A new 3D positioning algorithm for low cost robots is proposed. The algorithm is based on a Finite State Machine to estimate the position and orientation of the robot. The system sets dynamically the parameters of the algorithm and makes it independent of the noise in the sensors. The algorithm has been tested for differential wheel drive robots, however it can be used with different types of robots in a simple way. To improve the accuracy of the system, a new reference system based on the accelerometer of the robot is presented which reduces the accumulative error that the odometry produces.

Rolling element bearings constitute the key parts on rotating machinery and their fault diagnosis are of great importance. In this paper, a novel Two-Step fault diagnosis framework is proposed to diagnose the status of rolling element bearings with imbalanced data. The Wavelet Packet Transform (WPT) is used to determine the feature vectors. 16-dimensional wavelet packet node energies were extracted from the original datasets as the feature vectors prepared to input to the classifiers. Next, our proposed framework consists of two steps for the fault diagnosis, where Step One makes use of Weighted Extreme Learning Machine (weighted ELM) in an effort to classify the normal or abnormal categories, and Step Two further diagnoses the underlying anomaly in details. The effectiveness of our proposed approach is testified on the raw data collected from the rolling element bearing experiments conducted in our Institute, and the empirical results showed that our approach is really fast and can achieve the diagnosis accuracies more than 95%.

The mathematical models used in simulation must be reliable and trustworthy enough to describe the real systems with an appropriate accuracy. This simulation process is specially important in marine environment due to the changing environmental conditions, to the cost of the infrastructure needed to carry out tests, and to the need of calibration, deployment and recovery of the marine systems. If a reliable mathematical model of the vehicle is available, a part of the experimental tests can be avoided. In this paper we present a system identification technique based on genetic programming, the symbolic regression, to be applied on marine systems. In this sense, we show that it is possible to obtain a mathematical model of a ship for control purposes without the need of describing or knowing the model structure in advance, i.e., the identification itself provides the model structure that better describes the system. Thus, we can define a reliable black-box model that is computed in a simple way and where no many experimental data are needed. The model obtained is tested with additional data and manoeuvres to show its good performance and prediction ability.

In this paper the approach of automation of control processes of floating docks parameters on the basis of SCADA systems with wireless data transmission is presented. The hierarchical structure of SCADA system for floating docks docking operations, which has the decentralized information processing as well as individual software and hardware components, is given. The specialized human-machine interface for visual display of functioning of the floating docks docking operations SCADA system is designed. The efficiency of the proposed SCADA system is tested on the developed experimental stand.

Psychological studies have often suggested that internal models of the body and its structure are used to process sensory inputs such as proprioception from muscles and joints. Within robotics, there is often a need to have an internal representation of the body, integrating the multi-modal and multi-dimensional spaces in which it operates. Here we propose a body model in the form of a series of distributed spatial maps, that have not been purpose designed but have emerged through our experiments on developmental stages using a minimalist content-neutral approach. The result is an integrated series of 2D maps storing correlations and contingencies across modalities, which has some resonances with the structures used in the brain for sensorimotor coordination.
In this paper, we introduce a novel image reconstruction algorithm with Least Squares Support Vector Machines (LS SVM) and Simulated Annealing Particle Swarm Optimization (APSO), named SAP. This algorithm introduces s...

Iterative learning control can be applied to systems that execute the same finite duration task over and over again. The distinguishing feature is the use of information from previous executions to construct the input to the next one in the sequence, including time domain information that would be non-causal in standard control systems. Many algorithms or laws have been developed for an ever increasing range of applications. This paper develops a new law which is fully dynamic, not static, when implemented. Experimental verification results are also given.
In many navigational domains the traversability of cells is conditioned on the path taken. This is often the case in videogames, in which a character may need to acquire a certain object (i.e., a key or a flying suit)...

In this work we focus on the development of a new control strategy for the guidance of the Aerosonde UAV. An event-based control strategy has been developed with controllers that have a high efficiency in communication resources usage. The architecture that it is proposed has two principal parameters: the event threshold e̅ and the minimum inter-events time T min which permit to set the accuracy of the system and the communication bus efficiency. A test laboratory has been implemented in Matlab/Simulink environment and in the flight simulator FlightGear for testing the system. The event-based controller has been checked in perturbed environments (atmospheric gusts and sensor noise) and also it has been compared with a classical discrete-time PI controller. The results obtained show that this new strategy has a high efficiency in communication resources with a similar accuracy than the classical discrete-time control strategy.
