In this paper, we present a methodology that ensures a priori that all possible unknown dynamics of the system within a compact set of operation will be excited. A controller is used to make sure that the system with unknown dynamics will follow the reference trajectory and Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural networks are employed to estimate the unknown nonlinearities. The persistency of excitation condition is guaranteed as a prerequisite to achieve accurate estimation of the unknown nonlinear terms and efficient learning. A simulation example clarifies the proposed approach and verifies the aforementioned assertions.

In this paper, a new method is presented for the structure synthesis of Low-DOF symmetrical parallel manipulators based on the theory of screws. A parallel manipulator with three rotational DOFs and one translational DOF is used as an example to illustrate the procedure. All possible force constrained limb that can be used to construct low- DOF parallel manipulators can be enumerated, and the potential parallel mechanisms can be thus enumerated, which is very important for the optimal design of new parallel manipulators. Simulation results show the effectiveness and validity of this method.

In this paper, we combine navigation function-like potential fields and constraint based programming to achieve obstacle avoidance in formation. Constraint based programming was developed in robotic manipulation as a technique to take several constraints into account when controlling redundant manipulators. The approach has also been generalized, and applied to other controlsystems such as dual arm manipulators and unmanned aerial vehicles. Navigation functions are an elegant way to design controllers with provable properties for navigation problems. By combining these tools, we take advantage of the redundancy inherent in a multi-agent control problem and are able to concurrently address features such as formation maintenance and goal convergence, even in the presence of moving obstacles. We show how the user can decide a priority ordering of the objectives, as well as a clear way of seeing what objectives are currently addressed and what are postponed. We also analyze the theoretical properties of the proposed controller. Finally, we use a set of simulations to illustrate the approach.

In this paper we propose a novel distributed algorithm to solve degenerate linear programs on asynchronous networks. Namely, we propose a distributed version of the well known simplex algorithm. We prove its convergence to the global lexicographic minimum for possibly fully degenerate problems and provide simulations supporting the conjecture that the completion time scales linearly with the diameter of the graph. The algorithm can be interpreted as a dual version of the constraints consensus algorithm proposed in [1] to solve abstract programs when the last is applied to linear programs. Finally, we study a multi-agent task assignment problem and show that it can be solved by means of our distributed simplex algorithm.

In this paper, we revisit the Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller design for torque control of robotic manipulators, for which, appropriate tuning of the said controller could prove very burdensome, especially with increasing degrees-of-freedom (DOF) and/or when designing a Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO) PID controller. That is, when generating and tuning matrix P-I-D gains as opposed to single values, in order to take in account possible coupling effects between involved joints. We tackle both joint space and workspace PID control tuning problems for reference tracking from an optimization standpoint. Using a previously developed stable Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimizer, we are able to automatically and systematically tune P-I-D gains, be it as single gain values or gain matrices, while optimizing a cost or fitness function. The aforesaid cost function can be arranged to feature various aggregated performance measures, `normalized' so as to overcome differences in scale if any. Taking in account some practical limitations, a 2-DOF arm is used here as a case study. Numerical simulations are provided to substantiate the adequacy of our method.

Providing required quality of water delivered to the consumers is still a challenging operational task at drinking water distribution systems. Water quality meets the quality requirements at the outputs from the treatment plants but it may significantly deteriorate when travelling throughout the system and become not usable at the consumption nodes. It becomes then necessary to introduce secondary chlorine disinfection at certain nodes within the system network. The booster stations are located at these quality control nodes to inject the chlorine so that the quality requirements are met throughout the network, including the consumption nodes. The integrated quality and quantity optimized control can then be safely carried out in the system. The paper proposes a method for allocation of the booster stations such that a desired trade off between several objectives is robustly achieved. An advanced genetic solver of the derived optimization task is applied to determine the optimized allocation. The method is illustrated by application to the case study system.

We introduce a novel differentially private algorithm for online federated learning that employs temporally correlated noise to enhance utility while ensuring privacy of continuously released models. To address challenges posed by DP noise and local updates with streaming non-iid data, we develop a perturbed iterate analysis to control the impact of the DP noise on the utility. Moreover, we demonstrate how the drift errors from local updates can be effectively managed under a quasi-strong convexity condition. Subject to an $(\epsilon, \delta)$ DP budget, we establish a dynamic regret bound over the entire time horizon, quantifying the impact of key parameters and the intensity of changes in dynamic environments. Numerical experiments confirm the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.

A wearable ankle robot prototype for assistance to foot drop is presented in this work. This device is built with soft and hard materials and employs one inertial sensor. First, the ankle robot uses a high-level method, developed with a Bayesian formulation, for recognition of walking activities and gait periods. Second, a low-level method, with a proportional-integral-derivative controller (PID), controls the wearable device to operate in assistive and transparent modes. In an assistive mode, activated by the toe-off detection, the wearable device assists the human foot in dorsiflexion orientation to reduce the effect of foot drop abnormality. In a transparent mode, activated by the heel-contact detection, the robot device follows the movements performed by the human foot. The wearable prototype is validated with experiments, in simulation and real-time modes, for recognition of walking activity and control of assistive and transparent modes during walking. Experiments achieved 99.87% and 99.20% accuracies for recognition of walking activity and gait periods. Results also show the ability of the wearable robot to operate according to the gait period recognised during walking. Overall, this work offers a wearable robot prototype with the potential to assist the human foot during walking, which is important to allow subjects to recover their confidence and quality of life.
