The increasing demands on throughput and accuracy of semiconductor manufacturing equipment necessitates accurate feedforward motion control that includes compensation of input nonlinearities. The aim of this paper is to develop a data-driven feedforward approach consisting of a Wiener feedforward, i.e., linear parameterization with an output nonlinearity, to achieve high tracking accuracy and task flexibility for a class of Hammerstein systems. The developed approach exploits iterative learning control to learn a feedforward signal from data that minimizes the error and utilizes a control-relevant cost function to learn the parameters of a Wiener feedforward parameterization. Experimental validation on a wirebonder shows that the developed approach enables high tracking accuracy and task flexibility.
Mixed-precision neural network (MPNN) that utilizes just enough data width for the neural network processing is an effective approach to meet the stringent resources constraints including memory and computing of MCUs....

A low cost, open source, rugged, modular OpenPLC, based on ATmega16 microcontroller, has been developed for instructional purposes. Modularity permits flexible use of the OpenPLC. The open source software LDmicro, created for ladder logic operations, has been enhanced, and ported to Linux. A total of 27 Spoken Tutorials of about 10 minute duration each, suitable for self learning, are created for OpenPLC training. A pilot workshop is conducted for 16 teachers of polytechnic colleges using the Spoken Tutorials and the simulation capability of LDmicro. The feedback from the workshop is positive, and the method is suitable for a large scale training.

Dual-arm manipulation is a key enabler for significantly enhancing the interaction between humans and robots, and their capabilities to purposefully shape the surrounding environment. However, the spatiotemporal coordination between the motion of the hands required for this type of actions makes their planning not trivial. A proper definition of these coordination patterns moving from the human example could simplify their translation on the robot side, fostering the generation of effective bimanual tasks. In this work, we propose Multivariate functional Principal Component Analysis (MfPCA) as a mathematical tool to encode inter-hands temporal kinematic covariations in terms of principal spatiotemporal coordination patterns in the Cartesian domain. We compared these patterns extracted from a dataset of human bimanual tasks with those resulting from the usage of classical fPCA, applied independently to each hand (univariate fPCA). We found that MfPCA allows for a better classification of the tasks, with respect to a state of the art taxonomy. For what concerns motion planning, MfPCA and fPCA yield similar accuracy in the reconstruction of the motion, but with a smaller number of principal components needed in the MfPCA case. These results, although preliminary, can open interesting perspectives for the usage of MfPCA for human-like bimanual motion planning and control of robotic manipulators, as well as for action recognition, to enable a more effective human-robot interaction.

The problem of non-collocated vibration absorption is targeted utilizing a multiparameter delay-based controller. The combined objective is to achieve closed-loop stability and vibration suppression at a target location, which is different from the position of the absorber. This problem can be translated into an optimization problem of shaping the poles of a closed-loop system with delays subject to zero-location constraints. The solution approach involves remodelling the closed-loop system as a system of delay-differential algebraic equations (DDAEs) which allows to systematically account for delays in the control law, thereby enabling a straightforward technique for computation of controller parameters. Finally, the proposed design method is validated by simulation on a lumped parameter model of a mass-spring-damper system.

Among the most common issues to be faced in optical satellite communications, weather conditions play a fundamental role for a correct transmission of the information. In the case of heavy rain, hailstorm snow, or even dense clouds, a communication channel between the satellite and a optical ground station (OGS) may suffer significant interference, causing errors in delivering information. Since satellite transmissions cover in general very widespread areas, it usually happens that different zones are characterized by different weather conditions. This property is exploited by the site diversity technique, that tries to limit bad weather effects on the overall availability of the communication channel. When implementing such a site diversity technique, the satellite should be able to switch between the OGSs, by evaluating the rain events probability either through direct measurement campaigns or exploiting statistical models. The setup studied in this work involves a geostationary satellite equipped with two laser communication terminals (LCTs). In order to dynamically decide the OGSs to be pointed by those LCTs, a Deep-Learning based proactive control algorithm for site diversity, performing weather forecasting and consequent preventive LCT switching on the basis of current and past weather conditions has been developed. Simulative results show the ability of our proposed algorithm in achieving the maximum possible link availability, which is bounded by the weather conditions of all the OGSs.
There is a significant increase of cloud and networking-enabled applications, leading to an exponential growth of network traffic. Monitoring all these applications and their generated traffic is a challenging and com...

A smart home allows automated technology to control systems and appliances to assist daily life activities. In the current work, a prototype of a designed smart home health-aware system is presented. Three predefined ruled agents have been used to gather data, communicate between themselves, interpret the data based on several machine learning algorithms to predict abnormality for cardiac conditions. The paper also compares results obtained by running five machine learning algorithms. The agents function in accordance with predefined dataset describing residents ’ age, gender, height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol, and glucose levels, smoking and alcohol consumption habits, and lastly, physical activity. Our plan is to simplify ubiquitous health monitoring for smart home’s residents. The proposed solution aims to monitor parametric measurements to alert health specialists in case of emergencies.
