Runtime Verification-Based Safe MARL for Optimized Safety Policy Generation for Multi-Robot Systems

The intelligent warehouse is a modern logistics management system that uses technologies like the Internet of Things, robots, and artificial intelligence to realize automated management and optimize warehousing operations. The multi-robot system (MRS) is an important carrier for implementing an intelligent warehouse, which completes various tasks in the warehouse through cooperation and coordination between robots. As an extension of reinforcement learning and a kind of swarm intelligence, MARL (multi-agent reinforcement learning) can effectively create the multi-robot systems in intelligent warehouses. However, MARL-based multi-robot systems in intelligent warehouses face serious safety issues, such as collisions, conflicts, and congestion. To deal with these issues, this paper proposes a safe MARL method based on runtime verification, i.e., an optimized safety policy-generation framework, for multi-robot systems in intelligent warehouses. The framework consists of three stages. In the first stage, a runtime model SCMG (safety-constrained Markov Game) is defined for the multi-robot system at runtime in the intelligent warehouse. In the second stage, rPATL (probabilistic alternating-time temporal logic with rewards) is used to express safety properties, and SCMG is cyclically verified and refined through runtime verification (RV) to ensure safety. This stage guarantees the safety of robots’ behaviors before training. In the third stage, the verified SCMG guides SCPO (safety-constrained policy optimization) to obtain an optimized safety policy for robots. Finally, a multi-robot warehouse (RWARE) scenario is used for experimental evaluation. The results show that the policy obtained by our framework is safer than existing frameworks and includes a certain degree of optimization.

Evaluation of Emergency Contraceptive Pill Use with Health Management Information Systems Data in Pakistan.

According to the WHO, all clients should have access to a range of contraceptive methods, including at least one short-term, one long-term, one permanent, and one emergency method of contraception. While there are data on the contraceptive method mix available for many low- and middle-income countries, there are limited data on emergency contraception (EC). This is likely due to some surveys not routinely collecting this information, how survey questions are asked, dual method use, and/or low levels of reported use of EC pill (ECP). Even with low reported use in surveys, contraceptive social marketing statistics from DKT International. show a trend in recent years of increasing product sales of ECPs. To understand a more complete scope of ECP use, we use Pakistan as a case study and analyze Pakistan's Demographic Health Survey (DHS) surveys and Pakistan's Contraceptives Logistics Management Systems. Based on commodities dispensed data for ECPs in 2021, about 0.4 percent of all married women in Pakistan use ECPs. While there is currently a small proportion of women, it is growing and the use of ECPs is not zero as indicated by the DHS. Therefore, where available, countries should review their health management information systems data alongside survey data for ECP use.

ТЕОРЕТИЧНІ ПІДХОДИ ДО ФОРМУВАННЯ ФІНАНСОВИХ ПОТОКІВ В ЛОГІСТИЧНИХ СИСТЕМАХ

It has been proven that at the current stage of economic development, the efficiency of the movement of goods flows and the effectiveness of the operation of logistics systems depends on the efficiency of the use of financial flows. It is emphasized that this is especially relevant when financial resources are limited in enterprises. This requires primary attention to the analysis of relevant financial flows at the stages of forecasting, organization and control of logistics operations as a basis for planning the movement of material flows, management of flow processes and logistics systems as a whole. According to the research results, it was noted that there is no unambiguous interpretation of the concept of "financial flows" in modern scientific discourse, and the authors use different approaches to define it, considering this definition in both a narrow and a broad sense. It was established that financial flows differ in diversity and heterogeneity. Their main types are summarized in the form of a classification based on such basic features as: relation to a certain logistics system; appointment; the method of transferring the advanced value to the goods; form of calculations, etc. It is noted that this list of classification features is not exhaustive and can be expanded. But the use of a significant number of varieties in the analysis and optimization of the management of flow processes in logistics systems can complicate this activity and cause a decrease in the efficiency of logistics management. The main characteristics of financial flows, which are indicators of the effectiveness of the relationships of the participants in the logistics process and testify to the level of efficiency of the management of financial resources and logistics systems as a whole, have been studied. Among them: the volume and value of the flow; time and its orientation. It is noted that other additional characteristics are determined taking into account the specifics of the enterprise and the importance of a specific financial flow. Attention is focused on the fact that the parameters of financial flows in the logistics system must meet certain requirements that are of interest in the organization of flow processes and their management. Among them: sufficiency; consistency with other types of flow processes in the logistics system; adaptability of financial flow characteristics; creation of conditions for optimization; ensuring the reliability of funding sources, etc.

Research on the influencing factors of traceability information sharing of agricultural product supply chain under the background of blockchain

Increasing customer apprehensions regarding the security and nutritional value of agricultural goods are compelling governments and industries to implement traceable, transparent, and reputable logistics management systems. Blockchain-based agricultural logistics management systems guarantee the permanence of data once it is uploaded but cannot cope with the risk of data being falsified before uploading to the blockchain. In this work, we developed a collaborative game model between government bodies and agricultural enterprises based on the evolutionary game theory and explored the influencing factors of enterprises following the rules to share the real traceability information through numerical simulation using MATLAB. The findings show that government incentives and penalties promote positive behavior, and consumer and media supervision contribute to supply chain transparency, but firms tend to share truthful information only when it benefits them. This study builds upon existing research on the impact of social variables on both members' decision-making behavior. It highlights the positive roles of consumers and the media in the supervision of agricultural product traceability, which can help to raise public awareness of social responsibility and thus promote positive interaction in the market.
