In search auctions, when the total budget for an advertising campaign during a certain promotion period is determined, advertisers have to distribute their budgets over a series of sequential temporal slots (e.g., daily budgets). However, due to the uncertainties existed in search markets, advertisers can only obtain the value range of budget demand for each temporal slot based on promotion logs. In this paper, we present a stochastic model for budget distribution over a series of sequential temporal slots during a promotion period, considering the budget demand for each temporal slot as a random variable. We study some properties and present feasible solution algorithms for our budget model, in the case that the budget demand is characterized either by uniform random variable or normal random variable. We also conduct some experiments to evaluate our model with the empirical data. Experimental results show that the budget demand is more likely to be normal distributed than uniform distributed, and our strategy can outperform the baseline strategy commonly used in practice.

In this paper, a sliding mode control using LESO coupled with an inverse hysteresis compensator is proposed for the motion tracking control of a microposition system with piezoelectric actuator(PEA). The inverse hysteresis compensator is involved in eliminating the hysteresis nonlinearity reducing the nonlinear system to a linear system. Then, a sliding mode controller combining with LESO is adopted to handle all the unmodeled dynamics and disturbances, with an intention of improving and enhancing the dynamic performance and the robustness of system. The feasibility of the proposed control scheme is verified by experiment of a PEA. The result shows that when faced with a fast-rate control input, the proposed method can also ensure the system a good performance.

This paper describes our preliminary development of a virtual robot teleoperation platform based on hand gesture recognition using visual information. Hand gestures in images captured by a camera are recognised to control a virtual iCub. We employ two methods to realise the classification: Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference systems (ANFIS) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). We realise the teleoperation of a virtual robot using iCubSimulator. The technique in the paper will enable us to teleoperate a physical robot in the future work. In addition, a video server is set up to monitor the real robot. By using the parallel system we are able to improve the robot's performance. Based on the techniques presented in this paper, the virtual iCub can perform the specified actions remotely in a natural manner.

This paper proposes a new method of linear inverted pendulum control, which is used to control the quadruped robot walking on regular uneven terrain such as ramp and stair, furthermore, this method can be applied to a more rugged terrain. This paper analyzes the dynamic parameters of a quadruped robot walking on the complex terrain, which means the supporting points of the robot lie in different heights relative to the level ground. In order to ensure the same leg length, there will be energy dissipation caused by the raise of the center of mass. Therefore this paper proposes a dual length linear inverted pendulum method (DLLIPM), which not only effectively reduces the energy dissipation, but also promotes the workspace utilization. In addition, Newton-Raphson algorithm is used to optimize the linear inverted pendulum movement, which makes the movement symmetrical and smooth. Finally this paper presents simulation results with DLLIPM on a quadruped robot with 16 degrees of freedom.

An adaptive unscented Kalman filter (AUKF) and an augmented state method are employed to estimate the timevarying parameters and states of a kind of nonlinear high-speed objects. A strong tracking filter is employed to improve the tracking ability and robustness of unscented Kalman filter (UKF) when the process noise is inaccuracy, and wavelet transform is used to improve the estimate accuracy by the variance of measurement noise. An augmented square-root framework is utilized to improve the numerical stability and accuracy of UKF. Monte Carlo simulations and applications in the rapid trajectory estimation of hypersonic artillery shells confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper is concerned with the controller design for networked controlsystems(NCSs). A novel eventtriggered networked predictive control scheme is proposed to compensate for the network-induced delay and save network bandwidth. The closed-loop system is modeled as a switched system with time-varying delay. By constructing a common Lyapunov function, a sufficient stability condition is derived and presented in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMIs). In order to prove the validity of the proposed method, both a simulation and an experiment are carried out. Both simulation results and experimental results show that this method can compensate for the network-induced delay actively and reduce the burden of the network significantly.

This paper focuses on the cooperative adaptive fuzzy control of high-order nonlinear multi-agent systems. The communication network is a undirected graph with a fixed topology. Each agent is modeled by a high-order integrator incorporating with unknown nonlinear dynamics and an unknown disturbance. Under the backstepping framework, a robust adaptive fuzzy controller is designed for each agent such that all agents ultimately achieve consensus. Moreover, these controllers are distributed in the sense that the controller design for each agent only requires relative state information between itself and its neighbors. A four-order simulation example demonstrates the effectiveness of the algorithm.

For humanoid robots, there exist a class of challenging tasks, e.g. playing table tennis, which are non-repeatedly, triggered randomly by sensor events, and compelling the robots to produce reactive operations in very short time. Additionally, some key poses of the robot are partially constrained to accomplish the operations, and are usually adjusted during the operation execution. In this paper, efforts are made to generate trajectory for these operations. Firstly, an extended manipulability index is proposed to optimize the key poses so that the humanoid robot has the manipulability considering joint limits at the key poses, which makes it convenient to adjust the trajectory. Secondly, a fast approach to generating the whole trajectory consisting of all the key poses and the strategies to realize the trajectory adjustment when specifications change are proposed. Finally, the ZMP (Zero Moment Point) displacement excited by the reactive operations is also given to decide whether the generated trajectory is feasible. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated through simulations.
