The automatic human facial emotion recognition (AHFER) system has its wide significant contribution in several disciplines, such as human-computer collaboration, human-robot interaction, and so on. Multiple research projects have been conducted regarding this topic because it is a challenging and interesting task, especially in the area of computer vision. The purpose of the work is to recognize facial emotions using a depthwise separable convolutional neural network (DS-CNN). Apart from that, a facial emotion dataset has been proposed, and splitting functions, intensity normalization, image cropping, and grayscale conversion have been used in data pre-processing. The AHFER system is capable of recognizing four types of emotions: happy, sad, angry, and neutral. The results of the experiment showed that the AHFER method is 99 percent accurate when training and 93 percent accurate when validating. Additionally, we determined the confusion matrix with precision, recall, and fl-score. A comparison between the DS-CNN and DNN models was performed. The DS-CNN model performed significantly better than the DNN model. The DS-CNN model could be improved in the future by including more facial emotion categories.

Enhancing traffic efficiency and alleviating(even circumventing) traffic congestion with advanced traffic signal control(TSC) strategies are always the main issues to be addressed in urban transportation systems. Since model predictive control(MPC) has a lot of advantages in modeling complex dynamic systems, it has been widely studied in traffic signal control over the past 20 years. There is a need for an in-depth understanding of MPC-based TSC methods for traffic networks. Therefore, this paper presents the motivation of using MPC for TSC and how MPC-based TSC approaches are implemented to manage and control the dynamics of traffic flows both in urban road networks and freeway networks. Meanwhile, typical performance evaluation metrics, solution methods, examples of simulations,and applications related to MPC-based TSC approaches are reported. More importantly, this paper summarizes the recent developments and the research trends in coordination and control of traffic networks with MPC-based TSC approaches. Remaining challenges and open issues are discussed towards the end of this paper to discover potential future research directions.

In this paper, a novel smooth magnetron is introduced to construct a fractional memristor Hopfield neural network (fractional order M-HNN). The local stability of equilibrium point are analyzed theoretically. Taking the memristor coupling strength coefficient and the fractional order as bifurcation parameters, the phase trajectory diagram, the bifurcation diagram of the system are drawn to analyze the influence on the dynamic behavior of the neural network. When the system parameters are fixed, the hyperchaos phenomenon of the fractional order M-HNN model is revealed. Finally, the PD controller is applied to the model to enhance the stability of the system.

We construct an adaptive controller for a linear minimum-phase system of an arbitrary relative degree with an unknown bounded disturbance and dynamically quantized measurements. The key novelty is the extension of the shunting method (parallel feedforward compensator) to plants with bounded disturbances. This method leads to an augmented system of relative degree one that is stabilized by a passification-based adaptive controller. Moreover, we design a switching procedure for the controller parameters and the quantizer’s zoom that ensures the state convergence from an arbitrary set to an ellipsoid whose size depends on the disturbance bound. The results are demonstrated by an example of an aircraft flight control.

In this paper, a novel distributed model predictive control (MPC) scheme with asymmetric adaptive terminal sets is developed for the regulation of large-scale systems with a distributed structure. Similar to typical MPC schemes, a structured Lyapunov matrix and a distributed terminal controller, respecting the distributed structure of the system, are computed offline. However, in this scheme, a distributed positively invariant terminal set is computed online and updated at each time instant taking into consideration the current state of the system. In particular, we consider ellipsoidal terminal sets as they are easy to compute for large-scale systems. The size and center of these terminal sets, together with the predicted state and input trajectories, are considered as decision variables in the online phase. The efficacy of the proposed scheme is illustrated in simulation by comparing it to a recent distributed MPC scheme with adaptive terminal sets.
