In this paper, we developed a path planning system for smart cars for teaching electronic engineering or computer science, which consists of the interactive platform for smart cars development and path planning. Designed by Visual C++, the interactive platform can call Matlab engine, allows users to choose path optimization algorithms such as genetic or A-star(A*) algorithm for different tasks and control smart cars through serial ports. The simulation and practice demonstrate that our interactive platform can help learners to plan paths and control intelligent vehicles without specially designing a user interface.

The prediction and forecasting of faults occurring in photovoltaic (PV) system is one of the important aspect to escalate the reliability, output power generation, proficiency, lifetime and effectiveness of overall system. In this article, the behavior of PV array is studied under various faulty circumstances and new approach has offered for the better performance assessment of PV array. This approach is established on the analysis of peculiarities displayed by voltage power (V-P) and voltage-current (V-I) characteristics curves of PV array under different faulty conditions. The proposed technique can be used to identify and classify the five common faults in PV system. These progressive faults (includes open circuit, line-to-line, partial shading, degradation and bridging faults) have been occurred at the basic components of PV cell and at the connection point between PV modules. The characteristic curves under normal and faulty conditions have been compared by utilizing Matlab/Simulink environment. Hence, the suggested method can be utilized to determine the important fact about the health PV array.

We develop an optimal tracking control method for chaotic system with unknown dynamics and disturbances. The method allows the optimal cost function and the corresponding tracking control to update synchronously. According to the tracking error and the reference dynamics, the augmented system is constructed. Then the optimal tracking control problem is defined. The policy iteration (PI) is introduced to solve the rain-max optimization problem. The off-policy adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm is then proposed to find the solution of the tracking Hamilton-Jacobi- Isaacs (HJI) equation online only using measured data and without any knowledge about the system dynamics. Critic neural network (CNN), action neural network (ANN), and disturbance neural network (DNN) are used to approximate the cost function, control, and disturbance. The weights of these networks compose the augmented weight matrix, and the uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) of which is proven. The convergence of the tracking error system is also proven. Two examples are given to show the effectiveness of the proposed synchronous solution method for the chaotic system tracking problem.

Recognize an object and detect a good grasp in unstructured scenes is still a challenge. In this paper, the problem of detecting robotic grasps is expressed by a two-point representation in an unstructured scene with an RGB-D camera. A deep Convolutional Neural Network is designed to predict good grasps in real-time on GTX1080, with using region proposal techniques. A contribution of this work is our proposed network framework can perform classification, location and grasp detection simultaneously so that in a single step, it not only recognizes the category and bounding-box of the object, but also finds a good grasp line. Besides, in training process, we minimize a multi-task loss objective function of object classification, location and grasp detection in order to train the network end-to-end. Our experimental evaluation on a real robotic manipulator demonstrates that the robotic manipulator can fulfill the grasping task effectively.

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) have achieved great performance in many visual tasks. However, CNN models are sensitive to samples with large spatial variants, especially severe in fine-grained classification task. In this paper, we propose a novel CNN model called ST-BCNN to solve these problems. ST-BCNN contains two functional CNN modules: Spatial Transform Network (STN) and Bilinear CNN(BCNN). Firstly, STN module is used to select key region in input samples and get it spatially modified. Since the adoption of STN will cause an information loss phenomenon called boundary loss, we design a brand-new IOU loss method to solve it. We make a theoretical analysis of the IOU loss method. Secondly, to discover discriminative features for fine-grained classification task, BCNN module is applied. BCNN interacts CNN features from different channels to produce more discriminative bilinear features than fully connected features of CNN. ST-BCNN works by reducing irrelevant spatial states and producing fine-grained features. We evaluate our model on 3 public fine-grained classification datasets with large spatial variants: CUB200-2011, Fish100 and UAV43. Experiments show that the IOU loss method can reduce boundary loss and make STN module output spatial transformed image appropriately. Our proposed ST-BCNN model outperforms other advanced CNN models on all three datasets.
