While this method can output good results for pre-modelled target positions, it struggles to maintain the accuracy when facing manoeuvering targets or complex motion patterns targets. Here, the relevant parameters of the tracked target's motion intention are directly estimated innovatively, like estimating the circling point position rather than the circular flying target's position and velocity.

Although prior studies on minimising the impact of network latency and disturbances on teleoperated robots were conducted, there has been very little research on the prediction of minimal operation regions of robotic arms, especially in the worst-case scenarios when the disturbances and time delays still prevail even after impact minimisation. This study investigates the problem and proposes a novel solution to predicting minimal operation regions of networked control robotic manipulators. The proposed method can be used to forecast safe operation regions in which the manipulators will certainly enter and exclude regions that the robots will never penetrate. Leveraging on a Lyanonov Krasovskii criterion, the method performs region prediction by establishing minimal reachable bounding sets of the nonlinear, perturbed robotic arm's state vectors guided via a time-varying delay-dominant network. Though predominantly nonlinear, the entire prediction process is formulated as a tractable Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimisation problem, which can be solved efficiently and effectively.

These dynamics present formidable challenges in both the analysis and optimization of game evolution. To address this, a novel model named the networked evolutionary game (NEG) is proposed based on incomplete information with switched topologies. This model captures situations where players possess limited insight into their opponents' benefits, yet make decisions based on their own payoffs while adapting to different networks and new players. To bridge the gap between incomplete and complete information games, R. Selten's transformation method is leveraged, a renowned approach that converts an incomplete information game into an interim agent game, thereby establishing the equivalence of pure Nash equilibria (NE) in both scenarios. Employing the semi-tensor product (STP) of matrices, a powerful tool in logistic system, the evolution of the model is articulated through algebraic relationships. This enables to unravel the patterns of game evolution and identify the corresponding pure Nash equilibria. By introducing control players, strategically positioned within the game, optimized control is facilitated over the evolutionary trajectory, ultimately leading to convergence towards an optimal outcome.

Meanwhile, the hyperbolic tangent function is employed to avoid singularity issues that often appeared in the traditional fixed-time (FXT) control designs.
