For the target unreachable problem, a repulsive force potential field function is created. According to the measured distance between the target and the obstacle, the repulsive force of the target is zero, so that the USV can reach the target point. For the local minimum problem, the local minimum caused by various obstacles is analyzed, simulated annealing (SA) and artificial potential field approach (APFA) are combined to solve the minimum point problem caused by general obstacles. For the local minimum problem caused by special U-shaped obstacles, a virtual target point algorithm (VTPA) is established to solve this problem. The simulation results prove that this algorithm solves the problem of long path caused by too large repulsive force. Compared with Dual-Tree Rapidly exploring Random Tree (DT-RRT) algorithm, the efficiency of this algorithm has been significantly improved. Algorithm running time was reduced by 33.4%. Path length was reduced by 17.8%. Not only the time is saved, but also the path planning is optimized, so that the speed of the algorithm is accelerated.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48161239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An MTN controller is developed based on a proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller where the closed-loop errors between the reference input and the system output are set as the MTN controller’s inputs. Then, a back propagation (BP) algorithm, designed to update its weights according to errors caused by system uncertainty, is used as a learning algorithm for the MTN controller. Meanwhile, the convergence of the MTN predictive model and the stability of the closed-loop system are evaluated. Two numerical examples and a practical example – continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) process are presented to verify the superiority of the proposed scheme.

This paper contributes to designing multirate state feedback controllers for such systems. In this, it is shown that the feedback control for a linear time-invariant system, having slow and fast eigenvalue modes, can be successfully designed by multirate sampling of states in two stages. Multirate sampling refers to sampling slow- and fast-varying states at different rates, that is sampling slow states at a lower rate than the fast states. Here, two approaches for multirate sampling of states are presented, depending on the sampling sequence. In the first approach, fast subsystem states are sampled initially, and then, slow subsystem states are sampled, whereas in the second approach, slow subsystem states are sampled before sampling the fast subsystem states. As far as the two-stage design is concerned, the first stage of the design of feedback control is initiated just after sampling the first subsystem. Then, the left subsystem is sampled, and the second stage of the design of feedback control is accomplished. It is proved that the feedback controls derived with the multirate sampling of states stabilize the full-order system in both approaches. The design and implementation aspects of both approaches are compared. Finally, the applicability of the proposed control is demonstrated by simulating two examples. Simulations are also compared with other methods proposed in the literature.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45269101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, a convex hull combination algorithm (CHCA) is designed, in which each agent solves a convex problem composed of perceived neighbors in the sensing region and chooses an optimal control strategy to move to the next position with guaranteed connectivity under low-density network topologies. Second, the relative neighborhood graph is incorporated into the CHCA (RNCHCA) as the constraint set to adapt to the high-density network topologies. The convergence and connectivity of the proposed algorithms are proved based on the geometric concept and case analyses.

The NFTSM method has the capability to ensure convergence rate and to provide good tracking accuracy and robustness against external perturbations and parameter uncertainties (total disturbances). However, the NFTSM controller needs high discontinuous gain to reject the effect of strong disturbances, which results in vibrations in the steady-state and chattering in the control law. To solve these issues, an extended state observer–based NFTSM technique is proposed for [Formula: see text]-degree of freedom (DoF) coupling MM. The proposed method is designed to approximate and compensate in real-time the uncertainties. It also ensures robustness against total disturbances, good convergence rate, and good tracking accuracy. The stability of the proposed control is also verified based on the Lyapunov theory.

The PI type structure of the ESC provides fast transient response for the closed-loop system to attain optimum equilibrium point. A mathematical proof is presented to show that the average error dynamic asymptotically converges to zero while the estimation error is minimized. The simulation results verify that the estimation error achieved by the proposed PIESC-based ESO (PIESC-ESO) is found significantly less than that achieved by the classic ESO and PSO-based ESO. Moreover, if slow changes occur within the system or external to it, the PIESC-ESO is still able to modify the observer gains such that the estimation error is minimized again.

However, in practical engineering, workers are more concerned with the real-time health status of bearings. And it is difficult to complete the effective training of diagnostic models with insufficient labeled fault data. Therefore, this paper proposes a modular method based on a mask kernel and multi-head self-attention mechanism for rolling bearing fault diagnosis. First, the proposed method divides the diagnosis into two modules of status detection and fault recognition. The approach of sharing one backbone for both modules simplifies the optimization process. The method combines the translation invariance of the convolution kernel and the mask attention mechanism of the transformer by computing the local self-attention and superimposing the partial local attention by the mask to ensure the integrity of the information. Finally, a zero-shot training method is proposed to embed the query into the model to achieve cross-distribution fault diagnosis of bearings. The experiments on the data sets of Case Western Reserve University and machinery fault simulator are implemented to diagnose the bearings. The results show that the proposed method can obtain higher diagnostic accuracy and computational efficiency than the existing methods and can be valid for scenarios with cross-condition diagnosis or imbalanced samples.","PeriodicalId":49426,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45527814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
