This work addresses the design of internal model-based regulators for nonlinear systems by error feedback in the general “non-equilibrium” framework proposed in (Byrnes and Isidori, 2003). The material presented here is specifically meant to complement the work in (Byrnes and Isidori, 2004) where a procedure for designing nonlinear internal model-based regulators was presented for systems having relative degree 1.
We propose adaptive nonlinear auto-associative modeling (ANAM) based on Locally Linear Embedding algorithm (LLE) for learning intrinsic principal features of each concept separately and recognition thereby. Unlike tra...

Traditionally structural response due to severe conditions has been measured using accelerometers, However it is a relative acceleration measurement, The displacement from acceleration measurement cannot be obtained directly by simply applying the laws of motion through double integration. GPS-RTK offers direct displacement measurements for dynamic monitoring, but it has its own limitations. The measurement accuracy can be affected by multipath and depends strongly on the satellite geometry. In this paper a new technique will be described that uses the correlation signals directly detected from GPS-RTK and accelerometer to transform one form of measurement to another. The methodology consists of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), a filtering technique, and velocity linear trend estimation from both GPS and accelerometer measurements. Two types of datasets are tested, acquired by a combined GPS-RTK and accelerometer system deployed on a 108m steel tower. One dataset was collected from 19:00 to 21:00 Japan Standard Time (JST) during Typhoon No.21 on 1 October 2002. Another was collected from 18:00 to 19:00 JST when an earthquake occurred on 26 May 2003. The lab-based threshold setting for accelerometer suggested by earlier research has been avoided. The false and missing measurements from GPS can be recovered by acceleration transform. The weakness of lacking static and quasi-static components for the acceleration-derived results is also resolved by adding the GPS displacement linear trend. Because of redundancy within the integrated GPS-RTK and accelerometer system has shown robust quality assurance in monitoring structural deformation in full scale.

Sensing capabilities of a multi-DSP sonar ring are demonstrated with wall following and obstacle avoidance behaviour. The autonomous mobile robot called "Sombrero" moves perpendicular to the nearest object on the left while controlling the distance to that object and generates high quality sonar maps. The wall following and obstacle avoidance behaviour is very simple due to the accurate and timely range and bearing (incidence angle) information provided by the advanced sonar ring. The advanced sonar ring consists of 48 ultrasonic transducers, 24 acting as transceivers and 24 acting as receivers, seven custom designed DSP echo processor boards and six analogue boards. The sonar ring is able to cover 360 degrees around robot with simultaneously firing of all 24 transmitters. Transmission and echo analysis are performed at repetition rates of about 10 Hz, for ranges up to six metres. Accurate distance and bearing measurements of objects are performed by the DSP system using matched filtering techniques. The robot is able to follow walls of various shapes such as a square, circle, concave corner and convex corner. Sombrero controls its motion based on the range and bearing data captured from the advanced sonar ring every 100 msec while moving with a constant speed. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the sonar ring and the quality of the generated local maps.

An efficient method is presented for quantifying the effect of parametric uncertainty on the response of a nonlinear aeroelastic system. The proposed stochastic model uses a response surface method to map the random input parameters of the system to the specified system output (in this instance root-mean square wing tip response). In order to handle the bifurcation in the response surface due to aeroelastic self-excited instability, the response surface model is fit using a two-region regression. The results from this model are compared to those from a full Monte Carlo simulation for both a one-dimensional random input parameter model(thickness) and a two-dimensional random input parameter model(thickness and modulus of elasticity). The response surface method results compare favorably with the full model results while achieving a two to three order of magnitude gain in computational efficiency.
in this paper, we consider the problem of dynamically regulating the timing of traffic light controllers in busy cities. We use a Stochastic Fluid Model (SFM) to model the dynamics of the queues formed at an intersect...

In electroneurophysiology, single-trial brain responses to a sensory stimulus or a motor act are commonly assumed to result from the linear superposition of a stereotypic eventrelated signal (e.g. the event-related potential or ERP) that is invariant across trials and some ongoing brain activity often referred to as noise. To extract the signal, one performs an ensemble average of the brain responses over many identical trials to attenuate the noise. To date, this simple signal-plus-noise (SPN) model has been the dominant approach in cognitive neuroscience. Mounting empirical evidence has shown that the assumptions underlying this model may be overly simplistic. More realistic models have been proposed that account for the trial-to-trial variability of the event-related signal as well as the possibility of multiple differentially varying components within a given ERP waveform. The variable-signal-plus-noise (VSPN) model, which has been demonstrated to provide the foundation for separation and characterization of multiple differentially varying components, has the potential to provide a rich source of information for questions related to neural functions that complement the SPN model. Thus, being able to estimate the amplitude and latency of each ERP component on a trial-by-trial basis provides a critical link between the perceived benefits of the VSPN model and its many concrete applications. In this paper we describe a Bayesian approach to deal with this issue and the resulting strategy is referred to as the differentially Variable Component Analysis (dVCA).We compare the performance of dVCA on simulated data with Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and analyze neurobiological recordings from monkeys performing cognitive tasks.
