Systems are often controlled using feedback loops. Fault diagnosis schemes are usually designed assuming that there is no feedback loop. Therefore fault diagnosis methods need to accommodate for the feedback loop. One...

This paper considers the path-planning problem in discretized environments, obtained for example by a cell decomposition approach. The specification for the mobile robot can be the classical navigation problem (reach a given region by avoiding the obstacles) or a high-level specification as a Boolean and/or temporal logic formula. We propose a general methodology to compute piecewise linear trajectories consisting in a sequence of intermediate points (waypoints). The waypoints are computed by solving optimization problems whose solutions permit to optimally select the intermediate points on the common facets of traversed cells from the decomposition. The proposed solution is similar to a Model Predictive control (MPC) strategy, in each step an optimization problem is solved over a finite horizon, the first action is considered and the problem is iterated. The method developed in this paper has been implemented and integrated in Robot Motion Toolbox allowing a comparison with other methods by simulation.

Product oriented manufacturing is aligned with one of the Industry 4.0 trends consisting of integrating all production systems. This implies shifting from a traditional view of manufacturing processes focused on production line in order to reduce costs, to a more flexible and customized product manufacturing. On the other hand, Multi Agent Systems (MAS) have been proved to be a suitable way to fulfill these requirements. However, a key aspect of the use of novel technologies is to offer methodologies and tools for supporting the implementation of such systems. In this sense, this paper uses Model Driven engineering and MAS technology to propose an architecture that is able to launch and execute a manufacturing execution plan. It focuses on the information models managed by architecture agents that can be customized to particular manufacturing plants as well as on the definition of agent templates.

Nowadays Electroencephalogram (EEG) devices allow the recording of signals that can be used to extract information necessary to identify different types of cognitive processes. In EEG classification, Feature Selection (FS) represents a pivotal phase, as these problems request the processing of a large amount of high-dimensional patterns. In this paper, FS has been solved by an embedded multi-objective genetic optimization procedure which evolves a population of potential solutions (subsets of features), subject to the simultaneous minimization of the misclassification ratio and number of selected attributes. Random Forests (RF) classifiers are adopted, due to their fast training and their compatibility with spread classes of very diverse patterns. The main contribution presented in this paper consists in introducing an inertial behavior to feature extraction. The available feature set is extended with features from previous time frames, and FS is performed on this extended set. In this context, the experimental analysis illustrates the impact of the temporal extension on FS. Additionally, two enhancements are proposed for the multi-objective optimization, to support an effective Pareto-ranking of the solutions in the expanded exploration search space. Thus, the number of trees in the embedded RF classifier is gradually increased, for reducing the computational load requested for the evaluation of the misclassification ratio, without impeding the exploration. Also, the preference for the minimization of misclassifications is set by introducing a dynamic objective function for describing the parsimony of the selected subset of attributes. The proposed FS is experimentally demonstrated on EEG data collected during mathematical tasks of gradual complexities.

Solving Lur'e equations plays a critical role in addressing linear-quadratic optimal control (LQOC) problems, especially in cases where the control cost matrices are singular. This paper introduces, for the first time, two novel zeroing neural network (ZNN) models—ZNNLE and ZNNLE-LQOC—specifically designed to solve the Lur'e equation system and the LQOC problem, respectively. The proposed models extend the applicability of the ZNN methodology to these challenging scenarios by offering robust and efficient solutions to time-varying matrix equations. Theoretical analyses confirm the validity of both models, while numerical simulations and practical applications demonstrate their effectiveness. Moreover, a comparative study with an enhanced alternating-direction implicit (ADI) method highlights the superior performance of the ZNNLE-LQOC model in solving LQOC problems.
