In this paper, a new generalized value iteration algorithm is developed to solve infinite horizon optimal control problems for discrete-time nonlinear systems. The idea is to use iterative adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) to obtain the iterative control law which makes the iterative performance index function reach the optimum. The generalized value iteration algorithm permits an arbitrary positive semi-definite function to initialize it, which overcomes the disadvantage of traditional value iteration algorithms. When the iterative control law and iterative performance index function in each iteration cannot be accurately obtained, a new design method of the convergence criterion for the generalized value iteration algorithm with finite approximation errors is established to make the iterative performance index functions converge to a finite neighborhood of the lowest bound of all performance index functions. Simulation results are given to illustrate the performance of the developed algorithm.

Probing nanostructures (e.g., nanoelectronics) requires accurate and precise nanopositioning. Furthermore, since measuring I-V data from DC to GHz typically takes more than a minute, little drift is tolerated during the data collection process. This paper reports a closed-loop controlled nanomanipulation system for operation inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The system consists of long range coarse positioners and high precision fine positioners. A new position sensing method was developed to achieve nanometer sensing resolution. Closed-loop controller is introduced to control fine. Experimental results demonstrate that the system is capable of automated probing of nanostructures with accuracy better than 3 nm and a drift rate

The correspondence between key points is an important problem in lunar surface image processing, and further lays the foundation for the navigation of a rover and the terrain reconstruction of the lunar surface. However, the problem is still challenging due to the existence of large scale and rotation transformations, reflected view of the same scenery, and different illumination conditions between acquired images as the lunar rover moves forward. Traditional appearance matching algorithms, like SIFT, often fail in handling the above situations. By utilizing the structural cues between points, in this paper we propose a probabilistic spectral graph matching method to tackle the point correspondence problem in lunar surface images acquired by Yutu lunar rover which has been recently transmitted to the moon by China's Chang'e-3 lunar probe. Compared with traditional methods, the proposed method has three advantages. First, the incorporation of the structural information makes the matching more robust with respect to geometric transformations and illumination changes. Second, the assignment between points is interpreted in a probabilistic manner, and thus the best assignments can be easily figured out by ranking the probabilities. Third, the optimization problem can be efficiently approximately solved by spectral decomposition. Simulations on real lunar surface images witness the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we present a simple yet effective visual tracking algorithm with an appearance model based on 2D discrete cosine transform (2D-DCT) representations. The DCT has the properties of decorrelation and energy compaction, and is robust against geometry and illumination changes. Hence, it is suitable for appearance modeling and the features of our appearance model are extracted from an optimized low dimensional subspace. In order to adapt to the appearance change caused by environment change or ego motion, we also propose to update the observation appearance model through a nonlinear weighted method. Numerous experiments on some challenging video sequences demonstrated that our algorithm is effective and it considerably outperforms the other methods.

A mother or transporting robot is designed in this paper, which is dedicated to retrieve, transport and deploy the children or smaller robots to configure a robotic team called the marsupial robotic system. In order to manage children robots flexibly, a multi-floor docking station is mounted on the mother robot with a lifting platform which is dragged via lead-screw driving. Touch switches are utilized to initialize the lifting height and identify whether a child robot arrives at the parking position. Also, a dock camera is set on the top of the station to recognize different children robots for the purpose of deploying or retrieving. The locomotion ability is enhanced by combining the advantages of the wheeled-mobile platform and tracked-mobile platform with the concept of wheel-track combo, which barely increases the complexity of mechanism. Finally, a prototype of mother robot is developed and implemented.

This paper focuses on the problem of secure distributed consensus to defend covert misbehavior in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Distributed consensus is a promising method to improve the efficiency and precision of consensus results in WSNs, but it introduces new security issues that malicious nodes may manipulate false sensing data to degrade the sensing result of the whole network. A data falsification attack, i.e., the attacker injects random values into its neighboring nodes at each time-step of consensus process, is considered. This kind of attack cannot be defended against by most of existing detection mechanisms. We present a distributed detection mechanism with adaptive local threshold to isolate the abnormal nodes. A Weighted Averaging-based Consensus Scheme (WACS) is proposed to decrease the negative impact of the attack and make the network converge to a consensus value. It is proved that convergence property can be guaranteed by the relationship between weighted average of the noise and stochastic approximation. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed secure scheme.

In this paper, aiming at the indoor scene under monitoring by visual sensor network (VSN), an object recognition approach based on structural feature is presented. Firstly, we regard the output of existing line segment detector LSD with proper parameters as the preliminary extraction result and it still will be further restored and split. Then, we give an inference model based on structural features of object including line segment ontology characteristics and relative relationship between the line segments. Finally, the objects are recognized with position information through inference. The effectiveness of the approach is verified, and the results show that our approach does not rely on segmentation and has robustness on partial defect and structural deformation to some extent.
