The households are assumed to be equipped with distributed energy resources (electric vehicle, energy storage system, photovoltaic panel) besides the grid. The model is established to shift major loads and to allow energy exchangeability among the households. The common objective is to minimize the total electricity costs by maximizing local energy usage at the household and neighborhood levels. A noncooperative game-theoretic model, combined with a mixed-integer-programming model, is developed to satisfy the neighbor-hood's economic and energetic needs. The neighborhood's total electricity costs are reduced using the proposed method, and it is verified through simulation results.","PeriodicalId":212910,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR)","volume":"43 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120836570","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}

However, as we would like to constantly raise standards of safety and efficiency of transportation by automated driving, simple imitation of human driving seems not to be good enough. In this paper, we present a method for learning a baseline agent represented as a neural network, which is responsible for planning the behaviour of an automated car, based on a set of expert demonstrations. We show that imitation learning could be a promising way for achieving initial policy, which is almost as effective as human. The generated policy could be then fine-tuned by the reinforcement learning methods. We show that such an approach suits well for an automated driving task and allows faster training of the RL-based artificial driver.","PeriodicalId":212910,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121090443","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 make simulations reliable, high-fidelity sensor models are required. One of the approaches is to implement a generic sensor model that explicitly emulates the output of an object detection algorithm, based on high-level simulation data. However, such a model has to accurately handle object-based occlusions, to assure that shadowed objects are not detected. Various generic sensor models available in the literature already solve the problem of how to estimate occlusions, given a set of objects. Nevertheless, none of the models takes into account a road profile, i.e. hills. The method proposed in this paper provides an accurate and easy to implement road profile estimation using a set of bounding boxes. Thanks to the generated structures, a road-based shadowing can be enabled in any of the object-based generic sensor models. The obtained results clearly show the robustness and usefulness of the proposed methodology.","PeriodicalId":212910,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126860010","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 fusion results are more accurate and reliable than the measurement from the single sensor alone, and this is used to design an advanced control system. Unscented Kalmar Filter (UKF) is the choice of fusion method because it gives better performance in dealing with nonlinear systems and deals with white and color Gaussian noise. The presented novel measurement and control system gives accurate shape and deflection of the fixed-wing, which will be used to calculate the aerodynamic performance. The DDVS was verified in extensive experiments with the system installed in the wind tunnel. The objective of experiments conducted was to determine the wing's deflection in flight parameters' function.

The idea behind the presented map server is that it maintains the 3D map by subsequent merging of received partial maps. The solution can be applied to distributed systems where each robot have its own map server instance and maintains a separate map instance. On the other side, in centralized robots systems, it can be one map server instance which integrates partial maps from robots, creates the common map and propagates it to the robots. The process of adding incoming maps consists of few steps. The first one is called a global alignment and is based on the feature extraction, description and matching with the assumption that the maps have an overlapping area. Then, the solution from the first step is used as the initial solution in the next step and it is corrected with a local alignment method. The last step is the data merging to obtain one, globally consistent model in the octree based representation. The presented solution was verified in the experiment with a group of wheeled robots - Turtlebots.","PeriodicalId":212910,"journal":{"name":"2021 25th International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128328959","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}
