This paper develops a systematic procedure of designing global power system stabilizers (GPSSs) based on collocated control to enhance the damping during interarea oscillations. The availability of remote signals from phasor measurement units (PMUs) enables the wide-area control in large scale systems. The closed loop eigenvalues are excluded from a region of the complex plane by the collocated control algorithm guaranteeing that low frequency modes must be damped. The optimum locations for GPSSs were selected using controllability. The damping performance of a 16-machine, 68-bus study system reinforced with GPSSs is examined in the frequency and time domains. The simulation results show that the control scheme is able to damp out interarea oscillations following possible disturbances.

Reliable access to dynamics is one of the central challenges in humanoid robotics. In this paper we consider the problem of computing both internal and external wrenches in open multiple branches kinematic chains, which are not equipped with joint-level torque sensors, but on the contrary are provided with inertial and tactile sensing, and a set of six- axes Force/Torque Sensors (FTS) distributed within the chain. The proposed method is grounded on the Enhanced Oriented Graph, a graph-representation of the kinematic chain, enriched with the information coming from the different sensors. Under suitable conditions, a maximum of N+1 external wrenches can be estimated from N six-axes FTS. The graph is built dynamically, and internal and external wrenches are consequently updated. Theoretical results have been implemented in a software library (iDyn) released with an open-source license (GPL) as part of the iCub software project. The proposed method has been applied to 32 of the 53 DOF of the iCub humanoid robot.

In this paper, we propose a method to predict the outcome of Bevacizumab therapy on Glioblastoma Multiform (GBM) tumors. The method uses diffusion anisotropy indices (DAI) and spatial information to predict the treatment response of each tumor voxel. These DAIs are Fractional Anisotropy, Mean Diffusivity, Relative Anisotropy, and Volume Ratio, extracted from Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) data before treatment. The spatial information is considered as the distance of each tumor voxel from the tumor center, extracted from pre-treatment post-contrast T1-weighted Magnetic Resonance Images (pc-T1-MRI). DAIs and spatial information of each tumor voxel are considered as feature vector. DTI and pc-T1-MRI are gathered before and after the treatment of seven GBM patients. First, DAIs of all brain voxels and the distance of each tumor voxel from the tumor center are calculated. Second, the method registers pre-treatment DAI maps and post-treatment pc-T1-MRI to pre-treatment pc-T1-MRI. Next, the tumor is segmented using thresholding technique from pc-T1-MRI. Then, Gd-enhanced voxels of the pre- and post-treatment pc-T1-MRI are compared to label the feature vectors. Three classifiers were evaluated, including Support Vector Machine, K-Nearest Neighbor, and Artificial Neural Network. Classification results show a preference for K-Nearest Neighbor based on well-established performance measures.

Telerobotics is one of the most traditional fields of robotics and it played a crucial role in the history of robotics and of the mankind, especially in the areas of space and undersea exploration and of remote material handling. On the other hand, teleoperation is still a very active research area and many problems are still open. In particular, the design of the control strategy for coupling local and remote site is of paramount importance for implementing telepresence, namely the feeling of being directly interacting with the remote environment. The IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Telerobotics would like to propose a half-day tutorial for illustrating several successful control strategies for implementing high performance bilateral teleoperation systems.

The paper analyzed and model of a fault tolerant electromechanical controlled worm gear driven fuel shut off valve for aerospace application. The analysis is mainly on design a reduced order fractional controller. This is for controlling the velocity of worm gear so that the friction torque due to uneven rotational speed can be avoided. Because with the friction and stiction and backlash the valve system performance is reduced and more and more unstable this leads the system to failure. The proposed controller can provide robustness against the uncertain loading torque and system parameter.

The paper presents modern advanced development methods of controlsystems that minimizes the cost of development of applications which are widely applicable in industrial control of whole range of processes. Unlike the classical way of design and testing control algorithms which are based on expensive RT measurement cards or dSpace, this solution is based on industrial controllers WinPLC/WinPAC. This enables so called rapid-prototyping of control algorithms directly from Matlab-Simulink into target platform. It was used muItiplatform controlsystem REX as a bridge between Matlab and the target platform. The paper describes whole design of control algorithms and control schemes, simulation of prepared schemes, uploading control schemes into target platform of WinPLC. Also possibilities of remote data transfer and data storage are mentioned. The real measurement on hydraulic industrial system proved its limits that were also explained in this paper.
we propose a new perspective on the identification of linear dynamic system using structural similarity. The proposal consists in the meaningful exploration of each model, specifically behavior of the state variable. ...
