Iterative learning control (ILC) is a control design method for high performance trajectory tracking. Most existing results achieve this by learning from information collected over past executions of the task (named trials). This paper proposes a novel gradient based ILC design which updates the control input by learning not only from past trials but also from the predicted future trials using plant model knowledge. It is shown that by including information from predicted future trials, the designed ILC controller is less short-sighted and therefore better performance can be achieved. Analysis of the algorithm's properties reveals potentially substantial benefit in terms of convergence speed;the proposed algorithm also possesses distinct robustness features with respect to model uncertainty. Numerical simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper we consider optimal parameter estimation with a constrained packet transmission rate. Due to the limited battery power and the traffic congestion over a large sensor network, each sensor is required to discard some packets and save transmission times. We propose a packet-driven sensor scheduling policy such that the sensor transmits only the important measurements to the estimator. Unlike the existing deterministic scheduler in [1], our stochastic packet scheduling is novelly designed to maintain the computational simplicity of the resulting maximum-likelihood estimator (MLE). This results in a nice feature that the MLE is still able to be recursively computed in a closed form, and the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) can be explicitly evaluated. Moreover, an optimization problem is formulated and solved to obtain the optimal parameters of the scheduling policy under which the estimation performance is comparable to the standard MLE (with full measurements) even with a moderate transmission rate. Numerical simulations are included to show the effectiveness.

This paper discusses collective control of multiple unicycle-type vehicles with nonholonomic constraints and nonidentical constant speeds, with focus on the design of a tracking controller for a desired target's position and velocity. The tracking control task is divided into several sub-tasks. The group centroid is controlled to track a desired reference velocity, while the reference velocity is constructed with information from the target's position and velocity so that the group centroid can successfully track both the position and velocity of a target vehicle. In order to keep all the agents close to the centroid within a reasonable spacing, an additive spacing controller is devised. We also discuss in detail the performance limitation and trade-offs of the tracking control due to the constraint of non-identical and constant speeds in such a heterogeneous agent group.

This paper proposes a higher order sliding mode controller for uncertain robot manipulators. The motivation for using high order sliding mode mainly relies on its appreciable features, such as high precision and elimination of chattering in addition to assure the same performance of conventional sliding mode like robustness. Instead of a regular control input, the derivative of the control input is used in the proposed control law. The discontinuity in the controller is made to act on the time derivative of the control input. The actual control signal obtained by integrating the derivative control signal is smooth and chattering free. The stability and the robustness of the proposed controller can be easily verified by using the classical Lyapunov criterion. The proposed controller is tested to a three-degree-of-freedom robot to prove its effectiveness.

This paper investigates the problem of stabilization of time delay linear singular systems subject to actuator saturation. A polytopic approach is used to describe the saturation behavior. By using an augmented Lyaponuv-Krasovskii functional and adopting the delay partitioning technique, less conservative sufficient conditions are established to ensure the closed loop system to be locally admissible based on a state feedback controller. In this paper, all the conditions are transformed into minimization problem involving LMI conditions by adopting the idea of the cone complementarity algorithm. A numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the design.

Gestural interaction uses human gestures to interact with an interactive system. Many efforts have been done to define gestures and facilitate a comfortable and natural way to interact. In this paper an experimental session in laboratory conditions is presented aiming at analyzing the usability factors of a visionbased gestural interface. Based on the results, recommendations are given to modify the configuration of some parameters between the human, the Kinect sensor, Kinect Mouse and the virtual visit of a museum with the final aim to improve the overall interaction.
