Autonomous agents operating in real-world scenarios frequently encounter uncertainty and make decisions based on incomplete information. Planning under uncertainty can be mathematically formalized using partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs). However, finding an optimal plan for POMDPs can be computationally expensive and is feasible only for small tasks. In recent years, approximate algorithms, such as tree search and sample-based methodologies, have emerged as state-of-the-art POMDP solvers for larger problems. Despite their effectiveness, these algorithms offer only probabilistic and often asymptotic guarantees toward the optimal solution due to their dependence on sampling. To address these limitations, we derive a deterministic relationship between a simplified solution that is easier to obtain and the theoretically optimal one. First, we derive bounds for selecting a subset of the observations to branch from while computing a complete belief at each posterior node. Then, since a complete belief update may be computationally demanding, we extend the bounds to support reduction of both the state and the observation spaces. We demonstrate how our guarantees can be integrated with existing state-of-the-art solvers that sample a subset of states and observations. As a result, the returned solution holds deterministic bounds relative to the optimal policy. Lastly, we substantiate our findings with supporting experimental results.

A novel adaptive droop control (ADC) is proposed in this paper for voltage source converter (VSC)-based medium-voltage direct current (MVDC) distribution systems. The proposed ADC can achieve MVDC bus voltage management and power sharing between VSCs with overloading operation consideration, solving the issue that all VSCs on the rectifier/inverter side reach their power limits concurrently after a large system disturbance. It is accomplished by factoring in the real-time power/voltage values at VSC stations and a newly introduced extended power component. This component is contingent on the actual operational state of the energy storage systems (ESSs) in MVDC systems and inversely correlated with the power delivered/absorbed by the ESSs. The effectiveness of proposed ADC is confirmed through an MVDC distribution system model built in RTDS real-time digital simulators.

Research on classifying chest CT scans as normal or abnormal using machine learning and deep learning has garnered significant attention. To address this, various feature selection (FS) methods are employed to reduce dimensionality and identify key features. This paper evaluates criteria tailored to unsupervised binary datasets, such as feature subsets, redundancy, and diversity, by comparing Mutual Information-Based Methods (MI) with Clustering-Based Feature Selection (Agglomerative Clustering) ones. Additionally, it examines Graph Structure, Spectral Properties, and Quality criteria by comparing Graph-Based Methods with Spectral Feature Selection-be (SPEC). For feature reduction, Agglomerative Clustering may offer a slight advantage due to better handling of diversity and redundancy, though the difference is minimal. If these aspects are crucial, Agglomerative Clustering might be preferred. Conversely, for Graph-Based vs. SPEC, SPEC Method is more suitable for feature reduction due to its coherent feature selection and focus on capturing significant patterns related to medical interventions.

One type of wheeled mobile robot widely used in public transportation and for carrying high payloads is the tractor-trailer wheeled robots (TTWRs). This study considers a differentially-driven tractor under pure rolling conditions, which is subject to nonholonomic constraints. Controlling a TTWR in both backward and forward motion is challenging due to inherent instability. To address this issue and achieve trajectory tracking control for these systems, this paper employs dynamic feedback linearization (DFL) to overcome the limitations of static feedback linearization (SFL). The system’s response will be examined under various trajectories and initial conditions for both forward and backward motion.
