The objective of the agents in the social system is to optimize the social cost, which is the sum of the costs of all the agents. By the variational method, the social optimal problem is analyzed, and the equivalent robust optimal control problems are obtained for each agent. The decentralized strategies are obtained by solving the auxiliary problem with the mean field approximation, and the asymptotic social optimality is proved under mild conditions. The above results are applied into opinion dynamics, and all opinions are shown to converge to the mean opinion in probability.","PeriodicalId":130891,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129621564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we use a two-segment biomechanical model of the subject to investigate postural stability and control during the balancing task on slackline. The assumed model has three degree of freedom (DoF), including slackline displacement, body orientation, and the arm rotation that also generates the stabilizing torque. We assume vestibular sensing of the body rotation rate and emulate a neural estimator in the brain that reconstructs the missing state variables. We employ linear matrix inequality (LMI) framework to design the controller-estimator to stabilize the proposed biomechanical model. The nonlinear model is then simulated to ensure postural stability during the execution of balancing task over slackline.","PeriodicalId":130891,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128713902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, we analyze the stability of the coordination tasks by using Lyapunov method and small-gain theorem. Moreover, we figure out that the shrinkage of the formation scale is according to exponential law and also provide the estimates of the tightening rate.

To evaluate the designed tuning strategy, a visual servoing architecture with an eye-in-hand configuration has been considered. The experimental results showed that the proposed tuning algorithm based on prediction model has a stable and convergent behavior when dealing with visual servoing applications.

DCSA achieves the balance between local and global solutions via Lévy flights in the search space. At the same time, it avoids falling into local optimal solution. Considering the heterogeneity and resource constraints of UAVs, the multi-heterogeneous UAVs cooperative reconnaissance task planning model has been established, which is based on the evaluation criteria of total investigative revenue and the longest time consumption of UAV. Meanwhile, the UAV-task combination sequence is constructed. Therefore, the task planning problem is transformed into Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP). With the aid of DCSA, the task planning problem is simplified effectively. As the result in simulation shows, the improved DCSA can effectively solve this problem.","PeriodicalId":130891,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA)","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123486614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To obtain accurate gait parameters, it is necessary to study the contact states of the heel and the toe against the ground during walking, that is, Heel Strike (HS) and Toe Off (TO), which are the basis for dividing the starting point of gait and calculating the characteristic parameters such as gait period. This paper will present a new zero-crossing gait detection method based on a single accelerometer by attaching the accelerometer to the chest of the subject and collecting the triaxial acceleration data when the subject is walking. Equal ripple Finite Impulse Response (EFIR) band pass filter is adopted for data preprocessing, so that the characteristics of zero point in the signal is more obvious. The zero crossing method is used to detect HS, TO and other gait events, then the related gait temporal parameters are calculated. The parameters are compared with the gait parameters calculation system using lower limb motion capture device. The results show that the proposed method can achieve high PPV (Positive Predictive Values).","PeriodicalId":130891,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127708333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
