As the number of and capabilities of distributed and inverter-based energy resources increase, there is also an increasing opportunity to utilize such devices to provide resilience to large-scale power outages. During traditional power system restoration, natural hazard disruption or cyber attack of a central controller could cause the necessary processes to halt, but self-determining, decentralized schemes provide new opportunities for robustness. Therefore, a collaborative, autonomous restoration method is proposed and demonstrated in the field on a test microgrid with distributed energy resources. The methodology and test set-up is described and field demonstration results provided. The novel method is shown to effectively black start the microgrid using grid-forming inverter-based resources in a decentralized fashion, enabling future grid reliability even in the face of natural hazards and cyber disruptions.

Model predictive control (MPC) has recently been considered for many permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM) drive applications. However, the conventional MPC lacks accurate current tracking and fast dynamic responses in the overmodulation region and the six-step operation, which limits its application areas. This paper proposes a six-step operation scheme based on MPC for PMSM drives in traction applications. The current trajectory long-horizon prediction and the average current-based objective function are introduced to determine the optimal switching instants. To enhance the method’s precision, a trapezoidal integration rule has been used in the prediction step. The voltage angle control principle is introduced to clamp the voltage vectors. The effectiveness of the proposed method has been validated by detailed studies. The proposed method is demonstrated to have excellent current tracking accuracy and fast dynamic response in six-step operation, which is an advantage over existing methods.

In human-robot interaction (HRI), human pose estimation is a necessary technology for the robot to perceive the dynamic environment and make interactive actions. Recently, graph convolutional networks (GCNs) have been increasingly used for 2D to 3D pose estimation tasks since the skeleton topologies can be viewed as graph structures. In this paper, we propose a novel graph convolutional network architecture, Multi-scale Multi-branch Fusion Graph Convolutional Networks (MSMB-GCN), for 3D Human Pose Estimation(3D HPE) task. The proposed model consists of multiple GCN blocks with a multi-branch architecture. This multi-branch architecture enables the model to get multi-scale features for human skeletal representations. The group of GCN blocks, which has strong multi-level feature extraction capabilities, allows the model to learn global and local features, lower-level and higher-level features. Experiment results on the HumanPose benchmark demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art and ablation studies validate the effectiveness of our approach.

In the context of robotics, accurate 3D human pose estimation is essential for enhancing human-robot collaboration and interaction. This manuscript introduces a multi-view 2D to 3D lifting optimization-based method designed for video-based 3D human pose estimation, incorporating temporal information. Our technique addresses key challenges, namely robustness to 2D joint detection error, occlusions, and varying camera perspectives. We evaluate the performance of the algorithm through extensive experiments on the MPI-INF-3DHP dataset. Our method demonstrates very good robustness up to 25 pixels of 2D joint error and shows resilience in scenarios involving several occluded joints. Comparative analyses against existing 2D to 3D lifting and multi-view methods showcase good performance of our approach.

We propose a cavity quantum electrodynamic system consisting of a five-level atom coupled to a single mode of the cavity electromagnetic field. The study is focused on the regime of strong coupling between the cavity and atom. Pump laser fields and cavity fields connect the split energy levels of the atom. Instead of the well-known two-level Dicke model obtained by adiabatic elimination of the high-energy levels, we consider the pump lasers' detunings to the atomic transitions to be very small such that we can examine the influence of the higher-energy states. We have studied the effect of an external coherent drive and incoherent pumping on these higher-energy levels and observed the enhancement of intracavity photon numbers due to quantum coherence effects. The amplification of intracavity photons is achieved even without a population inversion. However, the effect of the coherent and incoherent drive is negligible for very large detunings when the higher-energy states are adiabatically eliminated. At zero and small detunings, the system reaches the steady state at an earlier instant of time for higher incoherent pumping. We find an almost agreeable steady-state behavior of the system's exact full quantum dynamics model and its semiclassical approximation. Our model tries to accurately simulate the open system by considering the cavity decay, spontaneous decay, and dephasing of the system.
