To hit incoming balls back to a desired position, it is a key factor for table tennis robot to get racket parameters accurately. For modeling the stroke process, a novel model is built based on multiple neural networks. The input data for neural networks are the ball velocity differences during the stroke, and racket parameters are the output data. To reduce the influences from the invalid data, a neural network based on each empirical data is established. The training data are clustered based on the empirical data. The way of choosing a neural network to compute the racket parameters depends on the comparison between the new coming data and the empirical data. Moreover, a novel way based on a binocular vision system to verify the stroke model is proposed. Experimental results have showed that the stroke model created via the proposed method is applicable and the verification method is effective.

This paper presents a novel binarization technique for text images based on Markov Random Field (MRF) framework. We regard stroke as an obvious feature of text to produce clustering result, which will be optimized by MRF model combining color, texture, context features to get the final binarization. The main innovations of our method are: (1) the integrated image is split into sub-images on which we can automatically acquire seed pixels of foreground and background using stroke feature; and (2) diverse weights are attached to seed pixels according to their location information, then highly confident cluster centers of sub-image can be acquired by gathering weighted seeds. The experimental results show that our method is robust and accurate on both video and scene images.

In this paper, an infinite horizon optimal robust guaranteed cost control scheme of a class of continuous-time uncertain nonlinear systems is established based on adaptive dynamic programming. The main idea lies in that the optimal robust guaranteed cost control problem can be transformed into an optimal control problem. Actually, the optimal cost function of the nominal system is nothing but the optimal guaranteed cost of the original uncertain system. A critic neural network is constructed to help solving the modified Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation corresponding to the nominal system. Then, an additional stabilizing term is introduced to reinforce the updating process of the weight vector and reduce the requirement of an initial stabilizing control. An example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the present control approach.

Policy evaluation has long been one of the core issues of the online reinforcement learning, especially in the continuous state domain. In this paper, the issue is addressed by employing Gaussian processes to represent the action value function from the probability perspective. By modeling the return as a stochastic variable, the action value function can sequentially update according to observed variables such as state and reward by Bayesian inference during the policy evaluation. The update rule shows that it is a temporal difference learning method with the learning rate determined by the uncertainty of a collected sample. Incorporating the policy evaluation method with the e-greedy action selection method, we propose an online reinforcement learning algorithm referred as to Bayesian-SARSA. It is tested on some benchmark problems and the empirical results verifies its effectiveness.

Robot-assisted vascular interventions present promising trend for reducing the X-ray radiation to the surgeon during the operation. However, the control methods in the current vascular interventional robots only repeat the manipulation of the surgeon. While under certain circumstances, it is necessary to scale the manipulation of the surgeon to obtain a higher precision or a shorter manipulation time. A novel control method based on motion scaling for vascular interventional robot is proposed in this paper. The main idea of the method is to change the motion speed ratios between the master and the slave side. The motion scaling based control method is implemented in the vascular interventional robot we've developed before, so the operator can deliver the interventional devices under different motion scaling factors. Experiment studies verify the effectiveness of the motion scaling based control.

Hazard and operability (HAZOP) methodology is an important Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) technique for ensuring safety production in chemical industry. Due to the lacks of accuracy and reliability in manual HAZOP analysis, the quantitative HAZOP analysis has gained more and more attention. In this work, a process simulation-based HAZOP analysis method and its flow chart are proposed. And the proposed method is applied to a steam generation subsystem in an ethylene pyrolysis unit on a dynamic process simulation platform. All deviation parameters of system can be calculated and described quantitatively. The case study shows the proposed method is useful for the effective risk prevention and control measures in a chemical process.

The first issue of IEEE Intelligent Transportation systems Society (ITSS) starts with survey papers on technology and security for intelligent vehicles. The first paper titled 'Intra-Vehicle Networks: A Review' by S. Tuohy, M. Glavin, C. Hughes, E. Jones, M. Trivedi, and L. Kilmartin presents a comprehensive overview of current research on advanced intra-vehicle networks and identifies outstanding research questions for the future. J. Petit and S. E. Shladover's paper, 'Potential Cyberattacks on Automated Vehicles' analyzes the threats on autonomous automated vehicle and cooperative automated vehicle. 'A Video-Analysis-Based Railway-Road system for Detecting Hazard Situations at Level Crossings' by H. Salmane, L. Khoudour, and Y. Ruichek explores the possibility of implementing a smart video surveillance security system that is tuned toward detecting and evaluating abnormal situations induced by users in level crossing. 'Traffic Flow Prediction for Road Transportation Networks with Limited Traffic Data' by A. Abadi, T. Rajabioun, and P. A. Ioannou, uses a dynamic traffic simulator to generate flows in all links using available traffic information, estimated demand, and historical traffic data available from links equipped with sensors. The paper titled 'GNSS Multipath and Jamming Mitigation Using High-Mask-Angle Antennas and Multiple Constellations' studies the optimal antenna mask angle that maximizes the suppression of interference but still maintains the performance of a single constellation with a low-mask-angle antenna.
