Abstract: A method for energy efficient routing in wireless sensor network based on multi-agent deep reinforcement learning, predefines a to-be-deployed wireless sensor network and creates a cooperative routing decision system including A decision networks and one sink module, A decision networks deployed on the agents ai, i=1, 2, . . . , A, of the sensor nodes, the sink module deployed on the sink node n0. The decision network obtains a probability vector according to its local observation and position vectors. The sink module calculates a routing for each sensor node according the probability vectors of A decision networks and sends the routings to corresponding sensor nodes. A multi-agent deep reinforcement learning algorithm is adopted to train the decision networks of A agents ai, i=1, 2, . . . , A of the cooperative routing decision system, deploys the to-be-deployed wireless sensor network into an environment and updates the routing policy of the deployed wireless sensor network at each update cycle of routing.

Abstract: An electrowetting device and a method of electrowetting may be provided. An electrode may be provided. The electrode has a graphene layer having a first side and a second side that opposes the first side. The electrode also has a dielectric layer disposed on the first side of the graphene layer. A liquid droplet is disposed on the dielectric layer. A voltage is applied through the droplet and the electrode. A contact angle between the dielectric layer and an edge of the liquid droplet contacting the dielectric layer changes in response to the applied voltage.
