This paper gives new results on the design of iterative learning control laws in the repetitive process setting for error convergence and regulation of the transient dynamics. Such control laws are applied to systems that repeat the same operation, known as trials, over a finite duration. The underlying approach is to specify a reference trajectory and using the recorded data from the previous trials to update the control input signal such that the sequence of trial outputs converge to this specified trajectory. For linear time-invariant dynamics, successful design requires that the first Markov parameter is non-zero, i.e., the system transfer-function is proper. The new design in this paper allows direct treatment of strictly proper dynamics by use of anticipative action based on previous trial data and the resulting design computations are linear matrix inequality based. A simulation case study based on robotic manipulator dynamics, whose model was developed from experimentally measured data, is used to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the new design procedure.

Several camera rotation estimator algorithms are tested in simulations and on real flight videos in this paper. The aim of the investigation is to show the strengths and weaknesses of these algorithms in the aircraft attitude estimation task. The work is part of a research project where a low cost UAV is developed which can be integrated into the national airspace. Two main issues are addressed with these measurements, one is the sense-and-avoid capability of the aircraft and the other is sensor redundancy. Both parts can benefit from a good attitude estimate. Thus, it is important to use the appropriate algorithm for the camera rotation estimation. Simulation results show that many times even the simplest algorithm can perform at an acceptable level of precision for the sensor fusion.

Discrete linear repetitive processes operate over a subset of the upper-right quadrant of the 2D plane. They arise in the modeling of physical processes and also the existing systems theory for them can be used to effect in solving control problems for other classes of systems, including iterative learning control design. This paper uses a form of the generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov (GKYP) Lemma to develop new linear matrix inequality (LMI) based stability conditions and an output control law design algorithm. The new algorithm results in a static output feedback control law that ensures stability along the pass and meets the control requirements in finite frequency ranges. Relative to alternatives, the new results in this paper reduce the conservatism in existing designs and should easily extend to design in the presence of uncertainty in the process model. A numerical example to illustrate the application of the new design algorithm concludes the paper.

This paper presents a vision-based fingertip writing digits detection and recognition system using a CMOS camera and FPGA implementation. It is a real-time signature detector, since the image process algorithms are all executed in Verilog code. The experimental results show that the system can successfully recognize fingertip-numeral-writing with a accuracy rate of 95.8%.

Cellular Neural/Nonlinear Networks (CNN) were invented in 1988, as an easy to implement, easy to program computer architecture for image and signal processing. This initiated intensive international research activities that lead to both theoretical (e.g. universality, stability studies in array dynamics) and experimental results (e.g. cellular sensor-processor chips and cellular algorithms). This overview paper summarizes the history of the CNN research and overviews the current activities in this field. Other areas are also discussed which were fostered by the results of the 25 years of CNN research: memristor architectures and processing, spin-torque oscillator architectures, many-core FPGA processing and industrial vision chips.
