To insure numerical stability and accuracy, UD-Factorization techniques are used. A preset number of individual tracks is typically maintained in dense target environments. In real-time application the processing load is of concern. The UD-Factorization algorithm for measurement updates operates on each measurement individually when the error covariance matrix of the measurements is diagonal. In the inertial X-Y-Z TWS Kalman Filter for each track, this matrix is inherently non-diagonal and consequently needs to be operated upon. The proposed algorithm utilizes the lower triangular Cholesky square root technique to determine the normalized measurement vector and observation matrix, and yields an identity measurement error covariance matrix. To perform all the computations necessary requires considerable effort, and this paper delineates what is involved. The computationally cost-effective way to operate reduces to only a few subsidiary calculations above what would be necessary had the measurement error covariance matrix been diagonal to begin with. This algorithm is invoked prior to performing the Kalman Measurement Update equations.","PeriodicalId":269680,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134391777","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}

This paper, based on discrete time trajectory analysis, extends these concepts and includes the manipulator dynamics in the planning of straight line trajectory in the Cartesian space. The planning of straight line trajectory is performed in the Cartesian space and requires optimization in the jointvariable space. An iterative forward and backward search algorithm coupled with a modified forward search algorithm are developed to determine the joint values at each control set point on the given straight line within the bounds imposed by the smoothness and torque constraints. These sets of joint position, velocity and acceleration will be used as referenced inputs to the manipulator controller for the joint-variable space control [1] or can be used to determine the corresponding Cartesian position, velocity, and acceleration on the straight line for the Cartesian space control. The proposed straight line trajectory planning will be useful for obstacle avoidance and the resolved motion adaptive control [2].","PeriodicalId":269680,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"244 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132091865","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}

Chained aggregation is used to decompose the overall team problem with a decentralized information structure into (N+1) sub-problems: one low order team problem with a centralized information structure and N decentralized optimal control problems. Accordingly, the control of each decision maker is decomposed into three components: a decoupling control which induces aggregation, a local control which controls the subsystem dynamics, and an aggregate control which controls the dynamics of the interconnection variables. The robustness of this composite control with respect to perturbations in the system dynamics and the cost functional is established.","PeriodicalId":269680,"journal":{"name":"The 23rd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1984-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121111586","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}
