For the past few decades, robotic exoskeletons have been the subject of extensive research in research laboratories. The level of performance and reliability of these systems has steadily increased. Today, these applications involve neuromotor rehabilitation and, more marginally, support for patients suffering from motor impairments. In this context, we designed and built a motorized exoskeleton with two degrees of freedom for the functional support of the lower limbs. The design was developed taking into account the different constraints related to the anatomy of the human being lower limb and the kinematicstatic compatibility and the transparency of the structure. Elastic actuators, which combine deformable elements and conventional DC motors have been produced and associated with the mechanical structure. The electronic part was also developed to instrument and control the joints of the exoskeleton. After the modeling, we have synthesized and implemented several control approaches, namely PID and Twisting second order sliding mode. The results obtained showed the capacity of the exoskeleton to perform walking cycles and its robustness with regard to external disturbances.

Mountain and foothill landscapes are complex techno and natural systems consisting of subsystems, each of which is defeated of destructive influence of water runoff. One of the most effective ways to solve this problem is computer simulation of processes using the mathematical planning theory based on a computational experiment. A methodology of model development is proposed, as well as an integral indicator that takes into account such factors as: reliability, efficiency and environmental friendliness.

An accurate inverse dynamics model of robotic systems is key in robotic applications. Analytic inverse dynamics models suffer from uncertainties of physical parameters estimation, some complex frictions and actuator dynamics. In such cases, developing machine learning algorithm to approximate the inverse dynamics model from collected data become a hot research field. In this paper, a novel approach based on Self-Organizing Map Gaussian Process Regression (SOM-GPR) is proposed for modeling inverse dynamics of a robotic arm, which is a combination of the SOM and GPR. In our method, we use the SOM neural network to divide the global GP model into multiple small-sized local GP models. The prediction for a test point is performed by the nearest local GP model. With our approach, we can achieve the accurate modeling of robot inverse dynamics models. The effectiveness of our proposed algorithm has been verified in the experiment. The result of the experiment shows that the combination of two techniques we propose has a better performance over other extensions of GPR applied to learn the inverse dynamics model.

Traditional software testing methods are inefficient in cases where data inputs alone do not determine the outcome of a program's execution. In order to verify such software, testing is often complemented by analysis of the execution trace. For monitoring the execution trace, most approaches today insert additional instructions at the binary level, making the monitoring intrusive. Binary instrumentation operate on a low level, making it difficult to properly modify a program's states and to quantify its code coverage. In this paper, we present a framework for testing complex embedded multithreaded software on the logical level. Testing software on this level avoids dependency on concrete compilers and relates the execution to the source code, thus enabling coverage. Our non-intrusive execution monitoring and control is implemented using the LLVM interpreter compiler infrastructure. Instead of forcing thread interleaving, we suggest simulating interleaving effects through non-intrusive changes of shared variables. This makes it possible to test a single thread without executing the full software stack, which is especially useful in situations where the full software stack is not available (e.g., pre-integration testing). We complement existing approaches with new features such as dynamic configuration of monitoring and execution roll-back to the checkpoints. Our approach introduces acceptable overhead without any complex setup.

This paper considers the computational modeling of the class of bilinear controlsystems for hyperbolic conservation laws with nonstandard boundary conditions. These systems arise from (control) engineering applications of systems displaying propagation phenomena, i.e., integrating steam, water, and gas pipes. The aim of this paper is achieved by means of a systematic computational procedure previously introduced and adapted here for the class of systems under consideration. The procedure, based on a convergent Method of Lines ensures the convergence of the approximate numerical solution and also the preservation of the basic properties of the "true" solution as well as its Lyapunov stability. Thus, the approximate computational model allows numerical quantitative and qualitative analysis relevant to a specific problem. The computational efficiency of the procedure is ensured by its implementation based on some, possibly massively, parallel-structured devices belonging to the Artificial Intelligence field-the cell-based recurrent neural networks. As a case study, we consider a control system occurring in the cogeneration process (combined heat and electricity generation). A comparison between the results of the qualitative analysis and those of the numerical simulations demonstrates the correctness and effectiveness of the computational procedure for the dynamics and transients analysis. The paper ends with some conclusions and a list of open problems.

In the progress of constructing a smart city, large amounts of univariate and multivariate times series data is generated by complex real-world systems and internet of things(IoT) with sensors such as wearable devices. Abnormal status in univariate and multivariate time series are necessary to be identified by abnormal detection methods. Time series forecasting in univariate and multivariate which refers to detect the different patterns in the input time series is significant for managers. However, building a system for anomaly detection and forecasting is challenging. On the one hand, the temporal dependency is required to capture in time series data, on the other hand, inter-correlations in different pairs of time series data are so important for the system that the system needs to encode inter-correlations. In this work, we propose an Attention based Convolutional Recurrent Encoder-Decoder (ACRED), which is effective to address anomaly detection and forecasting problems in time series. The studies based on a Secure Water Treatment tested (SWaT) dataset suggest that ACRED can outperform popular deep recurrent neural network methods.
