That allows improved drving behavior decision strategy to be used for more safety and effectiveness in complex scenarios. In this paper, a decision making framework based on hierarchical state machine is proposed with a top-down structure of three-layer finite state machine decision system. The upper layer classifies the driving scenario based on relative position of the vehicle and its surrounding vehicles. The middle layer judges the optimal driving behavior according to the improved energy efficiency function targeted at multiple criteria including driving efficiency, safety and the grid-based lane vacancy rate. The lower layer constructs the state transition matrix combined with the calculation results of the previous layer to predict the optimal pass way in the region. The simulation results show that the proposed driving strategy can integrate multiple criteria to evaluate the energy efficiency value of vehicle behavior in real time, and realize the selection of optimal vehicle driving strategy. With popularity of automatic vehicles in future, the driving strategy can be used as a reference to provide assistance for human drive or even the real-time decision-making of autonomous driving.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":71187,"journal":{"name":"自主智能系统(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s43684-021-00015-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41447924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, the interaction topology is undirected and switching. Provided that the leader’s velocity may be constant or time-varying, two distributed flocking control laws have been proposed for two cases to make the differences of the velocities between all followers and the leader approach to zero asymptotically. The proposed distributed flocking control laws are both model-independent which results in the effectiveness of the controllers to cope with the different intrinsic dynamics of the followers and the leader under some assumptions on boundedness of several states.

Historically, the constrained rotational movements were studied by physiologists in the nineteenth century, interested in eye and head movements. In this paper we revisit the gaze control problem, where two visual sensors, are tasked to simultaneously stare at a point target in the visual space. The target position changes discretely and the problem we consider is how to reorient the gaze directions of the sensors, along the optimal pathway of the human eyes, to the new location of the target. This is done by first solving an optimal control problem on the human binocular system. Next, we use these optimal control and show that a pan-tilt system can be controlled to follow the gaze trajectory of the human eye requiring a nonlinear static feedback of the pan and tilt angles and their derivatives. Our problem formulation uses a new Riemannian geometric description of the orientation space. The paper also introduces a new, pyramid based interpolation method, to implement the optimal controller.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":71187,"journal":{"name":"自主智能系统(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s43684-021-00001-3.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44282818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On one hand, MPC is a well-established optimal control method, which uses the predicted future information to optimize the control actions while explicitly considering constraints. On the other hand, AGVs are able to make forecasts and adapt their decisions in uncertain environments. Therefore, because of the nature of MPC and the requirements of AGVs, it is intuitive to apply MPC algorithms to AGVs. AGVs are interesting not only for considering them alone, which requires centralized control approaches, but also as groups of AGVs that interact and communicate with each other and have their own controller onboard. This calls for distributed control solutions. First, a short introduction into the basic theoretical background of centralized and distributed MPC is given. Then, it comprehensively reviews MPC applications for both single and multiple AGVs. Finally, the paper highlights existing issues and future research directions, which will promote the development of MPC schemes with high performance in AGVs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":71187,"journal":{"name":"自主智能系统(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s43684-021-00005-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49502742","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For us to grasp an object successfully, our brain must use just-in-time computations of the object’s real-world size and shape, and its orientation and disposition with respect to our hand. These requirements have led to the emergence of dedicated visuomotor modules in the posterior parietal cortex of the human brain (the dorsal visual stream) that are functionally distinct from networks in the occipito-temporal cortex (the ventral visual stream) that mediate our conscious perception of the world. Although the identification and selection of goal objects and an appropriate course of action depends on the perceptual machinery of the ventral stream and associated cognitive modules, the execution of the subsequent goal-directed action is mediated by dedicated online control systems in the dorsal stream and associated motor areas. The dorsal stream allows an observer to reach out and grasp objects with exquisite ease, but by itself, deals only with objects that are visible at the moment the action is being programmed. The ventral stream, however, allows an observer to escape the present and bring to bear information from the past – including information about the function of objects, their intrinsic properties, and their location with reference to other objects in the world. Ultimately then, both streams contribute to the production of goal-directed actions. The principles underlying this division of labour between the dorsal and ventral streams are relevant to the design and implementation of autonomous robotic systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":71187,"journal":{"name":"自主智能系统(英文)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s43684-021-00002-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43531220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
