With technological developments in robotics and their increasing deployment, human-robot teams are set to be a mainstay in the future. To develop robots that possess teaming capabilities, such as being able to communicate implicitly, the present study implemented a closed-loop system. This system enabled the robot to provide adaptive aid without the need for explicit commands from the human teammate, through the use of multiple physiological workload measures. Such measures of workload vary in sensitivity and there is large inter-individual variability in physiological responses to imposed taskload. Workload models enacted via closed-loop system should accommodate such individual variability. The present research investigated the effects of the adaptive robot aid vs. imposed aid on performance and workload. Results showed that adaptive robot aid driven by an individualized workload model for physiological response resulted in greater improvements in performance compared to aid that was simply imposed by the system.

This paper proposes a hierarchical framework-based solution to address the challenges of vehicle state estimation and lateral stability control in four-wheel independent drive electric vehicles. First, based on a three-degrees-of-freedom four-wheel vehicle model combined with the Magic Formula Tire model (MF-T), a hierarchical estimation method is designed. The upper layer employs the Kalman Filter (KF) and Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to estimate the vertical load of the wheels, while the lower layer utilizes EKF in conjunction with the upper-layer results to further estimate the lateral forces, longitudinal velocity, and lateral velocity, achieving accurate vehicle state estimation.

Decreasing the position error and control torque is important for the coordinate control of a modular unmanned system with less communication burden between the sensor and the actuator. Therefore, this paper proposes event-trigger reinforcement learning (ETRL)-based coordinate control of a modular unmanned system (MUS) via the nonzero-sum game (NZSG) strategy. The dynamic model of the MUS is established via joint torque feedback (JTF) technology.

Direct energy deposition is an additive technology that can quickly manufacture irregularly shaped quartz-glass devices. Based on this technology and coaxial laser/wire feeding, open-loop tests were conducted under different process parameters. A closed-loop temperature control system was designed and built for the molten pool temperature in quartz-glass additive manufacturing.
