Here, we simulated two hexarotors: a fully-actuated one that maintains level its attitude, and therefore that of the visual sensors; and an under-actuated one. Both vehicles were meant to fly forwards in a tunnel while reacting to the irregularities of the terrain, adopting a bee-like behavior based on a nonlinear optic flow regulation. The dynamic models are provided by means of the Newton-Euler equations, nonetheless, the unit quaternion representation is used for a suitable treatment of the rotational motion. The attitude stabilization depends on the knowledge of the quaternion itself, moreover, and due to the non-linearities related to the translational optic flows, visual guidance relies on the implementation of adaptive integral sliding mode controllers to accomplish a triple direct regulation (forward, side and lift commands). We compared both vehicles performance using detailed numerical simulations, validating the concept that a fully actuated hexarotor permits to improve the optic flow based navigation task.","PeriodicalId":220845,"journal":{"name":"2022 26th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117158091","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 control solution to this problem includes two functionalities: the hardware level of operation, detection, and communication, and the second level, software, which consists of advanced surveillance algorithms for the environment and the implementation of control algorithms. This paper aims to develop and implement an algorithm to compute the maximum velocity of a vehicle on a certain road sector. Linear mathematical models describing the operation of the vehicle were used emphasizing the two dynamics, longitudinal and lateral, respectively. The velocity adjustment solution is based on the model predictive control strategy that ensures good performances. As a reference to the process, several types of trajectories were considered based on which it was possible to calculate the velocity at each point. In this way, the velocity has been adapted accordingly, taking the maximum value necessary to achieve a safe movement along the road.","PeriodicalId":220845,"journal":{"name":"2022 26th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"439 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122122969","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}

Being an analysis that depends entirely on the expertise of the medical professional who performs it, it can be improved by artificial methods. Deep learning has been successfully applied in the field of medical imaging and also in the classification of cervical lesions. In the presented paper, a set of convolutional networks for deep learning was used, consisting of a network with residues and a dense network, pre-trained on an extensive database and applied to a limited dataset.

Two state observers are implemented, an Extended Kalman Filter and a High Gain Observer, to reconstruct the full system state from the available measurements. Simulation results are presented for two scenarios: i) biomass, glucose and ethanol concentrations are measured; ii) only biomass concentration is measured. Only for the first scenario uniform observability could be established with the employed method.

The typical path generation algorithm is extended to deliver the right guidance to pedestrians with mobility problems.

To achieve our goal, we construct a sensitivity analysis model and apply it to some commonly used semantic segmentation CNN architectures (PSPNet, ICNet, DeepLabV3) across a couple types of image degradations. Extrapolating the results we obtain would allow for estimating various CNN models performance for new domains comprised by images of lower quality (captured with different types of camera or light conditions).

Therefore, it will also interconnect billions of smart devices autonomously, while ensuring security, coverage, and reliability. The scope of this paper is to analyze the effect of communication distance for 5G networks. Specifically, we evaluated the performance of 5G communication between an user equipment (UE) and a 5G base station (gNb) in a dense urban area from the city of Iasi, Romania, which are at different distances from each other, such as 100 m, 200 m, 300 m, and 400 m. A practical approach was chosen to perform the measurements, using SIM8200EA-M2 module for the communication with gNB. In order to see how distance can affect the performance of the 5G network, a number of performance indicators relevant to 5G communication were analyzed, such as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), Signal to Interference Noise Ratio (SINR), and jitter. As expected, the results illustrate a decrease of 5G performances with an increase of the distance between the UE and the gNB.","PeriodicalId":220845,"journal":{"name":"2022 26th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114201758","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}

Additionally, a rising variety of electric comfort elements increases the complexity of the automotive power network (APN). In order to address these challenges, we propose a modular and flexible power network management based on auction theory for modern vehicular architectures. The approach facilitates the effortless integration of new components in the APN. Furthermore, by the combination with a service-oriented architecture (SOA) communication paradigm, the algorithm is safe for a single electronic control unit failure. In this contribution, we elaborate the SOA communication within the load management and define a procedure to handle switching loads. The effectiveness of the approach is demonstrated with simulations considering an exemplary APN with constraints in the power electronics.","PeriodicalId":220845,"journal":{"name":"2022 26th International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115830024","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}
