In this paper we use the navigation problem of avoiding collision at sea for testing ground. A wide range of marine collision situations was provided to reveal advantages of power-law scaling application. The performed investigations have shown that the use of power-law scaling in the evolutionary path planning method preserves the diversity of solutions by a larger number of generations in the exploration phase. Results were also compared with a previous research that was performed using linear scaling.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"116 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":"124663100","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}

We prove that this problem is at least NP-hard even if the cost weight of each job is equal to its processing time and release dates of all jobs are the same. Therefore, to solve the problem we implement parallel algorithms that are based on NEH, tabu search and simulated annealing. Numerical analysis shows the algorithms not only find solutions that are close to optimum, but the decreasing ratio of their running times (parallel tabu search and simulated annealing) is close to the number of threads, thereby multi-core CPU are efficiently utilized by these algorithms.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"18 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":"127490958","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 human-robot cooperation, real-time force interaction is essential to apply for various applications (ex. direct robot teaching, etc.). For the real time control, HRCMC is designed using RTOS and EtherCAT network and HRESC has the capability to collect and transfer to HRCMC all sensor information of robot including force sensors.

There have been proposed a high-level control system and algorithms used for training patients. Emphasis was made especially on the gravitation compensation algorithm, because of the low velocity and acceleration of movement parameters during rehabilitation. The direction of movements was estimated based on the model of surface electromyographic (sEMG) signal, which renders muscle activity very well. The model of manipulator is stable, behaves in a predictable way and, according to the EMG interpretation block, satisfyingly deduces the intention of motion and controls the model.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"8 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":"117184670","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 existence of solutions of such problems is still researched by many authors. In current note, a particular solution, called optimal, i.e. the one with the least L2-norm is searched for. Proposed is an algorithm that allows to change an infinite system of equations into the linear one with only a finite number of equations. The mentioned algorithm is based on the fact, that in the case of a Fourier moment problem, the optimal solution is periodic and easy to construct. The optimal solution of a non-Fourier moment problem close to a Fourier one is approximated by a sequence of solutions with periodicity disturbed in a finite number of equations. It is proved that this sequence of approximations converges to the solution sought for. The note is concluded with the application of proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"48 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":"124567492","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}

Replacing the state constraint by equivalent terms leads to new kinds of topology-shape optimal control problems, which gives access to new necessary conditions for elliptic optimal control problems. These new necessary conditions reveal some striking advantages: Higher regularity of the multiplier associated with the state constraint and, in consequence, the ability to apply numerical solvers which do not need any regularization in order to deal with the multipliers. Moreover, the numerical solution can be splited between active and inactive set which improves the efficiency. Since the new necessary conditions can be regarded as a free boundary problem for the unknown interface in-between active and inactive sets, we use Shape-Calculus to formulate a Shape-Newton Scheme in function space in order to solve the optimality system. A finite element discretized version of this scheme shows encouraging results like a low number of iterations and high accuracy in detection of the active sets. Moreover, the numerical results indicate grid independency of this method and the method seems to be able to handle also changes of the topology of the active set.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"203 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":"115902259","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}
