In this paper, we propose a new model reduction technique for linear stochastic systems that builds upon knowledge filtering and utilizes optimal Kalman filtering techniques. This new technique will reduce the dimension of the noise disturbance and will allow any controller designed for the reduced model to be refined into a controller for the original stochastic system, while preserving any specification on the output. Although initially the reduced model will be time-varying, a method will be provided with which the reduced model can become time-invariant if it satisfies some minor technical conditions. We present our theoretical findings with an example that supports the proposed framework and illustrates how model reduction and controller refinement of stochastic systems can be achieved. We finish the paper by considering specific examples to analyze both completeness with respect to controller synthesis and model order reduction with respect to the state.

1 Currently, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are extensively used in several safety-critical domains to support the implementation of complex operations where reliability is a major concern. Some internal cores, such as Special Function Units (SFUs), are increasingly adopted, being crucial to achieving the necessary performance in multimedia, scientific computing, and neural network training. Unfortunately, these cores are highly unexplored in terms of their impact on *** this work, we evaluate the incidence of SFUs on the reliability of GPUs when affected by soft errors. First, we analyze the impact of SFU cores on the GPU’s reliability and the running workloads. We resort to applications configured to use or not the SFU cores and evaluate the effect of soft errors by using a software-based fault injection environment (NVBITFI) in an NVIDIA Ampere GPU. Then, we focus on evaluating the impact of soft errors arising in the SFUs. A fine-grain RTL evaluation determines the soft error effects on two SFUs architectures for GPUs (’fused’ and ’modular’). The experiments use an open-source GPU (FlexGripPlus) instrumented with both SFU architectures. The results suggest that workloads using SFUs are more vulnerable to faults (from 1 up to 5 orders of magnitude for the analyzed applications). Moreover, the RTL results show that modular SFUs are less vulnerable to faults (in up to 47% for the analyzed workloads) in comparison with fused SFUs (base of commercial devices), so allowing us to identify the more robust SFU architecture.

The first course of control is under a critical review. Both the teaching material covered and the teaching methods require new considerations. Introducing interactivity in the education process makes the learning more successful and enjoyable. MATLAB provides an effective environment for learning and applying different disciplines. control101 is a new MATLAB toolbox under development which provides tools for interactive learning of control disciplines. This paper presents the framework for teaching discrete control algorithms applied for processes containing large dead times.

Output voltage regulation in a boost converter with Constant Power Load (CPL) can be obtained by means of sliding-mode control with a linear estimation loop of the output power. The estimation procedure is a simple integrator of the output voltage error and confers an adaptive nature on the switching regulator. Two switching surfaces of quadratic type are considered to induce the sliding motions, and the corresponding conditions for the existence of both sliding mode and stability of the equilibrium point are derived. The resulting controller can be implemented using simple analog electronics requiring operational amplifier-based circuits in both cases plus a multiplier in one case and a multiplier and a divider in the other case. PSIM and MATLAB simulations show a fast recovery and zero steady-state output voltage error in response to large-signal disturbances in the output voltage and the load power.

This study presents an adaptive fractional sliding mode control (AFSMC) strategy for finite-time trajectory tracking of differential drive mobile robots (DDMR) in the presence of system uncertainties and external disturbances. The proposed control strategy employs a fractional-order sliding surface and an optimized reaching law to ensure finite-time convergence of tracking errors while retaining robustness against external disturbances. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is employed for offline parameter tuning, where its capability to efficiently handle a large parameter space makes it an ideal choice for optimizing the control system, ensuring both enhanced performance and computational feasibility. Simulation tests comparing the AFSMC with a conventional SMC show that the AFSMC exhibits higher tracking accuracy, robustness, and precise linear and angular velocity tracking. The results demonstrate the AFSMC's resilience to disturbances and minimal steady-state error, even under challenging conditions.

This paper presents a novel aerial robotics application of instance segmentation-based floating litter collection with a multi-rotor aerial vehicle (MRAV). In the scope of the paper, we present a review of the available datasets for litter detection and segmentation. The reviewed datasets are used to train a Mask-RCNN neural network for instance segmentation. The neural network is off-board deployed on an edge computing device and used for litter position estimation. Based on the estimated litter position, we plan a path based on a quadratic Bezier curve for the litter pickup. We compare different trajectory generation methods for the object pickup. The system is verified in a laboratory environment. Eventually, we present practical considerations and improvements necessary to enable autonomous litter collection with MRAV.

We study the computation of the global generalized Nash equilibrium (GNE) for a class of non-convex multi-player games, where players' actions are subject to both local and coupling constraints. Due to the non-convex payoff functions, we employ canonical duality to reformulate the setting as a complementary problem. Under given conditions, we reveal the relation between the stationary point and the global GNE. According to the convex-concave properties within the complementary function, we propose a continuous-time mirror descent to compute GNE by generating functions in the Bregman divergence and the damping-based design. Then, we devise several Lyapunov functions to prove that the trajectory along the dynamics is bounded and convergent.

This article presents the problem of designing a nonlinear observer for an active magnetic suspension system. The design process of the nonlinear Luenberger observer (also known as the Kazantzis-Kravaris-Luenberger observer) is discussed. Particular attention was paid to the main nonlinearity of the system - the electromagnetic force, which was modeled applying the function describing the change in inductance as a function of the distance of the levitating object from the electromagnet surface. Theoretical analyses were confirmed by the results of experimental studies in which the task of moving the sphere between the given positions using current control was carried out. control tasks were conducted in the real-time regime on an embedded platform. The measured signals and estimated velocity were analyzed in the context of future implementations in control applications.
