The problem of learning-to-control relaxation systems from data is considered. It is shown that the equi-librium of the relaxation system's step response defines the solution of a class of robust control problems and provides a good suboptimal solution to a class of linear quadratic regulator problems. These results demonstrate the potential to efficiently learn policies for these control problems from a single, easy-to-implement trajectory data point, being the step response. More broadly, these results highlight how the system structure and problem definition of the control problem can be exploited to generate data efficient learning- to-control methods.

Slot coating is a widely used technique in various manufacturing processes. The efficiency of the process mostly depends on the precise control of diverse inputs such as pump rate and gap. However, this method can be sensitive to minor disturbances in process conditions, which can disrupt the uniformity of the film thickness. To overcome the challenge, through the implementation of the generalized disturbance observer and compensator, the impact of disturbances can be attenuated in the output channel. In addition, by combining with an output tracking controller, the proposed composite architecture effectively compensates the disturbances while guaranteeing the tracking of the specified film thickness across a wide range of situations. The simulation results were illustrated to showcase the effectiveness of the disturbance observer-based optimal tracking control (DOBOTC) system.

This review studies recent developments towards the physical design and control of self-assembling multi-robot systems. A wide range of novel robotic systems have been developed lately, for potential applications in terrestrial, aquatic, and aerospace environments. They increasingly make use of connectors which enable modules to join with each other at arbitrary points instead of discrete locations. Although the majority of contemporary algorithms are shape-driven, an increased focus on task-driven algorithms is observed. Self-assembling multi-robot systems allow the same set of robots to adopt specific morphologies for different tasks. The requirements for robots to be able to connect to each other, locomote, and communicate have led to a wide range of physical designs realising different trade-offs. While algorithms are validated extensively in simulation, only a small portion are yet tested on real robotic platforms. Future research should investigate the real-world application of these systems, possibly aided by the introduction of standardised and open hardware.

Robots for automated assembly are being progressively implemented in the aerospace manufacturing sector. The dim and complex internal structure of the aircrafts significantly complicates the operation of robotic arms through visual system. This paper proposes an assembly strategy based on force-feedback control for fuel probe installation inside the aircraft wings, enabling autonomous assembly of tubular objects under translational and rotational misalignments. Furthermore, the Bees Algorithm (BA) is employed in a simulation environment to optimise the parameters of this control strategy. The results demonstrate that BA can effectively decrease the overall installation time while simultaneously proving the effectiveness of this method and its potential applicability in aerospace manufacturing.
