This paper revisits the synchronisation problem for second-order multi-agent systems(MASs)under dynamically changing communication *** employing the reference model-based synchronisation algorithm,it is finally shown that synchronisation for both the position and velocity states can be achieved if the union of the communication topologies has a directed spanning tree frequently *** extends the existing results obtained for second-order MASs which exploits mild communication topology condition guaranteeing the synchronisation to a more general *** analysis is successfully performed by exploiting the product properties of row-stochastic matrices,which can also provide us with an estimate the convergence rate towards the synchronisation.

Landslide prediction is always the emphasis of landslide research. Using global positioning system GPS technologies to monitor the superficial displacements of landslide is a very useful and direct method in landslide evolution analysis. In this paper, an EEMD–ELM model [ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) based extreme learning machine (ELM) ensemble learning paradigm] is proposed to analysis the monitoring data for landslide displacement prediction. The rainfall data and reservoir level fluctuation data are also integrated into the study. The rainfall series, reservoir level fluctuation series and landslide accumulative displacement series are all decomposed into the residual series and a limited number of intrinsic mode functions with different frequencies from high to low using EEMD technique. A novel neural network technique, ELM, is employed to study the interactions of these sub-series at different frequency affecting landslide occurrence. Each sub-series extracted from accumulative displacement of landslide is forecasted respectively by establishing appropriate ELM model. The final prediction result is obtained by summing up the calculated predictive displacement value of each sub. The EEMD–ELM model shows the best accuracy comparing with basic artificial neural network models through forecasting the displacement of Baishuihe landslide in the Three Gorges reservoir area of China.

An efficient and accurate method for landslide displacement prediction is very important to reduce the casualties and property losses caused by this type of natural hazard. In recent years, many kinds of artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been widely applied to landslide displacement prediction. But we can't know which type of ANN is the best until we have calculated the prediction error. An improper choice of ANN may result in bad prediction results. In this paper, we use a neural networks combination prediction method based on the discounted MSFE (mean squared forecast error) to reduce the risk of selecting the types of ANNs. Four popular ANNs, radial basis function neural network (RBFNN), support vector regression (SVR), least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and extreme learning machine (ELM), are selected as candidate neural networks. The performance of our model is verified through two case studies in Baishuihe landslide and Bazimen landslide. Experimental results reveal that the combining neural networks can improve the generalization abilities of ANNs.

This paper presents a framework for the nonlinear control of dual-stage actuators (DSA). Motivated by various nonlinear controllers that make use of sector bounded and £ ∞ nonlinearities for the control of saturated linear systems, a methodology for integrating such nonlinear functions in order to improve the performance of DSA is presented. The stability of the closed-loop system is assessed by casting the nonlinearities in a mixed sector-bounded plus quasi-Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) framework, leading to a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to be satisfied by the controller parameters. Taking advantage of the developed framework, a new £ ∞ function is proposed to avoid the saturation of the secondary actuator. Simulation results illustrate the validity of the proposed framework and its potential for the performance improvement of DSA.

In this study, brain, and gait dynamic information were combined and used for diagnosis and monitoring of Parkinson's disease (the most important Neurodegenerative Disorder). Analysis of the information corresponding to a prescribed movement involving tremor, and the related changes in brain connectivity is novel and original. Analytically, developing a space-time nonlinear adaptive system which fuses brain and gait information algorithmically is proposed here for the first time. The overall dynamic system will be constrained by the clinical impressions of the patient symptoms embedded in a knowledge-based system. The entire complex constrained problem were solved to enable a powerful model for recognition and monitoring of Parkinson's disease and establishing appropriate rules for its clinical following up.

Passive Infrared Sensors (PIR) are inexpensive devices widely used as motion detectors. Standard sensor provides just trigger signal on movement detection. This paper aims to extend standard usage of the sensor from motion detection to motion recognition and activity classification. In applications where motion detection based on video surveillance is not possible due regulations or high costs smart PIR sensor could be the only solution. This publication starts the topic of PIR based motion classification with analyses of hardware requirements and hardware selection for the smart sensor.

In this paper we propose a stability augmentation system for a quadrotor, enabling direct rate control for a human pilot. Our system includes feedforward for rate control, feedback for disturbance attenuation, and an online optimization technique for handling input restrictions. We show that the proposed algorithms are able to stabilize the system under highly challenging flight conditions, such as wind gusts and fast manual descend. Our input restriction technique ensures that the revolution speeds for the desired torques are feasible. The complete control system is analyzed using MATLAB, and full experimental validation is provided based on a quadrotor prototype.

This paper presents the use of PANGEA platform applied to improve healthcare and assistance to elderly and dependent people in geriatric residences. PANGEA is based on Virtual Organizations of agents (VO) and integrates a set of autonomous deliberative agents designed to support the carers' activities and to guarantee that the patients are given the right care. The system makes use of Wireless Sensor Networks and a Real-Time Locating System for providing autonomous responses according to the environment status. Agents are a suitable alternative to manage the enormous quantity of data provided of sensors because they can represent autonomous entities by modelling their capabilities, expertise and intentions. This approach facilitates the inclusion of context-aware capabilities when developing intelligent and adaptable systems, where functionalities can communicate in a distributed and collaborative way. Several tests have been performed to evaluate this framework and preliminary results and conclusions are presented.
