Mechanic Modeling and Nonlinear Optimal Control of Actively Articulated Suspension of Mobile Heavy-Duty Manipulators

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This paper presents the analytic modeling of mobile heavy-duty manipulators with actively articulated suspension and its optimal control to maximize its static and dynamic stabilization. By adopting the screw theory formalism, we consider the suspension mechanism as a rigid multibody composed of two closed kinematic chains. This mechanical modeling allows us to compute the spatial inertial parameters of the whole platform as a function of the suspension's linear actuators through the articulated-body inertia method. Our solution enhances the computation accuracy of the wheels' reaction normal forces by providing an exact solution for the center of mass and inertia tensor of the mobile manipulator. Moreover, these inertial parameters and the normal forces are used to define metrics of both static and dynamic stability of the mobile manipulator and formulate a nonlinear programming problem that optimizes such metrics to generate an optimal stability motion that prevents the platform's overturning, such optimal position of the actuator is tracked with a state-feedback hydraulic valve control. We demonstrate our method's efficiency in terms of C++ computational speed, accuracy and performance improvement by simulating a 7 degrees-of-freedom heavy-duty parallel-serial mobile manipulator with four wheels and actively articulated suspension.


Compact Neural Network Algorithm for Electrocardiogram Classification

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In this paper, we present a high-performance, compact electrocardiogram (ECG)-based system for automatic classification of arrhythmias, integrating machine learning approaches to achieve robust cardiac diagnostics. Our method combines a compact artificial neural network with feature enhancement techniques, including mathematical transformations, signal analysis and data extraction algorithms, to capture both morphological and time-frequency features from ECG signals. A novel aspect of this work is the addition of 17 newly engineered features, which complement the algorithm's capability to extract significant data and physiological patterns from the ECG signal. This combination enables the classifier to detect multiple arrhythmia types, such as atrial fibrillation, sinus tachycardia, ventricular flutter, and other common arrhythmic disorders. The system achieves an accuracy of 97.36% on the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database, using a lower complexity compared to state-of-the-art models. This compact tool shows potential for clinical deployment, as well as adaptation for portable devices in long-term cardiac health monitoring applications.


A five-bar mechanism to assist finger flexion-extension movement: system implementation

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

The lack of specialized personnel and assistive technology to assist in rehabilitation therapies is one of the challenges facing the health sector today, and it is projected to increase. For researchers and engineers, it represents an opportunity to innovate and develop devices that improve and optimize rehabilitation services for the benefit of society. Among the different types of injuries, hand injuries occur most frequently. These injuries require a rehabilitation process in order for the hand to regain its functionality. This article presents the fabrication and instrumentation of an end-effector prototype, based on a five-bar configuration, for finger rehabilitation that executes a natural flexion-extension movement. The dimensions were obtained through the gradient method optimization and evaluated through Matlab. Experimental tests were carried out to demonstrate the prototype's functionality and the effectiveness of a five-bar mechanism acting in a vertical plane, where gravity influences the mechanism's performance. Position control using fifth-order polynomials with via points was implemented in the joint space. The design of the end-effector was also evaluated by performing a theoretical comparison, calculated as a function of a real flexion-extension trajectory of the fingers and the angle of rotation obtained through an IMU. As a result, controlling the two degrees of freedom of the mechanism at several points of the trajectory assures the end-effector trajectory and therefore the fingers' range of motion, which helps for full patient recovery.


Goldfish: Monolingual Language Models for 350 Languages

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

For many low-resource languages, the only available language models are large multilingual models trained on many languages simultaneously. However, using FLORES perplexity as a metric, we find that these models perform worse than bigrams for many languages (e.g. 24% of languages in XGLM 4.5B; 43% in BLOOM 7.1B). To facilitate research that focuses on low-resource languages, we pre-train and release Goldfish, a suite of monolingual autoregressive Transformer language models up to 125M parameters for 350 languages. The Goldfish reach lower FLORES perplexities than BLOOM, XGLM, and MaLA-500 on 98 of 204 FLORES languages, despite each Goldfish model being over 10x smaller. However, the Goldfish significantly underperform larger multilingual models on reasoning benchmarks, suggesting that for low-resource languages, multilinguality primarily improves general reasoning abilities rather than basic text generation. We release models trained on 5MB (350 languages), 10MB (288 languages), 100MB (166 languages), and 1GB (83 languages) of text data where available. The Goldfish models are available as baselines, fine-tuning sources, or augmentations to existing models in low-resource NLP research, and they are further useful for crosslinguistic studies requiring maximally comparable models across languages.


A quantitative and typological study of Early Slavic participle clauses and their competition

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

This thesis is a corpus-based, quantitative, and typological analysis of the functions of Early Slavic participle constructions and their finite competitors ($jegda$-'when'-clauses). The first part leverages detailed linguistic annotation on Early Slavic corpora at the morphosyntactic, dependency, information-structural, and lexical levels to obtain indirect evidence for different potential functions of participle clauses and their main finite competitor and understand the roles of compositionality and default discourse reasoning as explanations for the distribution of participle constructions and $jegda$-clauses in the corpus. The second part uses massively parallel data to analyze typological variation in how languages express the semantic space of English $when$, whose scope encompasses that of Early Slavic participle constructions and $jegda$-clauses. Probabilistic semantic maps are generated and statistical methods (including Kriging, Gaussian Mixture Modelling, precision and recall analysis) are used to induce cross-linguistically salient dimensions from the parallel corpus and to study conceptual variation within the semantic space of the hypothetical concept WHEN.

"It's how you do things that matters": Attending to Process to Better Serve Indigenous Communities with Language Technologies

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Indigenous languages are historically under-served by Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies, but this is changing for some languages with the recent scaling of large multilingual models and an increased focus by the NLP community on endangered languages. This position paper explores ethical considerations in building NLP technologies for Indigenous languages, based on the premise that such projects should primarily serve Indigenous communities. We report on interviews with 17 researchers working in or with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander communities on language technology projects in Australia. Drawing on insights from the interviews, we recommend practices for NLP researchers to increase attention to the process of engagements with Indigenous communities, rather than focusing only on decontextualised artefacts.


Land Cover Image Classification

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Land Use Land Cover (LULC) is a multidisciplinary field that categorizes and characterizes the earth's terrestrial surface. It encompasses various types of ground, from natural landscapes such as forests, wetlands, and deserts to human-altered environments such as agricultural fields, urban areas, and industrial sites. LULC studies provide a snapshot of the earth's surface at a given time, offering valuable insights into the spatial distribution and interaction of various land use types and land cover classes. The dynamic nature of LULC, driven by both natural processes and human activities, necessitates continuous monitoring and analysis to capture temporal changes. The importance of LULC studies extends to numerous fields. In environmental science, LULC data inform our understanding of biodiversity, ecosystem services, and the impacts of climate change. In urban planning and development, it helps to manage land resources, assess environmental impacts, and guide sustainable practices. LULC helps optimize land use for crop production in agriculture while minimizing environmental degradation. In addition, LULC data are integral to policy-making, supporting land conservation, urban growth, and climate change mitigation decisions.
