Abstract Low-altitude penetration is one of the most important military applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). 3D route planning, which is a complex multi-objective optimization problem with multiple constraints, is the key technology of UAV low altitude-penetration. A 3D route planning method based on Multi-Agent Genetic Algorithm (MAGA) is proposed in this paper. Specifically, a dynamic route representation form is proposed to improve the flight route accuracy. An efficient constraint handling method is used to simplify the treatment of multi-constraint and reduce the time-cost of planning computation. More importantly, details are presented to show how to apply MAGA to 3D route planning while some necessary improvements of MAGA are proposed to make it more efficient. Simulation and analysis illustrate the effectiveness of this method.

Abstract The segmentation of the medical image faces the challenges of the existence of large number of diverse structures of human anatomy and inevitable artifacts induced from the imaging procedure. In this paper we treat some structures and artifacts as general edge features, and introduce the edge information into the mean shift segmentation algorithm in both clustering and the fusion steps. Considering the medical images as two dimensional signals, the general edge can be detected and described with its local spatial frequency properties. The segmentation results show the improvement in preserving the completeness of details while sketching the overall structures.

Abstract This paper presents a 3D online path planning algorithm for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying in partially known hostile environment. In order to provide a smooth fight route for UAV, the algorithm adopts B-Spline curve to describe UAV's path whose control points are optimized by an improved differential evolution algorithm. The planner gradually produces a smooth path for UAV from starting location to its target. Regarding path planning performance, the proposed improved diferential evolution based planner is compared with its three competitors which are based on classical differential evolution, genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization, respectively. Numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed UAV path planner not only produces high-quality feasible flight routes for UAV, but also obviously outperforms its competitors.

The agents connected by networks are capable to reach a prescribed state if only a small fraction of them are controlled with feedback information. The present work tries to stabilize groups of non-linear agents in a directed network onto a stable state with several equilibriums. The agent dynamics can be identical or heterogeneous. But the agents in the same group share a same non-linear model. The conditions to reach multiple consensus states are provided under both non-switching and switching topologies. The maximum number of heterogeneous equilibriums is discussed. It is proved theoretically and by simulations that under certain conditions, pinning control can lead a multi-group network to reach a multi-valued consensus state.

The present work considers a scenario that a multi-actuator-sensor network neutralizes poisonous gas and tracks the pollution sources in a bounded area. A novel algorithm is proposed to minimize the system information uncertainty while reaching balance on the workload of actuators. The method combines the centroidal Voronoi tessellations (CVT) with a consensus strategy. The CVT of the region insures a local optimal position configuration of the actuators, thus the sensing uncertainty can be minimized. The consensus algorithm utilizes the connection information among actuators, and helps them to reach a common workload. The consensus component will be terminated or suppressed when the workload is averaged. The consensus component may postpone the realization of CVT configuration. But it could be viewed as a perturbation that helps the actuators jump out of the local optimal CVT configuration. As a result, the information uncertainty may be further reduced. Comparison is drawn between the pure CVT algorithm and the method with consensus strategy. Simulations validated the proposed approach.

Since the Pneumatic Muscle Actuator (PMA) has the characteristic of strong nonlinear and time lags, it is difficult to establish a precise mathematical mode. Model-Free Adaptive control (MFAC) is an advanced control algorithm that does not require building an off-line mathematical model. This paper is basing on the feature of the PMA and presents a model-free adaptive control algorithm with the nonlinear feedback. Finally, experimental results show the strong robustness, fast response, and high precision of this control algorithm on the displacement control of the PMA.

An adaptive sliding mode control scheme for electromechanical actuator has been presented. The adaptive control strategy can estimate the uncertain parameters and adaptively compensate the modeled dynamical uncertainties, while the sliding mode control method overcomes the unmodelled dynamics. In the adaptive law an equivalent output injection of the sliding mode observer which contains the parameter estimation error is used, and estimates of parameters can approximate the true values without prediction-error that is typically used in compositive adaptive law. Due to the improved estimation of uncertain parameters, the sliding mode law can robustifies the design against model uncertainties with a small swithcing gain. Stability of the system with the proposed approach has been proved and it has also been shown that the system states can reach the sliding mode in finite time. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme has been exhibited via simulation examples.
