Abstract For the first time, a configurable NbOx memristor is achieved that can be configured as an artificial synapse or neuron after fabrication by controlling the forming compliance current (FCC). When the FCC ≤ 2 mA, the memristors exhibit the resistive‐switching (RS) property, enabling multiple types of synaptic plasticity, including short‐term potentiation, paired‐pulse facilitation, short‐term memory, and long‐term memory. When the FCC ≥ 3 mA, the memristors can be electroformed and exhibit the threshold switching (TS) property with excellent endurance (>1012), thus achieving various biological neuron characteristics, such as threshold‐triggering, strength‐modulation of spike frequency, and leaky integrate‐and‐fire. This enables the successful implementation of a spiking Pavlov's dog that employs the spikes as information carrier by connecting an RS NbOx memristor as artificial synapse and a TS memristor as artificial neuron in series. Furthermore, a fully NbOx memristors‐based single‐layer spiking neural network is simulated. It is first found that, due to the forgetting property of synapse, the recognition accuracy for the Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology handwritten digits is increased from 85.49% to 91.45%. This study provides a solid foundation for the development of neuromorphic machines based on the principles of the human brain.

With the gradual increase in spacecraft in orbit, space debris monitoring has become the key to the sustainable development of space missions. A staring debris detection method is proposed for high-density stars with long tails. In order to solve the problem that the gray level of a long trailing image is not stable and continuous, rectangular fitting is used to complete the aggregation of the trailing image and reduce the influence of noise on the trailing information. The occluded state of the target was analyzed, the feature calculation method was improved, the semi-occluded scene was statistically classified, the fully connected network (FCN) based finite point feature was accurately classified, and the semi-occluded image was extracted. Based on the extracted semi-occluded image, the inter-frame association can improve the success probability of target association and realize the effective detection and tracking of debris. The detection accuracy was tested for the changing inter-frame interval and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the relationship between the index parameters and key parameters was given. Compared with previous literature, this design can detect and track the occluded target with a detection rate of more than 90% and a false alarm rate of less than 10%.

Optical remote sensing ship target detection has become an essential means of ocean supervision, coastal defense, and frontier defense. Accurate, effective, fast, and real-time remote sensing data processing is the critical technology in this field. This paper proposes a real-time detection algorithm for moving targets in low-resolution wide-area remote sensing images, which includes four steps: pre-screening, simplified HOG feature identification, sequence correlation identification, and facilitated Yolo identification. It can effectively detect and track targets in low-resolution sequence data. Firstly, iterative morphological processing was used to improve the contrast of low-resolution ship target profile edge features compared with the sea surface background. Next, the target area after adaptive segmentation was used to eliminate false alarms. As a result, the invalid background information of extensive comprehensive data was quickly eliminated. Then, support vector machine classification of S-HOG feature was carried out for suspected targets, and interference such as islands and reefs, broken clouds, and waves were eliminated according to the shape characteristics of ship targets. The method of multi-frame data association and searching for adjacent target information between frames was adopted to eliminate the interference of static targets and broken clouds with similar contours. Finally, the sequential marks were further trained and learned, and further false alarm elimination was completed based on the clipped Yolo network. Compared with the traditional Yolo Tiny V2/V3 series network, this method had higher computational speed and better detection performance. The F1 number of detection results was increased by 3%, and the calculation time was reduced by 66%.

Intelligence development has put forward increasing requirements of real-time planning and dynamic feedback in controlling robotic arms. It has become essential in engineering applications to complete the kinematics calculation of complex manipulators in real time. This paper proposes a matrix cascading multiplication equivalent reduced-order parallel computing method for the multiplication of homogeneous matrices in the process of forward and inverse kinematics solutions, which reduces the order of the matrix according to the distribution of zero vectors in the homogeneous matrix calculations. The method removes the unnecessary multiplication in joint homogeneous matrixes containing zero vectors. It obtains the optimal calculation order of the cascade matrix multiplication through dynamic planning searches, improving the efficiency of effective dot product calculation by parallel computation. Calculation processes and specific examples are presented in this paper. Compared with the previous algorithms, the proposed algorithm reduces the calculation cycle by 90%, effectively improving the real-time calculation efficiency in the complex control process.

At present, a large number of scholars have conducted related research on topology optimization for additive manufacturing (AM). However, there are few relevant research reports on the impact of different directions of additive manufacturing on the optimal design and manufacturing results. In this paper, using the bidirectional evolutionary optimization (BESO) method, anisotropic optimization analysis was carried out on space nodes that are currently popular in the field of additive manufacturing and topology optimization. The elastic constants in different directions were used as anisotropic material properties for optimization research in this paper through tensile testing, which was carried out on 316L stainless-steel specimens fabricated using Selective Laser Melting (SLM) technology. In addition, SEM analyses were performed to explore the microscopic appearance of the material. The study found that additive manufacturing is affected by the printing direction in terms of both macroscopic mechanical properties and microscopic material structure; the deformation obtained by anisotropic optimization was about 1.1–2.3% smaller than that obtained by isotropic optimization.
