Title: An apparatus, computer-implemented method and computer program
Inventor: Malgorzata Kamedula
IPC: B25J9/16
Filed: 2021-04-14
Abstract: An apparatus 2 and computer method to receive from a passive controller 12 a control command defining a desired pose of an end effector of a robotic instrument 22 having multiple joints. From the control command, determine joint parameters for the joints using one or more inverse kinematics algorithms such that the end effector mimics the desired pose as closely as possible within a constrained environment, and generate commands to reconfigure the joints accordingly when motion is required. The inverse kinematics implementation calculates an end effector pose using an initial set of joint parameters, compares the calculated pose with the desired pose to determine a tracking error, reiterates the calculating and comparing steps for further sets of joint parameters, and identifies the calculated pose with the smallest tracking error as a new global solution only if the tracking error is smaller than that associated with the current pose.

Title: Continuous network slicing in a 5G cellular communications network via a delayed deep deterministic policy gradient
Inventor: CHRISTOS VERYKOUKIS
IPC: H04W24/02
Filed: 2021-06-09
Abstract: Delayed deep deterministic policy gradient (DDPG) based continuous network slicing defines at least two network slices in a central unit (CU) of a 5G network, and at different time steps identifies a state of each slice, determines from a reinforced learning policy of a critic model and an actor policy assigned to the slices a scaling operation allocating different computing resources to corresponding virtual network functions (VNFs) in the CU for the slice based upon the state. The scaling operation is applied to the CU, and a cost outcome is monitored. The outcome is compared to a pre-determined optimal outcome. Thereafter, gradients are computed for each of the actor and critic models accounting for a maximized reward based upon a difference between the outcomes. The gradient for the actor policy is applied at a less frequent rate over time than the application of the gradient for the critic model.

Title: Time consistency synchronization method for distributed simulation
Inventor: YINGFEI ZAN
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 2021-01-15
Abstract: A time consistency synchronisation method for a distributed simulation is taught, and in particular a time synchronisation of computer co-simulations. According to the time consistency synchronisation method, a most appropriate master clock is selected, for example by using a voting method, and then other clocks in a network are controlled to synchronise by using the master clock, so that the consistency of data of each node and time-related event in time logic is ensured. Even if a certain simulation node goes down, influences on the other links of whole system are relatively small, which can effectively preform decentration, ensure the time consistency to the greatest extent, and ensure the correctness and the scale of a whole distributed system.
