We present a procedure for reducing the number of continuous states of discrete-time linear switched systems, such that the reduced system has the same behavior as the original system for a subset of switching sequences. The proposed method is expected to be useful for abstraction based control synthesis methods for hybrid systems.

This paper presents an evolutionary approach to multi-objective path planning. The paths are defined on continuous scenes with disjoint and/or non-convex obstacles, for robots moving towards their destinations along linearly piecewise trajectories with any number of vertices. The fastest feasible route is genetically selected via a simultaneous minimization of path length and path steering angle. In order to assure an effective partial sorting of the potential solutions, the genetic algorithm makes use of a self-adaptive Pareto ranking scheme, based on individuals' grouping and dominance analysis. Before ranking, all the unfeasible solutions are corrected, by replacing the sub-paths which intersect the obstacles. The feasible segments are chosen from graphs generated with Delaunay triangulation, by applying a new multi-objective ranking-based fastest path procedure derived from the classical Dijsktra's algorithm. This new procedure is compatible with any nonlinear objective functions and allows using the same ranking scheme during the evolutionary search and correction of paths, thus making possible to guarantee the feasibility of the paths without any significant intrusion in the evolutionary exploration. The proposed algorithm can also be used for solving any graph - based path planning problem, involving any number of objectives. The experiments show the usefulness of the suggested techniques on working scenes with different layouts of obstacles.

Tsunamis pose a great threat to coastal infrastructures. Bridges without adequate provisions for earthquake and tsunami loading generally are vulnerable when a tsunami occurs. During the last two disastrous tsunami events (i.e., the tsunami in the Indian Ocean and the tsunami that struck Japan), many bridges were damaged by the waves created by the tsunamis. In this paper, in order to address this crucial problem, we used soft computing techniques to design and develop a process that simulates the effects of perforations in the girders of bridges on reducing the forces applied on the bridge when a tsunami occurs. Soft computing methods have very good learning and prediction capabilities, which make it an effective tool for dealing with the uncertainties encountered when waves are generated by a tsunami. Laboratory experiments were conducted to acquire a better understanding of the effects of the factors involved and to check the data required for the soft computing methods. In order to predict the effects of perforations in the girder of a bridge on force reduction, novel intelligent soft computing schemes, support vector regression (SVR), and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) were investigated. In this study, the polynomial, linear, and radial basis function were used as the kernel function of the SVR to estimate the effects of perforations in a girder of a bridge. The performances of the proposed estimators were confirmed by simulation results. The SVR results were compared with the ANFIS results, and we observed that an improvement in predictive accuracy and the ability to generalize were achieved by the ANFIS approach.

A moment-matching method for the model reduction of linear switched systems (LSSs) is developed. The method is based upon a partial realization theory of LSSs and it is similar to the Krylov subspace methods used for moment matching for linear systems. The results are illustrated by a numerical example.

In this article a method for the detection of broken rotor bars in asynchronous machines operating under full load is presented. Unlike most Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) approaches, which operate in the frequency domain, our method operates in the time domain. The scheme is based on the use of a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) fault/anomaly detector. PCA is applied on the three stator currents to subsequently calculate the Q statistic which is employed for detecting the presence/absence of a fault. The efficiency of the proposed scheme was experimentally evaluated using different fault severity levels, ranging from 1/4 of a broken bar to three broken bars. The obtained results indicate that the method can detect the caused asymmetry with a very restricted amount of data.

The aim of this article is to establish an induced frame vibration and attenuation scheme, specifically targeting the area of multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), such as quadrotors. These types of unmanned small scale helicopters are characterized by small and light frames, which are vulnerable to vibrations induced by the operation of the motors or external environmental factors. The existence of such vibrations effecting the frame can significantly deteriorate the performance of the overall closed system and even drive it to instabilities. In this article spectral estimation schemes based on: a) Autoregressive (AR) modeling and b) Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) are being established and evaluated towards their ability to detect the induced vibration frequencies on the UAV, while an extended discussion is being presented on selecting the correct number of the identified induced vibrating frequencies. In a sequential stage, a vibration attenuation approach based on notch filtering is being presented, being able to correctly attenuate the induced vibrating frequencies in the measurements. The efficiency of the overall suggested scheme is being evaluated by experimental results that indicate the significant improvement in the measurements achieved by the direct application of the proposed scheme.
