experimental processes were established with a particular hardware combination, and a comparison with commonly used methods was made. The results can be used for the design of a real-time motor that bears a diagnostic and malfunction warning system. This research establishes its own experimental process, according to the hardware combination and comparison of commonly used methods in research; a design for a real-time diagnosis of motor malfunction, as well as an early warning system, can be built thereupon.

Traditional network attack and hacking models are constantly evolving to keep pace with the rapid development of network technology. Advanced persistent threat (APT), usually organized by a hacker group, is a complex and targeted attack method. A long period of strategic planning and information search usually precedes an attack on a specific goal. Focus is on a targeted object and customized specific methods are used to launch the attack and obtain confidential information. This study offers an attack detection system that enables early discovery of the APT attack. The system uses the NSL-KDD database for attack detection and verification. The main method uses principal component analysis (PCA) for feature sampling and the enhancement of detection efficiency. The advantages and disadvantages of using the classifiers are then compared to detect the dataset, the classifier supports the vector machine, naive Bayes classification, the decision tree and neural networks. Results of the experiments show the support vector machine (SVM) to have the highest recognition rate, reaching 97.22% (for the trained subdata A). The purpose of this study was to establish an APT early warning model mechanism, that could be used to reduce the impact and influence of APT attacks.
