The benefits of multi-agent approach to design the UAV system are related to its desired properties, which is fail safe feature, meaning the resistance of the system to software and hardware failures. There is also proposed a system's ability to deal with emergency situations and in eventuality of crash, minimal damage caused by accidents. In this context, the ability of “autonomous controlled accident” is described.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133220249","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 discrete-continuous project scheduling activities require for their processing discrete and continuous resources. Processing rate of an activity depends on the amount of the continuous resource allotted to this activity at a time. A positive cash flow is associated with each activity. A common payment model - payments at activity completion times is considered. The objective is the maximization of the net present value of all cash flows of the project. Applications of two local search metaheuristics - simulated annealing and tabu search are described. The algorithms are compared on the basis of a computational experiment, the results are analyzed and discussed. Some conclusions as well as directions for further research are given.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133377433","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 order to comply with future more stringent emission standards, the air-fuel ratio control must be improved. Commonly used control concepts do not account for the oxygen storage ability of the three-way catalyst, even though the storage state mainly influences post-catalyst exhaust emissions. In this paper a new air-fuel ratio control strategy based on the oxygen storage state is presented. Since the oxygen storage state can not be measured directly, a major component of the controller is a newly developed catalyst model that accounts for the spatial distribution of oxygen within the catalyst. The proposed control concept has been successfully tested on a vehicle equipped with a turbocharged, direct injection gasoline engine.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"820 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133287981","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 robotics or other light-weight applications where mechatronic drives are used, the end-effector often undesirably oscillates due to a relatively low system damping. Knowing the frequency of the damped oscillation would allow, e.g. “posicast”- or “input shaping”-control methods. Thus, suppression or even elimination of such an oscillation can be achieved. When the frequency changes due to e.g. variable loads or gravitational issues, the control settings should be changed as well. Then dynamics/precision can be held among non oscillation. Having a method which adapts e.g. a shaper to the actual frequency would allow a better suppression of such an oscillation. During run time, several sensor data of a mechatronic system contains this frequency more or less incisive. Several methods which may estimate online (during run time) this frequency in “transient”- as well as “semi-steady”-state were discussed in the following.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127936256","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}
