Existing methods for nonlinear robust control often use scenario-based approaches to formulate the control problem as nonlinear optimization problems. Increasing the number of scenarios improves robustness, while increasing the size of the optimization problems. Mitigating the size of the problem by reducing the number of scenarios requires knowledge about how the uncertainty affects the system. This paper draws from local reduction methods used in semi-infinite optimization to solve robust optimal control problems with parametric uncertainty. We show that nonlinear robust optimal control problems are equivalent to semi-infinite optimization problems and can be solved by local reduction. By iteratively adding interim globally worst-case scenarios to the problem, methods based on local reduction provide a way to manage the total number of scenarios. In particular, we show that local reduction methods find worst case scenarios that are not on the boundary of the uncertainty set. The proposed approach is illustrated with a case study with both parametric and additive time-varying uncertainty. The number of scenarios obtained from local reduction is 101, smaller than in the case when all 2 14+3x192 boundary scenarios are considered. A validation with randomly drawn scenarios shows that our proposed approach reduces the number of scenarios and ensures robustness even if local solvers are used.

We study the problem of routing plug-in electric and conventional fuel vehicles on a city scale using incentives. In our model, commuters selfishly aim to minimize a local cost that combines travel time and the financial expenses of using city facilities, i.e., parking and service stations. The traffic authority can influence the commuters' routing choice via personalized discounts on parking tickets and on the energy price at service stations. We formalize the problem of optimally designing these monetary incentives to induce traffic decongestion as a large-scale bilevel game, where constraints arise at both levels due to the finite capacities of city facilities and incentives budget. Then, we develop an efficient scalable solution scheme with convergence guarantees based on BIG Hype, a recently-proposed hypergradient-based algorithm for bilevel games. Finally, we validate our approach via numerical simulations over the Anaheim's traffic network, showcasing its advantages in terms of traffic decongestion and scalability.

Renewable resources are adopted nowadays to promote sustainable development, enhance energy security, and build resilient communities. The increase in demand for renewable resources has led to the use of photovoltaic systems. These systems must be efficiently monitored for fault and maintained properly for maximum productivity. Faults like cracks, dust, bird droppings and shadows may arise in the solar panel over a period, reducing the overall performance of photovoltaic systems. These faults can significantly reduce the lifespan of the solar panel. In this paper, voltage, current and surface temperature are measured using sensors from the photovoltaic panel. Real-time data from the solar cell via sensors are collected under no-fault, dust-induced, and partial shading-induced fault conditions. A fault detection methodology for photovoltaic (PV) systems is proposed using a combination of real-time power prediction and classification algorithms. Linear regression is employed to predict the fault. The fault is then classified using a random forest algorithm.

This research focuses on the 2023 SPDC competition project, which provides the necessary power for robots based on energy types such as wind and light. Under the guidance of many special restrictions, a competitive task-oriented robot was designed, and it must complete the task of carrying items in the planned field. In order to make it more intelligent, this study conducts experiments and analyzes the charging schedule, so as to formulate a feasible and better solution. From the experimental results, it can be seen that the proposed method can improve the scheme used in past competitions. Saves 32 % in charging time costs and provides 43 % additional scoring time. This also adds 1 kg to the total cumulative weight. In future research work, we will still consider more elements to improve the performance of the robot, making it more competitive and practical.

This article describes the design and development of an arm that measures human physical condition controlled by a Programmable Logic controller (PLC), ensuring system control, adjustment, and display of necessary results. A user-friendly interface, both local and remote, will be designed and implemented. The system incorporates safety features to ensure the safety of individuals. The design and implementation are based on a digital twin linked to the control system, including simulation. This approach accelerates the development of application implementation with the possibility of creating control programs for the PLC and fine-tuning the system during the design phase. Safety functions ensuring the safety of tested individuals are applied. The developed system will be portable and will serve for scientific experiments, presentation activities, and as an educational tool.

In autonomous multi-robot systems robot-to {robot/object} localization methods can be utilized to increase the robustness and to achieve a precise and robust localization of the individuals. This paper investigates on the performance of two promising systems: UVDAR, a vision-based mutual localization in the UV spectrum, which has shown to be effective in swarm formation and leader-following tasks, and PoET, which is a deep learning-based visual relative object pose estimator. To evaluate these methods, we collected datasets in a controlled indoor environment equipped with a motion capture system for precise ground truth measurements. Our evaluation considers two key aspects: the absolute error between measured and true relative poses, and the consistency of the provided measurement uncertainty estimates with the actual errors. We introduce a novel framework for evaluating the consistency of relative pose measurements. This framework supports various error definitions and leverages spline-based trajectory representations to generate smooth, $C^{2}$ -continuous reference measurements. Both the UVDAR dataset and the evaluation framework are made publicly accessible to foster further research and development in this field.

Power system analysis often involves studying the dynamics of oscillatory signals and transient events. Analytic signals provide a useful representation of real-meaured signals that contain both oscillatory and non-oscillatory components. This work examines the application of discrete-time analytic signals to analyze power system signals using Kung's and Prony's method. These methods are used to estimate the oscillatory modes present in power system signals and their associated parameters. The performance of the methods is evaluated on simulated and real power system data. The analytic signal-based techniques are shown to produce accurate results and offer benefits for automated power system monitoring and disturbance analysis.

Our article deals with the Edge device model focusing on high-availability of Long-Range Wide Area (LoRaWAN) sensors for business-critical applications. We focus on creating a suitable Edge device model that ensures the high availability of sensor data for specific critical applications. The model was implemented in Node-RED software, based on the MQTT protocol, and subsequently validated to confirm the required duplication of LoRaWAN sensors values for application. In case of single failure, Edge model enables uninterrupted flow of sensors data for their processing by critical applications.
