Online change detection in datastreams has attracted many researchers and is becoming a very hot topic whose relevance will further increase with research on Big Data. Concept drift is induced by changes in stationarity of the process generating the data caused by faults, time variance of the environment and inaccuracy of the change detection mechanism. Here, we propose a recurrent auto-associative Encode-Decode machine trained to reconstruct input data. The generated residual is then inspected for structural changes with a Change Detection Test (CDT). Although any CDT can be used, in the paper we focus the attention on the Hierarchical Intersection of Confidence Intervals change detection test for its capability of controlling false positives with a two layered test and an online version of the Lepage Change Point Model. Once concept drift is detected, the designed Encode-Decode machine, globally acting as an Encode-Decode CDT, is retrained on new data to detect subsequent changes.

A wireless power transmission technique based robotic power management system for prolonging continuous working time of one transmission line inspection robot is introduced in this paper. Magnetic resonance coupled WPT (wireless power transmission) unit is designed and analyzed in form of electrical circuit mode theory. Impedance matching is introduced and a special matching method for four coils resonance coupled based WPT is given. The output power of WPT unit is modeled and relationship between coupled coefficient, angular frequency and amount of output power is given and energy consumption of each unit in power management system is quantified. Experiment shows that models can precisely describe the character of WPT system and it performs to be applicable for charging the inspection robot wirelessly

In this paper, containment control for continuous-time multi-agent systems with multiple interacting leaders is investigated. According to the role each agent plays in the multi-agent team, the agents are classified into two categories: leaders and followers. The containment control problem in this paper is that the leaders converge to a desired formation and the followers move into the convex hull spanned by the leaders’ final positions. A sufficient condition for containment control is that the union of the interaction graphs has a spanning tree frequently enough as the system evolves. It is shown that the followers’ positions in the convex hull are dynamic due to the switching topology. The theoretical results are illustrated by some simulations.

Biomimetic robotic fish has the distinct advantage of efficient propulsion and high maneuverability over conventional underwater vehicles. This paper addresses the underwater target search issue in a free-swimming robotic fish with embedded vision. In particular, we use the stored original image to acquire the color characteristics of the target and propose an improved Camshift algorithm based on the light intensity distribution to search the target in the captured image. Then the robotic fish is driven towards the identified target smoothly with the aid of bio-inspired Central Pattern Generator (CPG) control. All tracking algorithms are implemented in real time with a hybrid control system combining an embedded microprocessor (TI DM3730) and a microcontroller (ATmega128). Latest aquatic experiments demonstrate that a fairly good tracking effect is resulted and the interference caused by the mirror image effect is largely eliminated. The proposed technical scheme offers an alternative to target search in relatively complex underwater environments.

It's very important to investigate the effect of crustal movement on water cycle and related land surface processes in the laboratory environment for geographic researchers, especially the influence of tectonic deformations on the basin, the river course and the estuary. In this paper, a crustal movement simulation system (CMSS) is proposed, including the mechanical design and related control system of the CMSS. The CMSS is implemented with twelve sets of parallel mechanism supported by four serial chains with three degrees of freedom (DOF). Hierarchical control architecture with embedded controller is constructed, which can control the CMSS to accomplish user-defined tectonic movements automatically. Experimental results, performed on test facilities reproducing the real field conditions, are also presented.

This paper presents a collision-free path planning approach based on Bezier curve for a mobile manipulator with the endpoints restricted by the manipulator. Based on these candidate endpoints and the initial posture of mobile manipulator, a series of feasible Bezier paths are obtained with the constraints from velocity, acceleration and environment. And then the optimal collision-free path is determined according to the related information of the path as well as obstacles. The mobile manipulator has the ability to adapt to the environment and the optimal path will be updated once the new detected obstacles block this path. The path planning approach is verified by simulations.

In this paper, we propose a sparse reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm using factor graphs. The contribution is to make the original sparse RL algorithm applicable for tasks decomposed in a more general manner. For some problems, it is more reasonable to divide agents into cliques, each of which is responsible for its specific subtask. In this way, the global Q-value function is decomposed into the sum of simpler local Q-value functions, each of which may contain more than two action variables. Such decomposition can be expressed by a factor graph and exploited by the general max-plus algorithm to get the global greedy joint action. The experimental results show that our methodology is feasible and effective.

Cardiovascular disease is a class of diseases that involve the heart and blood vessels, which is the leading cause of deaths globally. Vascular interventional surgery is an effective treatment. As belongs to minimally invasive surgery (MIS), it is more popular due to the advantages of smaller injury, faster recovery and higher accuracy rate. However, it needs up to 10 years to train a skilled surgeon for minimally invasive cardiovascular surgeries. The surgeon cannot avoid receiving the excessive dose of X-ray due to long time operation in daily work. A dual-finger robotic hand (DRH) was introduced to assist the surgeon in manipulating the catheter/guide wire. As a surgical device, DRH is aiming at simple mechanism, ease to use and convenient sterilization. It was carefully investigated how the surgeon manipulates the catheter/guide wire. The bionic thumb and forefinger were designed to imitate human's. Compared to human's, the two bionic fingers are enhanced due to that they can advance the catheter/guide wire without moving the whole hand. The DRH mechanism was carefully designed. A console was also designed for the surgeon to manipulate DRH. After the DRH control was done, the minimum robotic cardiovascular interventional system was formed. Experimental results have validated the feasibility of DRH and the robotic system. Future work regarding DRH is also discussed.

An optimal control scheme with prescribed performance for a class of affine nonlinear systems with control constraints is developed in this paper. Based on optimization theory and methods, a constrained optimization problem is formulated. Then, we develop an improved adaptive dynamic programming algorithm based on globalized dual heuristic programming technique to solve the optimal control problem. The validity of the present scheme is verified via simulation experiments by applying our method to a typical affine nonlinear system with nonlinear dead-zone control.

In sponsored search auctions, advertisers have to distribute the budget to a series of temporal slots in order to maximize the expected revenue. There exists a budget demand for each temporal slot, which can not be known exactly by the advertiser due to some uncertainties in the search marketing environments. The estimation of the value range of budget demand in a temporal slot seriously affects the advertising performance. In this paper we study the effect of the value range on the revenue and conduct some experiments to validate our model and identified properties with the real-world data collected from practical advertising campaigns. Experimental results show that, under a certain condition, (a) the higher estimation of the upper bound and the lower bound might increase the expected revenue, and (b) the expected revenue is positively proportional to the mean value of the value range and is negatively proportional to the size.
