Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO) is a widely studied localization technique in robotics. State-of-the-art VIO algorithms are composed of two parts: a frontend which performs visual perception and inertial measurement pre-processing, and a backend which fuses vision and inertial measurements to estimate the robot's pose. Both image processing in the frontend and sensor fusion in the backend are computationally expensive, making it very challenging to run the VIO algorithm, especially the optimization-based VIO algorithm in realtime on embedded platforms with limited power budget. In this paper, a real-time optimization-based monocular VIO algorithm is proposed based on algorithm-and-hardware codesign and successfully implemented on an embedded platform with only 2.6W processor power consumption. In particular, the time-consuming Harris corner detection (HCD) is accelerated on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), achieving an average 16x processing time reduction compared with the ARM implementation. Compared with the state-of-the-art HCD accelerator provided by Xilinx, the hardware resource required of our accelerator is largely reduced without any compromise in speed, thanks to the proposed dedicated pruning and parallelization techniques. Finally, experiment on the public dataset demonstrates that the proposed real-time VIO algorithm on the FPGA-based platform has comparable accuracy with respect to the existing state-of-the-art VIO algorithm on the desktop, and 3 x faster frontend processing speed over the ARM-based implementation.

Edge computing enables smart IoT-based systems via concurrent and continuous execution of latency-sensitive machine learning (ML) applications. These edge-based machine learning systems are often battery-powered (i.e., energy-limited). They use heterogeneous resources with diverse computing performance (e.g., CPU, GPU, and/or FPGA) to fulfill the latency constraints of ML applications. The challenge is to allocate user requests for different ML applications on the Heterogeneous Edge computingsystems (HEC) with respect to both the energy and latency constraints of these systems. To this end, we study and analyze resource allocation solutions that can increase the on-time task completion rate while considering the energy constraint. Importantly, we investigate edge-friendly (lightweight) multi objective mapping heuristics that do not become biased toward a particular application type to achieve the objectives;instead, the heuristics consider "fairness" across the concurrent ML applications in their mapping decisions. Performance evaluations demonstrate that the proposed heuristic outperforms widely-used heuristics in heterogeneous systems in terms of the latency and energy objectives, particularly, at low to moderate request arrival rates. We observed 8.9% improvement in on-time task completion rate and 12.6% in energy-saving without imposing any significant overhead on the edge system.

In the context of advancing Home Energy Management systems (HEMS) technology and optimizing residential energy management, this paper introduces the design of a laboratory setup at the Smart Grids Test Lab (SGTL) to rigorously test and validate HEMS control strategies. Leveraging the principles of real-time simulation, this setup integrates Power Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) simulation with a multi-timescale co-simulation framework, allowing for comprehensive and multifaceted evaluation of HEMS control strategies in dynamic and realistic scenarios. The laboratory configuration encompasses a range of interconnected components, including AC and DC power sources, variable loads, a solar PV emulator, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) emulator, a Digital real-time Simulator (DRTS), and a supervisory controller. The pivotal feature of the setup lies in i) its integration of real-time simulation principles, which ensures that the simulation and physical components operate synchronously with actual time, as well as ii) co-simulation to consider the multi-energy aspect of residential buildings and associated appliances (electricity, heat, gaz, etc.). Consequently, HEMS control strategies can be subjected to varying conditions such as weather fluctuations, generation profiles, electricity and heat consumption profiles, tariff schemes, and user preferences, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of their capabilities. Furthermore, this paper incorporates a HEMS case study from a prior work of the team to give a practical applicability and relevance to the proposed laboratory setup.

The future medium-voltage (MV) distribution system will see more Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and a higher proliferation of multi-vendor Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) for node monitoring and feeder protection against faults. Recently, the IEC 61850 standard Generic Object Oriented Substation Event (GOOSE) protocol has been widely deployed for real-time monitoring, substation automation, and interoperability in power systems. However, the reliability of IEDs and GOOSE communication is critical due to evolving cyber-threats;this urgency stresses the importance of cyber-physical models to analyse the operational compatibility and vulnerabilities prior to deployment in the grid. This paper developed a Cyber-Physical Testbed that integrates a feeder protection relay (SEL-751) and real-time Automation Controller (SEL-3350 RTAC) with a high-fidelity real-time Digital Simulator (RTDS) via the GOOSE protocol. The feasibility of the testbed is validated with the RTDS in benchmark CIGRE European MV network, and performance is evaluated in two operating scenarios: steady-state and bolted 3-phase fault;and subsequently, frequency, active power, voltage, current and circuit breaker status were monitored in RTAC. Upon successful validation, the testbed is fit for applications such as assessing cyber-threats, testing control algorithms and resiliency;it also serves as a foundation for researchers and automation engineers who are new to IEC 61850 GOOSE.
