Evolving Machine Learning: A Survey

In an era defined by rapid data evolution, traditional machine learning (ML) models often fall short in adapting to dynamic environments. Evolving Machine Learning (EML) has emerged as a critical paradigm, enabling continuous learning and adaptation in real-time data streams. This survey presents a comprehensive analysis of EML, focusing on five core challenges: data drift, concept drift, catastrophic forgetting, skewed learning, and network adaptation. We systematically review over 120 studies, categorizing state-of-the-art methods across supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised approaches. The survey explores diverse evaluation metrics, benchmark datasets, and real-world applications, offering a comparative lens on the effectiveness and limitations of current techniques. Additionally, we highlight the growing role of adaptive neural architectures, meta-learning, and ensemble strategies in addressing evolving data complexities. By synthesizing insights from recent literature, this work not only maps the current landscape of EML but also identifies critical gaps and opportunities for future research. Our findings aim to guide researchers and practitioners in developing robust, ethical, and scalable EML systems for real-world deployment.

A Robust and Energy-Efficient Trajectory Planning Framework for High-Degree-of-Freedom Robots

Energy efficiency and motion smoothness are essential in trajectory planning for high-degree-of-freedom robots to ensure optimal performance and reduce mechanical wear. This paper presents a novel framework integrating sinusoidal trajectory generation with velocity scaling to minimize energy consumption while maintaining motion accuracy and smoothness. The framework is evaluated using a physics-based simulation environment with metrics such as energy consumption, motion smoothness, and trajectory accuracy. Results indicate significant energy savings and smooth transitions, demonstrating the framework's effectiveness for precision-based applications. Future work includes real-time trajectory adjustments and enhanced energy models.
