Learning-Based Multi-UAV Flocking Control With Limited Visual Field and Instinctive Repulsion

This article explores deep reinforcement learning (DRL) for the flocking control of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarms. The flocking control policy is trained using a centralized-learning-decentralized-execution (CTDE) paradigm, where a centralized critic network augmented with additional information about the entire UAV swarm is utilized...

Dynamic Growth of Macroscopically Structured Supramolecular Hydrogels through Orchestrated Reaction-Diffusion

Living organisms are capable of dynamically changing their structures for adaptive functions through sophisticated reaction-diffusion processes. Here we show how active supramolecular hydrogels with programmable lifetimes and macroscopic structures can be created by relying on a simple reaction-diffusion strategy. Two hydrogel precursors ...

Learning-based resilience guarantee for multi-UAV collaborative QoS management

Unmanned and intelligent technologies are the future development trend in the business field. It is of great significance for the connotation analysis and application characterization of massive interactive data. Particularly, during major epidemics or disasters, how to provide business services safely and securely is crucial. Specifically,...

Learning-Based Multi-Robot Formation Control With Obstacle Avoidance

Multi-robot formation control has been intensively studied in recent years. In practical applications, the multi-robot system's ability to independently change the formation to avoid collision among the robots or with obstacles is critical. In this study, a multi-robot adaptive formation control framework based on deep reinforcement learning...

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Laplacian Twin Support Vector Machine for Semi-supervised Classification

In general, data contain noises which come from faulty instruments, flawed measurements or faulty communication. Learning with data in the context of classification or regression is inevitably affected by noises in the data. In order to remove or greatly reduce the impact of noises, we introduce the ideas of fuzzy membership functions and the...

Transient supramolecular hydrogels formed by catalytic control over molecular self-assembly

The present work shows how transient supramolecular hydrogels can be formed by catalytically controlled molecular self-assembly. Catalysis formation of molecular gelators leads the self-assembly along a kinetically favored pathway, resulting in transient hydrogels. This work demonstrates an effective approach towards pathway-dependent...
