This study presents an improved snake optimization algorithm (SOEA) to overcome the limitations of the standard snake optimization algorithm (SOA), such as slow convergence, subpar optimization accuracy, and vulnerability to local optima. The integration of elite opposition-based learning strategy enables the adjustment of snake population positions, thereby enhancing the algorithm’s global search capacity and iteration speed. Moreover, the incorporation of the adaptive threshold method enhances its local search performance and convergence speed. Experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed SOEA algorithm in achieving global optimization and accelerating convergence speed. The SOEA algorithm achieves a remarkable 34% reduction in the average number of iterations required compared to the SOA algorithm, and it also exhibits a lower mean squared error. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is validated through its successful application to solving the multi-UAV path planning problem.","PeriodicalId":507087,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"36 28","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141924754","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}

First, using states of the fuzzy plant and a constant, a Zeno-free dynamic event-triggered mechanism (ETM) is presented, which is more robust to the PB disturbances than the static state-related ETMs (SSRETMs). Second, by virtually dividing the updating intervals of the controller, a unified time-delay fuzzy system model is established, which takes effects of dynamic ETM, deception attacks, disturbances, quantizer, and delays into account. Third, criteria for globally exponentially ultimately bounded (GEUB) stability in mean square with guaranteed [Formula: see text]-gain are obtained, and the quantitative relationship between the ultimate bound and the dynamic ETM is established. To overcome the inconvenience of the emulation method requiring two design steps, a co-design strategy is provided to simultaneously design the ETM and fuzzy controller subject to premise mismatching. Simulation results confirm that, even with the triggering rate 36.9% and the attacking rate 11.4%, satisfactory control performance can still be achieved; the dynamic ETM achieves better triggering performance than the SSRETMs; and the proposed controller achieves shorter settling time and smaller overshoot than the robust linear controller.","PeriodicalId":507087,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"8 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141921651","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}

Advanced controllers that can ensure stability and feasibility without violating system constraints, and enhance the system’s dynamic output performance, are needed. Therefore, this paper proposes a stable input/output feedback linearization (IOFL) model predictive controller (MPC) technique for the boiler-turbine system. This nonlinear system is decoupled using the IOFL method into a novel linearized model, which is then used for constituting the proposed stable IOFL MPC problem. The proposed scheme uses a constraint mapping method that converts actual input limits into limits on the basis of the control output variable to ensure a feasible solution over the whole prediction horizon. Moreover, a min-max MPC technique in the form of linear matrix inequality with the realization of the input rate-of-change constraints is utilized to ensure the boiler-turbine unit’s stability. The process model and proposed control scheme are executed using MATLAB and the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed controller has an enhanced dynamic output performance compared with an advanced control scheme under various load variations.","PeriodicalId":507087,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Institute of Measurement and Control","volume":"49 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922975","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 VEDSMC can effectively enhance the convergence speed of the displacement variables and improve the transient performance of the crane system. The APRL consists of an adaptive switching gain; it can estimate the optimal switching gain according to the unknown dynamics of the crane system and the disturbance, reduce the controller chattering, and guarantee the robustness. The DLLILC term can further improve anti-swing and positioning performance of the overhead crane without accurate information of the crane dynamics model in advance. Moreover, a nonlinear dynamic learning law (DLL) is developed to guarantee both convergence speed and steady-state accuracy in the learning process.

Due to the significant modality gap between pedestrian images, the task of person re-identification faces considerable challenges. To address this issue, a method is proposed that utilizes the fusion of local effective features and multi-scale features. First, images are transformed into pseudo-infrared images through data augmentation and then a dual-stream network is designed using ResNet50_IBN for feature extraction. Subsequently, pedestrian features extracted from different layers are fused at multiple scales to alleviate feature loss caused during the convolution process. Finally, the model is supervised using global features and local effective features to address issues related to cluttered backgrounds and varying pedestrian positions in images.

To address this limitation, a curved path-tracking strategy under variable velocity based on the adaptive model predictive control (MPC) is proposed for autonomous vehicles. Through the analysis of the vehicle dynamics model, the theoretical basis is presented to improve the performance of the curved path tracking by changing the vehicle velocity, and the adaptive velocity (AV) planner is designed to generate variable velocities depending on the path curvature and road friction coefficients. In addition, the adaptive model predictive controller, which adopts the fuzzy inference system with vehicle velocity and path curvature as inputs to obtain the adaptive prediction horizon (APH), is employed to realize curved path-tracking and velocity control with actuator constraints by manipulating the steering angle of the front wheels and the longitudinal tire forces of the vehicle.

FOPID utilizes the stable filtered error to facilitate the control development and stability analysis for the multi-input multi-output (MIMO) coupled system. Moreover, a disturbance observer is developed by utilizing the velocity signals to provide robustness against the disturbances and parametric uncertainties. Enhanced infinite order disturbance observer (EIFDOB) structure is used to improve the robustness of the introduced technique despite the high-frequency sensor noise.
