In this paper, we mainly focus on the morphogenetic models of virtual plant. The procedures for simulation and visualization of plant morphological structure during the period of plant growth are summarized first. The techniques for data acquisition of plant morphological structure are introduced since it is the initial work of modeling. We divide the existing morphogenetic models into three categories: static models, non-interactive dynamic models and morphology-environment interactive models. An extensive survey of morphogenetic models is presented. Advantages and disadvantages of these models are analyzed. The remaining problems in the current morphogenetic model research are also pointed out.","PeriodicalId":393739,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115140801","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 research in this paper is focused on dynamic modeling and dynamic characteristics analysis of a front-wheel drive bicycle robot under the state of slope-climbing. The concepts of critical angle and critical driving torque were proposed to estimate the slope-climbing capability. Kinematics of the robot was derived under the assumption of rolling without slipping of the two road wheels on a slope plane. Recursion dynamic model of the bicycle robot was constructed by using Kane equation and energy and work analysis is introduced to validate the model. Numerical simulations of the running behavior on different gradients were implemented in MATLAB to analyze the dynamical characteristics of the bicycle robot. Simulations results show the model is basically in agreement with the real working condition of the bicycle robot.","PeriodicalId":393739,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132964127","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 intelligent agent is trained using reinforcement learning to acquire the scheduling knowledge of assigning the appropriate weighting values for building the composite rule to cope with the WIP fluctuation of a machine.

This tool can be implemented in manufacturing systems served by collaborative robots if the recurrent modeling function is structured on hierarchical levels. Each level is similar with previous ones, from superior hierarchical level, but has allocated different time intervals. In low hierarchical levels, those intervals are bigger, decreasing detection accuracy. Hierarchical levels are interfaced by LIFO module and OOPN (Object Oriented Petri Nets). This new approach base on temporal hierarchical structure, refined monitoring function modeling. On each horizontal level is proposed an elementary detection model, but transitions are associated with external events synchronized with fault occurrence, expected specific temporal windows. Not all the external events may occur in the assigned intervals so the model is designed to evolve to the next level, and to preserve / transferring its set of detected external events. The model evolution is made on every horizontal level, until the node where detection is finished, and moves to the next level.","PeriodicalId":393739,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133083856","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 the inner current loop, a Riccati equation is solved and a constant value adjoint matrix is calculated to derive the designed controller. For the outer voltage loop, the state equations are established and the suitable weighting functions are selected. And then, the Riccati inequality is solved to derive the H∞ controller. The simulation results show that the designed controller can achieve unit power factor control, and has faster response and better external disturbance rejection capabilities compared with the conventional PI controller.","PeriodicalId":393739,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130482669","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}

In the past decades, researchers proposed various methods to predict the API based on previous observed data. On the other hand, however, missing of the observed data always occurs in practice and it may deteriorate the prediction performance. How to handle the missing data is often a challenge in API forecasting. This paper presents a method for pre-processing the missing observed data by adopting the multiple imputation technique for Macau API prediction using the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS). The forecasting performance after missing data pre-processing is compared with the conventional case without pre-processing and the results in terms of the root mean square error (RMSE) shows effectiveness in API forecasting against nine-years measured data in the Macau City.","PeriodicalId":393739,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"15 21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123140454","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}

Most current methods assume the availability of some reasonable amount of initially labeled training data so that the learners can be trained with sufficient quality. However, for many applications, the amount of initial training data is often limited, this will affect the quality of the initial learners, which, in turn, affect the performance of the active learning methods. In this paper, we introduce a new non-parametric active learning strategy that can perform well even under very limited initial training data. Our method selects the query instance that simultaneously maximizes its label uncertainty and the classification accuracy on the unlabelled test data. Our method hence avoids selecting outliers and does not require good initial learner. The experimental results with benchmark datasets show that our method outperforms state of the art methods especially when the amount of the initially labeled data is small or when the quality of the initially labeled data is poor.","PeriodicalId":393739,"journal":{"name":"2010 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123144889","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}
