The transition toward sustainable and resilient new-type power systems requires robust diagnostic frameworks for terminal power supply units to ensure continuous grid stability. To ensure the resilience of modern power systems, this paper proposes a multi-source domain deep Transfer Learning method for the abnormal condition diagnosis of low-voltage distribution nodes within a cloud-edge collaborative framework. This approach integrates feature selection based on the Categorical Boosting (CatBoost) algorithm with a hybrid architecture combining a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and a Residual Network (ResNet). Additionally, it utilizes a multi-loss adaptation strategy consisting of Multi-Kernel Maximum Mean Difference (MK-MMD), Local Maximum Mean Difference (LMMD), and Mean Squared Error (MSE) to effectively bridge domain gaps and ensure diagnostic consistency. By balancing global commonality with local adaptation, the framework optimizes resource efficiency, reducing collaborative training time by 19.3%. Experimental results confirm that the method effectively prevents equipment failure, achieving diagnostic accuracies of 98.29% for low-voltage anomalies and 88.96% for three-phase imbalance conditions.

Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) models often suffer from significant performance degradation when deployed across different households and datasets, primarily because of distribution discrepancies. To address this challenge, this study proposes an adversarial hierarchical distribution alignment unsupervised domain adaptation network for nonintrusive load disaggregation. The network aims to reduce the distribution divergence between the source and target domains in both the feature and label spaces, enabling effective adaptation to transfer learning scenarios in which the source domain has limited labeled data and the target domain has abundant unlabeled data. The proposed method integrates adversarial training with a hierarchical distribution alignment strategy that uses Correlation Alignment (CORAL) to align global marginal distributions. It employs Multi-Kernel Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MK-MMD) to constrain the conditional distributions of individual appliances, thereby enhancing cross-domain generalization. Extensive experiments on three public datasets demonstrate that, in both in-domain and cross-domain settings, the proposed method consistently reduces Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Signal Aggregation Error (SAE), outperforming baseline approaches in cross-domain generalization.

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a paradigm for next-generation smart grids, enabling autonomous decision-making, adaptive coordination, and resilient control in complex cyber–physical environments. Unlike traditional AI models, which are typically static predictors or offline optimizers, agentic AI systems perceive grid states, reason about goals, plan multi-step actions, and interact with operators in real time. This review presents the latest advances in agentic AI for power systems, including architectures, multi-agent control strategies, reinforcement learning frameworks, digital twin optimization, and physics-based control approaches. The synthesis is based on new literature sources to provide an aggregate of techniques that fill the gap between theoretical development and practical implementation. The main application areas studied were voltage and frequency control, power quality improvement, fault detection and self-healing, coordination of distributed energy resources, electric vehicle aggregation, demand response, and grid restoration. We examine the most effective agentic AI techniques in each domain for achieving operational goals and enhancing system reliability. A systematic evaluation is proposed based on criteria such as stability, safety, interpretability, certification readiness, and interoperability for grid codes, as well as being ready to deploy in the field. This framework is designed to help researchers and practitioners evaluate agentic AI solutions holistically and identify areas in which more research and development are needed. The analysis identifies important opportunities, such as hierarchical architectures of autonomous control, constraint-aware learning paradigms, and explainable supervisory agents, as well as challenges such as developing methodologies for formal verification, the availability of benchmark data, robustness to uncertainty, and building human operator trust. This study aims to provide a common point of reference for scholars and grid operators alike, giving detailed information on design patterns, system architectures, and potential research directions for pursuing the implementation of agentic AI in modern power systems.

The current intrusion detection methods suffer from deficiencies in terms of cross-domain adaptability, privacy preservation, and limited effectiveness in detecting minority-class attacks. To address these issues, a novel intrusion detection model framework, TrMulS, is proposed that integrates federated learning, generative adversarial networks with multispace feature enhancement ability, and transformers with multi-source transfer ability. First, at each institution (source domain), local spatial features are extracted through a CNN, multiple subsets are constructed (to solve the feature singularity problem), and the multihead self-attention mechanism of the transformer is utilized to capture the correlation of features. Second, the synthetic samples of the target domain are generated on the basis of the improved Exchange-GAN, and the cross-domain transfer module is designed by combining the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) to minimize the feature distribution difference between the source domain and the target domain. Finally, the federated transfer learning strategy is adopted. The model parameters of each local institution are encrypted and uploaded to the target server and then aggregated to generate the global model. These steps iterate until convergence, yielding the globally optimal model. Experiments on the ISCX2012, KDD99 and NSL-KDD intrusion detection standard datasets show that the detection accuracy of this method is significantly improved in cross-domain scenarios. This paper presents a novel paradigm for cross-domain security intelligence analysis that considers efficiency, privacy and balance. Full article

Land seismic data are always contaminated by surface waves, which demonstrate strong energy, low velocity, and long vibrations. Such noises often mask deep effective reflections, seriously reducing the data’s signal-to-noise ratio while limiting the imaging accuracy of complex deep structures and the efficiency of hydrocarbon reservoir identification. To address this critical technical bottleneck, this paper proposes a surface wave joint reconstruction method based on stationary phase analysis, combining the cross-correlation seismic interferometry method with the convolutional seismic interferometry method. This approach integrates cross-correlation and convolutional seismic interferometry techniques to achieve coordinated reconstruction of surface waves in both shot and receiver domains while introducing adaptive weight factors to optimize the reconstruction process and reduce interference from erroneous data. As a purely data-driven framework, this method does not rely on underground medium velocity models, achieving efficient noise reduction by adaptively removing reconstructed surface waves through multi-channel matched filtering. Application validation with field seismic data from the piedmont regions of western China demonstrates that this method effectively suppresses high-energy surface waves, significantly restores effective signals, improves the signal-to-noise ratio of seismic data, and greatly enhances the clarity of coherent events in stacked profiles. This study provides a reliable technical approach for noise reduction in seismic data under complex near-surface conditions, particularly suitable for hydrocarbon exploration in regions with developed scattering sources such as mountainous areas in western China. It holds significant practical application value and broad dissemination potential for advancing deep hydrocarbon resource exploration and improving the quality of complex structural imaging.

Semantic segmentation of transmission-line point clouds is fundamental to intelligent power inspection and grid asset management, as segmentation accuracy directly influences defect detection and facility assessment tasks. However, transmission-line point clouds collected across different voltage levels often show significant variations in density and geometric structure due to heterogeneous LiDAR sensors and flight configurations. Combined with the high cost of large-scale manual annotation, these factors limit the scalability of existing supervised segmentation methods. To overcome these challenges, we propose a geometry-consistency-guided unsupervised domain adaptation framework tailored for cross-voltage transmission-line point-cloud segmentation. The framework employs KPConvX as the backbone and integrates three progressive components. First, a geometric consistency constraint enhances robustness to spatial variations and enables extraction of structural features invariant across voltage levels. Second, a domain feature alignment module reduces distribution shifts through global feature transformation. Third, a minimum-entropy-based pseudo-label refinement strategy improves the reliability of pseudo-labels during self-training. Experiments on a multi-voltage transmission-line dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. With the KPConvX backbone, the framework achieves 66.1% mean Intersection over Union (mIoU) and 94.3% overall accuracy on the unlabeled 110 kV target domain, exceeding the source-only baseline by 15.6% mIoU and outperforming several state-of-the-art UDA methods. This work provides an efficient, annotation-friendly solution for cross-voltage point-cloud segmentation and offers a promising direction for domain adaptation in complex power-grid environments.

Agricultural robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming essential to building more sustainable, efficient, and resilient food systems. As climate change, food security pressures, and labour shortages intensify, the integration of intelligent technologies in agriculture has gained strategic importance. This systematic review provides a consolidated assessment of AI and robotics research in agriculture from 2000 to 2025, identifying major trends, methodological trajectories, and underexplored domains. A structured search was conducted in the Scopus database—which was selected for its broad coverage of engineering, computer science, and agricultural technology—and records were screened using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria across title, abstract, keywords, and eligibility levels. The final dataset was analysed through descriptive statistics and science-mapping techniques (VOSviewer, SciMAT). Out of 4894 retrieved records, 3673 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included. As with all bibliometric reviews, the synthesis reflects the scope of indexed publications and available metadata, and potential selection bias was mitigated through a multi-stage screening workflow. The analysis revealed four dominant research themes: deep-learning-based perception, UAV-enabled remote sensing, data-driven decision systems, and precision agriculture. Several strategically relevant but underdeveloped areas also emerged, including soft manipulation, multimodal sensing, sim-to-real transfer, and adaptive autonomy. Geographical patterns highlight a strong concentration of research in China and India, reflecting agricultural scale and investment dynamics. Overall, the field appears technologically mature in perception and aerial sensing but remains limited in physical interaction, uncertainty-aware control, and long-term autonomous operation. These gaps indicate concrete opportunities for advancing next-generation AI-driven robotic systems in agriculture. Funding sources are reported in the full manuscript. Full article

The rapid integration of renewable energy sources and increasing complexity of modern power grids demand advanced forecasting tools capable of simultaneously predicting multiple interconnected variables. While time series foundation models (TSFMs) have demonstrated remarkable zero-shot forecasting capabilities across diverse domains, their application in power grid operations remains limited due to complex coupling relationships between load, price, emissions, and renewable generation. This paper proposes GridFM, a novel physics-informed foundation model specifically designed for multi-task energy forecasting in power systems. GridFM introduces four key innovations: (1) a FreqMixer adaptation layer that transforms pre-trained foundation model representations to power-grid-specific patterns through frequency domain mixing without modifying base weights; (2) a physics-informed constraint module embedding power balance equations and zonal grid topology using graph neural networks; (3) a multi-task learning framework enabling joint forecasting of load demand, locational-based marginal prices (LBMP), carbon emissions, and renewable generation with uncertainty-weighted loss functions; and (4) an explainability module utilizing SHAP values and attention visualization for interpretable predictions. We validate GridFM using over 10 years of real-time data from the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) at 5 min resolution, comprising more than 10 million data points across 11 load zones. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate that GridFM achieves state-of-the-art performance with an 18.5% improvement in load forecasting MAPE (achieving 2.14%), a 23.2% improvement in price forecasting (achieving 7.8% MAPE), and a 21.7% improvement in emission prediction compared to existing TSFMs including Chronos, TimesFM, and Moirai-MoE. Ablation studies confirm the contribution of each proposed component. The physics-informed constraints reduce physically inconsistent predictions by 67%, while the multi-task framework improves individual task performance by exploiting inter-variable correlations. The proposed model provides interpretable predictions supporting the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act (CLCPA) 2030/2040 compliance objectives, enabling grid operators to make informed decisions for sustainable energy transition and carbon reduction strategies.

Traditional methods of asset management in electric power systems rely upon fixed schedules and reactive measurements, leading to challenges in the transparent prioritization of maintenance under evolving operating conditions and incomplete data. In this paper, we introduce a new, fully integrated artificial intelligence (AI)-driven approach for enhancing the resilience and reliability of open-source asset management tools to support improved performance and decisions in electric power system operations. This methodology addresses and overcomes several significant challenges, including data heterogeneity, algorithmic limitations, and inflexible decision-making, through a three-module workflow. The data fidelity module provides a domain-aware pipeline for identifying structural (missing) values from explicit missingness using sophisticated imputation methods, including Multiple Imputation Chain Equations (MICE) and Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based hybrids. The characterization module employs seven complementary weighting strategies, including PCA, Autoencoder, GA-based optimization, SHAP, Decision-Tree Importance, and Entropy Weighting, to achieve objective feature weight assignment, thereby eliminating the need for subjective manual rules. The optimization module enhanced the action space through multi-objective optimization, balancing reliability maximization and cost minimization. A synthetic dataset of 100 power transformers was used to validate that the MICE achieved better imputation than other methods. The optimized weighting framework successfully categorizes Health Index values into five condition levels, while the multi-objective maintenance policy optimization generates decisions that align with real-world asset management practices. The proposed framework provides the Transmission and Distribution System Operators (TSOs/DSOs) with an adaptable, industry-oriented decision-support workflow system for enhancing reliability, optimizing maintenance expenses, and improving asset management policies for critical power infrastructure.

Background/Objectives: Wearable affective human–computer interaction increasingly relies on sparse-channel EEG signals to ensure comfort and practicality in real-life scenarios. However, the limited information provided by sparse-channel EEG, together with pronounced inter-subject variability, makes reliable cross-subject emotion recognition particularly challenging. Methods: To address these challenges, we propose a cross-subject emotion recognition model, termed TSCL-LwF, based on sparse-channel EEG. It combines a multi-scale convolutional network (TSCL) and an incremental learning strategy with Learning without Forgetting (LwF). Specifically, the TSCL is utilized to capture the spatio-temporal characteristics of sparse-channel EEG, which employs diverse receptive fields of convolutional networks to extract and fuse the interaction information within the local prefrontal area. The incremental learning strategy with LwF introduces a limited set of labeled target domain data and incorporates the knowledge distillation loss to retain the source domain knowledge while enabling rapid target domain adaptation. Results: Experiments on the DEAP dataset show that the proposed TSCL-LwF achieves accuracy of 77.26% for valence classification and 80.12% for arousal classification. Moreover, it also exhibits superior accuracy when evaluated on the self-collected dataset EPPVR. Conclusions: The successful implementation of cross-subject emotion recognition based on a sparse-channel EEG will facilitate the development of wearable EEG technologies with practical applications.

Unmanned helicopters play a critical role in various fields including defense, disaster response, and infrastructure inspection. Military platforms such as the MQ-8C Fire Scout represent high-value assets exceeding $40 million per unit including development costs, particularly when compared to expendable multicopter drones costing approximately $500–2000 per unit. Unexpected failures of these high-value assets can lead to substantial economic losses and mission failures, making the implementation of Health and Usage Monitoring Systems (HUMS) essential. However, the scarcity of failure data in unmanned helicopters presents significant challenges for HUMS development, while the economic feasibility of investing resources comparable to manned helicopter programs remains questionable. This study presents a novel cross-scale transfer learning framework for vibration-based anomaly detection in unmanned helicopters. The framework successfully transfers knowledge from a source domain (Airbus large manned helicopter) using publicly available data to a target domain (Stanford small RC helicopter), achieving excellent anomaly detection performance without labeled target domain data. The approach consists of three key processes. First, we developed a multi-task learning transformer model achieving an F-β score of 0.963 (β = 0.3) using only Airbus vibration data. Second, we applied CORAL (Correlation Alignment) domain adaptation techniques to reduce the distribution discrepancy between source and target domains by 79.7%. Third, we developed a Control Effort Score (CES) based on control input data as a proxy labeling metric for 20 flight maneuvers in the target domain, achieving a Spearman correlation coefficient ρ of 0.903 between the CES and the Anomaly Index measured by the transfer-learned model. This represents a 95.5% improvement compared to the non-transfer learning baseline of 0.462. Full article

Bearing fault diagnosis is essential for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of rotating machinery. However, accurate and timely fault identification with limited data remains a significant challenge. This study proposes a novel node-incremental-based multisource domain adaptation (NiMDA) approach for bearing fault diagnosis. The method employs a cloud model to adaptively extract fault-sensitive information while accounting for uncertainties across multiple wavelet packet decomposition levels. Subsequently, node incremental domain adaptation (NiDA) is used to construct a base classifier utilizing limited labeled data from both target and source domains. This approach reduces discrepancies between marginal and conditional distributions across different domain feature spaces during the node-increment process, resulting in a compact domain-adaptation structure. Robust diagnostic performance is achieved through parallel ensemble learning of NiDAs across multiple source domains. The experimental results demonstrate that NiMDA significantly outperforms state-of-the-art bearing fault diagnosis methods in few-shot scenarios, achieving improvements of 30.52%, 42.31%, 10.31%, 26.08%, 25.59%, and 7.98% over WDCNN, MCNN-LSTM, Bayesian-RF, DM-RVFLN, Five-shot, and ESCN, respectively, while maintaining satisfactory diagnostic speed.

The development of the digital economy has highlighted the important value of geospatial data across numerous domains, with data trading being a pivotal link in activating this value. The current user base engaging in data trading is diverse, while trading platforms encounter problems such as disorganized data management and oversimplified retrieval methods. These concerns lead to inefficient retrieval for users with minimal domain knowledge. To address these complexities, this study proposes an intelligent retrieval method for geospatial data oriented toward data trading. This method establishes a geospatial data knowledge graph based on a standardized ontology model and innovatively utilizes large language models to assess user requirements in data trading. It effectively addresses the problems of standardized management for multi-source heterogeneous geospatial data and the poor adaptability of traditional retrieval methods to the ambiguous requirements of users lacking professional domain knowledge. Thus, it improves the efficiency and universality of geospatial data trading while guaranteeing the semantic interpretability of retrieval results. Experimental results confirm that the proposed method considerably outperforms traditional keyword-based retrieval methods. It exhibits particularly notable performance enhancements in scenarios with ambiguous requirements. This research not only effectively extends management approaches for geospatial data but also strengthens the inclusivity of data trading. Thus, it provides technical support for maximizing the value of geospatial data. Full article

Domain adaptation methods have been extensively studied for rolling bearing fault diagnosis under various conditions. However, some existing methods only consider the one-way embedding of original space into a low-dimensional subspace without backward validation, which leads to inaccurate embeddings of data and poor diagnostic performance. In this paper, a rolling bearing fault diagnosis method based on multi-source domain joint structure preservation transfer with autoencoder (MJSPTA) is proposed. Firstly, similar source domains are screened by inter-domain metrics; then, the high-dimensional data of both the source and target domains are projected into a shared subspace with different projection matrices, respectively, during the encoding stage. Finally, the decoding stage reconstructs the low-dimensional data back to the original high-dimensional space to minimize the reconstruction accuracy. In the shared subspace, the difference between source and target domains is reduced through distribution matching and sample weighting. Meanwhile, graph embedding theory is introduced to maximally preserve the local manifold structure of the samples during domain adaptation. Next, label propagation is used to obtain the predicted labels, and a voting mechanism ultimately determines the fault type. The effectiveness and robustness of the method are verified through a series of diagnostic tests. Full article

The substantial domain discrepancy inherent in multi-source and multi-view imagery presents formidable challenges to achieving precise drone-based multi-view geo-localization. Existing methodologies primarily focus on designing sophisticated backbone architectures to extract view-invariant representations within abstract feature spaces, yet they often overlook the rich and discriminative frequency-domain cues embedded in multi-view data. Inspired by the principles of $\pi$-Noise theory, this paper proposes a frequency-domain Positive-Incentive Information Screening (PIIS) mechanism that adaptively identifies and preserves task-relevant frequency components based on entropy-guided information metrics. This principled approach selectively enhances discriminative spectral signatures while suppressing redundant or noisy components, thereby improving multi-view feature alignment under substantial appearance and geometric variations. The proposed PIIS strategy demonstrates strong architectural generality, as it can be seamlessly integrated into various backbone networks including convolutional-based and Transformer-based architectures while maintaining consistent performance improvements across different models. Extensive evaluations on the University-1652 and SUES-200 datasets have validated the great potential of the proposed method. Specifically, the PIIS-N model achieves a Recall@1 of 94.56% and a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 95.44% on the University-1652 dataset, exhibiting competitive accuracy among contemporary approaches. These findings underscore the considerable promise of frequency-domain analysis in advancing multi-view geo-localization. Full article
