Neural networks, including support vector machines (SVMs), and principal component analysis (PCA) etc., and their applications have received increasing attentions from many fields such as information processing and systems control. In this paper, we study some useful features of the neural networks, support vector machines and principal component analysis, and apply these methods to the information processing, localization and navigation problems of mobile robots on the basis of the information acquired with multiple sensors, such as visual, ultrasonic and infrared sensors. A Hopfield-type neural network scheme is proposed for real-time optimization and navigation applications. To recognize the doorplate numbers and human faces, support vector machine is proposed for the vision system of the mobile robot. The principal component analysis network is used to process the data acquired by the ultrasonic and infrared sensors to obtain the location and orientation information of the robot. The principal component network can also give feasible directions for movements

In this article we compute state and mode estimation algorithms for discrete-time Gauss-Markov models whose parameter-sets switch according to a known Markov law. Our algorithms are distinct from extant methods, such as the so called interacting multiple model algorithm (IMM) and sequential Monte Carlo methods, in that they are based on exact hybrid filter dynamics. The fundamental difficulty in estimation of jump Markov systems, is managing the geometrically growing history of candidate hypotheses. In our scheme, we address this issue by proposing an extension of an idea due to Viterbi. Our scheme maintains a fixed number of candidate paths in a history, each identified by an optimal subset of estimated mode probabilities. We compute a finite dimensional sub-optimal filter, which estimates the hidden state process and the mode probability. A computer simulation is provided.

The influence of varying the thermal processing parameters on the physical and mechanical properties of 6061-T4 aluminum alloy was studied. The variables altered were solution treatment temperatures, quenching media and natural aging durations. The influence of varying these parameters on the tensile strength, electrical resistivity and hardness of the alloy is discussed and correlated.

In this paper we propose a novel adaptive control algorithm which allows to handle the issues of detectability, robustness and transient performance of adaptive systems. The controller structurally is similar to that of Panteley et al (2002). It is designed, however, on the grounds of rather different philosophy – estimation of the derivatives of plant state. In addition to systems which can be rendered to be asymptotically stable by means of the state feedback, plants satisfying assumption of partial asymptotic stability are considered.

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 intersection. Based on this model, we derive gradients of the queue lengths with respect to the green/red light lengths within a signal cycle. We report preliminary numerical results comparing the performance of the estimates with finite-difference and smoothed perturbation analysis estimates. Then all estimators are used to optimize the traffic system via Stochastic Approximation.

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 event-related 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.

SummarySummaryThe aim of this paper is to present the results of combining two complementary areas of research. The first area is manufacturing cladistics, a classification system where best practice can be mapped allowing organisations to locate their position in evolution, the position of competitors and the chance to re-engineer their organisation using the classification as a guide. The second area is evolutionary systems modelling, which has successfully been applied to ecosystems, urban systems, industrial networks, economics and financial markets. Using an evolutionary framework, designed to model through simulation the evolution of manufacturing form, new structural organisations may be explored. In addition, organisational innovation and the consequences of particular decisions in the context of introducing new technologies and practices to the existing structure may also be investigated.
