Event-triggered adaptive neural prescribed performance admittance control for constrained robotic systems without velocity measurements.

In this paper, an event-triggered adaptive neural prescribed performance admittance control (ETANPPAC) scheme is proposed to control the constrained robotic systems without velocity sensors. To ensure compliance during human-robot interaction, the reference trajectory is obtained by reshaping the desired trajectory for the robotic systems based on the admittance relationship, where a saturation function is used to constrain the reference trajectory, avoiding excessive contact forces that could render the trajectory inexecutable. Moreover, a barrier Lyapunov function is used to constrain the tracking errors for prescribed performance, where a velocity observer and a radial basis function neural network are designed to estimate the velocity and the uncertainty of the robotic systems, respectively, to enhance control performance.

Intelligent quantitative recognition of sulfide using machine learning-based ratiometric fluorescence probe of metal-organic framework UiO-66-NH/Ppix.

Sulfides possess either high toxicity or play crucial physiological role such as gas transmitter dependent upon dosage, hence the significant for their rapid sensitive and selective concentration determination. Herein, a machine learning enhanced ratiometric fluorescence sensor was engineered for sulfide determination by incorporating the nanometal-organic framework (UiO-66-NH) along with protoporphyrin IX (Ppix). The blue fluorescence at 431 nm originated from the moiety of UiO-66-NH by 365 nm excitation serves as an internal calibration reference signal, while the red fluorescence at 629 nm from the moiety of Ppix serves as the analytical signal, and the intensity is correlated to the amount of sulfides.

Precise and directional couplings of functional nanomaterials with implantable microelectrode arrays (IMEAs) are critical for the manufacture of sensitive enzyme-based electrochemical neural sensors. However, there is a gap between the microscale of IMEA and conventional bioconjugation techniques for enzyme immobilization, which leads to a series of challenges such as limited sensitivity, signal crosstalk, and high detection voltage.
