To make humanoid robots walking fast, it's important to improve driving force of their leg joints. Usually, each joint of humanoid robots is driven by a single motor. Dual-motor joint, on the other hand, is one of the candidate solutions to meet the power requirement needed for fast walking. This paper proposed a new dual-motor control model. In the model, two motors are treated as a single control plant instead of two parallel control plants. With the usage of current distributor, the control model can pump different current to each motor freely so as to eliminate the unbalance of the load imposed on each motor. Simulation and experiment show that the proposed model works well under high joint load and it can be used on a fast walking humanoid robot.

Tracking law designed for future Mars entry missions is investigated in this article. For precision landing, the nonlinear entry dynamics, complex uncertainties and input saturation constraints are unavoidable problems. Facing these challenges, the Mars entry trajectory tracking scheme via constrained multi-model predictive control (CMPC) is employed. The CMPC is made up of some constrained predictive control (CPC) in different time domain during the Mars entry mission. Each constrained predictive controller consists of a linearized prediction model (obtained by linearizing at different operating point), feedback correction for active model mismatch rejection caused by the complex uncertainties, and constrained rolling optimization for a smooth control input under a saturation constraint. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate the effectiveness and excellence of the proposed method under the saturation constraint of input and uncertainties of initial state and aerodynamic parameters such as atmospheric density, ballistic coefficient and lift-to-drag ratio.

This paper proposes a method to counter the drift associated to unknown non-identical natural frequencies in the Kuramoto model of coupled oscillators. Inspired by the quantum dynamical decoupling technique, it builds on a time-varying variant of the dynamics to effectively bring the oscillator phases closer to the same value. This allows effective synchronization despite arbitrarily large differences in natural frequencies. For two agents admitting instantaneous position exchanges, we exactly compute how the relative phase converges to a stable periodic fixed point. The latter tends to zero when the dynamics switches at a faster rate. With continuous state evolutions, using a related dynamic controller instead of instantaneous jumps, we show with a Lyapunov function that exact phase synchronization is obtained. We generalize the method to multiple oscillators with instantaneous state exchanges, that can be implemented by cycling through a predefined or random sequence of exchanges. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the algorithms.

Pose variation is one of the challenging factors for face recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel cross-pose face recognition method named as Regularized Latent Least Square Regression (RLLSR). The basic assumption is that the images captured under different poses of one person can be viewed as pose-specific transforms of a single ideal object. We treat the observed images as regressor, the ideal object as response, and then formulate this assumption in the least square regression framework, so as to learn the multiple pose-specific transforms. Specifically, we incorporate some prior knowledge as two regularization terms into the least square approach: 1) the smoothness regularization, as the transforms for nearby poses should not differ too much;2) the local consistency constraint, as the distribution of the latent ideal objects should preserve the geometric structure of the observed image space. We develop an alternating algorithm to simultaneously solve for the ideal objects of the training individuals and a set of pose-specific transforms. The experimental results on the Multi-PIE dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and superiority over the previous methods.

In this paper, decentralized filtering of multiagent systems with coupling uncertainties is proposed and investigated. The considered multi-agent system is composed of many agents, each of which evolves with a discrete-time stochastic linear time-varying dynamics, and every agent can be locally influenced by its neighbor agents. Therefore the states evolution of each agent is not only related with its previous states but also related with its neighbors' previous states in the linear dynamic system. Communication limitations existing in the considered multi-agent system restrict that each agent can only observe its own measurements (outputs) and its neighbor agents' outputs while the states are invisible to any agent. Because of communication limitations and information constraints, without knowing the coupling gains of the local interactions, it is not easy for each agent to estimate its states by traditional kalman filter or other state observers, which were extensively discussed in the literature. In this preliminary study, for the considered coupled linear discrete-time multiagent system with uncertain linear local couplings, based on the key idea of state augmentation and the certainty-equivalence principle borrowed from the area of adaptive control, we propose an efficient decentralized kalman filtering scheme, for each agent, to simultaneously estimate the unknown states and coupling parameters, and extensive simulations are conducted, which have clearly verified the effectiveness of the proposed decentralized filtering scheme.

UAV can work in places that are dangerous, or not easy to reach for humans. However, due to active control and operating difficulties, it is still a challenge to develop fully autonomous flight in complex environments. This paper applies a novel heuristic dynamic programming for the UAV heading optimal tracking controller design, using kernel-based heuristic dynamic programming (KHDP). Kernel-based HDP is developed by integrating kernel methods and approximately linear dependence (ALD) analysis with the critic learning of HDP algorithm. Compared with conventional HDP where neural networks are widely used and their features were manually designed, the proposed algorithm can obtain better generalization capability and learning efficiency through applying the sparse kernel machine into the critic learning process of HDP algorithm. Simulation and experimental results of UAV heading optimal tracking control problems demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed kernel-based HDP algorithm.
