The main objective of the synchronization of multi-agent systems is the asymptotic convergence of the agents towards a common trajectory. For practical purposes, it is required that the transient behavior of the synchronization errors satisfies additional criteria, such as requirements on a maximum settling time or a minimum damping. In this paper, it is first analyzed how these specifications on the the synchronization errors can be related to the parameters of the networked system. Secondly, a design method for synchronizing dynamic controllers is presented that ensures the requirements on the networked multi-agent system for arbitrary bidirectional interconnections. The results are demonstrated by its experimental application to the synchronization of the lateral dynamics of mobile robots.

The paper presents a reconfigurability analysis of multirotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with four and six rotors. A method for structural reconfigurability analysis is introduced, which is then applied to a structural model of the multirotors. The failures lead either to a blockage or to the complete loss of a rotor. The analysis shows that, independent of the systems' parameters, a quadrotor is not able to hover with a failed actuator, while the reconfigurability of hexrotors strongly depends on the configuration of the clockwise and counter clockwise rotating rotors. The results concerning the reconfiguration of a rotor loss in a hexrotor system are evaluated in simulations, where the reconfiguration is performed by using the virtual actuator technique.

Sufficient conditions are presented for a system with input delays having finite ℒ 2 -gain. The bounded real lemma conditions are infeasible when the actual and the delayed values of the input act on the system simultaneously. Considering the actual and delayed inputs as two independent inputs is shown to lead to very high upper-bound of the true ℒ 2 -gain. Several approaches are presented involving a scaling method which is based on upper-bounds of the delayed signal norms; a method which transforms the input delays to state delays with the help of introducing additional dynamics; and a method based on integral quadratic constraints. Both time-invariant and time-varying delays are considered. The methods are evaluated on an example of interconnected vehicles.

Two-layer heterostructure with GaSb nanocrystals formed by solid phase epitaxy and embedded into the silicon was investigated using low-temperature (10-140 K) photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopies. Two characteristic luminescence bands with a maximum of about 0.82 and 0.87 eV were observed. It was found that low-energy peak is associated with D1 dislocation-related luminescence in silicon. Analysis of the decay components together with temperature and power dependencies of the photoluminescence for the high-energy maximum revealed that emission is more likely originated from the combined D2 dislocation centers in silicon and radiative recombination in type–II band alignment Si/GaSb nanocrystals/Si heterostructure. A nonradiative recombination dominates in all temperature range studied.

As the new generation of smart sensors is evolving towards high sampling acquisitions systems, the amount of information to be handled by learning algorithms has been increasing. The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) architectures provide a greener alternative with low energy consumption for mining big-data, harnessing the power of thousands of processing cores in a single chip, opening a widely range of possible applications. Here, we design a novel evolutionary computing GPU parallel function evaluation mechanism, in which different parts of time series are evaluated by different processing threads. By applying a metaheuristics fuzzy model in a low-frequency data for household electricity demand forecasting, results suggested that the proposed GPU learning strategy is scalable as the number of training rounds increases.

Robots are an increasingly discussed solution for assistance of seniors. Importance of testing natural interaction therefore becomes crucial. This paper presents first results of a study with an autonomous mobile social service robot prototype that was deployed in 18 private households of senior adults aged 75 years and older for a total of 371 days. Findings show that utility met the users' expectations. However, the robot was rather seen as a toy instead of being supportive for independent living. Furthermore, despite of an emergency function of the robot, perceived safety did not increase. Reasons for this might be the good health conditions of our users, a lack of technological robustness and slow performance of the prototype. However, users believed that a market ready version of the robot would be vital for supporting people who are more fragile and more socially isolated.

In the contribution new results in a control design of a general three-dimensional non-holonomic integrator (NHI) including drift terms is proposed. Beside global asymptotic stability (GAS) proposed non-linear controller assure also minimal input norm during transients and in steady states and high dynamic in output response for a piecewise constant reference input. Due to appropriate input modulation internal states follow natural periodic orbits necessary to fulfill non-holonomic constraints. Introducing a non-linear transformation that describe error dynamics feedback stability is proven by using Lyapunov argumentation. Practical value of the proposed design is illustrated on the example of induction machine torque control along with a simulation and experimental results.
