An unknown time variant scalar field is defined on this workspace. The robot should detect, locate, and densely sweep a moving and deforming 2D isosurface (level set), which is the locus of points where the field takes a given value. The sensory data consist of the value of the field at the current location, robot’s coordinate along a certain (typically, vertical) space direction, and the orientation of this direction relative to the robot. We offer a new navigation law under which the robot reaches the targeted isosurface from an occasional initial location and then scans the part of this surface in between two given “altitudes”. This law does not rely on estimation of the field gradient and is undemanding in terms of motion and computation. Its convergence is demonstrated by a mathematically rigorous result and computer simulation tests.","PeriodicalId":308427,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117084958","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}

For sample data LFF problem a distributed design approach is proposed using luenberger observer, distributed observer and a zeroorder hold circuit. The designed approach enables the robots to track a discrete reference signal generated by the leader and to achieve and maintain the desired formation for the provided initial conditions. A driving force is provided by the exogenous system which serve as a leader for the robot formation. In view of time varying interaction between robots, one case of fixed network topology and two cases of switching network topologies are considered to exhibit the multirobot network relationship. The theoretical results are verified through numerical simulations of four nonholonomic multirobot network. The simulation highlights that the robots are maintaining the desired formation and are also tracking the trajectory of the leader robot under fixed and switching topologies of the multinetwork system.","PeriodicalId":308427,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130506531","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}

An accuracy-enhancing solver for standard and generalized continuous- and discretetime Lyapunov equations is investigated in this paper. It has been derived by specializing a solver for algebraic Riccati equations based on Newton's method. The conceptual algorithm and some implementation details are summarized. The numerical results obtained by solving sets of examples of increasing dimension and numerical difficulty from the SLICOT benchmark collections for Lyapunov equations are analyzed and compared to the solutions computed by the state-of-the-art MATLAB and SLICOT solvers. The results show that most often the new solver is more accurate, sometimes by several orders of magnitude, than its competitors, and requires only a small increase of the computational effort.","PeriodicalId":308427,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121296153","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 actions involve prevention by information campaign, to reduce the category of subjects with unwise behavior, by test campaign, to reduce the number of subjects not aware of having the virus, and medication on patients with a positive diagnosis. A cost index aiming at the reduction of patients with positive diagnosis is introduced with the conflicting requirements of using as less resources as possible.","PeriodicalId":308427,"journal":{"name":"2018 22nd International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"94 Suppl D 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123787377","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}
