Strategies to reduce slippage and disturbing wheelterrain interactions are essential to improve navigation and motion control of field robots. Thus, this work proposes an integral control architecture based on a distributed tube-based nonlinear Model Predictive Control scheme to regulate tire dynamics and an adaptive model-based control scheme for trajectory tracking over deformable terrain. For the proposed control architecture, the overall system is decomposed into simpler subsystems to separately represent the four-tire driven motion dynamics (i.e., slip and sideslip) from that of the vehicle's pose and speeds. Since a vehicle and its tires have different dynamic response characteristics, cooperative agents of the distributed control strategy are able to exchange information between subsystems to attain evenly allocated drivetrain torques during slippery situations. The motion controller is made adaptive to terra-mechanical parameters with a NonlinearMoving Horizon Estimation approach working under a parallelreal-time Iteration scheme. Field experimentations in an industrial compact loader Cat degrees 262 C subject to off-road conditions demonstrated that the proposed approach was capable of reducing up to a minimum of 18.2% of tire slip and sidelip range of +/- 6.6 degrees when compared to its non-robust counterpart. Consequently, the proposed approach was also able to reduce lateral and longitudinal trajectory tracking errors by around 66.6% and 43.7%, respectively, which may have a direct impact on the resources of the machinery.

This work aims to develop a novel system, including software and hardware, to perform independent control tasks in a genuine parallel manner. Currently, to control processes with various sampling periods, distributed control systems are most commonly utilized. The main goal of this system is to propose an alternative solution, which allows simultaneous control of both fast and slow processes. The presented approach utilizes FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) with Nios II processor (Intel Soft Processor Series) to implement and maintain instances of independent controllers. Instances can implement FDMC (Fast Dynamic Matrix Control) and PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control algorithms with various sampling times. The FPGA-based design allows for true independence of controllers' execution both from one another and the managing processor. Also, pure parallel execution allows for implementing slow and fast controllers in the same device. The complete flexible system with a matrix of controllers working in parallel in real-time was tested with both simulated and actual control processes (servomotor), yielding the same results as fully simulated experiments.

Nowadays, Internet of things has become as an inevitable aspect of humans' IT-based life. A huge number of geo-distributed IoT enabled devices such as smart phones, smart cameras, health care systems, vehicles, etc. are connected to the Internet and manage users' applications. The IoT applications are generally time sensitive, so that giving them up to Cloud and receiving the response may violate their required deadline, due to distance between user device and centralized Cloud data center and consequently increasing network latency. Fog environment, as an intermediate layer between Cloud and IoT devices, brings a smaller scales of Cloud capabilities closer to user location. Processing realtime applications in Fog layer helps more deadlines to be met. Although Fog computing enhances quality of service parameters, limited resources and power of Fog nodes is a challenge in processing applications. Furthermore, the network latency is still an issue for communications between applications' services and between user device and Fog node, which seriously threatens deadline condition. Regarding to mentioned points, this paper proposes a 3-partite deadline-aware applications' services placement optimization model in Fog environment which optimizes total power consumption, total resources wastage, and total network latency, simultaneously. The proposed model prioritizes applications in 3 levels based on their associated deadline, and then the model is solved using a parallel model of first fit decreasing and genetic algorithm combination. Simulations results indicates the superiority of proposed approach against counterpart algorithms in terms of reducing power consumption, resource wastage, network latency, and service rejection rate.

This paper proposes a real-time power system simulation framework that is capable of simulating steady state and electromechanical transients of power systems, with sub-millisecond time resolution. The framework can integrate power system component models packed as reusable Functional Mockup Units (FMUs) to flexibly create power system simulations without the need to recreate new models for different power systems. The integration of individual components is based on a novel model decomposition method, which enables the FMU reuse in different system contexts, as well as a parallel simulation execution onto multi-core machines. Furthermore, the paper proposes methods to optimize the allocation of components to cores and shows that the framework can simulate a medium voltage distributed electrical grid of about 20 components in real-time on a commodity multi-core machine.

Various researchers have actively addressed several decentralised control techniques for voltage source converter (VSC) dominated islanded microgrid over the years. However, voltage and frequency control, proper power -sharing, and power quality are open issues for autonomous microgrid VSC systems. A unique voltage and fre-quency control approach is proposed for an autonomous microgrid VSC-based distributed generation (DG) system. The proposed scheme has three folds. An improved double band hysteresis current controller (IDBHCC) is proposed for a three-phase inverter interfaced DG in an islanded microgrid application. The IDBHCC scheme encompasses a common-mode third-harmonic to the current control error, which extends the linear operating range of the VSC and also effectively reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD), thus improving the power quality. Additionally, effective current regulation is achieved by separating common-mode interacting current from the measured current. Furthermore, a proportional-integral fractional-order derivative with filter (PIFODN) controller is introduced for the inner loop voltage control, which provides extra flexibility owing to its fractional properties. A sparrow search algorithm is employed to tune the controller parameters for optimum PIFODN controller control action. Bandpass filter droop, an analogous secondary control method with plug-and-play capabilities, is adopted to enable appropriate load sharing among parallel DG inverters and alleviate fre-quency and voltage variation. The proposed control scheme performance is validated via SimPowerSystem tools in the Matlab Simulink for single and multi DG microgrid systems. The proposed control method has also been tested in the OPALRT-4510 real-time simulator as well. The results have shown that the proposed control method is very good at controlling voltage and frequency with a quick response time. The PIFODN controller has a better dynamic response and is better at handling c

distributed learning enables efficient training with large-scale data, allowing processing to occur in multiple locations without centralization. However, the “straggler problem”, refer-ring to delayed update due to performance heterogeneity, hinders efficient learning. GPUs are crucial for enhancing learning speed by efficiently processing large-scale data through parallel computing capabilities. Efficient GPU utilization, considering resource costs, is essential for reducing training time and costs. Meanwhile, Kubernetes offers scalability, management ease, and resource provisioning for efficient operations. In this paper, we propose a Kubernetes-based vertical scaling scheme to address FL's straggler problem. For GPU scaling, we formulate an opti-mization problem that considers both resource cost and learning speed. Then, we propose a DRL-based approach to address this problem. We also leverage various Kubernetes features as well as CUDA Multi-Process Service (MPS) for execution of vertical scaling. We validate the proposed scheme's performance through various evaluations on a real testbed.

This study investigates modeling the dynamics of a 3D translational parallel manipulator with closed chains using feedforward neural networks (FFNNs). The dataset exceeds 50,000 samples, incorporating experimental data collected from a robot prototype using MATLAB (R) real-timeworkshop and the National Instruments (TM) DAQ toolbox, as well as CAD simulation data from MSC ADAMS software. While achieving satisfactory mean squared error (MSE), some predictions did not fully capture the manipulator's dynamics, with small overfitting observed. A Deep Neural Network (DNN) was tested but faced overfitting and high computational costs, despite being trained on a subset of the dataset. This highlighted the limitations of DNNs for modeling such complicated parallel robots with closed chains and parallelograms. FFNNs were preferred for their simplicity and lower overfitting risk. L2 regularization and k-fold validation were applied to improve performance. Transfer learning (TL) was also employed, fine-tuning a new network with weights from pre-trained FFNNs using a smaller, unseen dataset. This approach significantly reduced MSE and completely eliminated overfitting, demonstrating the effectiveness of TL in refining model performance for forward and inverse dynamics. These findings suggest that FFNNs, combined with TL, L2 regularization, and k-fold validation, offer a robust method for accurately modeling complex robotic dynamics, enhancing control and optimization strategies for complicated robotic systems. Training for all networks was conducted within the MATLAB (R) environment.
