This paper proposes a feedback-optimizing model predictive control (FOMPC) algorithm to regulate a disturbed linear time-invariant system to an equilibrium point that is the solution to a steady-state optimization problem. This regulation is achieved without knowledge of the optimal steady-state set-points or explicit solution of the steady-state optimization problem. We develop the FOMPC algorithm by indirectly formulating the residuals of the Karush–Kuhn– Tucker (KKT) optimality conditions associated with the steady-state optimization into the transient performance objective of the MPC controller. By solving the steady-state optimization problem implicitly, via feedback, the proposed algorithm allows the optimal steady-states to be reached despite unknown disturbances and/or set-point changes, and in the presence of linear inequality constraints. We establish recursive feasibility and stability of the approach, and show that FOMPC is a generalization of conventional tracking model predictive control.

In the current paper, a strategy for handling a stochastic optimization problem based on metaheuristic techniques is presented. This optimization problem is defined based on the impact of environmental factors such as temperature and irradiance on photovoltaic panels. The objective aims to solve the defined problem by finding an SVM model of a photovoltaic panel. To enhance the efficiency of power generation, this model will be utilized for the purpose of predicting the voltage linked to the Maximum Power Point of the panel.

Simultaneously controlling multiple robot swarms is challenging for a single human operator. When involving multiple operators, however, they can each focus on controlling a specific robot swarm, which helps distribute the cognitive workload. They could also exchange some robots with each other in response to the requirements of the tasks they discover. This paper investigates the ability of multiple operators to dynamically share the control of robot swarms and the effects of different communication types on performance and human factors. A total of 52 participants completed an experiment in which they were randomly paired to form a team. In a $2\times 2$ mixed factorial study, participants were split into two groups by communication type (direct vs. indirect). Both groups experienced different robot-sharing conditions (robot-sharing vs. no-robot-sharing). Results show that although the ability to share robots did not necessarily increase task scores, it allowed the operators to switch between working independently and collaboratively, reduced the total energy consumed by the swarm, and was considered useful by the participants.

This paper explores the application of centralised and distributed Gaussian process algorithms to real-time target tracking and compares their performance. By embedding the algorithms into the Stone Soup, the focus is on the innovative implementation of Gaussian process methods with learning hyperparameters and implementation with a factorised variance of the Gaussian kernel. The performance of the methods with different kernels was evaluated, not only with the Gaussian kernel. Extensive experiments with various kernel configurations demonstrate their importance in enhancing prediction accuracy and efficiency, especially in real-time tracking. The case studies with manoeuvring targets show significant advancements in tracking capabilities, particularly in wireless sensor networks, using optimised Gaussian process methods. This work advances Stone Soup’s capabilities and lays the groundwork for future investigations into adaptive Gaussian Process applications in tracking and sensor data analysis.

This article proposes a command filtering-based adaptive backstepping strategy for a category of uncertain high-order nonlinear systems. The proposed method effectively addresses the explosion of complexity issue. The overall system variables are established to be uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) based on Lyapunov analysis, and the tracking errors can convergence to a small region around zero. The results of simulation are displayed to demonstrate the presented scheme viability.
Visual odometry can be used to estimate the pose of a robot from current and recent video frames. A problem with these methods is that they drift over time due to the accumulation of estimation errors at each time-ste...
