The goals of followers, which are defined as their relative positions with respect to the leader corresponding to a predefined target shape, are assumed to be interchangeable. During the operation of the multi -agent systems, the goals of a pair of followers are exchanged locally if an assignment condition is satisfied. Compared with the existing goal assignment studies utilizing the position information, the main feature of this paper is to derive a velocity-based assignment condition to deal with the assignment problem of second-order multi-agent systems. Based on the proposed goal assignment algorithm, it is verified that the transient leader-following formation control performance is improved in the sense of Lyapunov. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our theoretical results.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126341882","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}

Image information such as color is essential to identify a target person. However, the information is not reliable under severe illumination changes unless the system can accommodate these changes over time. In this paper, we propose a robust identifier that has been combined with a deep learning technique to accommodate varying illumination in the ambient lighting of a scene. Moreover, an enhanced online update strategy for the person identification model is used to deal with the challenge of drifting the target person's appearance changes during tracking. Using the proposed method, the system achieves a successfully tracked rate above 90% on real-world video sequences in which variations in illumination are dominant. We confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method through target-following experiments using five different clothing colors in a real indoor environment where the lighting conditions change extremely.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121157124","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 proposed controller utilized the direct yaw moment control approach for path tracking of the autonomous vehicle. The path tracking algorithm consists of three parts, desired yaw-rate decision, adaptive sliding mode control, and control allocation. The desired yaw rate has been determined based on the geometric relationship between a reference path and vehicle position. A required yaw-moment to tracking the desired yaw-rate has been decided by using an adaptive sliding mode control approach to compensate for the linear tire model assumption. Since the four-wheel steering vehicle is an overactuated system, the optimization-based control allocation has been introduced to determine the front and rear-wheel steering inputs, respectively, considering a control effort, actuator limit, ride comfort, and body slip. The simulation study has been conducted to compare the path tracking performance of the base controller using front steering and the proposed algorithm. It has been shown from the simulations that the path tracking performance has been improved in a driving situation with a high curvature and a steep road slope.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121175398","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}

One of the main issues in motion planning among multiple UAVs is collision avoidance. Model Predictive Control (MPC) is characterized by its ability to consider collision avoidance in the framework of constrained optimization. For this reason, there have been many studies on collision avoidance using MPC, but few studies take into account the uncertainty that occurs in real environments. On the other hand, Chance constrained MPC (CCMPC) is considered to be more robust in collision avoidance due to the consideration of uncertainty. However, the structure of the collision probability constraint equation to be introduced into the evaluation function of MPC has not been sufficiently studied. In this study, the structure of equations for incorporating probability constraints into the evaluation function is examined. Moreover, by quantitatively comparing the equations with the same structure with deterministic constraints introduced into the evaluation function, the difference in collision avoidance is clarified.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125291759","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}

However, the systematic method of integrating the process data, model-based applications, database, and the user interface has not been well addressed. Therefore, this paper aims to fill this gap by proposing the workflow on applying the integrating framework called gPROMS Digital Application Platform that can receive and validate the process data, execute the various model-based applications, and visualizing the data and process results in a customized web-based user interface. For the case study, the integrating framework is constructed to optimize the SMR process in real-time. The gPROMS Process was used to construct the process model and the optimization problem was solved to find the optimal operating conditions that maximize the thermal efficiency of the reactor. The database stores the model inputs and outputs, and sends the signals to execute the model-based applications. Lastly, the web-based user interface was constructed to offer an environment to monitor the process status and execute the process optimization.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131160483","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 system uses a deep learning method to classify polished or unpolished wood, which is one of the pioneer works using deep learning to examine wood quality.

The proposed approach combines Adam optimizer and SoftMax classifiers to provide the better performance of the model. This paper presents the binary classification on our dataset that contains 1,920 training and 560 test images. The result showed an average accuracy of 85%.
