Formation Control of Multi‐Agent System with Local Interaction and Artificial Potential Field

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article proposes a local interaction‐based formation control method for Multi‐Agent system, integrating consensus and leader‐follower strategies with a stress response mechanism—artificial potential field to reduce communication overhead and enable obstacle avoidance. Experimental results on triangular, square, and hexagonal formations confirm its

Backpropagation Through Soft Body: Investigating Information Processing in Brain–Body Coupling Systems

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study explores how information processing is distributed between brains and bodies through a codesign approach. Using the “backpropagation through soft body” framework, brain–body coupling agents are developed and analyzed across several tasks in which output is generated through the agents’ physical dynamics.

The spatial distribution in infinite dimensional spaces and related quantiles and depths

, 2014
The spatial distribution has been widely used to develop various nonparametric procedures for finite dimensional multivariate data. In this paper, we investigate the concept of spatial distribution for data in infinite dimensional Banach spaces.

Cryo‐EM Structure Guided Engineering of Botulinum Neurotoxin A With Advanced Receptor Binding Affinity and Therapeutical Benefits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The butterfly unfolded wing in an open form structure of botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) at physiological‐state was confirmed at 2.85 Å resolution by cryo‐electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Structure‐guided protein engineering significantly enhanced the receptor‐binding affinity, therapeutic efficacy, and safety of the engineered toxin variants ...

Preliminary Test Estimators and Confidence Intervals for the Parametric Functions of the Moore and Bilikam Family of Lifetime Distributions Based on Records

Austrian Journal of Statistics, 2019
We consider two measures of reliability functions namely R(t)=P(X>t) and P=P(X>Y) for the Moore and Bilikam (1978) family of lifetime distributions which covers fourteen distributions as specific cases.

Asymptotic properties of a goodness-of-fit test based on maximum correlations [PDF]

We study the efficiency properties of the goodness-of-fit test based on the Qn statistic introduced in Fortiana and Grané (2003) using the concepts of Bahadur asymptotic relative efficiency and Bahadur asymptotic optimality.
