A Smart Metasurface for Electromagnetic Manipulation Based on Speech Recognition Article

Lin Bai, Yuan Ke Liu, Liang Xu, Zheng Zhang, Qiang Wang, Wei Xiang Jiang, Cheng-Wei Qiu, Tie Jun Cui

Engineering 2023, Volume 22, Issue 3,   Pages 185-190 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2022.06.026

Abstract:

In this work, we propose and realize a smart metasurface for programming electromagnetic (EM) manipulations based on human speech recognition. The smart metasurface platform is composed of a digital coding metasurface, a speech-recognition module, a single-chip computer, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit, and can control EM waves according to pre-stored voice commands in a smart way. The constructed digital metasurface contains 6 × 6 super unit cells, each of which consists of 4 × 4 active elements with embedded varactor diodes. Together with the DAC and single-chip computer, the speech-recognition module can recognize voice commands and generate corresponding voltage sequences to control the metasurface. In addition, a genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted in the design of the metasurface for efficiently optimizing the phase distributions. To verify the performance of the smart metasurface platform, three typical functions are demonstrated: radar cross-section reduction, vortex beam generation, and beam splitting. The proposed strategy may offer a new avenue for controlling EM waves and establishing a link between EM and acoustic communications.

Cross-industry standard test method developments: from manufacturing to wearable robots Review

Roger BOSTELMAN, Elena MESSINA, Sebti FOUFOU

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2017, Volume 18, Issue 10,   Pages 1447-1457 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1601316

Abstract: Manufacturing robotics is moving towards human-robot collaboration with light duty robots being used side by side with workers. Similarly, exoskeletons that are both passive (spring and counterbalance forces) and active (motor forces) are worn by humans and used to move body parts. Exoskeletons are also called ‘wearable robots’ when they are actively controlled using a computer and integrated sensing. Safety standards now allow, through risk assessment, both manufacturing and wearable robots to be used. However, performance standards for both systems are still lacking. Ongoing research to develop standard test methods to assess the performance of manufacturing robots and emergency response robots can inspire similar test methods for exoskeletons. This paper describes recent research on performance standards for manufacturing robots as well as search and rescue robots. It also discusses how the performance of wearable robots could benefit from using the same test methods.

Grasping the Essence of Qian Xuesen's Theory on Sand Industry

Liu Shu

Strategic Study of CAE 2002, Volume 4, Issue 1,   Pages 9-14

Abstract:

This paper describes the concept, scientific basis, key technical points and the significance of sand industry. As a scientific conceit for the utilization of desert Gobi, the essence of sand industry is to take the advantage of the sunlight resource in the Gobi area to raise the photosynthetic productivity with the help of modern technical achievements and effective market-oriented management system, so as to gain benefits both economically and ecologically. The technical principle being employed in the present sand industry as so called “more lighting, less water, new technology, high benefit” is expounded. The application results in Zhanye prefecture of Gansu province is introduced.

Grasping institutional complexity in infrastructure mega-projects through the multi-level governance

Yi HU, Yun LE, Xinglin GAO, Yongkui LI, Mingqiang LIU

Frontiers of Engineering Management 2018, Volume 5, Issue 1,   Pages 52-63 doi: 10.15302/J-FEM-2018074

Abstract: This study analyzes the design and operation of multi-level governance system for the smooth delivery of infrastructure mega-projects with high institutional complexity caused by market transition. From an institutional perspective, this study scrutinizes the structure, elements, and dynamics of the governance system of infrastructure mega-projects and then proposes an integrative framework based on the inductive case study of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge mega-project. Multiple evidences of archives, field studies, and interviews related to the case project are triangulated to further analyze the institutional effects, specifically those with government logics and market structures, on the design and operation of the three-level governance system. Results reveal that the co-evolution between governments and markets in China has shaped the vertical levels of the mega-project governance system and has further affected their evolution and operation across various stages of project development. This study contributes to the rapidly emerging research on complex system governance by proposing a systematic model of three-level mega-project governance to enhance the timely delivery of infrastructure mega-projects within budget.

Selective and Independent Control of Microrobots in a Magnetic Field: A Review Review

Min Wang, Tianyi Wu, Rui Liu, Zhuoran Zhang, Jun Liu

Engineering 2023, Volume 24, Issue 5,   Pages 21-38 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2023.02.011

Abstract:

Due to the unique advantages of untethered connections and a high level of safety, magnetic actuation is a commonly used technique in microrobotics for propelling microswimmers, manipulating fluidics, and navigating medical devices. However, the microrobots or actuated targets are exposed to identical and homogeneous driving magnetic fields, which makes it challenging to selectively control a single robot or a specific group among multiple targets. This paper reviews recent advances in selective and independent control for multi-microrobot or multi-joint microrobot systems driven by magnetic fields. These selective and independent control approaches decode the global magnetic field into specific configurations for the individualized actuation of multiple microrobots. The methods include applying distinct properties for each microrobot or creating heterogeneous magnetic fields at different locations. Independent control of the selected targets enables the effective cooperation of multiple microrobots to accomplish more complicated operations. In this review, we provide a unique perspective to explain how to manipulate individual microrobots to achieve a high level of group intelligence on a small scale, which could help accelerate the translational development of microrobotic technology for real-life applications.
