This paper studies the containment and group dispersion control for a multi-robot system in the presence of dynamic leaders. Each robot is represented by a doubleintegrator dynamic model and a distributed control algorithm is developed to drive the multi-robot system to follow a group of dynamic leaders with containment and group dispersion behaviors. The effectiveness of the algorithm is then verified on a multi-robot control platform.

This paper presents a quantitative risk assessment method based on the use of hybrid causal logic in the socio-technical system, the influence in the technological aspects is analyzed as well as in the operational aspects. Different modeling techniques and analyzing methods are applied in this paper aiming at different angles in the socio-technical system. Event tree and fault tree are used to identify the deterministic causal paths between components, the non-deterministic causal relationships (especially focusing on the impact of human factors and organization) are determined with BNs (Bayesian networks) combining evidence theory and ! method. This paper has two objectives: One is that the hybrid causal framework for high-speed railway on-board ATP (Automatic Train Protection) equipment is presented to assess risks quantitatively. The other is that the influence of non-deterministic factors (human factors and organization) in ATP equipment is analyzed combining with Bayesian network, ! method and evidence theory.

In this article, a method to obtain spatial coordinate of spherical robot's moving platform using a single camera is proposed, and experimentally verified. The proposed method is an accurate, flexible and low-cost tool for the kinematic calibration of spherical-workspace mechanisms to achieve the desired accuracy in position. The sensitivity and efficiency of the provided method is thus evaluated. Furthermore, optimization of camera location is outlined subject to the prescribed cost functions. Finally, experimental analysis of the proposed calibration method on ARAS Eye surgery Robot (DIAMOND) is presented;In which the accuracy is obtained from three to six times better than the previous calibration.

This paper addresses the design of a distributed steady state filter for a sensor network. In the considered scenario, an estimate of the full system state is determined at each network node. The filter structure includes both measurement update terms from neighboring nodes, and a consensus term on the state estimates. The computation of the filter gains is recast as a convex optimization problem. Convergence of the estimation error variance is ensured at each network node and a guaranteed performance in the mean square sense is achieved. Extension of the method to linear parameter-varying systems yields a gain scheduled distributed filter.

This paper mainly discusses the remote tracking problem with partly quantized information and packet-dropout. Since the network exists between the remote plant and the local plant, any information transmitted between each other will experience the quantization errors and may be lost. In this situation, the controller of the local system needs to consider both the exact local information and the inaccurate remote information. A state feedback controller is adopted and the theorems to design such controller are given in terms of bilinear matrix inequalities(BMIs). Moreover, an algorithm is proposed and these BMIs are converted into a convex optimization problem. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by a simulation example.

Furnace exit gas temperature(FEGT) is the key parameter in the furnace ash fouling monitoring system. Since the standard least squares support vector machine(LSSVM) is not suitable for online identification and control of FEGT,a novel CM-LSSVM-PLS method is proposed to predict FEGT in this paper. In the process of CM-LSSVM-PLS method, c-means cluster(CM) algorithm is used to partition the training data into several different subsets by considering the characteristics of operational data. Submodels are subsequently developed in the individual subsets based on LSSVM method. Partial least squares algorithm(PLS) is employed as the combination strategy. The online updating algorithm is then applied to the CM-LSSVM-PLS model. The proposed online model is verified through operation data of a 300 MW generating unit. The simulation results show that the proposed online updating model is effective for online FEGT forecasting.
