In this work we present a comparative study, testing selected methods for clustering and classification of holter electrocardiogram (ECG). More specifically we focus on the task of discriminating between normal 'N' beats and premature ventricular 'V' beats. Some of the tested methods represent the state of the art in pattern analysis, while others are novel algorithms developed by us. All the algorithms were tested on the same datasets, namely the MIT-BIH and the AHA databases. The results for all the employed methods are compared and evaluated using the measures of sensitivity and specificity.

At the dawn of the new millennium, robotics is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension. From a largely dominant industrial focus, robotics is rapidly expanding into the challenges of unstructured environments. Interacting with, assi- ing, serving, and exploring with humans, the emerging robots will increasingly touch people and their lives. The goal of the new series of Springer Tracts in Advanced Robotics (STAR) is to bring, in a timely fashion, the latest advances and developments in robotics on the basis of their signi cance and quality. It is our hope that the wider dissemination of research developments stimulates exchanges and collaborations among the research community and contributes to further advancement of this rapidly growing eld. The edited volume by Manuel Ferre, Martin Buss, Rafael Aracil, Claudio M- chiorri and Carlos Balaguer is focused on the most recent advances in telerobotics, a technology that deals with the inclusion of a human operator in the control loop of a remote robot. Telerobotics encompasses an area at the crossroads of several scienti c disciplines such as mechatronics, control, communication, computers, sensor-based recognition, multimodality and even teleoperation through Internet.

This article presents an analysis of how pulses in the long two-conductor coupled lines with conductor screened interact mutually. The interaction of pulses appears in those places of the line, where there is a change of wave impedance causing a change in reflection coefficient for pulses moving along the line. An exemplary analysis is performed for a homogenous lossless line at its starting and terminal points. The results of analysis are analytical expressions describing quantitative interactions of pulses. The expressions are verified both by computer simulation and by measurements of the real line. There has been performed the analysis of influence of the resistances with which the terminal points of the line are loaded onto the amplitude value of the pulses registered at the starting point of the line. The new method and the new system of measurements of pulses have been proposed that minimize the interaction of pulses at the starting point of the line, disadvantageous for the process of fault location by using pulse method.

The paper presents regulation characteristics that fulfill the requirements of highest possible efficiency and strongly reduced torque ripple level. For switched reluctance motors it is not so simple and obvious, because the regulation characteristics depend on three variables: phase voltage, switch-on and switch-off angles. For this reason in a steady state the same operation point (Tl, ω) of the mechanical characteristic is attainable for quite different values of those control parameters. So there is a field for quasi-optimal operation and the choice of the coresponding control parameters is the main subject of this work. The paper presents also the method to determine these quasi-optimal control characteristics from simple tests or from computations based on presented simple mathematical model.

This paper presents an investigation into the development of an adaptive control mechanism for vibration suppression of flexible beam structures using genetic algorithms (GAs). The global search technique of GA is used to estimate the controller transfer function, based on one-step-ahead prediction. An active vibration control (AVC) system is designed utilizing a single-input single-output (SISO) control structure to yield optimum cancellation of broadband vibration at an observation point along the beam. The mean-squared error of observed deflection is adopted as the fitness function and randomly selected controller parameters are optimised for different, arbitrarily chosen order to fit to the system by applying the working mechanism of GA. The global search technique of the GA is utilised to obtain the best parameters among all attempted orders for the controller. The GA-AVC algorithm thus developed is implemented within the simulation environment of a flexible beam structure and simulation results are presented to assess the performance of the system, with different types of excitation namely pseudo-random binary sequence, uniform random and finite duration step signals. It is noted that, the system performance is satisfactory and significant amount of vibration reduction over a broad range of frequencies of the input signal is achieved.

This paper presents a model for a tendon driven robot eye designed to emulate the actual saccadic and smooth pursuit movements performed by human eyes. Physiological saccadic motions obey the so called Listing's law which constrains the admissible eye's angular velocities. The paper discusses conditions making possible to implement the Listing's law on a purely mechanical basis, i.e. without active control

In this paper, we consider a special mixed H 2 /H ∞ optimal control problem which is to obtain the optimal H 2 controller under H ∞ norm and controller degree constraints for an SISO plant. The H ∞ norm constraint on the controller is to achieve a certain level of closed-loop stability robustness against the gap metric, nu-gap metric, or normalized coprime factor uncertainties. The degree constraint requires the degree of the controller to be bounded by that of the plant. We first characterize the set of all feasible stabilizing controllers that meet both the degree and H ∞ norm constraints in terms of a finite dimensional convex set. We then carry out an optimization over the convex parameter set to find the controller that gives the optimal H 2 transient performance. Examples and observations are presented, and comparisons with the results obtained by other H 2 /H ∞ mixed optimization methods are made

An adaptive predictive control method is presented for nonlinear discrete system by introducing multi-layer recursive method into the predictive control strategy. In this method, nonlinear system is substituted with a time-varying linear system firstly, and then multi-layer recursive is used to identify and to forecast the varied parameters in order to get the predictive output of system model. At last, adaptive predictive control is designed for the original nonlinear system. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the presented method
