The design of an optimal and robust controller is critical for any application subjected to time delays between the start of an event at one point in a system and its resulting action at another point. This paper discusses and compares three different controllers, namely fuzzy, fractional-order and integer-order proportional integral derivative (FPID, IPID) controllers for the purpose of small satellites attitude control. This paper introduces the background knowledge related to the three different controllers. The second one evaluates their performance based on their ability to provide an optimal attitude control scheme for small satellites. The controllers are evaluated in the time-domain based on different performance measures (e.g., overshoot, transient response, and steady-state error). Simulation results illustrate the superiority of FPID over IPID and fuzzy controllers for this specific application and reinforces the power of fractional calculus in dealing with nonlinear systems.

An important aspect of spiking neural network research is the implementation of environments and scenarios to develop and test novel theories of function and adaptation. In addition to embodying a model in the physical world, there are a number of strategies for virtually embedding neural models. Two popular approaches are using existing games or creating custom environments. Both of these however, can require significant software development in addition to the difficulty in creating compelling visual elements. The visual world can not only be the most time-consuming to develop but to render as well. Furthermore, it is often the most unnecessary aspect of the research. In this work we briefly explore using the entity system paradigm as the foundation of a generic framework for developing virtual environments independent of the visualization. This is contrasted with using an object-oriented approach for the same goal. The resulting framework not only simplifies the development of novel virtual environments but provides a higher level of code reuse.
Reduction in energy consumption is of paramount importance due to the influence that it has on the economic, politics and on the use of natural resources. Within this field, energy efficiency in buildings sector const...

Hybrid systems with memory are dynamical systems exhibiting both hybrid and delay phenomena. We present a general modelling framework for such systems using hybrid functional inclusions, whose generalized solutions are defined on hybrid time domains and evolve in the phase space of hybrid memory arcs equipped with the graphical convergence topology. We prove a general existence result based on some basic conditions on the data of hybrid systems. We further establish sufficient conditions for the stability analysis of hybrid systems with memory using Lyapunov-Razumikhin (L-R) functions. We demonstrate the stability results on a general nonlinear system with switching dynamics and state jumps.

Medical surgeries in the space environment, including long term space travel (e.g., to Mars) and permanent presence on other planetary bodies (e.g., Moon and Mars), are posing an inherent logistical, and in the absence of appropriately trained personnel (i.e., surgeons), even a potentially life-threatening challenge. As a potential mitigation the use of an existing surgical trainer tool that would allow crewmembers to acquire basic surgical skills is proposed, and to train space station personnel both in space and on the Moon and Mars to hone these skills long-term. Furthermore, this tool would potentially allow for tele-conducted surgeries, akin to the da Vinci Surgical System, controlled from Earth but executed onboard, e.g., the International Space Station. On Earth the surgical trainer can be used to train surgeons and flight surgeons. The efficiency of any surgical training system plays a significant role in its reduction of operative risks and stress associated with insufficient experience of the trainee. The primary goal of such systems is to raise the trainee to a higher level of proficiency without putting patients at risk in the operating room. The prototype for the computer Assisted Surgical Trainer (CAST) being developed at the University of Arizona realizes an optimal motion-planning algorithm. The underlying system consists of mechanical fixtures equipped with encoders and DC motors. This hardware provides a means to accurately track the tip movements of laparoscopic instruments used in minimally invasive surgery. Furthermore it provides haptic and visual feedback to trainees by using a PID controller and augmented reality visualization. Examples of surgical guidance and the improvement of surgeon performance over time using CAST are presented.

For the simulation of large-scale AC/DC hybrid systems, both the precision of the DC parts and the efficiency of the whole system should be considered. Thus a real-time hybrid transient simulation platform is proposed by combining the real-time digital simulator (RTDS) and a transient stability analysis (TSA) program. A latest GTFPGA card is used to realize the high speed digital communication between RTDS and the computer deploying TSA program. Moreover, the frequency dependent network equivalent (FDNE) is implemented in this simulation platform to improve the accuracy of simulation results. By simulating a modified New England 39-bus test system incorporating high-voltage direct current (HVDC) components, the validity of the proposed simulation platform is verified.
