Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Control for Real‐Time Hybrid Simulation of Civil Structures
ABSTRACT Real‐time Hybrid Simulation (RTHS) is a cyber‐physical technique that studies the dynamic behavior of a system by combining physical and numerical components that are coupled through a boundary condition enforcer. In structural engineering, the numerical components are subjected to environmental loads that become dynamic displacements of the ...

Vector Field‐Based Collision‐Free Navigation in Tunnel‐Like Environments
ABSTRACT Tunnel‐like environments, renowned for their vast scale, confined spaces, and limited visibility, present significant challenges for autonomous robot navigation. This study addresses the critical issue of guiding robots through such environments while ensuring collision‐free navigation and maintaining a specified safety margin from both tunnel

Impact of half‐joint failures on RC girder bridges: A robustness quantification study
Abstract The robustness of bridge structures is critical to ensuring safety and service continuity, particularly in aging infrastructure exposed to degradation and unexpected loads. Reinforced concrete (RC) half‐joint bridges—widely built in Italy between the 1950s and 1970s—exhibit specific vulnerabilities due to inspection challenges, durability ...

AGT: Efficient Offline Reinforcement Learning With Advantage‐Guided Transformer
ABSTRACT Offline reinforcement learning (RL) is a paradigm that seeks to train policies directly based on fixed datasets derived from previous interactions with the environment. However, offline RL faces critical challenges in environments characterised by sparse rewards and datasets dominated by suboptimal trajectories.

Abstract The high penetration of renewable energy sources introduces uncertainty, posing significant challenges to the secure operation of multiple microgrids interconnected through lower voltage flexible interconnection devices. To address power and voltage fluctuations caused by these uncertainties, this paper proposes a robust optimisation method ...

Abstract Psychological concepts are increasingly understood as complex dynamic systems that change over time. To study these complex systems, researchers are increasingly gathering intensive longitudinal data (ILD), revealing non‐linear phenomena such as asymptotic growth, mean‐level switching, and regulatory oscillations.

Solving the traveling salesman problem by statistical testing using complex Markov chains
A method was proposed for solving the traveling salesman problem (TSP) using N -complex Markov chains (N -MC), the state sequence of which simulates a path through N points, each visited only once.
