Earthshaker: A mobile rescue robot for emergencies and disasters through teleoperation and autonomous navigation

To deal with emergencies and disasters without rescue workers being exposed to dangerous environments, this paper presents a mobile rescue robot, Earthshaker. As a combination of a tracked chassis and a six-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, as well as miscellaneous sensors and controllers, Earthshaker is capable of traversing diverse terrains and fulfilling dexterous manipulation. Specifically, Earthshaker has a unique swing arm—dozer blade structure that can help clear up cumbersome obstacles and stabilize the robot on stairs, a multimodal teleoperation system that can adapt to different transmission conditions, a depth camera-aided robotic arm and gripper that can realize semiautonomous manipulation and a LiDAR aided base that can achieve autonomous navigation in unknown areas. It was these special systems that supported Earthshaker to win the first Advanced Technology & Engineering Challenge (A-TEC) championships, standing out of 40 robots from the world and showing the efficacy of system integration and the advanced control philosophy behind it.     

Structure of the human CLC-7/Ostm1 complex reveals a novel state

CLC-7 functions as a Cl?/H+ exchanger in lysosomes. Defects in CLC-7 and its β-subunit, Ostm1, result in osteopetrosis and neurodegeneration. Here, we present the cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of the human CLC-7/Ostm1 complex (HsCLC-7/Ostm1) at a resolution of 3.6 ?. Our structure reveals a new state of the CLC-7/Ostm1 heterotetramer, in which the cytoplasmic domain of CLC-7 is absent, likely due to high flexibility. The disordered cytoplasmic domain is probably not able to restrain CLC-7 subunits and thus allow their relative movements. The movements result in an approximately half smaller interface between the CLC-7 transmembrane domains than that in a previously reported CLC-7/Ostm1 structure with a well-folded cytoplasmic domain. Key interactions involving multiple osteopetrosis-related residues are affected by the interface change.     

基于轻量化深度学习网络的数字仪表识别

数字式仪表常用于变电站、工厂等生产环境,是一种直观的设备监测仪器。然而当前数字式仪表的读取方式还依赖于人工巡检,手动记录等,这些传统的巡检方式来监测设备的运行状态大大降低了巡检效率。为了实现传统行业的数字化转型,本文提出基于轻量化深度学习的数字仪表识别方法,通过改进的YOLOv5的目标检测框架,针对数字仪表目标区域在整张图片大小不一致的情况,提出对于感兴趣区域（ROI）的迭代目标检测方法,首次检测将感兴趣区域进行检测并切割统一到相同的尺度,随后迭代检测网络针对感兴趣区域内的字符进行检测并分类,以达到精确读数的目的。为提升多尺度检测性能,本文采用Res2Net模块主干网络中的的残差模块。采用GIoU取代通用的IoU作为位置损失函数加速模型训练效果的收敛。实验表明,改进后的框架实现了99.62%的准确率和99.55%的召回率,相比基线网络分别提升了12.72%和5.85%。通过将框架在边缘计算平台上的终端部署,在实际生产中取代了人工巡检,实现了商业化运行。     

燃料电池离心式空压机性能衰减特性试验研究

为了获取燃料电池空压机性能衰减特性、提高其使用寿命,针对一款自主开发的燃料电池空压机开展了耐久性试验研究.结合燃料电池汽车实际道路循环工况特征,构建了一种接近真实道路循环工况的空压机寿命测试工况,并开展了4 000 h的空压机耐久性试验,采集了不同磨合时间段的空压机性能与运行参数.通过耐久试验数据分析,明确了空压机性能衰减规律及其影响因素.除磨合时间外,空压机性能衰减主要受转速和压力的影响,其中压力衰减随转速增加而增大,衰减速度随磨合时间增加先快后慢;空气流量衰减对转速和压力均很敏感,衰减速度随磨合时间基本保持不变.磨合4 000 h后,在额定工况下空压机的出口压力和空气流量衰减最大分别达到7.5%和29.7%.

含铝高速钢中奥氏体非均匀长大的机制

M2AI和M2高速钢经一次和二次淬火后,奥氏体晶粒和未溶碳化物的定量研究表明,在高温r/f比值相同的条件下,由于淬火前原始组织的差别,可发生正常(均匀)和异常(非均匀)两类长大。根据异常粗晶形成初期的组织观察,提出了“连续-非连续”再结晶模式和“合并—推移”式的生长机制。提出了减轻或消除M2AI钢混晶的工艺原则。
