In this study, the automatic technique for the continuous light sleep level estimation and prediction is developed. The ultimate purpose is to realize the automatic sleep level evaluation for short-term day time nap sleep. The main method is based on the conditional probability obtained according to the characteristics of neuro-physiological signals including EEG, EOG and EMG. The estimated and predicted sleep level are compared with the visual inspection. The obtained results showed that the presented automatic technique is practicable to be an assistant subjective evaluation tool for sleep level analysis.

The paper proposes a model recovery anti-windup (MRAW) scheme for linear time-invariant and discrete-time systems under magnitude and rate saturation. The method is a modified, discrete-time counterpart of the algorithm presented in [4]. As it is usual in the MRAW framework the AW compensator contains the exact copy of the plant in order that the ideal (unsaturated) behavior can be preserved in the states. The compensator is a controller that aims to push the plant towards this intended behavior. The design of this control action can be reduced to a construction of a stabilizing state feedback acting on the saturated plant. In [4] this feedback is a linear one, which is designed by convex optimization by enlarging the ellipsoidal approximation of the invariant domain. This paper presents a different, set-theoretic approach, which is based on the precise construction of the maximal control invariant set. The proposed control is a nonlinear one generated by point wise convex optimization.

Fabrication and assembly of highly articulating structures has been a challenge for manufacturing engineers for several years. This challenge is further enhanced when the structures are in the miniature size scales. As part of our previous work, we have developed a process called in-mold assembly to tackle this challenging manufacturing and assembly task. However, attaching the actuators to such miniature structures remains a challenging task and can be expensive in terms of costs. In this work, we will demonstrate a single step in-mold assembly method to fabricate miniature multi degree of freedom (DOF) mechanical devices with embedded SMA actuators. We have developed design optimization methods to shield the SMA actuators from the thermal cycles seen during the injection molding process. This is done to minimize thermal impact on the SMA actuators during embedding in in-mold assembled articulating joints. We have also developed experimental methods to calibrate the force and position of the embedded SMA actuators with respect to temperature. Our experimental results indicate that the SMA behavior is very repeatable with respect to temperature. Hence temperature can be used as a sensory feedback for position and force control. Using the approaches developed as part of this work, we have successfully fabricated an in-mold assembled multi DOF miniature robot with embedded SMA actuators.

The paper focuses on the design of look-ahead control, in which road inclinations, speed limits and traveling time are taken into consideration. In the control system the longitudinal control incorporates the brake and traction forces to achieve the required velocity. The advantage of the method is that during the travel of the vehicle the control calculates the appropriate velocity, with which the number of unnecessary accelerations and brakings and their durations can be significantly reduced. The velocity proposed by the automatic system may interfere with the velocity selected by the driver. In the paper the system based on look-ahead control is compared to a vehicle operated by a driver using a hardware-in-the-loop simulation system.
