Wildfires not only pose a significant threat to human life and property but also have far-reaching impacts on communities and ecosystems. Effective prevention and mitigation strategies rely on accurate prediction of the path of these fires. this paper proposes the utilization of data obtained from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to develop predictive models for fire spread. A comprehensive dataset is presented that includes key environmental variables that have been meticulously captured using these advanced technologies. the dataset comprises images from which essential features for predicting fire spread have been extracted. the method detailed in this article has been used to identify and incorporate crucial factors such as plant density, wind direction and speed, humidity, and geographical features. these key factors are then used to predict the spread of fires using Machine Learning (ML) techniques. After thorough study and comparison, AdaBoost and Random Forest (RF) demonstrate superior predictive capabilities. Evaluation metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Mean Squared Error (MSE) confirm the high accuracy and reliability of the proposed approach, achieving R-squared (R-2) values above 0.98. By combining advanced technological tools with analytical methodologies, this approach has the potential to enhance fire suppression and management, safeguarding lives and assets.

Autonomous decision-making has always been one of the primary goals to pursue as concerns mobile robots. Researchers of this field have recently turned their attention to Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). this paper presents a Double Deep Q Network architecture for managing the high level decisions of a mobile robot involved in a site servicing task. We imagined a scenario where an autonomous service robot must react to alarms due to failures in its area of interest;the robot must have onboard the necessary servicing tool by resorting to a tool change station if needed, reach the area of the failure and fix it, while at the same time handling its battery status. One of the key properties, yet rarely examined, when it comes to robots' long-term independence is the energy-awareness, namely the ability of autonomously managing the charge state as a function of current and future needs. the proposed Deep Q Network training reward scheme is defined specifically to obtain an energy-aware high-level controller, by penalizing both extremely low levels of battery charge as well as unnecessary recharges. the model is numerically simulated on a graph scenario constituted of several failure and charging nodes. Results show that the trained agent always succeeds in reaching the destination without ever incurring in a complete discharge, as it promptly performs temporary stops at charging locations whenever needed.

In this paper we investigate realization theory of a class of non-linear systems, called Nash systems. Nash systems are non-linear systems whose vector fields and readout maps are analytic semi-algebraic functions. In this paper we will present a characterization of minimality in terms of observability and reachability and show that minimal Nash systems are isomorphic. the results are local in nature, i.e. they hold only for small time intervals. the hope is that the presented results can be extended to hold globally.

Large language models (LLMs) are revolutionizing numerous domains withtheir remarkable natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, attracting significant interest and widespread adoption. However, deploying LLMs in resource-constrained environments, such as edge computing and robotics systems without server infrastructure, while also aiming to minimize latency, presents significant challenges. Another challenge lies in delivering medical assistance to remote areas with limited healthcare facilities and infrastructure. To address this, we introduce RoboMed, an on-premise healthcare robot that utilizes compact versions of large language models (tiny-LLMs) integrated with LangChain as its backbone. Moreover, it incorporates automatic speech recognition (ASR) models for user interface, enabling efficient, edge-based preliminary medical diagnostics and support. RoboMed employs model optimizations to achieve minimal memory footprint and reduced latency during inference on embedded edge devices. the training process optimization involves low-rank adaptation (LoRA), which reduces the model's complexity without significantly impacting its performance. For fine-tuning, the LLM is trained on a diverse medical dataset compiled from online health forums, clinical case studies, and a distilled medicine corpus. this fine-tuning process utilizes reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) to further enhance its domain-specific capabilities. the system is deployed on Nvidia Jetson development board and achieves 78% accuracy in medical consultations and scores 56 in USMLE benchmark, enabling an resource-efficient healthcare assistance robot that alleviates privacy concerns due to edge-based deployment, thereby empowering the community.

the paper considers the problem of ship path-following system design based on input-output feedback linearization method combined withthe robust control approach. At first, the nonlinear process model is linearized by means of partial coordinate transform and a simple system nonlinearity cancellation. Since the exact values of the model parameters are not known, the ensuing inaccuracies are taken as disturbances acting on the system. thereby we obtain a linear system with an extra term representing the uncertainty which can be treated by using robust, H-infinity optimal control techniques. the performed simulations of ship path-following process confirmed a high performance of the proposed controller despite the assumed significant errors of its parameters.

A method of irregular patterns learning and matching in an example computer vision system designed for eye tracking is presented. the main considered issue is the problem of patterns learning. In the presented solution it requires creation of a set of patterns with some kind of dynamic management. An adaptation of the set of patterns was achieved in that way that a new pattern may be added to the set of patterns and next undergoes an evolution during the process of matching. the matching method is based on the Hough transform for irregular patterns. In order to guarantee the performance the process of patterns matching is supported by a histogram analysis.

In this paper, the possibility of the application of the Balance-Based Adaptive control (B-BAC) methodology to controlthe second order system is discussed. Conventionally, the B-BAcontroller is based on the simplified first order dynamical model of the process, which stands as the significant limitation when the real system is of the higher order. Due to the application of the suggested quasi-cascade control structure, this constraint is removed and the superiority of this approach is presented by the simulation experiments.
