This work describes a hardware architecture for implementing a sequential approach of the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) that is suitable for mobile robotics tasks, such as self-localization, mapping and navigation problems. As such algorithm is computationally intensive, commonly it is implemented in PC-based platforms to be employed on larger robots. In order to allow the development of small robotic platforms, as those required in many current state of the art research (for instance micro robotics area), small size, low-power and high precision computation capabilities are required. This work proposes a hardware architecture for self-localization task, allowing the fusion of data coming from different sensors such as ultrasonic and laser rangefinder. The architecture is based on a single precision floating-point arithmetic, allowing the operations to be computed with large precision and dynamic range. The system has been adapted for achieving a reconfigurable platform, suitable for research tasks, and applied to a Pioneer 3AT mobile robot platform from Mobile Robots Inc. In order to compare the performance of the system, the same localization technique has been implemented in a high-end PC, as well as using an embedded microprocessor Nios II from Alter a Inc. In this paper several metrics have been used to evaluate system performance and suitability, measuring FPGA resources consumption and performance. Finally, the suitability of reconfigurable devices for such kind of applications has been verified and also discussed.

With the advancement of technology, systems in many different areas of application have become more complex, and obtaining reliable mathematical models is a task that is increasingly becoming more difficult as well. To overcome these issues, new methodologies have emerged, such as the one known as Data-Driven-Control (DDC), which uses the input and output data of the system to design a controller, and Behavior-Based-Control (BBC), which provides the controller based on the desired behavior of a system. In this work, these two methodologies were applied to obtain the transfer function of a Single-Input Single-Output mobile robotic platform that moves parallel to a wall. A Proportional Integral Derivative controller was used to control the left wheel, while the right wheel was set to a constant speed, allowing the mobile robot to maintain a constant distance from the wall. The controller was tuned utilizing root locus methodology with an overshot of 16.7%, settling time of 6.45 seconds, and a static error of 2.1%. Additionally, disturbances were added to test the robustness of the mobile robot model and the PID controller.

This paper proposes augmenting the traditional quadratic event-triggered conditions for Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy models, by also considering triggering conditions defined by a variation of the membership function values. Suitable Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) conditions are presented that make full use of the proposed modified triggering conditions to co-design the control law and triggering conditions. Under some mild assumptions, the closed loop system is guaranteed to avoid the Zeno behavior for its triggering instants. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the proposed conditions.

In modern manufacturing systems, the current state of the system is not always obvious. In many situations, such knowledge is needed to lead the system to a specific state such that a determined task can be started or a maintenance task can be executed. Usually, to achieve this, it is necessary to find and store a sequence from each state to the desired state or implement an on-line algorithm to find the desired state. In this work we propose a two step procedure to reconfigure a Discrete Event System, regardless its current state. First, the automaton of the closed loop behavior of the system is turned into a complete automaton (with complete transition function) and then, an algorithm is applied to search for a synchronizing word.

Most of the systems are build of components that should stay synchronized for the system to work properly. Usually, the synchronism of these subsystems is maintained through communication and this communication is subject to failures, leading the system to a undesirable state, where the states of the components do not match. In this sense, this paper deals with the problem of resynchronizing components of a system, leading to a global state where the individual states of the subsystems match with each other. In order to do so, an algorithm, using ideas of synchronizing automata, automata that reach a specific state when a synchronizing word is executed, regardless the origin state, is presented.

This paper presents the comparation of three different feature extraction techniques based on the Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) for a SSVEP-BCI. This approach based on the characterization of the signal by EMD, is proposed as a novel alternative to other techniques and it was demonstrated that it exceeds both in accuracy rate and Information Transfer Rate (ITR). The experiments were performed in an offline way, and seven volunteers participated of the study. The stimulis were generated both by LCD and LEDs. The frequencies used were 8, 11, 13 and 15 Hz. The results here reported such represent the average of the seven participants, achieving a success rate of 81% and ITR of 23.32 bits/min of the total set of cases analyzed. It is further confirmed that the highest success rates and ITRs were obtained for stimulation by LEDs.

In this paper, relationship between the IIP3 of the doubly-terminated ladder low-pass Gm-C filter and the IIP3 of the transconductors employed in the filter is derived. It was found that the IIP3 of the Gm-C filter IIP3 is about 1.2 dBV higher than the IIP3 of the transconductors. Simulation results are found to be in excellent agreement with the analytical results.
