In this paper, we proposed a Dual-adapted Fast Block Least Mean Squares algorithm (DA-FBLMS) to remove electrocardiogram (ECG) and noise contaminations from surface electromyography signals (sEMG). Based on an adaptive noise cancelation (ANC) structure and artificial input signals, the ANC integrated proposed algorithm distinguishes itself by the use of an iterative method characterized by a varying number of updates for every different input block, combined with an adaptive step size guided by a QRS detector and the average error of the corresponding input block. The simulations demonstrate that the proposed DA-FBLMS algorithm presents better performances during the contaminations cancellation compared to a recursive least squares algorithm (RLS) and classic FBLMS algorithm, especially in noisy and high distortion environments.

An important aspect of robotic path planning for is ensuring that the vehicle is in the best location to collect the data necessary for the problem at hand. Given that features of in- terest are dynamic and move with oceanic cur- rents, vehicle speed is an important factor in any planning exercises to ensure vehicles are at the right place at the right time. Here, we examine different Gaussian process models to find a suitable predictive kinematic model that enable the speed of an underactuated, au- tonomous surface vehicle to be accurately pre- dicted given a set of input environmental pa-rameters.

The mean-shift algorithm provides a unique non-parametric and unsupervised clustering solution to image segmentation and has a proven record of very good performance for a wide variety of input images. It is essential to image processing because it provides the initial and vital steps to numerous object recognition and tracking applications. However, image segmentation using mean-shift clustering is widely recognized as one of the most compute-intensive tasks in image processing, and suffers from poor scalability with respect to the image size (N pixels) and number of iterations (k): O(kN~2). Our novel approach focuses on creating a scalable hardware architecture fine-tuned to the computational requirements of the mean-shift clustering algorithm. By efficiently parallelizing and mapping the algorithm to reconfigurable hardware, we can effectively cluster hundreds of pixels independently. Each pixel can benefit from its own dedicated pipeline and can move independently of all other pixels towards its respective cluster. By using our mean-shift FPGA architecture, we achieve a speedup of three orders of magnitude with respect to our software baseline.

In this work, we propose a buffer-aided successive opportunistic relaying scheme that aims to improve the average capacity of the network when inter-relay interference arises between relays that are selected for transmission and reception. In order to exploit the benefits of buffering at the relays, we propose a relay-pair selection policy that decouples the receiving relay at the previous time slot from being the transmitting relay at the next slot. Furthermore, we impose an interference cancellation threshold allowing the relay that is selected for reception, to decode and subtract the inter-relay interference. The proposed relaying scheme selects the relaying pair that maximizes the average capacity of the relay network. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated via simulation and comparisons with other state-of-the-art half and full-duplex relay selection schemes, in terms of outage probability, average capacity and average delay. The results reveal the need for a tradeoff between improving the outage on the cost of reduced capacity and increased delay, and vice versa. Finally, conclusions are drawn and future directions are discussed, including the need for a hybrid scheme incorporating both half and full-duplex characteristics.

Given a class of nonlinear systems with implicitly defined outputs, we provide a new algorithm to find appropriate local coordinates, in which the resulting system takes a desired target form that is state-affine, up to output and input injection. Once in the target form, it is possible to construct a state-space observer with linear, possibly time-varying, error dynamics.

Recent advances in embedded automation applications require quality of results in terms of speed and computational complexity, along with strict time-to-market schedules. To cope with these demands, the design industry is searching for novel approaches. Performance is sought by utilizing modern FPGA devices, offering hundreds of GFLOPs with maximum power efficiency. Productivity is enforced with High-Level Synthesis (HLS) and Electronic System Level (ESL) design methodologies, that offer an efficient abstraction level to boost-up early prototyping. This paper presents a methodology and the required tool flow for the design of a System-on-Chip (SoC) architecture, as a reference for modern control applications. The advantages of the proposed methodology are: (a) improved performance through hardware acceleration of demanding application cores, (b) improved quality of results with floating point calculations, (c) flexibility and integration of common peripheral devices supported by a RISC microcontroller and (d) improved designer productivity by avoiding Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) and other time consuming and error introducing procedures and working with C level design descriptions only. Experimental results show that the proposed SoC architecture is an efficient rapid prototyping platform for digital control applications, with very promising future extension capabilities.

This paper proposes to evaluate reliability performances at operating stage for power systems with variable wind generation. This is a first step towards recognizing the stronger coupling of power system decision making across different time-scales. In the day-ahead energy-reserve co-optimization unit commitment model, the validity of using operating reserve as an approximation of long-term reliability requirement is tested with realistic wind generation profile. Reliability indices such as Loss of Load Probability (LOLP) and Loss of Expected Energy (LOEE) are computed at each hour of the day at the conclusion of the day-ahead unit commitment decision. Numerical experiments conducted in the IEEE Reliability Test System suggest that while operating reserve requirement does not change within a day, the actual reliability performance of the system varies significantly depending on (i) system loading conditions, (ii) wind power variation, and (iii) operating rules. Also, the operating reserve requirement is shown to either over-approximate or under-approximate the reliability requirement of power system. It indicates that operating reserve could be a very coarse deterministic approximation of system reliability requirement especially with high wind penetration. A much more integrated approach for modeling, analysis, and decision making is envisaged for provision of reliable and cost-effective electricity services.
