Power electronics building blocks (PEBBs) involve the integration of fundamental components into blocks with defined functionality, stacked in series and parallel, to extend converter power ratings to meet naval ship systems’ various power conversion needs. The PEBBs concept in literature is based on modular multilevel converters (MMCs). MMCs are promising candidates for medium and high-power system applications owing to their unique features, such as modularity/scalability/simplicity in structure, low switching losses, low quantization on voltage/current, high reliability, and high efficiency. However, a promising switching control method is required in MMCs to balance the capacitor voltage and suppress the circulating current. This paper presents the nearest level control (NLC) method for the PEBBs concept in modern electric ship systems to simultaneously improve capacitor voltage balancing, circulating current, and power quality. The simulation is conducted in MATLAB/Simulink software. A three-phase five-level MMC converter is considered for the simulation to analyze and compare the converter’s performance based on the proposed NLC and traditional sinusoidal pulse-width modulation (SPWM) switching methods.

In the following, we analyze and discuss the implementation of a novel approach for distributed flocking behavior applied to a group of Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV)s, also referred to as drones. Inspired by natural flocking phenomena observed in birds, which demonstrate coordinated movement in response to internal and external stimuli, we tackle the problem of robust and dynamic aerial motion for robots and design a control law based on a novel physical model. In contrast to previous works that rely on velocity or position-based references, this approach leverages an acceleration-based law to describe the collective dynamics of many interacting particles. As observed in the following, a third-order control possesses several advantages compared to first or second-order control, such as smoother transitions, better force balancing, and more responsive and dynamic behaviors. These advantages are thoroughly analyzed in the following, thanks to physics-based realistic simulations and field experiments with medium-sized UAVs in an unstructured outdoor environment.

In this paper, we propose a novel RGBD-based object 6DoF pose estimation network - RFFCE. It is a two-stage method that firstly leverages deep neural networks for feature extraction and object points matching, and then the geometric principles are utilized for final pose computation. Our approach consists of three primary innovations: residual feature fusion for representative RGBD feature extraction; confidence evaluation and confidence-based paired points offsets regression for self-evaluation and self-optimization respectively. Their effectiveness is verified through an ablation study, and our RFFCE achieves the SOTA performance on LineMOD, Occlusion-LineMOD and YCB-Video datasets. Additionally, we also conduct a real-world object grasping experiment for visualization and qualitative evaluation of the RFFCE.

The increasing demand for heterogeneous functionality in the automotive industry and the evolution of chip manufac-turing processes have led to the transition from federated to integrated critical real-time embedded systems (CRTESs). This leads to higher integration challenges of conventional timing predictability techniques due to access contention on shared resources, which can be resolved by providing system-level observability and controllability in hardware. We focus on the interconnect as a shared resource and propose AXI-REALM, a lightweight, modular, and technology - independent real-time extension to industry-standard AXI4 interconnects, available open-source. AXI-REALM uses a credit-based mechanism to distribute and control the bandwidth in a multi-subordinate system on periodic time windows, proactively prevents denial of service from malicious actors in the system, and tracks each manager's access and interference statistics for optimal budget and period selection. We provide detailed performance and implementation cost assessment in a 12nm node and an end-to-end functional case study implementing AXI-REALM into an open-source Linux-capable RISC-V SoC. In a system with a general-purpose core and a hardware accelerator's DMA engine causing interference on the interconnect, AXI-REALM achieves fair bandwidth distribution among managers, allowing the core to recover 68.2 % of its performance compared to the case without contention. Moreover, near-ideal performance (above 95 %) can be achieved by distributing the available bandwidth in favor of the core, improving the worst-case memory access latency from 264 to below eight cycles. Our approach minimizes buffering compared to other solutions and introduces only 2.45 % area overhead compared to the original SoC.
