TL;DR: KBE systems application in automating the solid modelling of aircraft structures is demonstrated through a case study example in which a description is given of the knowledge-based geometric modelling of light alloy fuselage frame sectors.
Abstract: Aerospace engineering offers a challenging test environment for advanced design systems and methods. Focusing particularly on knowledge-based engineering (KBE) systems, this paper demonstrates their application in automating the solid modelling of aircraft structures. The principles are illustrated through a case study example in which a description is given of the knowledge-based geometric modelling of light alloy fuselage frame sectors. The business benefits of using KBE systems in an aerospace engineering programme are quantified. Recommendations for the extended application of the technology to achieve strategic market advantage are also given.

TL;DR: MATLAB programming is implemented as a computing tool in engineering analysis course to stimulate student’s critical thinking and problem solving skills and make it feasible for students to understand the behavior of an engineering system.
Abstract: The aim is to develop a teaching process that can contribute to the success and improvement of students through the courses in engineering and technology programs. This process is based on a model that can enhance student’s communication, critical thinking, teamwork, and problem solving skills through the core and design courses. For this model to be successful students are required to have a fundamental understanding in basic science and math courses and faculty must introduce and engage students with real applied problems/projects that incorporate research, analysis, and class presentation. Currently this model has been implemented through the core courses in Mechatronic Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering Technology programs at Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology. All those programs were able to produce a pool of talented students that can excel in workplace and graduate schools. In this study MATLAB programming is implemented as a computing tool in engineering analysis course to stimulate student’s critical thinking and problem solving skills. This exposure to MATLAB programming will also make it feasible for students to understand the behavior of an engineering system.

TL;DR: An integrated schema which mixes the interactive multiple model (IMM) and joint probabilistic data association (JPDA) with the asymmetric assignment optimisation algorithm to generate the optimal feasible hypothesis is proposed.
Abstract: This paper presents a feasible and robust approach which handles the real-time data association problem for robotic simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) in clutter and dynamic environment. Unlike most of proposals that are based on a single model to estimate the dynamics of a scenario and thus fall short of the variation of environmental complexity which may need different models to estimate the modes of behaviour, in this paper, we propose an integrated schema which mixes the interactive multiple model (IMM) and joint probabilistic data association (JPDA), with the asymmetric assignment optimisation algorithm to generate the optimal feasible hypothesis. Because of its adaptability and cost-effectiveness, this approach can be applied for real-time SLAM applications. Simulation is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

TL;DR: Preliminary structural design work on a notional uninhabited tactical aircraft (UTA) carried out at Cranfield University led to the evolution of a design solution, believed to be reasonable.
Abstract: Describes preliminary structural design work on a notional uninhabited tactical aircraft (UTA), carried out at Cranfield University. UTAs are seen as an important future element of military fleets. A notional baseline requirement was derived, leading to the evolution of a design solution. The basic requirements for such a UTA are naturally highly classified but, although industry has been hesitant to comment, the baseline requirements and design solution developed herein are believed to be reasonable.

TL;DR: A trust-aware reflective control (Trust-R), was developed for a robot swarm to understand the collaborative mission and calibrate its motions accordingly for better emergency response, validated by improved task performance and increased trust scores.
Abstract: A human-swarm cooperative system, which mixes multiple robots and a human supervisor to form a heterogeneous team, is widely used for emergent scenarios such as criminal tracking in social security and victim assistance in a natural disaster These emergent scenarios require a cooperative team to quickly terminate the current task and transit the system to a new task, bringing difficulty in motion planning Moreover, due to the immediate task transitions, uncertainty from both physical systems and prior tasks is accumulated to decrease swarm performance, causing robot failures and influencing the cooperation effectiveness between the human and the robot swarm Therefore, given the quick-transition requirements and the introduced uncertainty, it is challenging for a human-swarm system to respond to emergent tasks, compared with executing normal tasks where a gradual transition between tasks is allowed Human trust reveals the behavior expectations of others and is used to adjust unsatisfactory behaviors for better cooperation Inspired by human trust, in this paper, a trust-aware reflective control (Trust-R) is developed to dynamically calibrate human-swarm cooperation Trust-R, based on a weighted mean subsequence reduced algorithm (WMSR) and human trust modeling, helps a swarm to self-reflect its performance from the perspective of human trust; then proactively correct its faulty behaviors in an early stage before a human intervenes One typical task scenario {emergency response} was designed in the real-gravity simulation environment, and a human user study with 145 volunteers was conducted Trust-R's effectiveness in correcting faulty behaviors in emergency response was validated by the improved swarm performance and increased trust scores
