International trade and logistics are subject to factors including geopolitical instability, climate change, and black swan events such as the unforeseen closure of the Suez Canal. The problem of predicting local price change under modification of an underlying transport network or change in supply characteristics unites elements of game theory, network theory and transport. The Cournot Oligopoly models economic actors as rational players attempting to maximise profit by optimising supply quantities with analytical results now consolidated about equilibrium characteristics where transport conditions are fixed. Similarly, where supply and demand are fixed, the routing of goods in a transport network can be analytically solved through a traffic assignment problem. Hence we can solve the coupled Cournot-congestion problem by means of a 2-layer network. Where the layers are linked, inter-layer feedback wherein players attempt to maximise their utility occurs. In this respect we find players benefit from taking advantage of non-simultaneous responses to the market rather than moving to a new equilibrium. We draw conclusions about the nature of equilibria, finding that the concave utility curve property results in unique and stable equilibrium for each uncoupled layer, while linked layers have a non-unique stable equilibria for which general solutions are stated. © 2024, CC BY.

This paper compares a conventional interacting multiple model Kalman filter (IMM-KF) filter and an interacting multiple models with maximum correntropy Kalman filter (IMM-MCKF). A nonlinear UAV dynamics model was used to compare these two methods. The compared filters estimated the position of the UAV under the noise distribution. Although KF has reliable accuracy, MCKF has got better results under non-Gaussian or mixed distributions. At this point, these filters have been investigated under maneuver and non-maneuver motion, and it is known that better advantages will be shown when both filters are used in the IMM. These filters have been compared under non-Gaussian distributions, and the Student's-T distribution has been selected as a non-Gaussian type. The performance validation and testing stages are carried out with variable degrees of freedom, and scaling matrix factors for the Student's-T distributions have been used. Results from simulation tests from 3000 independent Monte-Carlo runs are presented. In these experiments, UAV models and UAV trajectory results have been used. © 2022 IEEE.

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.

In the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), outdoor electronic devices serve crucial roles across sectors, providing vital data for decision-making. However, their exposure to open outdoor environments makes them vulnerable to unauthorized access, physical theft, or compromise, endangering both the device and its data. Ensuring the security of outdoor devices and their data is thus critical. This study addresses data security in outdoor IIoT devices by supporting the encryption of all IIoT-related data in device memory. Accessing and retrieving this data requires operations on encrypted data. Hence, we introduce a Searchable Symmetric Encryption (SSE) scheme called MI3SE, which ensures each device's encryption key is unique and valid for a period based on the device's security sensitivity. Moreover, MI3SE meets key security requirements, including confidentiality, integrity, forward secrecy, and backward secrecy. It is specifically designed to mitigate physical compromise and query pattern analysis through a two-keyword query approach and withstand various attacks, as validated by rigorous security analysis. Comparative evaluations against benchmark schemes underscore the efficacy of MI3SE in terms of both security and performance. Moreover, comprehensive non-mathematical security analysis and simulation experiments affirm the enhanced accuracy and efficacy of MI3SE in securing sensitive data stored in outdoor IIoT devices. © 1975-2011 IEEE.

Learning Polynomial Representations of Physical Objects with Application to Certifying Correct Packing Configurations

This paper introduces a novel approach for learning polynomial representations of physical objects. Given a point cloud data set associated with a physical object, we solve a one-class classification problem to bound the data points by a polynomial sublevel set while harnessing Sum-of-Squares (SOS) programming to enforce prior shape knowledge constraints. By representing objects as polynomial sublevel sets we further show it is possible to construct a secondary SOS program to certify whether objects are packed correctly, that is object boundaries do not overlap and are inside some container set. While not employing reinforcement learning (RL) in this work, our proposed secondary SOS program does provide a potential surrogate reward function for RL algorithms, autonomously rewarding agents that propose object rotations and translations that correctly pack objects within a given container set.

Steady-state analysis of networked epidemic models

Compartmental epidemic models with dynamics that evolve over a graph network have gained considerable importance in recent years but analysis of these models is in general difficult due to their complexity. In this paper, we develop two positive feedback frameworks that are applicable to the study of steady-state values in a wide range of compartmental epidemic models, including both group and networked processes. In the case of a group (resp. networked) model, we show that the convergence limit of the susceptible proportion of the population (resp. the susceptible proportion in at least one of the subgroups) is upper bounded by the reciprocal of the basic reproduction number (BRN) of the model. The BRN, when it is greater than unity, thus demonstrates the level of penetration into a subpopulation by the disease. Both non-strict and strict bounds on the convergence limits are derived and shown to correspond to substantially distinct scenarios in the epidemic processes, one in the presence of the endemic state and another without. Formulae for calculating the limits are provided in the latter case. We apply the developed framework to examining various group and networked epidemic models commonly seen in the literature to verify the validity of our conclusions. Copyright © 2023, The Authors.

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.

Recent Developments in Self-Assembling Multi-Robot systems

Current robotics Reports 2023年第4期4卷 101-116页

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.

Simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) relies on low-cost on-board sensors such as cameras and inertial measurement units. It is crucial that the surroundings are visible to the cameras to maximise the accuracy of the system. An estimation strategy is proposed to augment ORB-SLAM2 that considers feature extraction capability, distribution of the extracted features in the image frame, and the ability of the algorithm to track features over time. The method is tested on challenging datasets, and the output is evaluated against different visibility conditions. The proposed method is shown to react appropriately and consistently to ‘less visible’ conditions such as fog, sunlight, and rapid motion in real time, with minimal computational load. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

This work proposes a novel solution to the problem of covering a bounded grid world using a swarm of robotic agents. The controller requires no run-time memory and only few, discrete sensory inputs. Two variants of the solution to the problem are studied, one effectively modulating the sensing range based on the agent’s context. It is found that during the dispersion, the controller with sensing range modulation outperforms the default controller in terms of speed and evenness of the dispersion. Due to its simplicity, the solution could be realised on swarms of agents with ultra-low power and computational requirements, making it potentially relevant for large-scale swarm applications. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
