Visual Servoing is generally comprised of feature tracking and control. According to the literature, no attempt has already been made to optimize these two parts together. In kernel based visual servoing method, the main objective is to combine and optimize the entire control loop. By kernel definition, a Lyapanov candidate function is formed and the control input is computed so that the Lyapanov stability can be verified. This is performed in four degrees of freedom. In the present study, previous kernel algorithm from the recorded literature has been implemented. We have used the KBVS for our purpose such that an object without any marker is tracked. This method is chosen because of its robustness, speed and featureless properties. Furthermore, in order to show the visual tracking performance, all four degrees of freedom have been synthesized. Experimental results verifies the effectiveness of this method implemented for four degrees of freedom movements.

This paper presents a nonlinear controller for visual servoing system. Pose estimation is one of the fundamental issues in position-based visual servoing (PBVS) approach. A few researches have focused on controller synthesis under modeling uncertainty and measurement noise of estimated position. In this research, PD-type sliding surface is designed for tracking target. The control signal is obtained from the sliding surface and the stability of the algorithm is verified by Lyapunov theory. Moreover, a recent designed robust estimator based on unscented Kalman observer (UKO) cascading with Kalman filter (KF) is used to estimate the pose, velocity and acceleration of the target. The combination of the implemented estimator and the proposed controller provide a stable and robust structure in PBVS. The reported experimental results, verify the effectiveness of the proposed method in an industrial visual servoing system.

The problem of unsupervised classification of 3D objects from depth information is investigated in this paper. The range images are represented efficiently as sensor observations. Considering the high-dimensionality of 3D object classification, little attention has been paid to the curse of dimensionality in the existing state-of-the-art algorithms. In order to remedy this problem, a low-dimensional representation is defined here. The sparse model of every range image is constructed from a parametric dictionary. Employing the algorithmic information theory, a universal normalized metric is used for comparison of Kolmogorov complexity based representations of sparse models. Finally, most similar objects are grouped together. Experimental results show efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method in comparison to a recently proposed method.

In this paper robust PID control of fully-constrained cable-driven robots with elastic cables is studied in detail. To develop the idea, a robust PID control for cable-driven robots with ideal rigid cables is firstly designed and then, this controller is extended for the robots with elastic cables. To overcome vibrations caused by inevitable elasticity of cables, a composite control law is proposed based on singular perturbation theory. The proposed control algorithm includes robust PID control for corresponding rigid model and a corrective term. Using the proposed control algorithm the dynamics of the cable-driven robot is divided into slow and fast subsystems. Then, based on the results of singular perturbation theory, stability analysis of the total system is performed. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control law is investigated through several simulations on a planar cable-driven robot.

In this paper a general architecture of tightly-coupled integrated LR-WPAN/Wi MAX network has been introduced by proposing and utilising a novel access router named Wireless Integrated Access Router(WIAR). The suggested access router effectively combines both Wi MAX and LR-WPAN technologies in a same device. The main motivation to propose this integration is to deploy Internet of Things(Io T) applications and services in wide area networks. Using Wi MAX as backhaul service, the Internet connection can be provided for dispersed mobile LR-WPAN users over a wide area. Moreover, it enables to access all collected data in the local LR-WPAN coverage area – which is named as Senspot in this paper – by third-party clients through the Internet. Furthermore, an analytic model has been developed for the integrated network to evaluate the system's performance. Theoretical results on blocking probability of new and handover calls from Wi MAX subscribers, as well as new connections from LR-WPAN Senspots in a cell of Wi MAX have been investigated in terms of call/connection rates and number of allocated channels.

In this paper we analyse the performance of solvers for Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problems that appear from the model predictive control of railway networks. Our aim is to study techniques that reduce the amount of delay using dynamic traffic management by the rescheduling of trains. Due to the size of the emerging MILP problem and the given constraints on solution time, a thorough analysis of different MILP solution techniques was necessary. It has been proven that a significant speedup in the solution time can be achieved by the proper restructuring of the matrices of the MILP problem. The simulation results also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control technique and the ability of this setup to analyse the most delay-sensitive trains in the network.

Cardiac surgery is an important medical treatment for coronary vessel patients. Different models have been introduced to determine the risk factors related to side effects of this operation. The goal of this research is to study EuroSCORE (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation) as a useful method for predicting the risk of mortality after cardiac surgery, and to introduce a new way of inference, called Fuzzy EuroSCORE. In addition, a systems reliability analysis will be used to calculate the survival possibility of patients after a certain time period after cardiac surgery. To model and simulate the suggested system, eight important parameters of EuroSCORE table are chosen using expert's knowledge and a new method is applied based on a fuzzy inference system. To calculate the risk of mortality after cardiac surgery, the patients are categorized into 3 different groups of low risk, medium risk, and high risk. The range of the mortality risk is determined by appropriate medical data in the fuzzy EuroSCORE system. Additionally, a defect density function for the cardiovascular problem is suggested using the systems reliability analysis. Finally, the prospect of patient's survival after a certain time period after cardiac surgery is predicted.

We introduce a simple approach to account for the ATP consumption and production in the case of mass action models of metabolic pathways including protein turnover. Under some simplifying assumptions, the method makes it possible to characterize the optimal rate of enzyme synthesis if the substrate concentrations and other rate constants are known. Furthermore we demonstrate that the proposed approach is capable of the comparison of the efficiency of different feedback laws in dynamic environment, considering time-varying substrate concentration.

An affordance is a relation between an object, an action, and the effect of that action in a given environmental context. One key benefit of the concept of affordance is that it provides information about the consequence of an action which can be stored and reused in a range of tasks that a robot needs to learn and perform. In this paper, we address the challenge of the on-line learning and use of affordances simultaneously while performing goal-directed tasks. This requires efficient online performance to ensure the robot is able to achieve its goal fast. By providing conceptual knowledge of action possibilities and desired effects, we show that a humanoid robot NAO can learn and use affordances in two different task settings. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach by integrating affordances into an Extended Classifier System for learning general rules in a reinforcement learning framework. Our experimental results show significant speedups in learning how a robot solves a given task.
