In this paper, we investigate exponential stability of delayed recurrent neural networks. By using the delay partitioning method, some sufficient conditions are established to guarantee exponential stability of delayed recurrent neural networks under two different conditions with constructing new Lyapunov–Krasvoskii functional. This partitioning approach can reduce the conservatism comparing with some previous results of stability. At last, numerical examples are given out to show the effectiveness and advantage of our results.

This paper is concerned with the problems of stability for a class of impulsive positive systems. An impulsive positive system model is introduced for the first time and a necessary and sufficient condition guaranteeing the positivity of this kind of system is proposed. Several sufficient criteria of global exponential stability and global asymptotical stability for impulsive positive systems are established respectively by using a linear copositive Lyapunov function. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed results.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based indoor localization becomes a hotspot in the robotic research field recently. To overcome the shortcoming that plentiful tags are required in a normal RFID based localization system, this paper presents an indoor localization method by fusing measurements from wearable posture sensors and the absolute position information from scattered RFID tags. From the posture sensors, we can obtain the relative indoor localization data by summing up the vectors composed of step length and heading direction. Since this relative localization is highly affected by the cumulative error, the absolute positions of RFID tags are used as corrections if they are found within a read-range to the user. Because the RFID tags are sparsely placed in the indoor environment, the corrections can be achieved only at incomplete time instants. Therefore, a revised Kalman filter with incomplete observation is applied to the sensor fusion between the posture sensors and RFID tags. Experimental results show that the cumulative error of the system can be significantly reduced and the localization accuracy is enhanced through the sensor fusion.

An intelligent walking-aid robot is presented for walking assistance, training and rehabilitation of the elderly. The robot is intended to provide physical support and mobility aid for the old people during their walking based on recognizing their motion intentions online. A force measuring system comprised of force sensing resisters (FSRs) is designed to obtain the interaction forces between the user and the robot. The user's motion intention is then estimated by analyzing the relationship between the measured interaction forces and human intention force/torque. Further the estimated intention is used to guide the admittance based motion control of robot. To ensure a safe walking, a laser range finder (LRF) is used to detect the distance between the robot and the user's legs. A distance restraint control is also designed and taken into action when the distance is found beyond a safe threshold. Experiments were conducted and the results verified the effectiveness of the developed robot system and control methods.

In this paper, we propose an Activity-List based Nested Partitions algorithm for solving the Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem(RCPSP). This algorithm is based on traditional Serial Scheduling scheme (SSS) and partitions the feasible solution space which is formulated by activity-lists into subregions by the nested partitions approach. We also utilize Double Justification as local search to improve the solutions. The algorithm is tested on J120 in PSPLIB with the result that the algorithm is relatively effective for solving large-scale, complex RCPSPs.

This paper investigates the application of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to eliminate the misplacement problems in the supply chain, which consists of a risk-neutral manufacturer and a risk-averse retailer. By considering both fixed cost and tag cost of RFID implementation, we study the agents' incentives to adopt RFID in both uncoordinated and coordinated cases. We focus on analyzing the impact of risk attitudes on the agents’ incentives and on the supply chain coordination. The central semi-deviation is adopted to measure the retailer's risk attitude. In the uncoordinated case, we find that, in order to induce the retailer to adopt RFID, the manufacturer must assume more fixed cost if the retailer is more risk-averse. In the coordinated case, we first show that the standard revenue sharing contract does not always coordinate the channel. If the channel is coordinated, we observe that the agents’ incentives will be perfectly aligned and independent of the risk attitudes, if the revenue sharing ratio equals the fixed cost sharing ratio. Then we propose a risk-sharing contract that offers the risk protection to the retailer, to achieve the channel coordination. An interesting finding is that the manufacturer's incentive will not decrease with the tag cost, if she takes much risk from the retailer. The corresponding impacts of RFID adoption on the two contracts are also analyzed in this paper. Finally, a case study in a tobacco industry is presented to show the real RFID cost in practice.
