Our algorithm adopts ideas from imitation learning and Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient (DDPG). It utilizes an existing baseline controller to speed up the process of learning as well as lower the exploration cost. Our algorithm is validated on classic pendulum swing-up problem and shows faster convergence speed and lower exploration cost. Furthermore, the algorithm can also be applied in learning a controller for commercial aircraft cruising. While DDPG fails to learn a decent policy, our hybrid learning algorithm is able to learn quickly in an online manner with low cost. Our experiments show that the learned policy network is more robust than the baseline PID controller.","PeriodicalId":359959,"journal":{"name":"2019 3rd International Symposium on Autonomous Systems (ISAS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124550210","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 presents an adaptive tracking control algorithm for mobile robots operating over the slip-ping/skidding surface and at the same fine possibly suffering from actuator faults. The proposed control bears the simple structure of proportion-integrals-differential (PID) in which the PID gains are adaptively self-tuned, completely avoiding time-consuming manual “trial and error” tuning process as usually involved in most traditional PID control methods. The salient features of the proposed control lie in not only its simplicity in design and implementation, but also its ability to cope with modeling uncertainties and actuation faults as well as the sliding impacts. Simulations on butterfly trajectory tracking demonstrate and confirm the superior performance of the developed adaptive PID control as compared with traditional one.","PeriodicalId":359959,"journal":{"name":"2019 3rd International Symposium on Autonomous Systems (ISAS)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115324346","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}

Secondly, a quantizer is used for reducing processing data and cutting down network congestion, which can improve the quality of control in a certain extent. Next, the co-design scheme of event-triggered mechanism and the controller is given to guarantee the asymptotically stability of the closed-loop system based on Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequality technique.

This problem is encountered in many practical applications such as demand response, cloud computing systems and economic dispatch of power systems. This kind of problem can be expressed as an optimization problem under constraints. Our goal is to obtain the optimal resource allocation under limited conditions and the global objective function is a sum of all local agents individual cost function. By combining with the distributed primal-dual method, we design a distributed optimization algorithm with a constant step-size. When the cost function of each agent is convex and smooth, we prove that our method can converge to the optimal solution. Finally, we apply the algorithm to the problem of the economic dispatch in power systems and get the optimal resource allocation, which verifies the effectiveness of the algorithm.","PeriodicalId":359959,"journal":{"name":"2019 3rd International Symposium on Autonomous Systems (ISAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115092755","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}

Its optimal operation may be very helpful to reduce the energy mismatch between availability of distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation and the demand in buildings where hot water, heating and cooling are delivered by electricity powered thermal system. An optimization problem for the demand side management of building multi-energy systems with feed-in electricity, renewable generations, thermal storage devices, and schedulable loads is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming problem, which could capture the coupling between the cooling, heating and electricity energy in the building energy systems and handle the correlation between the thermal storages and renewable generation. By solving the developed problem, the scheduling strategy of the electricity powered thermal system under time-of-use electricity price can be obtained. The performance of the developed method is demonstrated using numerical case studies under different demand situations. The results show that the thermal storage devices can significantly improve the energy efficiency of the building and save the total electricity cost.","PeriodicalId":359959,"journal":{"name":"2019 3rd International Symposium on Autonomous Systems (ISAS)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126137862","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}
