Echocardiography plays a vital role in identifying these lesions, but differentiating incomplete KD from other febrile illnesses, such as COVID-19, is difficult. Algorithms capable of achieving expert-level performance are needed to aid diagnosis, particularly in the absence of pediatric cardiologists. Methods: To address this need, we developed two novel deep learning models: the Multiple Receptive Attention Network (MRANet) and the Multiple Large Receptive Attention Network (MLRANet). These models incorporate multiple receptive attention layers and multiple large receptive attention layers to enhance their ability to identify KD-related coronary artery abnormalities on echocardiography. The models were trained and tested on 203 echocardiographic datasets and compared with advanced deep learning models to assess diagnostic performance. Results: Both MRANet and MLRANet outperformed existing deep learning models, achieving diagnostic accuracy comparable to experienced pediatric cardiologists. Notably, MLRANet demonstrated the highest sensitivity (93.48%) and specificity (66.15%), exceeding expert-level performance in detecting coronary artery abnormalities. Furthermore, MLRANet was able to distinguish incomplete KD from pneumonia effectively, showing diagnostic results aligned with the KD specialists. Conclusions: MLRANet has proven to be a valuable tool for computer-aided diagnosis of incomplete KD, offering accurate and reliable detection of coronary artery abnormalities without requiring specialist input. These findings suggest that MLRANet can facilitate timely and precise incomplete KD diagnosis, improving patient outcomes and addressing the shortage of pediatric cardiologists worldwide. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd Sun, 31 Aug 2025 15:00:00 GMT https://scholar.dgist.ac.kr/handle/20.500.11750/58607 2025-08-31T15:00:00Z https://scholar.dgist.ac.kr/handle/20.500.11750/58488 Title: Online Sensor Fault Detection and Toleration for Four-wheeled Skid-steered UGV Author(s): An, Youngwoo; Eun, Yongsoon Abstract: This paper presents a fault detection and toleration scheme for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) with two position sensors and orientation sensors. Four representative types of sensor faults are considered: complete fault, bias fault, drift fault, and precision degradation. The proposed detection method consists of a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Network Module, an Amplitude Difference Thresholding Module, and an Actuation Motion Coherence Module. A Husarion Rosbot 2.0 and VICON motion capture system compose a platform that is used to collect motion data for network training and experimental validation of the proposed scheme. Sensor fault detection performance is experimentally validated using a trajectory that was not included in the training data set. The fault detection accuracy is compared to other learning-based fault detection methods. Based on the fault detection result, we propose the fault toleration method. © ICROS, KIEE and Springer 2025.

The AMHS also acts as a buffer that enhances overall productivity by reducing the dependency on individual machine operations. This paper introduces a buffer parameter optimization algorithm designed for advanced AMHS with the capability to control the speed of individual products. The buffer parameters targeted for optimization are buffer length (distance between machines) and transfer speed. The algorithm addresses each parameter separately through two distinct optimization problems. The buffer length optimization problem is formulated with the constraint of limited space assigned to the production system. On the other hand, the transfer speed optimization problem is formulated based on the constraints of network resources and hardware limitations. The proposed algorithm employs an aggregation method to evaluate the performance of the production systems analytically. © ICROS, KIEE and Springer 2024.

Namely, the quadrotor does not tilt when undergoing uniform linear motion; and it is not possible to account for energy dissipation due to wind and drag. To solve these two issues, we have added two types of aerodynamic drag due to wind into the quadrotor dynamics: propeller drag, and body drag. We conducted equilibria analyses of this model and observed that bifurcation occurs as the quadrotor body size is diminished. Through simulation, it was revealed that the model we propose overcomes the limitations of the rigid body model. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that the model we propose enables the calculation of energy dissipation due to wind, and the energy dissipation varies depending on the wind field distribution, even if the quadrotor’s trajectory is the same. This metric can serve as a cost function for a new path-finding problem, aiding in the more efficient operation of quadrotors. © ICROS, KIEE and Springer 2024.
