Abstract: In a method, a main control virtual character is displayed in a world scene. A first battle character is subordinate to the main control virtual character.

The one of the one or more battle characters is controlled to engage in the turn-based battle scene based on the battle attribute of the one of the one or more battle characters.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a vehicle fuzzy feedforward path tracking control method based on hydraulic steering leakage compensation. The method comprises: acquiring the steering wheel angle, wheel angle, and piston rod displacement; outputting desired wheel and steering wheel angles in different cycles using a path tracking algorithm; obtaining a feedforward leakage compensation parameter via fuzzy control; constructing a fuzzy control system; defuzzifying it using the centroid method to yield a fuzzy sliding mode controller; comparing the actual rear wheel angle; and controlling a compensation solenoid valve to replenish fluid each cycle. These steps are repeated for subsequent cycles until the path tracking process is complete. The method precisely determines the feedforward compensation parameter, thus accurately controlling the solenoid valve's duty cycle to timely compensate for leakage and enhance the path tracking accuracy of intelligent vehicles.

Abstract: In an example embodiment, an embedding model is used to generate an embedding of a natural language searching goal specified by a user, the embedding representing user intent of the user. Playbooks in a database of playbooks are also run through the embedding model to generate an embedding for each playbook indicative of a meaning of each playbook.
