The paper deals with a novel modified backstepping algorithm to ensure the stability of the nonlinear multiple-input multiple-output plant under unknown bounded parametric uncertainties, Lipschitz nonlinear disturbances, and cross-couplings. The modification is based on the auxiliary loop method that permits to estimate undesired dynamics as disturbances and suppress them. High robustness of the closed-loop system without using high-gain components is achieved. The ractical contribution of the results is demonstrated using laboratory platform ”Twin Rotor MIMO System”.

Implementing dynamic locomotion behaviors on legged robots requires a high-quality state estimation module. Especially when the motion includes flight phases, state-of-the-art approaches fail to produce reliable estimation of the robot posture, in particular base height. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for combining visual-inertial odometry (VIO) with leg odometry in an extended Kalman filter (EKF) based state estimator. The VIO module uses a stereo camera and IMU to yield low-drift 3D position and yaw orientation and drift-free pitch and roll orientation of the robot base link in the inertial frame. However, these values have a considerable amount of latency due to image processing and optimization, while the rate of update is quite low which is not suitable for low-level control. To reduce the latency, we predict the VIO state estimate at the rate of the IMU measurements of the VIO sensor. The EKF module uses the base pose and linear velocity predicted by VIO, fuses them further with a second high-rate IMU and leg odometry measurements, and produces robot state estimates with a high frequency and small latency suitable for control. We integrate this lightweight estimation framework with a nonlinear model predictive controller and show successful implementation of a set of agile locomotion behaviors, including trotting and jumping at varying horizontal speeds, on a torque-controlled quadruped robot.

One of the main ways to improve the quality of a precision electric drive is minimization of the stator current pulsations generated by the voltage inverter. The solution of this problem can be achieved by using of multiphase inverters, as well as improving control algorithms. This paper considers the influence of the space-vector modulation algorithm with different switching sequences of basic vectors on the stator current pulsations generated by the five-phase voltage inverter.
Decentralized conflict resolution for autonomous vehicles is needed in many places where a centralized method is not feasible, e.g., parking lots, rural roads, merge lanes, etc. However, existing methods generally do ...

In this paper we address the problem of adaptive state observation of affine-in-the-states time-varying systems with delayed measurements and unknown parameters. The development of the results proposed in the [Bobtsov et al. 2021a] and in the [Bobtsov et al. 2021c] is considered. The case with known parameters has been studied by many researchers—see [Sanz et al. 2019, Bobtsov et al. 2021b] and references therein—where, similarly to the approach adopted here, the system is treated as a linear time-varying system. We show that the parameter estimation-based observer (PEBO) design proposed in [Ortega et al. 2015, 2021] provides a very simple solution for the unknown parameter case. Moreover, when PEBO is combined with the dynamic regressor extension and mixing (DREM) estimation technique [Aranovskiy et al. 2016, Ortega et al. 2019], the estimated state converges in fixed-time with extremely weak excitation assumptions.

In this paper we explore some of the potential applications of robustness criteria for machine learning (ML) systems by way of tangible “demonstrator” scenarios. In each demonstrator, ML robustness metrics are applied to real-world scenarios with military relevance, indicating how they might be used to help detect and handle possible adversarial attacks on ML systems. We conclude by sketching promising future avenues of research in order to: (1) help establish useful verification methodologies to facilitate ML robustness compliance assessment; (2) support development of ML accountability mechanisms; and (3) reliably detect, repel, and mitigate adversarial attack.
