Array sensors are widely used in various fields such as radar, wireless communications, autonomous vehicle applications, medical imaging, and astronomical observations fault diagnosis. Array signal processing is accomplished with a beam pattern which is produced by the signal's amplitude and phase at each element of array. The beam pattern can get rigorously distorted in case of failure of array element and effect its Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) badly. This paper proposes on a Hybrid Neural Network layer weight Goal Attain Optimization (HNNGAO) method to generate a recovery beam pattern which closely resembles the original beam pattern with remaining elements in the array. The proposed HNNGAO method is compared with classic synthesize beam pattern goal attain method and failed beam pattern generated in MATLAB environment. The results obtained proves that the proposed HNNGAO method gives better SNR ratio with remaining working element in linear array compared to classic goal attain method alone.

Walking algorithms using push-off improve moving efficiency and disturbance rejection performance. However, the algorithm based on classical contact force control requires an exact model or a Force/Torque sensor. This paper proposes a novel contact force control algorithm based on neural networks. The proposed model is adapted to a linear quadratic regulator for position control and balance. The results demonstrate that this neural network-based model can accurately generate force and effectively reduce errors without requiring a sensor. The effectiveness of the algorithm is assessed with the realistic test model. Compared to the Jacobian-based calculation, our algorithm significantly improves the accuracy of the force control. One step simulation was used to analyze the robustness of the algorithm. In summary, this walking control algorithm generates a push-off force with precision and enables it to reject disturbance rapidly.

We have developed a high-throughput method, by combining a hybrid neural network with a mechanistic capsule model, to predict membrane elasticity and viscosity of microcapsules from their dynamic deformation in a branched microchannel.
