Technical characteristics of an innovative prototype e-learning platform using satellite communications for control theory courses are exposed. A detailed account of all necessary tools and mechanisms is presented enabling real time text, and audio/video based communication between tutors and learners. The provided end-user driven services include: a virtual classroom, offline operation, sharing of applications, private/public chatting, audio/video streaming. In addition a concise description of the pilot network architecture depending on the DVB-RCS standard is presented justifying further the choice of the communications platform. Simulation results concerning the teaching of fundamental issues in Networked control Theory within the proposed architecture are provided. Connections with hybrid configurations such as wireless terrestrial broadband technologies (DVB-RCS/ WiMAX, DVB-RCS/Wi-Fi) are further analyzed and justified. Finally some conclusive anticipated directions related to the future of modern control courses education in connection with state of art technological advances are explored.

The spatial uncertainties of tip positioning due to the nonlinearity of the PZT scanner and thermal drift hinder the further application of the AFM based nanomanipulation. This paper brings forward feature referenced tip localization enhanced by probability motion model to reduce the spatial uncertainties. An improved motion model is probabilistically built by incorporating the PI model, the creep model and the thermal drift model. For calibrating the accurate model parameters, the statistical experiments are designed and performed. Then the tip position is optimally estimated by combining with a local scan based feature sensing method. The simulation and corresponding experiments are performed to illustrate the validity and feasibility of the calibrated parameters and the algorithm.

Wireless sensor and actor networks (WSANs) are service-oriented environments, where sensors request actors to service their detected events and actors move to deliver the desired services. Because of their openness and unattended nature, these networks are vulnerable to various security attacks. In this paper we address service fraud attacks for the first time, whose objective is to stop the normal use of actor services by fake service requests and/or delivery. To mitigate this type of security attacks, we propose a novel cooperative authentication scheme. With the scheme, a sensor's service request is cooperatively authenticated by the sensors that witness the same event, and an actor's service delivery effort is cooperatively authenticated by the sensors that witness the actor's behavior. Considering the presence of compromised sensor/actor nodes, the trustworthiness of each authenticated service delivery process is subject to location consistency check and witness diversity check. It may then be taken into account to adjust the corresponding actor's trust rating so as to influence future actor service selection. We analyze the communication overhead and the security strength of the scheme. We show that our scheme ensures fraud-resistant actor services in our considered WSAN environment.

This paper considers the problem of formation control for mobile robots which are subject to input constraints. The control strategy based on virtual robot tracking is proposed, which leads to a compact controller form in terms of two feedback parameters by Lyapunov method. The introduced elliptic approximation of input constraints brings much convenience to obtain suitable feedback parameters. It is show that the presented sufficient condition guarantees the existence of feasible feedback parameters. Moreover, guidelines for the selection of feedback parameters are provided with geometric analysis. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.

Abstract In this paper, the relative position parameters of the target spacecraft are obtained by using the vision measurement and the target maneuver positions are calculated through the isochronous interpolation method. Furthermore, new switch control laws under constant thrust are designed for active collision avoidance maneuver of the chaser along a specified trajectory. The switch control laws are obtained based on the acceleration sequences and the working times of thrusters in three axes which can be respectively computed by the time series analysis method. The perturbations and fuel consumptions are addressed during the computation of the working times. The simulation results show that the constant thrust maneuver can effectively guarantee the chaser maneuvering along the specified trajectory.
