Electroencephalography (EEG) is one of the most popular techniques to investigate normal as well as pathological cerebral mechanisms, as it allows to measure, non-invasively and in real-time, the brain activity. However, modeling EEG is still extremely challenging, because of its high-dimensionality, low signal-to-noise ratio, and high individual variability. This paper proposes a novel latent representation to study brain networks using EEG by means of a robust dynamic factor analysis (RDFA) approach. We investigate the ability of this latent representation to discriminate between two groups of subjects, i.e. alcoholic and healthy. By RDFA, we can extract a limited number of highly explanatory factors, as low as 8, significantly discriminating between the two groups. Also, we show that different brain patterns can be identified across different stimulation scenarios and EEG locations. Although preliminary, this work could give support to domain experts while providing some clinically-meaningful insights to identify common patterns as well as individual characteristics in different groups of healthy and pathological subjects.
Typical autonomous driving systems are a combination of machine learning algorithms (often involving neural networks) and classical feedback controllers. Whilst significant progress has been made in recent years on th...

Fault monitoring and diagnostics are important to ensure reliability of electric motors. Efficient algorithms for fault detection improve reliability, yet development of cost-effective and reliable classifiers for diagnostics of equipment is challenging, in particular due to unavailability of well-balanced datasets, with signals from properly functioning equipment and those from faulty equipment. Thus, we propose to use a Bayesian neural network to detect and classify faults in electric motors, given its efficacy with imbalanced training data. The performance of the proposed network is demonstrated on real life signals, and a robustness analysis of the proposed solution is provided.

Opinion dynamics is a popular process to model the evolution of group opinions, which provides technical support for public opinion-related decision issues. However, most existing works focus on studying the opinions evolution in social networks while overlooking the influence of information networks. Besides, in social networks, the rules for filtering authoritative individuals only consider public authorities, failing to consider the individuals' heterogeneity. To tackle the above issues, we propose an opinion evolution model based on collaboration between information networks and social networks (ISOE). Specifically, we first update the individual's opinion by judging the quality of the information obtained by the individual in the information network; then, we filter the trusted neighbor set for the current individual by quantifying the attributes of the individual's authority and closeness and update the individual's opinion after comprehensive weighting analysis of the trusted neighbor set; finally, we conduct information exchange between the social and information networks with the inter-layer information transfer mechanism. The above three steps are repeated until the group opinions reach a steady state. Extensive experiments have been carried out to prove the performance superiority of our proposed model.

Robotics and haptic systems have allowed new and diverse applications in the field of medicine, such as assisted surgery and teleoperation which have increasingly stringent requirements for accuracy, convergence, and low computational consumption. In this paper an adaptive PID control law (Proportional Integral Derivative controller, PID), of indirect architecture is presented for movement paths in a haptic system of open chain, where the identification of the plant is through a quaternionic wavelet neural network (Quaternion Wavelet Neural Network, QWNN) for tune the PID values, this allows the optimal movement into the regions of the workspace.

In this work, we present the modeling of the dynamics of a robot manipulator using the Newton-Euler algorithm in the conformal algebra framework. The modeling of the dynamics of robot manipulators is currently done using the Euler-Lagrange formulation which is a batch type of computation. In contrast, in this paper, we propose a recursive algorithm for the modeling of the dynamics of robot manipulators using the Newton-Euler algorithm in the conformal geometric algebra framework.

The rapid evolution of consumer electronics demands increasingly complex hardware devices supporting a wide range of consumer needs. Designing and verifying such solutions is becoming more challenging. This paper introduces an automated approach for assessing the efficacy of implemented digital systems. Leveraging these insights, the proposed methodology aims to guide HDL designers, enabling them to identify and rectify errors more effectively. The proposed methodology is tested on the example of a relatively simple digital design on a population of twenty designers. The achieved results expose a significant increase in performance and quality in a relatively short time interval.

This paper presents the design of a Proportional-Integral Passivity-based controller (PI-PBC) for a current source inverter feeding a resistive load. Thanks to the definition of a new passive output, the closed-loop system is shown to be globally asymptotically stable. This result solves the internal stability problem reported for these power converters. To robustify the control algorithm, the paper also includes the design of a parameter estimation scheme for the parasitic resistances and the load conductance. Numerical simulations are carried out to validate the control algorithm. The simulation stage compares the behaviour using the averaged model of the power converter and a more realistic switching model, including the three-phase implementation.

An MPC controller is proposed to maximise the use of renewable energy in a manufacturing process. The strategy has been applied in a manufacturing system which has several machines, renewable generation resources, a combined heat and power (CHP) generator for power production, and a battery bank for energy storage. The work aims to maximise the use of renewable energy sources in this process, also taking into account the price of the electricity market, to reduce the cost. The use of neurofuzzy models for the prediction of the energy produced by renewable generators allows a dynamic prediction, using input values obtained from typical forecasting variables (wind speed, global irradiance, etc.).
