In this paper, a nonsmooth dynamic filtering approach is proposed for stochastic noise filtering of mechanical servo-systems. In this approach, a stochastic nonsmooth state-space model with sandwich structure is developed to describe the nonsmooth dynamic feature of the system in random noisy case. Then, an approach for observability test of the nonsmooth system with sandwich architecture is proposed. Afterwards, a nonsmooth dynamic filtering method motivated by the structure of Kalman filter is proposed for noise suppression. The proposed nonsmooth Kalman filtering method is applied to random noise filtering of a servo-system with dead-zone feature.

In this paper we present our ongoing efforts to build a heavy lift multirotor platform capable of lifting over 50kg of payload. Such a system requires a paradigm shift in the design of the UAV. Therefore we propose using miniature two stroke internal combustion engines to supply the necessary lift and endurance and combine them with a novel control concept based on the variations of the center of gravity (CoG) of the system. In this paper we present a detailed stability and sensitivity analysis of the proposed control scheme and discuss its underlining effect on the construction design parametrization. We present simulation results from a Gazebo based simulator that confirm the results of our mathematical analysis.

In this paper we present a study of a robotic system that consists of an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with a pair of manipulator arms (MMUAV), and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). The envisioned application scenario includes autonomous packet transportation, where MMUAV is used for picking/placing packets, while both MMUAV and UGV can be used for packet transportation, with different energy consumption profiles. We propose a reactive method for decentralized task planning and coordination of robots using hierarchical task decomposition based on TAEMS framework. Our approach takes into account low-level motion-planning aspects of the system as well as high-level mission specification, making this a multi-layered system. For low-level planning we use sampling-based planner combined with obstacle-free trajectory generation. Methods are verified in simulations and on an experimental testbed, using 3D robotics quadcopter and Pioneer 3DX mobile robots with the results showing stability and robustness of the presented methods.

Power system protection and emergency control systems require continuous monitoring to prevent grid-wide frequency instability or system islanding. Amongst different methods, cellular computation networks (CCNs) are more suitable for providing dynamic frequency predictions. CCN is a scalable and distributed framework using the concept of cells and intercellular connections to represent a power system topology with multiple synchronous machines, transmission lines and loads. However, from a practical viewpoint, fast computing algorithms are needed for effective monitoring and response. In this paper, a lite CCN is proposed based on generalized neurons (GNs), referred to as the cellular generalized neuron network (CGNN). The performance of CGNN is compared with that of a cellular multilayer perceptron network (CMLPN). The frequency predictions by the CGNN and CMLPN have been validated on a two-area four-machine benchmark power system. Data for the CGNN is provided from a real time digital simulation of the power system with phasor measurement units (PMUs). Based on a performance metric, results obtained show that the CGNN outperforms the CMLPN, especially in terms of least number of trainable parameters, low training time and better prediction accuracy.

In this paper, we present the dynamical equations of a nonlinear adaptive natural oscillator (NANO) in order to exploit the natural dynamics in robotic systems. The presented oscillator tries to minimize an energy-based cost function by adapting the shape and frequency of the reference trajectory. Stability, convergence, and optimality of this oscillator are guaranteed analytically. Moreover, the performance of this oscillator is investigated by applying it to three different types of robotic models;i.e., the pendulum, the adaptive-toy, and the hopper-leg.

Motions of a robot interacting with its environment can be described by a set of constraints. This paper introduces an approach, called motion template, which can quickly program and compose the constraints for the motion planner to generate the trajectory. Two types of motion templates, grasp and turn, are specifically described to explain the details of the technique. The reusability and shareability properties of the motion template are demonstrated using a variety of the motion planning applications across different robot platforms. A motion template framework is used to implement the motion template with the trajectory optimization.

The dust evolution simulation provides an important way to analyze the impact of dust on the environment. Dynamic data driven application system framework is applied and dust evolution simulation model based on DDDAS framework is proposed. Compared with the simulation model of dust evolution without DDDAS, the functions of the inputs of real-time data and modification of simulation parameters ensure the improvement of the accuracy of dust evolution simulation. The experimental results show that the dust evolution simulation with DDDAS framework is more precise than the simulation without DDDAS, which proves the effectiveness of the dust evolution simulation system based on dynamic data driven.
