Control robustness with respect to model uncertainties and external disturbances is reinforced using both high gain estimation and integrator techniques. Rigourous stability analysis and insightful discussions are provided throughout the paper. Finally, robustness and efficiency of the proposed approach are illustrated by simulation on a realistic AUV model.","PeriodicalId":374572,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132546214","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 flexible structure is equipped with two piezoelectric patches: one of them works as a sensor and the other as an actuator. Each one of them is bonded on one side of the beam and both are collocated. The model of this system is obtained from a finite element analysis, leading to a linear state space model. The purpose of this work is to investigate the properties of the proposed output feedback controller in terms of vibration damping and of robustness. This controller is based on a rightmost-characteristic root assignment approach.

So, two classes are considered: flood class and vegetation. For the learning phase a supervised technique based on small patches is used. Based on efficiency analysis, the Histograms of Oriented Gradients on H colour channel and mean intensity on gray level are selected as discriminated features. The classification/ segmentation phase considers two separate classifiers: one for flood class and another for vegetation class. Because there are mixed patches (with water and also vegetation) a new class (common parts) is created as logical OR between the binary decisions of the classifiers. For each test image, the percentage of flooded, vegetation or common parts is calculated.","PeriodicalId":374572,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124799237","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 strategy is then applied to a class of systems representing supply chains with commodity loss during transport. It is demonstrated that for such plants, the proposed strategy ensures full satisfaction of the unpredictable demand while adhering to necessary state and input constraints.","PeriodicalId":374572,"journal":{"name":"2017 21st International Conference on System Theory, Control and Computing (ICSTCC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128444930","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 main question to be answered here is whether if the inclusion of an explicit model of a static nonlinearity (DZ in this case) can be avoided while preserving the control system performance.
