This paper proposes data-driven Model-Free Control (MFC) algorithms for Multi Input-Multi Output (MIMO) twin rotor aerodynamic systems. A discrete-time formulation of the algorithms is given in the framework of a MIMO control system structure with azimuth and pitch position control loops. An optimal design approach of the MIMO MFC algorithms is proposed using a Linear Quadratic Regulator formulation. The sensitivity of the new MFC structure with respect to parametric variations of the aerodynamic system is checked against two additional structures that are also optimally designed. The case study also reveals how the sampling time influences the control system performance.

The paper presents aspects related to the design and implementation of a cascade control solution (CCS), which is tested on laboratory equipment meant for the position control of a ferromagnetic sphere in a Magnetic Levitation System with Two Electromagnets (MLS2EM). The nonlinear mathematical model (MM) of the MLS2EM is derived on the basis of the first principles equations with experimentally identified parameters. This MM is next linearized at two operating points. The CCS includes a state feedback controller in the inner loop and a model predictive controller in the outer loop. Experimental results are given in order to validate the proposed CCS and to illustrate the performance of the position control system expressed as very good dynamics and zero steady-state control error.

This paper presents details on the implementation of evolving Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy models of a nonlinear process represented by the pendulum dynamics in the framework of the representative pendulum-crane systems. The pendulum angle is the output variable of the TSK fuzzy models that are obtained by online identification. The rule bases and the parameters of the TSK fuzzy models are continuously evolved by an online identification algorithm (OIA) that adds new rules with more summarization power and modifies the existing rules and parameters. The OIA is associated with an input selection algorithm that guides the modelling in terms of ranking the inputs according to their importance factors. Three TSK fuzzy models evolved by the OIA are exemplified. The performance of the new evolving TSK fuzzy models is illustrated by experimental results conducted on pendulum-crane laboratory equipment.

This paper suggests an optimal behavior prediction mechanism for a control system, using previously learned solutions to simple tasks called primitives. The optimality of the behavior is formulated as a reference trajectory tracking problem. The primitives are stored in a library of pairs of reference input/controlled output signals. The reference input primitives are optimized in a Model-Free Iterative Learning Control framework without using knowledge of the controlled process. The new complex trajectories to be tracked are decomposed into the output primitives regarded as basis functions. The optimal reference input fed to the control system in order to track the desired new trajectory is then recomposed from the reference input primitives. The efficiency of this approach is demonstrated on a case study concerning the position control of a two-axis positioning mechanism in a laboratory crane system application.

The paper presents aspects related to the design and implementation of a Takagi-Sugeno (TS) proportionalderivative (PD) + integral (I) fuzzy controller for processes with variable moment of inertia. A two-step design method for the TS PD+I fuzzy controller applied to position control systems is proposed. The first step concerns the Extended Symmetrical Optimum method-based tuning of the parameters of linear PID controllers organized in a parallel scheme. The second step deals first with the fuzzification of the linear PD component in the PID controller scheme resulting in the TS PD fuzzy block (TS PD FB). The modal equivalence principle is next employed to tune the parameters of TS PD FB that operates as a bump-less interpolator between separately tuned PD controllers placed in the rule consequents. The presentation is focused on the position control of a representative mechatronics application with variable moment of inertia, namely the laboratory equipment built around the Model 220 Industrial Plant Emulator. Experimental results are given to validate the PID controllers and design method in several case studies. The comparison of TS PD+I fuzzy controller versus PID controllers is supported by experimental results.

This paper suggests the Backtracking Search Optimization Algorithm (BSOA)-based tuning of the parameters of proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers for a pancake direct current (DC) torque motor systems. These motors are important in the framework of Diesel engine exhaust gas recirculation valves in automotive applications. The BSOAs solve optimization problems that minimize objective functions expressed as the weighted sum of overshoot plus the integral of squared control error. The parameters of the PID controllers are the elements of the vector variables of the objective functions. The impact of the parameter that controls the amplitude of the search direction matrix is analyzed in terms of a digitally simulated case study that performs the shaft angle control.

Many large-scale machine learning problems-clustering, non-parametric learning, kernel machines, etc.-require selecting a small yet representative subset from a large dataset. Such problems can often be reduced to maximizing a submodular set function subject to various constraints. Classical approaches to submodular optimization require centralized access to the full dataset, which is impractical for truly large-scale problems. In this paper, we consider the problem of submodular function maximization in a distributed fashion. We develop a simple, two-stage protocol GREEDI, that is easily implemented using MapReduce style computations. We theoretically analyze our approach, and show that under certain natural conditions, performance close to the centralized approach can be achieved. We begin with monotone submodular maximization subject to a cardinality constraint, and then extend this approach to obtain approximation guarantees for (not necessarily monotone) submodular maximization subject to more general constraints including matroid or knapsack constraints. In our extensive experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach on several applications, including sparse Gaussian process inference and exemplar based clustering on tens of millions of examples using Hadoop.

In this paper, we present a new data hiding scheme (1,7,4) for grayscale images, where 7 is the number of pixels in each block of the image, 4 is the number of secret bits which can be hidden in each block with restriction that at most one pixel is changed, and the gray value is changed at most 3 from the original one. As shown in the paper, this reaches the theoretical limit MSDR1 of hidden bits in each 7-block of images. A hiding scheme (2,14,8) is obtained as a direct consequence, and one application of this scheme is given to solve the problem of searching in hidden texts in stego-images. To solve this problem, finite automata technique with fuzzy approach is introduced.

This paper is concerned with the mixed H 2 /H ∞ control problem. In general, multi-objective control problems are difficult to be solved theoretically. This is because they are not convex programming problems. In this paper, we propose an exterior-point approach for obtaining a feasible solution of the mixed H 2 /H ∞ control, which produces a controller sequence starting from an infeasible region to a feasible one. One feature of our algorithm is to be able to use any stabilizing controllers as an initial point. A numerical example is given to show the efficiency of our algorithm.
