The online estimation of fuel property parameters (density and bulk modulus) for use in automotive engine control is considered. The estimation is carried out through state augmentation (including the parameters in the state vector) and use of an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) that is based on a physical model of the common rail fuel injection system. As it is known that state augmentation usually leads to biased estimates and strongly depends on the filter tuning parameters, the method is first tested with data from a simulation model. Through this, it was found that it is possible to estimate the parameters with negligible bias and that the method is generally suitable. The method is then tested on experimental data from a fuel injection system test rig that was specifically constructed for this purpose. Several modifications of the physical model are considered to improve the accuracy of the estimation.

In this paper, a practical identification strategy is applied to the optimal design of fractional-order iterative learning control (FOILC). The initialized fractional-order gray-box system with commensurate order or non-commensurate order is identified by using the fractional-order iterative learning identification and the least square or instrumental variable method. The optimal Dα-type FOILC is derived from the estimated system and by the assumption that the fractional-order system is repeatable. Many other discussions on FOILC can be included as special cases of this paper. A number of illustrated examples are shown to validate the concepts.

In this paper, the stabilization problem of loaded double inverted pendulum using an optimized state feedback sliding mode control is investigated. ADAMS/Matlab co-simulation environment is used for building a virtual nonlinear model for loaded double inverted pendulum system and the state feedback sliding mode control law is designed for stabilizing the system. Mismatched uncertainties represented by payload variations is considered. Genetic Algorithms are used to optimize the parameters of the sliding mode controller based on a performance index containing the sum of squared errors. The proposed control scheme can significantly suppress chattering effect and improves the performance of the system against uncertainties. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the approach and the robustness of the system against payload changes.

Stroke is the leading cause of disability. Reaching movement is the most important movement for many daily activities routine. Rehabilitation is to encourage and enhanced recovery process. Conventional rehabilitation is one-to-one intervention where labour intensive and lack of repeatability. In addition, the stroke assessments by physiotherapist are subjective and not independent. Thus, this paper will describe the design and development of non-motorized system for assessing the patients’ motor function. This system will be used in the future to find the correlation between conventional assessments scales such Fugl-Mayer Assessment (FMA), Chedoke-McMaster Stroke Assessment Scale (CMSA) and Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) and robotic assessment.

Stroke is the leading cause of severe disability worldwide, with up to 15 million of people suffer stroke every year. Survivors of stroke can recover their physical strength, provided they undergo proper rehabilitation. However, most of the rehabilitation centres provide only basic tools as they can rarely afford the expensive and advanced rehabilitation devices. Besides that, training with therapists is limited to few hours per week due to the large number of patients and the stroke patients are generally sent home once they are mobile, although their upper limbs functions are not recovered. Stroke patients need to continue training after stroke to avoid muscle contraction, but due to large number of patients, they are not able to train frequently in the hospital. Therefore, the goal of this project is to develop a low-cost, simple yet compact rehabilitation robot for stroke patient to train both upper and lower limbs reaching movement. Compact Rehabilitation Robot (CR2) is expected to help the stroke patients training reaching movement in an enhanced virtual reality environment with haptic feedback and to provide the stroke patients with a faster track towards recovery.

A novel multi-tracking problem is introduced in multi-agent networks. The states of multiple agents in each subnetwork asymptotically converge to the same desired trajectory in the presence of information exchanges among subnetworks. A protocol with aperiodic sampled-data is proposed to achieve the multi-tracking of second order discrete-time multi-agent networks. The stability of dynamic systems is equivalent to the robust asymptotic stability of discrete-time systems with time-varying matrix uncertainties of polyhedral type. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the developed theory.

While a great number of battery balancing circuit topologies have been proposed, the unique control objective typically pursued is equalization of single cell charge. However, a balancing circuit could offer potentially more control features, especially with topologies able to provide bidirectional power flow control. This has not been explored yet in literature or at least not with enough thoroughness. Thus, in addition to charge balancing, up to three more objectives could be pursued simultaneously. Firstly, virtual resistance control, in order to provide dynamic compensation for variations in terminal cell voltage. Secondly, thermal management, to achieve a more uniform temperature distribution within a battery pack. Third, on-board diagnosis or fault detection tools, e.g. to perform characterization tests or to identify and even isolate problematic cells. In this paper, this issue is discussed and evaluated for a battery pack made up of 48 large format Li-Ion cells in series in a e-mobility application. Simulation results demonstrate the technical feasibility of this newly defined concept.
