This paper proposes a method to navigate a mobile robot by estimating its state over a number of distributed sensor networks (DSNs) such that it can successively accomplish a sequence of tasks, i.e., its state enters each targeted set and stays inside no less than the desired time, under a resource-aware, time-efficient, and computation-and communication-constrained setting. We propose a new robot state estimation and navigation architecture, which integrates an event-triggered task-switching feedback controller for the robot and a two-time-scale distributed state estimator for each sensor. With the controller, the robot is able to accomplish a task by following a reference trajectory and switch to the next task when an event-triggered condition is fulfilled. With the estimator, each active sensor is able to estimate the robot state. We provide conditions to ensure that the state estimation error and the trajectory tracking deviation are upper bounded by two time-varying sequences, respectively. Furthermore, we find a sufficient condition for accomplishing a task and provide an upper bound of running time for the task. Numerical simulations of an indoor robot’s localization and navigation are provided to validate the proposed architecture

This paper presents control strategies based on time-varying convergent higher order control barrier functions for the coordination of networks of platoons. This network could be modelled by a class of leader-follower multi-agent systems, where the leaders have knowledge on the associated tasks and control the performance of their platoon involved vehicles. The followers are not aware of the tasks, and do not have any control authority to reach them. They follow their platoon leader commands for the task satisfaction. Signal temporal logic (STL) tasks are defined for the platoons coordination. Robust solutions for the task satisfaction, based on the leader’s accessibility to the follower vehicles’ states are suggested. In addition, using the notion of higher order barrier functions, decentralized barrier certificates for each vehicle evolving in a formation dynamic structure are proposed. Our approach finds solutions to guarantee the satisfaction of STL tasks independent of the agents’ initial conditions.

In this contribution we consider sparse linear regression problems. It is well known that the mutual coherence, i.e. the maximum correlation of the regressors, is important for the ability of any algorithm to recover the sparsity pattern of an unknown parameter vector from data. A low mutual coherence improves the ability of recovery. In optimal experiment design this requirement may be in conflict with other objectives encoded by the desired Fisher matrix. In this contribution we alleviate this issue by combining optimal input design with a recently proposed approach to achieve low mutual coherence by way of a linear coordinate transformation. The resulting optimization problem is solved using cyclic minimization. Via simulations we demonstrate that the resulting algorithm is able to achieve a Fisher matrix which results in a performance close to the performance if the sparsity would have been known, while at the same time being able to recover the sparsity pattern.
As one of the mainstream approaches in system identification, subspace identification methods (SIMs) are known for their simple parameterization for MIMO systems and robust numerical properties. However, a comprehensi...
