The multiple instance regression problem has become a hot research topic recently. There are several approaches to the multiple instance regression problem, such as Salience, Citation KNN, and MI-ClusterRegress. All of these solutions work in batch mode during the training step. However, in practice, examples usually arrive in sequence. Therefore, the training step cannot be accomplished once. In this paper, an online multiple instance regression method "OnlineMIR" is proposed. OnlineMIR can not only predict the label of a new bag, but also update the current regression model with the latest arrived bag. The experimental results show that OnlineMIR achieves good performances on both synthetic and real data sets.

Phase information is employed to enhance evaluating defects in the metals by eddy current testing using the conventional probes. But for an EC-GMR sensor, the output phase is not used. In this paper, GMR-based eddy current defect detection is studied, in which the phase of the GMR sensor output is taken into account. Based on Biot-Savart law, amplitude and phase for the EC-GMR sensor's output are studied. This paper shows that defect can be better located through the phase analysis of the GMR sensor's output.

This paper studies semi-global leader-following output consensus of a multi-agent system. Each follower agent in the system, described by a general linear system subject to external disturbances and actuator saturation, is to track the leader agent. Conditions on the agent dynamics are identified under which a low gain feedback based linear state control algorithm is constructed for each follower agent such that the leader-following output consensus is achieved when the communication topology among the agents is a directed graph that contains no loop and the leader is globally reachable. In addition, discussions and simulations are also provided for the output consensus in the presence of actuator saturation.

UAV can work in places that are dangerous, or not easy to reach for humans. However, due to active control and operating difficulties, it is still a challenge to develop fully autonomous flight in complex environments. This paper applies a novel heuristic dynamic programming for the UAV heading optimal tracking controller design, using kernel-based heuristic dynamic programming (KHDP). Kernel-based HDP is developed by integrating kernel methods and approximately linear dependence (ALD) analysis with the critic learning of HDP algorithm. Compared with conventional HDP where neural networks are widely used and their features were manually designed, the proposed algorithm can obtain better generalization capability and learning efficiency through applying the sparse kernel machine into the critic learning process of HDP algorithm. Simulation and experimental results of UAV heading optimal tracking control problems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed kernel-based HDP algorithm.

This paper addresses the problem of robust H ∞ control design for uncertain polytopic-type linear discrete-time descriptor systems. First, a new version of the bounded real lemma which is tailored for control design is proposed. Then, applying the derived bounded real lemma, we have developed a method of designing a robust state feedback H ∞ controller based on an affine parameter-dependent Lyapunov function. The method does not require applying any coordinate transformation to the system state-space model and in the case of uncertainty-free systems the proposed design conditions turn out to be necessary and sufficient. The controller design involves solving strict bilinear matrix inequalities and to this end a convergent iterative procedure is proposed that involves iterating between two LMI problems, namely an H ∞ control synthesis and an H ∞ performance analysis. Numerical examples borrowed from the literature are presented to illustrate the effectiveness and fast convergence of the proposed iterative procedure.

We propose an approach for integrated object and path demonstration. The main idea is to choose the motion of the robot depending on the object it grabs. When programming, an object is fixed at the robot's gripper. Path programming is done using haptic guidance. Afterwards, if a robot is handed over an object it knows before, it reproduces the path assigned to the object. Path programming and object recognition can be done with a single force/torque sensor. In our opinion, this way of programming is especially suited for creating pick and place tasks in frequently changing production environments where (re-)programming has to be done frequently.

The paper proposes a new learning method for fuzzy cognitive maps, which makes it possible to encode an attractor into the map. The method is based on the principle of backpropagation through time known from the theory of artificial neural networks. Simulation results are presented to show how well the method performs. It is shown that the results are superior to those achieved using Hebbian learning approaches such as nonlinear Hebbian learning. Some lines for possible future research and development are given.

This paper provides an adaptive event-triggered method using adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) for the nonlinear continuous-time system. Comparing to the traditional method with fixed sampling period, the event-triggered method samples the state only when an event is triggered and therefore the computational cost is reduced. We demonstrate the theoretical analysis on the stability of the event-triggered method, and integrate it with the ADP approach. The system dynamics are assumed unknown. The corresponding ADP algorithm is given and the neural network techniques are applied to implement this method. The simulation results verify the theoretical analysis and justify the efficiency of the proposed event-triggered technique using the ADP approach.

In this paper, containment control for continuous-time multi-agent systems with multiple interacting leaders is investigated. According to the role each agent plays in the multi-agent team, the agents are classified into two categories: leaders and followers. The containment control problem in this paper is that the leaders converge to a desired formation and the followers move into the convex hull spanned by the leaders’ final positions. A sufficient condition for containment control is that the union of the interaction graphs has a spanning tree frequently enough as the system evolves. It is shown that the followers’ positions in the convex hull are dynamic due to the switching topology. The theoretical results are illustrated by some simulations.

OFDM is promising for underwater acoustic (UWA) communications due to its potential to combat the large delay spread. However, the performance of the OFDM system is seriously deteriorated by the inter-carrier interference (ICI) caused by the transmitter/receiver motion and ocean waves. In this paper, we propose a novel ICI countermeasure. The key idea is to inactivate partial subcarriers according to index modulation and meanwhile transmit signals with opposite polarity on two adjacent active subcarriers for ICI self cancellation. Simulation results validate that the proposed scheme achieves much better bit error rate (BER) performance than many existing schemes in UWA communications.
