Abstract This paper formulates the notions of pivotal switching sequence and pivotal switched system as well as quasi-invariance to investigate ultimate motion of switched autonomous systems. The family of switching sequences that eventually drive the system motion is captured by pivotal switching sequences and the system ultimate motion is captured by pivotal switched systems through the quasi-invariance property of limit set. An invariance principle combining quasi-invariance property and Lyapunov functions for better estimate of resting region of system trajectories is introduced. An example of verifying the existence of limit cycle of a switched system using proposed invariance principle is provided.

In this paper sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the influence of the significance of cell membrane deformation and dimple depth under needle injection using neural network modeling. To achieve these goals two neural network models are implemented. In the first model dimple depth, dimple radius and radius of the semi-circular curved surface of the cell are used as inputs of the neural network model and indentation force has been predicted. In the second model indentation force, dimple radius and radius of the semi-circular curved surface of the cell are used as inputs of the neural network model and dimple depth is predicted. Results of experimental data from literature are used to train the neural network models. Sensitivity analysis showed that output parameters were less sensitive to the rate of input parameters after training the neural network models while effect of semi-circular curved surface of the cell on prediction of indentation force and dimple depth is negligible. Results of theoretical formulation by other researchers also confirm these findings.

Abstract Highly non-linear vehicle dynamics plays an important role in autonomous driving systems, especially in congested traffic situations at very low speeds. Due to this fact, accurate controllers are needed in order to ensure safety during navigation. This paper focuses on the design and experimental implementation of a fractional PI α controller for the low speed control problem in an autonomous prototype Citroen vehicle. Experimental tests at low speeds, obtained with a real vehicle on a real circuit at the Center for automation and robotics facilities, show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

In this paper adaptive neural fuzzy inference (ANFI) technique is used to predict normalized hydrodynamic force (NHF) of flexural and torsional modes. For this purpose, one parallel ANFI model is used to predict real and imaginary parts of NHF of flexural mode while another parallel ANFI model is used to predict real and imaginary parts of NHF of torsional mode. Inputs to the models are Reynolds number and normalized mode number. For these aims in the first step, with varying the type and number of three popular membership functions (MFs), Gaussian, triangular and generalized bell typed, effect of them on outputs are investigated and in the second step , type and number of MFs which yield the maximum correlation and minimum root mean square error (RMSE) values are used for prediction purposes. Data for training and testing capability of ANFI models have been captured from a published work by Van Eysden and Sader, [Van Eysden,C. A., and Sader,J.E.,2007. "Frequency response of cantilever beams immersed in viscous fluids with applications to the atomic force microscope: Arbitrary mode order" Journal of applied physics, 101, February, pp. 044908- 044919.]. Results of prediction using testing samples show that ANFI models are capable to predict NHF of flexural and torsional modes, successfully.

In this paper, two adaptive neural fuzzy inference (ANFI) models are used to predict deformation of mouse oocyte and mouse embryos cells. Inputs to the models are indentation force, dimple radius and radius of semi-circular curve surface of the cell and outputs of the models are deformation. Experimental data for training and testing of adaptive neural fuzzy inference models captured from literatures. Predicted results with correlation of 0.9976 and 0.9967, respectively for prediction of mouse oocyte and mouse embryos deformation have a good agreement with experimental observations. Moreover with investigation of three popular type (Gaussian, triangular and generalized bell shaped) and different number of membership functions (MFs) on outputs, it is found that in deformation prediction of mouse oocyte 6 generalized bell type MFs have the minimum RMSE value (0.9523) whereas in deformation prediction of mouse embryos cell 4 Gaussian type MFs have the minimum error value (0.6335).

In this work, the feasibility to easily generate airborne ultrasonic helical wavefronts is demonstrated. We have experimentally obtained airborne ultrasonic Helical Wavefronts (HW) of great quality by gluing a ferroelectret film on a helicoid surface. A comparison between measured and theoretical results of the pressure and phase distributions of this type of wavefront is accomplished. The simple fabrication procedure, which results inexpensive and reliable, opens up a new alternative to explore the special features of wavefronts with screw-type dislocations.

This paper introduces networked tank gunnery skill training based on haptic interaction. "Hand in hand" training mode is implemented by constructing a networked haptic display system. A teacher and a trainee can respectively manipulate his own haptic device to realize skill transferring. In this process, the trainee can experience the teacher's motor skill and can be corrected by the teacher. A local network is built to connect two haptic devices and computers. Two modes for tank gunnery skill training are designed in this system: haptic guidance and real-time correction. A prototype system is established to testify the effectiveness of such a new type "Hand in hand" training system.

In order to conquer the difficulty of simultaneous optimizations on kinematic and dynamic indices of the redundant manipulator, a new type of redundant manipulator with local degrees of freedom is proposed. Redundant degrees of freedom are used to optimize kinematic index, and local degrees of freedom are used to optimize dynamic index. The corresponding optimization method is suggested. As a result, the kinematic and dynamic indices of the redundant manipulator can be optimized simultaneousely. Some simulations are carried out, and the optimization method is verified to be effective.
