It is called the Genetic Bees Algorithm because it has genetic operators. The structure of the GBA compared to the basic BA has two extra components namely, a Reinforced Global Search and a Jumping Function. The main advantage of adding the genetic operators to BA is that it will help the algorithm to avoid getting stuck in local optima. In this study the scheduling problem of a single machine was considered. When the basic BA was applied to solve this problem its performance was affected by its weakness in conducting global search to explore the search space. However, in most cases the proposed GBA overcame this issue due to the two new components which have been introduced.","PeriodicalId":196519,"journal":{"name":"2014 World Automation Congress (WAC)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114674921","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}

It is relatively simple to implement and generally uses rotational motion from the drive through to the propeller. However, it is difficult to seal a high speed propeller shaft from water ingress. As an alternative we can look at nature's own underwater inhabitants and study their locomotive methods. The fish species provides us with a wide variation of fin and body locomotive methods. The fin motion in all species is predominately undulating with varying wavelengths and is particularly defined in the stingray species. The purpose of this project was to undertake the various stages that involved producing a biomimetic robotic platform that mimics the two undulating horizontal fins of a stingray. The robot possesses the necessary flexibility to enable complex motions but through the use of simple servos, linkages and a microcontroller is itself not a complex design. The range of motion available for the robot in this paper is similarly limited to those of solidly linked fins. However, the opportunity to develop more complex motion is now available. Control strategies and modified radial displacements can be easily implemented in this design.","PeriodicalId":196519,"journal":{"name":"2014 World Automation Congress (WAC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120984841","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}

The gap area of the interdigitated band array (IDA) electrode was modified with anti-CD33 antibody. Human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60) which express CD33 surface antigen were accumulated on the surface in the gap area between both bands of the IDA electrode by negative DEP (n-DEP). Switching of the applied voltage of the band electrode brought about the removal of accumulated cells to form another pattern due to the formation of the different pattern of the electric field in the device. The modification with the antibody inhibits the removal of the cells with specific surface antigen due to the irreversible capture with immunoreactions during the first pattern formation. Therefore, we should discriminate the cells with specific antigen from the cell remained on the gap area. The time required for the assay was substantially short, 60 s for forcing and 60 s for the separation of unbounded cells. Furthermore, the present method does not require pretreatment such as target labeling or washing of unbound cells.","PeriodicalId":196519,"journal":{"name":"2014 World Automation Congress (WAC)","volume":"2004 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128291969","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}

The speed control is developed on the mathematical model based on the well known (d; q) field oriented frame. The super-twisting algorithm is a second order sliding mode controller that allows the rejection of the chattering phenomena while maintaining the robustness of the control. The anti-windup is a technique to handle with the pure-integrator saturation phenomenon, which may lead to instability and low performance in real-time control implementation. By using a Lyapunov function, the closed-loop stability of the system is demonstrated. The control law is implemented on an Digital Signal Processor (DSP) TMS320F2812.

These activities were stronger with pleasant stimuli over all areas compared with the baseline period. In addition, decreased alpha1 band non-phase-locked activity was shown at 600-1000 ms in the pleasant and around 800-1000 ms in the unpleasant stimuli over the occipital cluster.

In this paper, a novel potential field-based particle swarm optimization (PPSO) approach is applied for a team of mobile robots to cooperatively search for and reach targets in completely unknown environments. The target locations are unknown, where the robots explore the area and find the targets in a reasonable and effective way. The potential field function is the fitness function of the PSO, which is used to evaluate the exploration priority of the unknown area. The cooperation rules are defined in the proposed approach to lead the multi-robot system to explore the unknown environment. In addition, the district-difference degree and dynamic parameter tuning is added in the improved PPSO approach (IPPSO) to help the multi-robot system to complete complex tasks. The parameter setting is discussed in the simulation studies, and the effects of the parameter tuning is demonstrated by the experiment results.","PeriodicalId":196519,"journal":{"name":"2014 World Automation Congress (WAC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129215504","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}

Employing a system-of-systems approach allows the designer to focus on not only the individual aspects but also their interconnection to form a unified whole. The use of SOMPA Core Modeling is a viable strategy for applying the SoS approach to complex system design. The objective of this paper is to illustrate its salient features through a case study, that is, the design of an aircraft landing gear. Using a system of systems approach, one is able to identify design criteria that must be followed if the landing gear is to perform as should reasonably be expected. It is important to note that the design, in addition to the physical and control elements, includes operational procedures and maintenance processes as integral elements. Information from this SOMPA core modeling may be used in a systematic design optimization process through, for example, knowledge amplification.","PeriodicalId":196519,"journal":{"name":"2014 World Automation Congress (WAC)","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114216809","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}

The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system generally describes nonlinear systems by employing local linear system representations, while a generalized fuzzy system to be considered in this paper describes even a wider class of nonlinear systems by representing locally nonlinear systems. For such a generalized system, a design method of a stabilizing output feedback controller is proposed by introducing a new class of non-PDC controllers. Non-PDC controller is a generalized controller of PDC one, which is a traditional fuzzy controller. Our stabilizing controller design conditions are given in terms of a set of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs), which are easily numerically solvable. A relaxation method is used to reduce the conservatism of design conditions. An observer, which estimates the state of the system using available information on the system, is also constructed. Then, we show that the separation principle holds, and an output feedback controller is obtained by combining the state feedback controller and observer. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate our nonlinear control design and to show the effectiveness over other existing results.","PeriodicalId":196519,"journal":{"name":"2014 World Automation Congress (WAC)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125459959","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}
