    Accurate estimation of berthing parameters is a prerequisite for unmanned surface vessel autonomous berthing. A method for berthing parameter estimation is proposed based on shipborne 3D LiDAR. The method consists of two main modules: ship pose estimation and berthing state estimation. In the berthing position estimation module, raw point cloud data undergoes preprocessing algorithms aims at downsampling and removing outliers. Point cloud registration algorithms are employed to determine the vessel's position during the berthing process. The berthing state estimation module extracts berth boundary information by using the MSAC algorithm, and on the basis of this information, calculates the berthing parameters. Experimental analysis results show that the ship pose information and berthing parameter information obtained by the algorithm are consistent with reality. The average berthing distance error is less than 0.023 m, and the average angle error is less than 0.26°, which verifies the accuracy and rationality of this berthing parameter estimation algorithm.

    Aiming at the global path planning problem of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in dynamic environments, this paper proposes an improved Harris Hawk optimization algorithm. To address the problem of insufficient search performance in the later stage of the algorithm, an adaptive chaos and core population dynamic partitioning strategy is proposed to improve the searchability of the algorithm in the later stage. The Harris Hawk update formula is modified, and the golden sine strategy is introduced to improve the search efficiency of the algorithm. Then, an adaptive dynamic cloud optimal solution perturbation strategy is integrated to improve the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local extremum. For the three-dimensional grid path planning problem, a valuation function is established. By calculating the cost of reaching the endpoint for each grid, the algorithm is aided in filtering nodes, allowing it to search for a shorter path. For the problem of the non-smooth path, the path angle is processed by using the cubic B-spline curvefor three times to make the path more suitable for UAV flight. The effectiveness of the improved algorithm is validated by simulation experiments on international standard test functions and static and dynamic grid maps of varying sizes and complexity. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms the control group algorithm. On average, the planned path is shortened by 14.94% and the number of corners is reduced by 53.31%.

    High-precision optical system is easy to be affected by space environment. Under the condition of high temperature, structural load, etc., the image quality of the optical system becomes poor, and the opto-mechanical-thermal coupling analysis is needed. Due to the independent development of the optical simulation, structure simulation, thermal simulation and others, the simulation data can not be effectively coupled and transferred. An interdisciplinary coupling analysis method is proposed, in which the integrated analysis idea is adopted and the polynomial fitting is used as the interface to solve the irregular deformation of optical element surface. Through the implement of the best fitting rigid body displacement, the best fitting radius of curvature, polynomial fitting, etc., the coupling analysis between finite element analysis tool and optical analysis tool is realized. Taking Cassegrain system as the test object, the effectiveness of the method is verified. The method provides a reference to the optical performance evaluation of the optical-mechanical system and the design optimization of the system under extreme conditions.

    To address the challenges of balancing the constraint satisfaction and objective function optimization, and dealing with the complex feasible regions in constrained multi-objective optimization problems(CMOPs), a classification-based search approach is proposed based on different Pareto front relationships. A dual-population dual-phase framework is proposed in which an auxiliary population Pa and a main population Pm are evolved and the evolution process is divided into a learning phase and a search phase. During the learning phase, Pa explores unconstrained Pareto front (UPF) and Pm explores constrained Pareto front(CPF), through which the relationship between UPF and CPF is determined. After completing the learning phase, the different classified relationships guide the subsequent search strategies. In the search phase, the algorithm adaptively adjusts the search strategy of Pa to provide effective assistance for Pm according to the different classification relationships between UPF and CPF. Based on this framework, Pareto front relationships for different CMOPs are classified to achieve the more effective searching for CPF. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has a better performance compared with the seven state-of-the-art constrained multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (CMOEAs). Through learning and utilizing the relationship between UPF and CPF, the more appropriate search strategies can be selected to handle CMOPs with different characteristics and a more advantageous final solution set can be got.

    Safety and collision-free navigation are the basis of normal navigation of an unmanned surface vessel. The high-fidelity virtual ocean is constructed by using Unity3D.On the basis of the vessel modeling, a real-time path planning and formation control method for unknown complex environments is proposed. Firstly, the local environment information is obtained by the laser sensor.

In addition, formation control is carried out based on the leader-follower strategy and consistency method, and the artificial potential field is used to complete the navigation task of the unmanned surface vessel in terms ofobstacle avoidance. The simulation experiments on various complex scenarios show that the system has excellent authenticity and visual effects and provides an effective means for simulating vessel navigation. At the same time, based on the proposed algorithm, the vessel fleet can arrive at the preset waypoints successively and independently change the formation to avoid obstacles in real-time, which has certain theoretical significance and practicability in engineering applications.

    A dynamic path planning method combining RRT* and dynamic window approach(DWA) is proposed to realize the obstacle avoidance of mobile robot in complex environment of dynamic obstacles. Improved RRT* algorithm is used to generate the global optimal safe path based on the known environment information. By eliminating the dangerous nodes generated by RRT* algorithm, the security of global path is ensured.Greedy algorithm is used to remove the redundant nodes in the path to reduce the length of global path. DWA is used to track along the global optimal path planned by the improved RRT* algorithm. When static obstacles appear on the global path, the weights of DWA algorithm evaluation function is adjusted twice to avoid the obstacles and return to the original path in time. When moving obstacles is in the environment. By detecting the dangerous distance in advance, changing direction and speeding up, the robot can safely drive away from the area. Simulation experiments verify that the improved fusion algorithm proposed in complex dynamic environment has shorter running time, smaller path cost, and always keeps safe distance from obstacles, which ensures the optimal tracked path while safely avoiding the dynamic obstacles.

    The introduction of Industry 4.0 and the Made in China 2025 development policy has accelerated the transformation of the manufacturing industry from automation to intelligence. Industrial robots, as the representative equipment of intelligent manufacturing, will also become more intelligent. Based on digital twin technology, digital modeling, and simulation debugging are conducted for such problems as interference and collision, tedious operation, and low efficiency of industrial robot spot welding debugging in production. Process Simulate from TECNOMATIX software is utilized to digitally model the robot spot welding station and define its motion, and TIA Portal and S7-PLCSIM Advanced are applied to build a virtual simulation and commissioning environment to realize multi-robot cooperative work at the processing station controlled by an external virtual PLC. The simulation results show that the robot can reach all working points during the motion and the joint speed is always kept within a reasonable range, which meets the requirements of safety and stability in the actual production process. At the same time, the robot spot welding station simulation by digital twin technology can find product defects in time, shorten the debugging cycle, and reduce the cost.

    Compared with the air-based homogeneous unmanned system, the motion capabilities, resource payloads, and combat scenes in the air-ground heterogeneous unmanned system increase the number of constraint conditions and significantly increase the computational complexity of the solution model. The modeling of collaborative combat missions and the efficient solution of large-scale problems are the key issues. With the time, path cost, and reconnaissance benefit as the objective functions, considering the constraints such as the endurance of unmanned platforms, a multi-objective programming model for the reconnaissance missions of an air-ground heterogeneous unmanned system is constructed. Aiming at the urban combat environments with multiple threat zones, considering the path safety and timeliness of unmanned platform missions, the improved A* algorithm path planning strategies for unmanned aerial vehicles and unmanned ground vehicles are proposed. Aiming at the problem that the optimization effect of snake optimizer (SO) is unstable and easy to fall into local optimal solutions, an improved snake optimizer (IMSO) is proposed by combining the particle swarm algorithm and the genetic algorithm. Simulation verification and comparative analysis with existing algorithms are carried out by using Python language to verify the feasibility of the model and the superiority of the algorithm. Solving 10 tasks independently under three different task loads from small to large, the average objective function values of IMSO are 100.11%, 108.99%, and 110.01% of SO, respectively. It can be seen that IMSO can jump out of local optima multiple times, and the stability and final fitness values of the algorithm are better than SO, and is more superior in solving the larger-scale problems.

    The traditional solution method for the incoming attacking target in water lacks the time series characteristics mining on multi-dimensional and uncertain observation data. Aiming at the time series prediction with high complexity and missing data, a method based on adaptive window interpolation and deep variable weight long-term and short-term memory network model for missing time series observation data with multiple sampling frequencies is proposed, which is compared and verified on the simulation data and public test data set. Aiming at the random missing problem caused by the inconsistency of sampling frequency of multi-source observation information, an adaptive window imputation method is introduced to adaptively adjust the imputation window according to the missing rate of observation information and reduce the error level of traditional imputation methods. The long and short-term memory network model with variable weights is introduced to time series data, and the loss weight of back propagation is adaptively adjusted according to the missing time series observation data at multiple sampling frequencies while being suitable for imputation of missing time series observation data at multiple sampling frequencies. Experiment results show that the comprehensive use of adaptive window interpolation and variable weight long-term and short-term memory network model can provide a faster and accurate decision-making reference for predicting and defending the incoming targets.

    Mainstream image semantic segmentation networks currently face problems such as incorrect segmentation, discontinuous segmentation, and high model complexity, which cannot be flexibly and efficiently deployed in practical scenarios. To this end, an image semantic segmentation network that optimizes the DeepLabv3+ model is designed by comprehensively considering the network parameters, prediction time, and accuracy. The lightweight EfficientNetv2 is adopted to extract backbone network features and improve parameter utilization. In the atrous spatial pyramid pooling module, the mixed strip pooling is utilized to replace the global average pooling, and a depthwise separable dilated convolution is introduced to reduce parameters and improve the ability to learn multi-scale information. The attention mechanism is employed to enhance the model's representation power, and the multiple shallow features of the backbone network are extracted to enrich the image's geometric details. The experiment shows that the algorithm achieves 81.19% mIoU with a parameter size of 55.51×106, which optimizes the segmentation accuracy and model complexity and improves model generalization.

    A* algorithm has the problem of too many polyline paths and search nodes, while the artificial potential field (APF) method has the problems of local optimality and unattainability. These problems are investigated in this paper. A new hybrid heuristic function is proposed based on the Euclidean distance and projection distance, based on which theA*algorithm process is improved accordingly.The search nodes of the A* algorithm are reduced, and the search efficiency is improved. The optimal node generated by the new A* algorithm is used as the local target point of the APF algorithm to assist in getting rid of the local optimal point. The potential field function is improved by adding the position relationship between the robot and the target point, and the gain of repulsive force is modified. The generation direction of the repulsive force is optimized. A new algorithm is proposed by fusing the improved two algorithms, and the potential field function of APFmethod is used to guide the search of the A* algorithm. The improved algorithms are compared in terms of path length, obstacle avoidance effect, and iteration times. The simulation results show that the improved algorithm proposed in this paper has high search efficiency and achieves obstacle avoidance while ensuring the optimal path of the calculation.
