Development, Simulation and Evaluation of Mobile Wireless Networks in Industrial Applications
(2023)
Manyindustrialautomationsolutionsusewirelesscommunicationandrelyontheavail-
ability and quality of the wireless channel. At the same time the wireless medium is
highly congested and guaranteeing the availability of wireless channels is becoming
increasingly difficult. In this work we show, that ad-hoc networking solutions can be
used to provide new communication channels and improve the performance of mobile
automation systems. These ad-hoc networking solutions describe different communi-
cation strategies, but avoid relying on network infrastructure by utilizing the Peer-to-
Peer (P2P) channel between communicating entities.
This work is a step towards the effective implementation of low-range communication
technologies(e.g. VisibleLightCommunication(VLC), radarcommunication, mmWave
communication) to the industrial application. Implementing infrastructure networks
with these technologies is unrealistic, since the low communication range would neces-
sitate a high number of Access Points (APs) to yield full coverage. However, ad-hoc
networks do not require any network infrastructure. In this work different ad-hoc net-
working solutions for the industrial use case are presented and tools and models for
their examination are proposed.
The main use case investigated in this work are Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
for industrial applications. These mobile devices drive throughout the factory trans-
porting crates, goods or tools or assisting workers. In most implementations they must
exchange data with a Central Control Unit (CCU) and between one another. Predicting
if a certain communication technology is suitable for an application is very challenging
since the applications and the resulting requirements are very heterogeneous.
The proposed models and simulation tools enable the simulation of the complex inter-
action of mobile robotic clients and a wireless communication network. The goal is to
predict the characteristics of a networked AGV fleet.
Theproposedtoolswereusedtoimplement, testandexaminedifferentad-hocnetwork-
ing solutions for industrial applications using AGVs. These communication solutions
handle time-critical and delay-tolerant communication. Additionally a control method
for the AGVs is proposed, which optimizes the communication and in turn increases the
transport performance of the AGV fleet. Therefore, this work provides not only tools
for the further research of industrial ad-hoc system, but also first implementations of
ad-hoc systems which address many of the most pressing issues in industrial applica-
tions.
Machine-Learning-Based Identification of Tumor Entities, Tumor Subgroups, and Therapy Options
(2023)
Molecular genetic analyses, such as mutation analyses, are becoming increasingly important in the tumor field, especially in the context of therapy stratification. The identification of the underlying tumor entity is crucial, but can sometimes be difficult, for example in the case of metastases or the so-called Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) syndrome. In recent years, methylome and transcriptome utilizing machine learning (ML) approaches have been developed to enable fast and reliable tumor and tumor subtype identification. However, so far only methylome analysis have become widely used in routine diagnostics.
The present work addresses the utility of publicly available RNA-sequencing data to determine the underlying tumor entity, possible subgroups, and potential therapy options. Identification of these by ML - in particular random forest (RF) models - was the first task. The results with test accuracies of up to 99% provided new, previously unknown insights into the trained models and the corresponding entity prediction. Reducing the input data to the top 100 mRNA transcripts resulted in a minimal loss of prediction quality and could potentially enable application in clinical or real-world settings.
By introducing the ratios of these top 100 genes to each other as a new database for RF models, a novel method was developed enabling the use of trained RF models on data from other sources.
Further analysis of the transcriptomic differences of metastatic samples by visual clustering showed that there were no differences specific for the site of metastasis. Similarly, no distinct clusters were detectable when investigating primary tumors and metastases of cutaneous skin melanoma (SKCM).
Subsequently, more than half of the validation datasets had a prediction accuracy of at least 80%, with many datasets even achieving a prediction accuracy of – or close to – 100%.
To investigate the applicability of the used methods for subgroup identification, the TCGA-KIPAN dataset, consisting of the three major kidney cancer subgroups, was used. The results revealed a new, previously unknown subgroup consisting of all histopathological groups with clinically relevant characteristics, such as significantly different survival. Based on significant differences in gene expression, potential therapeutic options of the identified subgroup could be proposed.
Concludingly, in exploring the potential applicability of RNA-sequencing data as a basis for therapy prediction, it was shown that this type of data is suitable to predict entities as well as subgroups with high accuracy. Clinical relevance was also demonstrated for a novel subgroup in renal cell carcinoma. The reduction of the number of genes required for entity prediction to 100 genes, enables panel sequencing and thus demonstrates potential applicability in a real-life setting.
Climate models are the tool of choice for scientists researching climate change. Like all models they suffer from errors, particularly systematic and location-specific representation errors. One way to reduce these errors is model output statistics (MOS) where the model output is fitted to observational data with machine learning. In this work, we assess the use of convolutional Deep Learning climate MOS approaches and present the ConvMOS architecture which is specifically designed based on the observation that there are systematic and location-specific errors in the precipitation estimates of climate models. We apply ConvMOS models to the simulated precipitation of the regional climate model REMO, showing that a combination of per-location model parameters for reducing location-specific errors and global model parameters for reducing systematic errors is indeed beneficial for MOS performance. We find that ConvMOS models can reduce errors considerably and perform significantly better than three commonly used MOS approaches and plain ResNet and U-Net models in most cases. Our results show that non-linear MOS models underestimate the number of extreme precipitation events, which we alleviate by training models specialized towards extreme precipitation events with the imbalanced regression method DenseLoss. While we consider climate MOS, we argue that aspects of ConvMOS may also be beneficial in other domains with geospatial data, such as air pollution modeling or weather forecasts.
Three-dimensional capturing of underwater archeological sites or sunken shipwrecks can support important documentation purposes. In this study, a novel 3D scanning system based on structured illumination is introduced, which supports cultural heritage documentation and measurement tasks in underwater environments. The newly developed system consists of two monochrome measurement cameras, a projection unit that produces aperiodic sinusoidal fringe patterns, two flashlights, a color camera, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and an electronic control box. The opportunities and limitations of the measurement principles of the 3D scanning system are discussed and compared to other 3D recording methods such as laser scanning, ultrasound, and photogrammetry, in the context of underwater applications. Some possible operational scenarios concerning cultural heritage documentation are introduced and discussed. A report on application activities in water basins and offshore environments including measurement examples and results of the accuracy measurements is given. The study shows that the new 3D scanning system can be used for both the topographic documentation of underwater sites and to generate detailed true-scale 3D models including the texture and color information of objects that must remain under water.
