A multi-step predictive strategy is adopted, in which each follower predicts the motion of the leading robot and estimates the relevant information based on the history motion information. The follower keeps formation by observing its leader on the local coordinate system of the following robot.

In this paper, we address the two tasks: people counting in images of highly dense crowds and pedestrian flow statistics in a place over a period of time. Our first contribution is to propose a new convolution neural network (CNN) model which is composed of a deep and shallow fully convolution network to fulfill the task of people counting. We extract different layer features from the deep fully convolution network and the last layer features from the shallow fully convolution network, and concatenate them together. After that we add two deconvolution layers to make the output image have the same resolution with the input image. Our second contribution is to combine pedestrian flow statistics task with people counting task. According to the density maps that CNN model generates, we can calculate the number of people crossing a place based on the recurrent neural network (RNN). Besides, we also have collected two datasets and labelled them. Extensive experiments have been implemented, our people counting method outperforms other existing methods, and our pedestrian flow statistics method combined with CNN model also outperforms the model which only uses long-short term memory (LSTM).","PeriodicalId":226586,"journal":{"name":"2018 33rd Youth Academic Annual Conference of Chinese Association of Automation (YAC)","volume":"2012 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127401216","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}

PHEV may consume electricity while charging, may supply electricity while discharging, and may serve as a storage to the electric power grid. It is therefore of significant practical interest to coordinate PHEVs with the rest of the grid. Supply demand coordination is an important way to achieve high energy efficiency at the system level while satisfying the stability of the grid and the trip requirement of the PHEVs. This problem is challenging due to the highly uncertainty from both the supply and the demand side in the system, the multiple-stage decision making, the large-scale of the system, the multiple objective functions and constraints involved. In this work, we briefly review the recent development in this field. We hope this work may shed some insight on supply demand coordination in vehicle-to-grid in general.","PeriodicalId":226586,"journal":{"name":"2018 33rd Youth Academic Annual Conference of Chinese Association of Automation (YAC)","volume":"363 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114500790","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, the inherent misalignments on yaw error caused by improper calibration of the wind vanes during wind turbine installation, are usually severe and impact on the performance of yaw control strategies. In this study, a data-driven inherent misalignment identification and compensation scheme for yaw error is proposed. The real-time data from turbines are collected and a power generation curve is located for each yaw error interval. Subsequently, multiple power curves are evaluated via output performance indicator analysis for determining the actual inherent misalignment value.
