  • Patent number: 11906961
    Abstract: Systems and methods of unmanned vehicles having self-calibrating sensors and actuators are provided. The unmanned vehicle comprises a communication interface and a processor for controlling a propulsion system of the vehicle and receiving sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle. The processor is configured to operate in a guided calibration mode by controlling the propulsion system according to commands received from an external guided control system, while processing the sensor data to determine a degree of certainty on a calibration the sensor data and a position of the vehicle. The processor determines that the degree of certainty is above a threshold value associated with safe operation of the propulsion system in an autonomous calibration mode, and subsequently switch operation of the propulsion system to the autonomous calibration mode based on the determination that the degree of certainty is above the threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20240035988
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a device and method for measuring a correlation between fatigue performance and a microstructure of a one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterial in situ in a transmission electron microscope (TEM), belongs to the technical field of in-situ testing and characterization of microstructures of nanomaterials. The device includes a chip part, a supporting part, and a control circuit. The supporting part is a bracket and a cable disposed on a transmission sample holder, and the circuit part consists of cables connected to the chip and a power supply capable of applying different waveforms, variable voltages, and variable frequencies. This design breaks through a traditional mechanical stress-driven fatigue performance test method, and achieves controllable adjustment of different amplitudes and cycles by using an electric field formed by a voltage and adjusting a voltage size and frequency, such that the 1D nanomaterial vibrates in the electric field to achieve fatigue performance testing.
