This paper presents an optimum approach to design input-output feedback linearization (IOFL) controller for a rotary inverted pendulum (RIP) using the Binary Genetic Algorithm. Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are stochastic global search methods that emulate the process of natural evolution and because of their simplicity and robustness, they are more popular and applicable. The primary design goal is to minimize the integral absolute error of system angles and velocities and balance the pendulum in the inverted position by minimizing overshoot, settling time and rise time of step response. An objective function using these indexes is established. Then by minimizing the objective function using Binary Genetic algorithm, the optimal controller parameters can be assigned. Simulation results verified capable and competent characteristics of proposed optimal feedback linearization controller. The proposed method can be considered as a promising way for control of various similar nonlinear systems.

We study the classification accuracy of a neural network (NN) classifier for a Brain-Machine Interface (BMI) system that uses an imagined-movements mental task set and compare the performance of the classifier when the user is subjected to a non-moving (static) reference frame (SRF) and to a moving (dynamic) reference frame (DRF) while performing the mental tasks. We use the band powers and power differences of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals recorded from 8 surface electrodes. Results show that tasks involving imagined movements are the most immune to the SRF-DRF switch but may not be the most appropriate BMI protocol for BMI classification.

This paper presents the analytical and the experimental investigation of common-mode (CM) current generation in a half-bridge converter (HBC) circuit comparison to a full-bridge converter (FBC) circuit by the viewpoint of circuit unbalance. Because of the CM current generation is the effect of the circuit unbalance. The circuit unbalance is mainly caused by the switching action, and parasitic capacitances occurrence in the circuit with respect to the frame ground or chassis. The HBC and FBC circuits analysis by equivalent circuit model is resultant that the HBC is the unbalanced switching circuit, especially unbalanced transmission path (sending and returning line) impedances, however, the FBC is the balanced switching circuit (especially balanced Transmission path impedances). The experimental results show that HBC circuit mostly generates the unbalanced CM voltages at the dc source terminals and produces the CM current, 348 mA flowing into the frame ground, however, the generated CM voltages of the FBC circuit at the dc source terminals are equal or balanced voltage, so that the production of CM current flowing into the frame ground is greatly reduced to 100 mA.

In the this paper, a CMAC-Q-learning based Dyna agent is presented to relieve the problem of learning speed in reinforcement learning, in order to achieve the goals of shortening training process and increasing the learning, speed. We combine CMAC, Q-learning, and prioritized sweeping techniques to construct the Dyna agent in which a Q-learning is trained for policy learning; meanwhile, model approximators, called CMAC-model and CMAC-R-model, are in charge of approximating the environment model. The approximated model provides the Q-learning with virtual interaction experience to further update the policy within the time gap when there is no interplay between the agent and the real environment. The Dyna agent switches seamlessly between the real environment and the virtual environment model for the objective of policy learning. A simulation for controlling a differential-drive mobile robot has been conducted to demonstrate that the proposed method can preliminarily achieve the design goal.

The guidance and control of autonomous ground vehicles on challenging terrains will improve if off-road driving rules, developed based on the knowledge of experienced off-road drivers, are taken into consideration when designing motion planners and control systems for robotic vehicles. When navigating on off-road surfaces, ruts are commonly encountered. If the vehicle does not guide itself properly in the presence of these ruts, the result may be poor vehicle performance or in some cases even instability. However, if the vehicle guidance system takes advantage of the extra traction that can be achieved by aligning itself with a rut, then a rut can actually be used to increase vehicle performance and stability. This paper presents a rut detection algorithm for mobile robots.

Markov models are a well established technique widely used for modeling deterioration processes of the electric power equipment and in reliability analysis. Recently, several papers using Markov and semi-Markov models have been published addressing the issue of the calculation of the remaining life, future failure rates and the probability of failure of power equipment. This paper focuses on one such model and addresses an issue of accuracy of Markov model analysis. The paper presents a method of model adjustment and discusses implementation of three numerical algorithms solving the problem of parameter approximation. A practical example confirms validity of the approach and illustrates its efficiency.

As reconfigurable computing systems become more popular, concerns arise about their security and integrity. Runtime access to the configuration memory of dynamic partially reconfigurable FPGA devices offers new design possibilities, but also introduces security threats. This paper discusses various security threats present in such systems. The paper proposes a secure reconfiguration controller (SeReCon) which provides secure runtime management of designs downloaded to the DPR FPGA system and protects the design IP. SeReCon requires minor modification to the FPGA fabric. A prototype implementation of SeReCon is evaluated.
