In this paper, a distributed model predictive control algorithm (DMPC) based on Nash optimality is proposed for automated vehicle platoon control. The optimization decision of vehicle platoon is decomposed into the decentralized optimization of single vehicles, in which the Nash optimality algorithm is adopted to solve the decentralized optimization problem. Thus, each vehicle can reach the local optimal target and the whole team can reach its Nash equilibrium. The methodology employs neighborhood information of the entire platoon through on-board sensors and V2V communication to achieve coordination of the entire platoon. The ability of the methods in terms of robustness to disturbances and cyber-physical interaction is demonstrated with simulation case studies.

Many control tasks can be formulated as tracking problems of a known or unknown reference signal. examples are motion compensation in collaborative robotics, the synchronisation of oscillations for power systems or the reference tracking of recipes in chemical process operation. Both the tracking performance and the stability of the closed-loop system depend strongly on two factors: Firstly, they depend on whether the future reference signal required for tracking is known, and secondly, whether the system can track the reference at all. This paper shows how to use machine learning, i.e. Gaussian processes, to learn a reference from (noisy) data while guaranteeing trackability of the modified desired reference predictions within the framework of model predictive control. Guarantees are provided by adjusting the hyperparameters via a constrained optimisation. Two specific scenarios, i.e. asymptotically constant and periodic REFERENCES, are discussed.

The paper deals with a nonlinear heat transfer model based on the nonlinear second order degenerate parabolic equation with arbitrary form of nonlinearity. Boundary value problems with two non-stationary boundary conditions are discussed: the problem with a specified heat wave front and the problem with a condition specifying the desired function at some manifold. A new existence theorem is formulated. Time-step algorithms based on the boundary element method and the dual reciprocity method are developed. Iteration procedures converging to the continuous solution on each time step are proposed. The algorithms are verified by comparison with known exact solution.
We present a framework for systematically combining data of an unknown linear time-invariant system with prior knowledge on the system matrices or on the uncertainty for robust controller design. Our approach leads to...

The magnetic system is a typical nonlinear system with the problem of uncertain parameters. Q-network is a model-free reinforcement learning method, which takes reward function as feedback and finds the optimal strategy through iterative learning. In this paper, to solve the problem, we first design the control based on the Q-network which realizes the stable control of the system without depending on the system model, and more importantly, we propose the retraining algorithm to further improve the accuracy of controller. Finally, the effectiveness of the Q-network controller in the control of a magnetic levitation system is verified by numerical simulation. The simulation results show that the network retraining algorithm can effectively reduce the steady-state error of the Q-network controller.

Despite the unavailability of intersections and turns, expressway has several lane closures and ramps. Mandatory lane change takes place when the geographical condition requires the vehicles to shift lane, such as, exits, on and off-ramps. Due to a high-speed regulation on the expressway, it is more difficult and riskier to shift lane, therefore better strategies for semi-automation vehicles have to be implemented for the users' safety. This paper studies the efficiency of the Stackelberg based algorithm for safer mandatory lane maneuver, yet still with appropriate speed. The paper also utilizes model predictive controller (MPC) to predict the motions of surrounding vehicles a few time steps in the future to model the probabilities of subject vehicles to shift. Then we consider the costs, MPC and the game to output the best time for subject vehicle to shift. Finally, we simulate the algorithm to determine if it is efficient by comparing it to other existing algorithms and breaking the simulation down to various indicators.

Nonlinear passivity-based feedback controller to damp oscillations of the underactuated pendulum-like system via the active modification of the length of the suspension pendulum string is presented here. The structurally rich family of convenient virtual outputs making that system input-output passive will be determined and various asymptotically stabilizing feedback laws will be computed based on them. Among those controllers two qualitatively different cases were tested both in simulations and laboratory real-time experiments. First of them does not require the angular velocity measurement and guarantees that the string length does not exceed the maximum of its initial and its nominal (i.e., the ideal operational) value. The second one, on the contrary, does not require the angle measurement and guarantees that the string length does not go bellow the minimum of its nominal length and its initial value. Both controllers can clearly nicely complement each other in various practical situations if application to a crane with suspended load is considered. Their performances were compared to some previously published approaches as well.

This paper develops a dynamical model for crystal diameter in the Czochralski process for production of monocrystalline silicon. The model combines simplified crystal growth dynamics with rigorous ray tracing to describe the camera image used for diameter control, and it is demonstrated that the resulting model captures the so-called measurement anomaly that represents a key performance limitation for crystal diameter control.

Deep reinforcement learning technique has attracted extensive attention in the field of control with the rapid development of artifical intelligence. Model-free control methods perform more effcient than traditional model-based control method for complex nonlinear system since they don't require accurate models. In this study, by using the Dueling-Double-DQN (Dueling-DDQN, 3-DQN) algorithm, a self-learning controller is developed for the magnetic levitation ball system. The numerical simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of our controller. Moreover, we compare the above controller with the DQN-based self-learning controller. Numerical simulation shows that the attraction domain of the Dueling-DDQN controller is larger that the latter.
