SAC-Based Gait Generation and Robust Balance Control for Cassie Robots in Unknown Terrain
type: item
description: The development of robust locomotion strategies for bipedal robots remains a significant challenge in robotics, particularly when navigating unstructured and unknown environments. The Cassie robot, a dynamic bipedal platform with high degrees of freedom and underactuated passive dynamics, presents specific control difficulties that classical model-based approaches often fail to address adequately due to modeling mismatches and computational latency. This paper proposes a novel framework utilizing Soft Actor-Critic (SAC), an off-policy deep reinforcement learning algorithm, to generate stable gait patterns and ensure robust balance control. Unlike standard on-policy methods, SAC optimizes a maximum entropy objective, which encourages substantial exploration and provides greater robustness to external disturbances. We introduce a comprehensive reward function design and a domain randomization strategy that enables the policy to generalize across varying terrain irregularities without requiring exteroceptive mapping during the training phase. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that the proposed SAC-based controller outperforms baseline algorithms in terms of convergence speed, energy efficiency, and stability on uneven terrain. The learned policy exhibits emergent behaviors capable of recovering from significant perturbations, suggesting a promising pathway for deploying autonomous bipedal systems in real-world scenarios.

Anti-Interference Adaptive Admittance Control for Collaborative Robots Considering Friction Compensation
type: item
description: The widespread integration of collaborative robots, or cobots, into unstructured industrial environments necessitates control strategies that ensure both high precision and compliant physical human-robot interaction. Traditional fixed-parameter admittance control schemes often fail to maintain stability and performance when subjected to varying environmental stiffness, non-linear friction disturbances, and external interference. This paper proposes a novel anti-interference adaptive admittance control framework designed to enhance the transparency and robustness of collaborative manipulation. The proposed method integrates a variable admittance law with a high-order disturbance observer to estimate and reject lumped disturbances, including unmodeled dynamics and external shocks. Furthermore, a dynamic friction compensation strategy based on the LuGre model is incorporated to mitigate the stick-slip phenomena and hysteresis effects that degrade low-velocity tracking accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed control architecture significantly reduces position tracking error and interaction force oscillation compared to conventional methods. The system exhibits superior adaptability to unknown environmental changes and effectively suppresses interference, thereby ensuring safe and smooth collaborative operations.

Closed-Loop Deformation Control of Soft Manipulators for Fruit Harvesting Fusing Tactile and Depth Vision
type: item
description: The automation of agricultural harvesting presents a distinct set of challenges, primarily driven by the unstructured nature of the environment and the biological variability of the produce. Soft robotics has emerged as a promising avenue for handling delicate crops such as tomatoes, apples, and strawberries due to the inherent compliance of the materials used. However, the non-linear deformation characteristics of soft actuators make precise control difficult, often leading to either insufficient grasping force or damage to the fruit. This paper introduces a novel closed-loop deformation control framework that fuses depth vision with distributed tactile sensing to enhance the grasping efficacy of pneumatically actuated soft manipulators. By utilizing a depth camera to generate a preliminary volumetric estimation of the target and integrating real-time feedback from capacitive tactile sensors embedded within the gripper fingers, the system dynamically adjusts the internal pneumatic pressure to optimize the contact profile. We employ a sensor fusion algorithm that mitigates the limitations of individual modalities, such as visual occlusion and tactile sparsity. Experimental validation demonstrates that this multi-modal approach significantly reduces surface bruising on harvested fruits while maintaining a high success rate in detachment. The results indicate that fusing tactile and visual data allows for robust compensation of mechanical hysteresis and external disturbances, marking a substantial advancement in autonomous harvesting technologies.

Resource-Constrained Secure Graph Neural Clustering for Industrial Manufacturing
type: item
description: Industrial manufacturing systems increasingly rely on graph-structured data derived from machines, sensors, and operational technology (OT) networks to support monitoring, optimisation, and anomaly analysis. However, deploying graph neural network (GNN)–based clustering methods in such environments is challenging due to strict resource constraints on edge and control hardware, as well as heightened security risks arising from compromised or noisy nodes. Existing graph clustering approaches typically assume abundant computational resources and benign data conditions, limiting their applicability in real-world industrial settings. In this work, we propose a resource-constrained secure graph neural clustering framework tailored for industrial manufacturing systems. The proposed method integrates lightweight graph neural representations with security-aware constraints that mitigate the influence of adversarial perturbations, faulty devices, and unreliable communication links. By explicitly accounting for memory, computation, and latency limitations, the framework enables stable and efficient clustering on OT-grade hardware without sacrificing robustness. Extensive experiments on industrial-style graph datasets demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves competitive clustering quality while significantly improving resilience under resource scarcity and security stress. The results highlight the practicality of secure GNN-based clustering for deployment in real manufacturing environments, bridging the gap between advanced graph learning techniques and operationally constrained industrial systems.

A Foundation Model for Sensor Data with Prompt-Based Adaptation Across Machines and Plants
type: item
description: The proliferation of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices has generated vast quantities of high-frequency sensor data, yet the effective utilization of this data remains hindered by the heterogeneity of machinery and the variability of operating environments. Traditional deep learning approaches typically require training specialized models for specific assets, a process that is computationally expensive and scales poorly across diverse manufacturing plants. This paper introduces Sensor-FM, a foundation model architecture designed for general-purpose representation learning on industrial time-series data. Unlike conventional transfer learning methods that rely on extensive fine-tuning of model weights, Sensor-FM utilizes a prompt-based adaptation mechanism. By injecting learnable, context-specific vectors into the frozen pre-trained transformer latent space, the model adapts to novel machines and distinct plant environments with minimal data requirements. We demonstrate that this parameter-efficient approach achieves state-of-the-art performance in anomaly detection and remaining useful life (RUL) estimation tasks. Experimental results indicate that prompt tuning requires less than 1% of the trainable parameters compared to full model fine-tuning while exhibiting superior robustness against domain shifts caused by operational discrepancies. Our findings suggest a paradigm shift in industrial AI, moving from bespoke modeling to a centralized, adaptable foundation approach.

Neural Operator Learning for Fast Surrogate Modeling of PDE-Constrained Systems with Error Guarantees
type: item
description: The rapid evaluation of Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is a cornerstone of modern engineering design, particularly in inverse problems, optimal control, and uncertainty quantification. Traditional numerical solvers, such as Finite Element Methods (FEM) or Finite Volume Methods (FVM), offer high fidelity but incur prohibitive computational costs when employed in many-query scenarios. While recent advancements in scientific machine learning have introduced surrogate models to accelerate these computations, most deep learning approaches, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), suffer from discretization dependence and a lack of rigorous error bounds. This paper presents a novel framework utilizing Neural Operators, specifically an enhanced Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) architecture, to learn mappings between infinite-dimensional function spaces. Crucially, we introduce a mechanism for a posteriori error estimation that provides statistical guarantees on the prediction accuracy without requiring ground-truth data during the inference phase. Our approach approximates the solution operator of parametric PDEs while simultaneously learning a residual-based error estimator. We demonstrate that this method achieves a speedup of three orders of magnitude compared to traditional solvers while maintaining a controllable error margin. The results indicate that Neural Operators equipped with error guarantees can serve as reliable, real-time surrogates for safety-critical physical systems.

Federated Graph Learning for Distributed Resource Management in Multi-Cluster Computing Environments
type: item
description: The proliferation of distributed computing infrastructures has necessitated advanced resource management strategies that can operate across heterogeneous multi-cluster environments while preserving data privacy and system autonomy. This paper proposes a novel federated graph learning framework that leverages Graph Neural Networks (GNN) for intelligent resource allocation and scheduling in distributed computing systems. Our approach addresses the fundamental challenges of resource fragmentation, heterogeneous workload characteristics, and inter-cluster communication overhead through a decentralized learning paradigm. The framework constructs dynamic resource graphs representing computational nodes, network topologies, and workload dependencies, enabling collaborative learning across clusters without centralizing sensitive operational data. We introduce a hierarchical architecture inspired by proven distributed systems designs, combining local graph-based resource allocation with federated model aggregation through a master-slave coordination mechanism. The graph representation captures both global network topology and fine-grained local resource states, enabling multi-scale optimization of allocation decisions. We implement distributed model parallelism to achieve scalability across thousands of nodes while maintaining sub-second decision latencies. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that our federated graph learning approach achieves superior performance compared to traditional centralized scheduling methods, reducing average job completion time by 28% and improving overall cluster utilization by 34% across diverse workload scenarios.

Neural Network Based Inverse Kinematics Solution Method for Origami Robots
type: item
description: Inverse kinematics (IK) of origami robots is highly challenging due to their nonlinear geometry and complex folding constraints. Traditional iterative or analytical methods often suffer from high computational cost, poor convergence, and limited robustness in real-time scenarios. To address these issues, this study proposes a neural network–based IK solution framework. A dataset of 100,000 posture–joint pairs was generated through simulation, and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) was trained to approximate the nonlinear mapping from end-effector pose to joint angles. Experimental validation demonstrates that the proposed model achieves an average joint angle prediction error below 2°, representing a >40% reduction compared with conventional numerical iteration. The inference speed is approximately 20 times faster, and the convergence success rate reaches 98%, significantly surpassing baseline methods. Robustness tests under noisy inputs and boundary configurations show that prediction errors increase by less than 1°, confirming strong stability and generalization. These results indicate that the proposed neural network approach provides an efficient and reliable IK solver for origami robots, with promising applications in flexible manufacturing, space structures, and minimally invasive surgical robotics.

Explainable Hierarchical RL for Transparent Decision-Making in Digital Advertising Ecosystems
type: item
description: The growing demand for transparency in digital advertising decision-making has become a critical concern for industry practitioners and regulators alike. Traditional advertising allocation strategies often rely on black-box algorithms that lack sufficient explainability, posing significant challenges in environments where user privacy and regulatory compliance are paramount. This paper proposes a novel Explainable Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (EHRL) framework specifically designed for transparent decision-making in digital advertising ecosystems. The framework integrates option-critic architectures with deep Q-networks and incorporates sophisticated state representation mechanisms to achieve both efficient and interpretable advertising strategies. Our approach utilizes a three-tier hierarchical structure that mirrors natural advertising decision-making processes, from high-level strategic planning to tactical execution. Experimental results on large-scale real-world advertising datasets demonstrate that the proposed EHRL framework significantly improves decision transparency and explainability while maintaining competitive performance. Compared to traditional Deep Q-Network (DQN) approaches, EHRL achieves a 12.3% improvement in click-through rate prediction accuracy, an 8.7% increase in user satisfaction scores, and a 34.5% enhancement in human comprehensibility of decision explanations.

Hybrid Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning Strategies for Advanced Anomaly Detection in Complex Systems
type: item
description: Complex systems in modern industrial, cybersecurity, and infrastructure domains generate massive volumes of heterogeneous data, presenting significant challenges for traditional anomaly detection approaches. This paper proposes a novel hybrid framework that integrates Deep Learning (DL) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) strategies to address the limitations of existing methods in detecting sophisticated anomalies within complex systems. The proposed Hybrid Deep Learning-Reinforcement Learning (HDL-RL) framework combines the representational power of deep neural networks for feature extraction with the adaptive decision-making capabilities of reinforcement learning agents. Our approach employs residual convolutional neural networks and recurrent architectures for hierarchical feature learning, while policy-based reinforcement learning algorithms enable dynamic threshold adaptation and detection strategy optimization. The framework addresses key challenges including concept drift, imbalanced datasets, temporal dependencies, and the need for interpretable decisions in critical system monitoring. Experimental evaluation across multiple domains including network intrusion detection, industrial process monitoring, and financial fraud detection demonstrates significant performance improvements over state-of-the-art approaches. The HDL-RL framework achieves average precision improvements of 18.2% and recall enhancements of 15.7% while maintaining computational efficiency suitable for real-time deployment. The adaptive nature of the reinforcement learning component enables continuous improvement in detection accuracy as the system encounters new anomaly patterns, making it particularly suitable for evolving threat landscapes and dynamic operational environments.

description: Contemporary electronic design automation faces increasingly complex challenges as system integration density continues to escalate while electromagnetic compatibility requirements become more stringent across diverse applications ranging from automotive electronics to wireless communication systems. This research develops a novel reinforcement learning framework for automated layout optimization that simultaneously addresses placement, routing, and electromagnetic compatibility constraints within a unified optimization paradigm. The proposed approach integrates Deep Q-Network (DQN) algorithms with specialized reward functions that incorporate electromagnetic interference metrics, signal integrity assessments, and thermal management considerations to guide the learning process toward layouts that satisfy multiple competing design objectives. Through comprehensive evaluation across representative mixed-signal integrated circuits, automotive electronic control units, and high-frequency wireless systems, our reinforcement learning methodology demonstrates superior performance compared to traditional placement and routing algorithms while maintaining electromagnetic compatibility compliance rates exceeding 94.7% across diverse operating conditions. The framework achieves remarkable improvements in design quality metrics including 23.8% reduction in electromagnetic emissions, 31.2% improvement in signal integrity parameters, and 18.5% decrease in thermal hotspot formation compared to conventional EDA approaches. The adaptive learning mechanism enables the system to continuously improve performance through iterative design exploration, with convergence typically achieved within 2000-5000 training episodes depending on circuit complexity. Real-time layout modification capabilities facilitate interactive design optimization workflows that enable designers to explore trade-offs between electromagnetic performance, power consumption, and area utilization within computationall…

Optimizing Data Placement Strategies for Multi-Tier Storage Systems Using Predictive Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning
type: item
description: Multi-tier storage systems face complex challenges in data placement optimization due to conflicting objectives including access latency minimization, storage cost reduction, and system throughput maximization. Traditional rule-based placement strategies fail to adapt to dynamic workload patterns and changing access behaviors, resulting in suboptimal resource utilization and degraded system performance. The heterogeneous nature of storage tiers with varying performance characteristics and cost structures requires sophisticated placement algorithms that can balance multiple competing objectives. This study proposes a Predictive Multi-Objective Reinforcement Learning (PMORL) framework for optimizing data placement strategies in multi-tier storage systems. The framework integrates workload prediction models with multi-objective optimization techniques to enable proactive data placement decisions. Deep Q-Networks (DQNs) and Multi-Objective Actor-Critic (MOAC) algorithms learn optimal placement policies that simultaneously optimize access performance, storage costs, and system utilization across heterogeneous storage tiers. Experimental evaluation using enterprise storage workloads demonstrates that the proposed framework achieves 43% reduction in average access latency while decreasing storage costs by 31% compared to traditional placement methods. The predictive component enables proactive data migration that reduces system overhead by 29%, while the multi-objective optimization ensures balanced performance across all optimization criteria.

Machine Learning-Based Battery Degradation Prediction for Electric Vehicle Applications
type: item
description: Battery degradation remains one of the most critical challenges in electric vehicle (EV) development, directly affecting performance, safety, and user satisfaction. Traditional empirical models for degradation prediction often fall short in capturing the non-linear and dynamic nature of real-world driving and charging patterns. In this paper, we propose a data-driven approach using machine learning (ML) to predict battery degradation in lithium-ion battery systems under diverse operational conditions. We develop and evaluate supervised ML models including Random Forest (RF), Gradient Boosting (GB), and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks to forecast capacity fade and internal resistance growth. The models are trained on publicly available datasets enriched with temperature, current, voltage, and cycling history. Results show that the LSTM model outperforms others with a root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.024 in predicting capacity retention. The study provides a scalable and adaptive framework for intelligent battery health management in next-generation EVs.

Trustworthy API Traffic Management: Explainable RL for Anomaly Detection and Abuse Prevention
type: item
description: As the digital economy increasingly relies on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), ensuring the trustworthiness of API traffic management has become critical. Traditional rule-based systems often fail to adapt to complex and evolving patterns of API misuse, such as automated abuse, malicious bursts, and credential stuffing. This paper introduces an explainable reinforcement learning (RL) framework designed for real-time anomaly detection and proactive abuse prevention in API traffic. By integrating interpretability methods like SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) into the RL loop, the framework offers both adaptive performance and transparent decision-making. The proposed method is evaluated on simulated and real-world traffic data, demonstrating improved accuracy in detecting abnormal behaviors and reducing false positives compared to baseline models. The results suggest that explainable RL can effectively balance security and reliability while preserving developer trust and regulatory compliance.

However, the complexity of transportation routes, environmental variability, and real-time monitoring challenges often lead to temperature excursions that compromise product integrity. This paper proposes a machine learning (ML)-driven framework to optimize cold chain logistics by predicting temperature risks, dynamically adjusting routes, and ensuring real-time anomaly detection. By integrating supervised learning for predictive modeling and unsupervised learning for anomaly detection, the framework enhances the responsiveness and reliability of cold chain operations. Evaluations on historical logistics datasets demonstrate improved temperature compliance, reduced spoilage, and increased delivery efficiency, highlighting the potential of ML in transforming cold chain management.
