Control barrier functions (CBFs) are widely used in safety-critical controllers. However, constructing a valid CBF is challenging, especially under nonlinear or non-convex constraints and for high relative degree systems. Meanwhile, finding a conservative CBF that only recovers a portion of the true safe set is usually possible. In this work, starting from a "conservative" handcrafted CBF (HCBF), we develop a method to find a CBF that recovers a reasonably larger portion of the safe set. Since the learned CBF controller is not guaranteed to be safe during training iterations, we use a model predictive controller (MPC) to ensure safety during training. Using the collected trajectory data containing safe and unsafe interactions, we train a neural network to estimate the difference between the HCBF and a CBF that recovers a closer solution to the true safe set. With our proposed approach, we can generate safe controllers that are less conservative and computationally more efficient. We validate our approach on two systems: a second-order integrator and a ball-on-beam.

Dual three-phase permanent magnet synchronous machine (DTP-PMSM) has attracted great attention due to its high reliability and high-power output capacities. However, the conventional single-voltage-vector-based predictive current control (SV-PCC) for DTP-PMSM presents high torque ripple and current harmonics, and high computational burden. To solve those issues, a modulated-virtual-vector-based PCC (MVV-PCC) for DTP-PMSM is proposed in this paper. Wherein, twenty-four VVs are synthesized by the inherent voltage vectors, and two VVs and one zero voltage vector with optimal duty cycles are determined and applied in each sampling period to improve the steady-state performance. The selection of optimal VVs and the calculation of the optimal duty cycles are simplified by integrating the deadbeat control and modulation scheme. Various comparisons are carried out to validate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed MVV-PCC strategy.

This work focuses on dealing with fine-grained recognition problems when incremental classes emerge. The task is desirable to not only distinguish subordinate visual classes based on discriminative but subtle object parts, but also recognize new coming sub-classes without suffering from catastrophic forgetting. In this paper, we first propose to localize both object- and part-level image regions for capturing powerful fine-grained patterns. Then, these fine-grained regions are fed into a bilateral network consisting of a stable branch and a flexible branch for supporting observed and incremental sub-classes recognition respectively. Moreover, a cumulative adaptation strategy is further equipped to adjust the network training during the incremental sessions. Meanwhile, to better retain the modeling capability of observed classes, we also replay samples from previous classes by a hallucination approach. Experiments are conducted on three popular fine-grained recognition datasets and results of the proposed method can reveal its superiority over state-of-the-arts.

This paper describes the design and implementation procedure of a Robot Operating System (ROS) testbed for research on the concept of Internet of Vehicles and the integration of Digital Twins in autonomous vehicles. The proposed testbed integrates communication devices, sensors, and micro-controllers to collect real-time data from the physical environment, enabling the replication of such systems in a virtual environment using Digital Twins. The framework provides a hands-on approach for researchers and students to understand the operation and control of autonomous vehicles without requiring full-scale vehicles. The interactive and immersive learning experience simulates a real-sized vehicle, allowing users to explore the effects of different control algorithms and sensor configurations. Developed using open-source software such as ROS and low-cost microcontrollers and sensors, the platform is affordable for research and development, providing an engaging and practical learning experience.
