DTQ is one of a tethered quadrotor system in which station is located above the flight level of the quadrotor. Thanks to its system layout, the tether can play an important role in energy efficient flight of the quadrotor by adjusting the tension properly. In order to extremize the advantage of DTQ, optimization problem for mechanical power consumption of DTQ in hovering states is formulated. The DTQ in this paper considers misalignment between tether link point on the quadrotor and center of mass (CoM) of the quadrotor to simulate real system. Numerical simulation illustrates efficiency of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"1 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":"133784197","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}

By using this phenomenon, there is a possibility that the lower-limb perception-assist, in which inappropriate motion is automatically modified, is realized. In this study, change of ankle joint motion by giving the vibration stimulation on the gastrocnemius muscle in the lower-limb is studied by performing the experiment of adding vibration stimulation to the gastrocnemius muscle during the movement of ankle joint dorsiflexion and plantar flexion under several frequency ranges. The results indicate that the amount of motion change varies depending on the frequency of the vibration stimulation. Based on the characteristics of motion change with respect to vibration stimulation, a method to control the change of the user's ankle joint dorsiflexion motion by adjusting the frequency of the vibration stimulation to achieve the target motion, which is different from the user's intended motion, is evaluated. It is confirmed that there is a possibility that the vibration stimulation can be applicable to modify the human ankle joint motion for the perception-assist using frequency change.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"48 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":"122446086","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}

To satisfy the horizontally long and vertically narrow atypical ROI (Region of Interest) of LiDAR, the concept of etendue is applied. For light sources placed in a rectangle shape, the short side of the source corresponds to the slow axis and the long side corresponds to the fast axis. In order to cover a light source placed in a rectangle, a translational design in which the cross section of the lens is extended in the axial direction is adopted. The refractive surface of the lens is modeled with two parametric curves, and parameters are adjusted to satisfy the given radiance criteria. In the design example, the design of a primary lens composed of one circular arc and a secondary lens formed by connecting circular arcs was derived. The designed optical system showed an efficiency of about 65% and a uniformity of 12%.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"36 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":"117263118","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 such safety-critical systems, it will certainly be a requirement that safe performance should be ensured even during the reinforcement learning period in the presence of system uncertainty. To address this issue, a Barrier Lyapunov Function-based safe reinforcement learning algorithm (BLF-SRL) is proposed here for the formulated nonlinear system in strict-feedback form. This approach appropriately arranges the Barrier Lyapunov Function item into the optimized backstepping control method to constrain the state-variables in the designed safety region during learning when unknown bounded system uncertainty exists. More specifically, the overall system control is optimized with the optimized backstepping technique under the framework of Actor-Critic, which optimizes the virtual control in every backstepping subsystem. Wherein, the optimal virtual control is decomposed into Barrier Lyapunov Function items; and also with an adaptive item to be learned with deep neural networks, which achieves safe exploration during the learning process. Eventually, the principle of Bellman optimality is satisfied through iteratively updating the independently approximated actor and critic to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation in adaptive dynamic programming. More notably, the variance of control performance under uncertainty is also reduced with the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified with motion control problems for autonomous vehicles through appropriate comparison simulations.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"39 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":"115208446","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}

Especially in autonomous mobile robots, the reinforcement learning approach can be applied to the mapless navigation problem. The Robot can complete the set tasks well and works well in different environments without maps and ready-made path plans. However, for reinforcement learning in general and mapless navigation based on reinforcement learning in particular, exploitation and exploration balance are issues that need to be carefully considered. Specifically, the fact that the agent (Robot) can discover and execute actions in a particular working environment plays a significant role in improving the performance of the reinforcement learning problem. By creating some noise during the convolutional neural network training, the above problem can be solved by some popular approaches today. With outstanding advantages compared to other approaches, the Boltzmann policy approach has been used in our problem. It helps the Robot explore more thoroughly in complex environments, and the policy is also more optimized.","PeriodicalId":411064,"journal":{"name":"2021 21st International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS)","volume":"4 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":"117105691","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 addition, when analyzing the stability using Lyapunov-functional, integral inequality is used to obtain the upper bound of the integral term. A larger maximum sampling interval can be obtained by using the free matrix based integral inequality which is developed in time-delay system recently.

In the process, we devise a network that performs depth estimation on a compound eye structure to obtain a depth image containing 3D information from an RGB image. We tested our methods by collecting data using a compound eye camera implemented in a Gazebo simulation and simulation scenes we created.
