The paper presents a programmable (using a 1-bit signal) digital gate that can operate in one of two OR or AND modes. A circuit of this type can also be implemented using conventional logic gates. However, in the case of the proposed circuit, compared to conventional solutions, the advantage is a much smaller number of transistors necessary for its implementation. Circuit is also much faster than its conventional counterpart. The logic gate was implemented in the 180nm CMOS technology and verified using Hspice simulations. There are many possible applications for this gate, mostly in artificial intelligence and pattern recognition algorithms implemented at the transistor level.

This work presents a memetic Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm(SFLA)based tuning approach of an Integral Sliding Mode controller(ISMC)for a quadrotor type of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles(UAV).Based on the Newton–Euler formalism,a nonlinear dynamic model of the studied quadrotor is firstly established for control design *** the main parameters of the ISMC design are the gains of the sliding surfaces and signum functions of the switching control law,which are usually selected by repetitive and time-consuming trials-errors based procedures,a constrained optimization problem is formulated for the systematically tuning of these unknown *** time-domain operating constraints,such an optimization-based tuning problem is effectively solved using the proposed SFLA metaheuristic with an empirical comparison to other evolutionary computation-and swarm intelligence-based algorithms such as the Crow Search Algorithm(CSA),Fractional Particle Swarm Optimization Memetic Algorithm(FPSOMA),Ant Bee Colony(ABC)and Harmony Search Algorithm(HSA).Numerical experiments are carried out for various sets of algorithms’parameters to achieve optimal gains of the sliding mode controllers for the altitude and attitude dynamics *** studies revealed that the SFLA is a competitive and easily implemented algorithm with high performance in terms of robustness and non-premature *** results verified that the proposed metaheuristicsbased approach is a promising alternative for the systematic tuning of the effective design parameters in the integral sliding mode control framework.

We present an initial study conducted on fNIRS signals using Hybrid-Cascade filters for the purpose of their quality improvement. Whilst many studies focus on filtering brain signals, so that their frequency domain properties would allow e.g. widely understood diagnostics, here we focus on the study of time-domain signal characteristics, which is relevant for potential control purposes. Taking into account various kinds of artifacts, we propose a novel cascade 1D Kalman filter to handle fNIRS signals.

We present a novel efficient method to control the end- effector of robotic manipulators without solving the inverse kinematics problem in the presence of the hard bound on the joint space motion. The basic Proportional–Integral-Derivative (PID) controller is combined with a nonlinear law to track the position and control the joint move within physical limits. To provide the adaptive ability of such the controller, a neural control signal is integrated to compensate for the internal and external disturbances in the robot dynamic. Stability of the closed-loop system is guaranteed by Lyapunov constraints. The proposed controller is validated in intensive simulation results.

This paper presents a methodology to generate proper state trajectories of a swarm of agents, described as a single integrator model. The main goal of the proposed methodology is to route the agents into planar polygons like areas, so that to accomplish for cooperative perimeter surveillance or target capturing tasks. In particular, the agents are driven into a polygonal strip defined by a given containment external convex polygonal region and an internal forbidden convex polygonal region around a prescribed target. The control law is designed looking at a circular strip, then a conversion from circular to polygonal areas is applied to achieve the prescribed goal. Steady-state conditions are analyzed and sufficient conditions derived in terms of the control law parameters. Simulation results put in light the main properties of the resulting kinematic state description.

This paper presents a preliminary study on the use of machine learning-based methods to select the appropriate parameters of cascade filters in the analysis of brain signals recorded using functional infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), which shows the level of oxygenation in the brain and, unlike EEG signals (showing electrical brain activity), are less prone to potential interference, disturbances or artifacts occurrence.
