To address these challenges, a self-triggered distributed economic model predictive control (SDEMPC) algorithm with a distributed disturbance observer is proposed for the platoon system. First, a distributed disturbance observer is introduced to actively alleviate the negative effects of disturbances. To ensure adherence to physical constraints, a tightened control input constraint is derived from disturbance estimation information. Next, a dual-layer optimization problem with robustness and tracking stability constraints is formulated for the disturbance-compensated platoon system. On this basis, the fuel economy can be improved while achieving the desired platoon formation.

In this paper, a generalized fuzzy hyperbolic model is employed for solving fuzzy optimal control problems, under the granular differentiability concept. Due to the characteristics of fewer identification parameters, GFHM can simplify the complexity of traditional ship fuzzy models. At the first step, we consider the granular Euler–Lagrange conditions for fuzzy variational problems and Pontryagin’s maximum principle for fixed and free final states of fuzzy optimal control problems, based on the ideas of horizontal membership function and granular differentiability via the calculus of variations. The necessary optimality conditions for these problems are derived in the form of two-point boundary value problems. Here, for the first time, generalized fuzzy hyperbolic models are used to approximate the solutions of the related two-point boundary value problems. This fuzzy hyperbolic models uses of the number of sample points as the training dataset, and the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is selected as the optimizer. By relying on the ability of the generalized fuzzy hyperbolic models as function approximator, the fuzzy solutions of variables are substituted in the related two-point boundary value problem. The obtained algebraic nonlinear equations system is then reduced into an error function minimization problem. A learning scheme based on the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is employed as the optimizer to derive the adjustable parameters of fuzzy solutions.

As LLM performance continues to improve, the Industrial Image Anomaly Detection Report Generation (IADRG) task may emerge as a new challenge in the future. In this paper, we define the IADRG task as a deeper image understanding task and propose a solution for it.

Additionally, we utilize mixed semantic pre-training of general and industrial image data to strengthen the model's ability to understand abnormal content in industrial anomaly detection tasks. Furthermore, our model leverages SAM's pixel-level feature parsing ability to integrate a prompt zero-shot industrial anomaly segmentation method into report generation.

It is proven that the path tracking errors diminish to zero as the yaw angle aligns with the desired yaw angle. Based on the system model and control objectives, a composite model-free sliding mode control scheme is proposed. This strategy employs a non-singular terminal sliding mode control law to stabilize the control error. Furthermore, a high-order fast terminal sliding mode observer is incorporated to address system parameter uncertainty and external disturbance, with the estimated values utilized in the proposed controller.
