    查看更多>>摘要:For mitigating the libration angle fluctuation of the tethered satellite system,this paper discusses how to make the uniform velocity-deceleration separation scheme achieve the best effect.First,a judgment condition is established to determine the tether state by comparing the tether length and the relative distance of the sub-satellite and the parent satellite.Based on the tethered satellite system dynamics equation and Clohessy-Wiltshire equation,dynamic models are given for four cases of tether states.Second,the influence of the uniform velocity-deceleration separation scheme on the libration angle is analyzed by taking the libration angle at the separation ending time and the mean absolute value of the libration angle as index functions.Then,the optimality problem of the uniform velocity-deceleration separation scheme is formulated as an optimization problem with constraints,and an approximate solution algorithm is given by combining the back propagation neural network and Newton-Raphson method of multiple initial values.Finally,the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a numerical simulation.

    查看更多>>摘要:This paper discusses the data-driven design of linear quadratic regulators,i.e.,to obtain the regulators directly from exper-imental data without using the models of plants.In particular,we aim to improve an existing design method by reducing the amount of the required experimental data.Reducing the data amount leads to the cost reduction of experiments and computation for the data-driven design.We present a simplified version of the existing method,where parameters yielding the gain of the regulator are estimated from only part of the data required in the existing method.We then show that the data amount required in the presented method is less than half of that in the existing method under certain conditions.In addition,assuming the presence of measurement noise,we analyze the relations between the expectations and variances of the estimated parameters and the noise.As a result,it is shown that using a larger amount of the experimental data might mitigate the effects of the noise on the estimated parameters.These results are verified by numerical examples.

    查看更多>>摘要:This paper introduces a Kalman-type recursive state estimator for a class of discrete-time stochastic linear singular systems where the measurements are carried part by part periodically following a scheduling algorithm.We consider that the system is in a network with limited allotted bandwidth,which refers to a situation where the total available bandwidth for data transmission through the network is limited.This limitation can occur for various reasons,such as network congestion,resource allocation policies,or bandwidth limitations imposed by network administrators.In such networks,the entire measurement vector cannot be transmitted to the estimator instantly.Thus,managing a network with a limited allotted bandwidth requires careful planning,monitoring,and implementing some scheduling strategies to optimize the use of measured data while estimating the system states.We show that a scheduling method,namely,round-robin protocol,is suitable for singular systems to deal with such a scenario.The upper bound of the prior error covariance is studied via a periodic Riccati equation(PRE).To retain the boundedness of prior error covariance,the stability of the PRE is examined by the observability properties of the round-robin-induced system.Finally,a simulation example is presented to show the effectiveness of the designed filtering scheme.

    Pl-funnel and inverse hysteresis compensation cascade control of smart soft dielectric elastomer actuator

    查看更多>>摘要:Smart soft dielectric elastomer actuators(SSDEAs)possess wide applications in soft robotics due to their properties similar to natural muscles,including large deformation ratio,high energy density,and fast response speed.However,the complicated asymmetric and rate-dependent hysteresis property,creep property and quadratic input property of the SSDEA pose enormous challenges to its dynamic modeling and motion control.In this paper,first,we construct the dynamic model of the SSDEA by connecting a square module,a one-sided Prandtl-Ishlinskii(OSPI)model and a linear system in series to describe the above properties.The key and innovative aspect of the dynamic modeling lies in cascading the square module in series with the OSPI model to construct the asymmetric hysteresis model.Subsequently,a PI-funnel and inverse hysteresis compensation(PIFIHC)cascade control method of the SSDEA is proposed to actualize its tracking control objective.By performing the inversion operation on the asymmetric hysteresis model,the inverse hysteresis compensation controller(IHCC)is designed to compensate the asymmetric hysteresis property and quadratic input property of the SSDEA.In addition,a PI-funnel controller is designed to cascade with the IHCC to construct the PIFIHC cascade controller to obtain a good tracking performance.Then,the stability analysis of the PIFIHC cascade control system of the SSDEA is performed to theoretically prove that the tracking error can be controlled within the performance funnel and the steady-state error converges to zero.Finally,several practical tracking control experiments of the SSDEA are conducted,and RRMSEs are less than 2.30%for all experiments.These experimental results indicate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed PIFIHC cascade control method of the SSDEA.

    Pathological basal ganglia oscillations with time delays:a memoryless feedback control strategy

    查看更多>>摘要:Pathological basal ganglia oscillations are associated with the hypokinetic motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease.In this paper,a memoryless feedback control strategy is proposed to suppress pathological oscillations in the basal ganglia.In the most of closed-loop control strategies,the excitatory subthalamic nucleus populations are both monitored and stimulated targets,neglecting the important contribution of the external globus pallidus populations in suppressing pathological oscillations.To this end,we transform the original model into a time-delay system with a lower-triangular structure,and construct a memoryless state feedback controller utilizing the gain scaling method.It is proved by the Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional method that all the signals of the resulting closed-loop system are bounded,and the system states converge to an adjustable region of the origin.In addition,the input delay in stimulating the target is considered and a corresponding controller is designed to achieve convergence of the states in the resulting closed-loop system with both state delays and input delay.Moreover,simulation tests are conducted to explore the performance of the control strategy.This paper further explores the intrinsic dynamics in the neural system,and provides an effective strategy for closed-loop deep brain stimulation control.

    查看更多>>摘要:In this paper,a novel robust composite sliding mode controller(RCSMC)is proposed to accommodate actuator faults for a quadrotor UAV subject to unknown disturbances.The closed-loop system is divided into two parts:the nominal system without disturbances which is controlled by the designed baseline controller,and the equivalent total disturbances including parameter uncertainties and actuator faults,which is estimated by the developed adaptive finite-time extended state observer(AFTESO).The estimated total disturbances are rejected by RCSMC and the asymptotic stability of flight control system is guaranteed.The proposed method is verified through numerical simulations.

    查看更多>>摘要:For the analysis of spinal and disc diseases,automated tissue segmentation of the lumbar spine is vital.Due to the continuous and concentrated location of the target,the abundance of edge features,and individual differences,conventional automatic segmentation methods perform poorly.Since the success of deep learning in the segmentation of medical images has been shown in the past few years,it has been applied to this task in a number of ways.The multi-scale and multi-modal features of lumbar tissues,however,are rarely explored by methodologies of deep learning.Because of the inadequacies in medical images availability,it is crucial to effectively fuse various modes of data collection for model training to alleviate the problem of insufficient samples.In this paper,we propose a novel multi-modality hierarchical fusion network(MHFN)for improving lumbar spine segmentation by learning robust feature representations from multi-modality magnetic resonance images.An adaptive group fusion module(AGFM)is introduced in this paper to fuse features from various modes to extract cross-modality features that could be valuable.Furthermore,to combine features from low to high levels of cross-modality,we design a hierarchical fusion structure based on AGFM.Compared to the other feature fusion methods,AGFM is more effective based on experimental results on multi-modality MR images of the lumbar spine.To further enhance segmentation accuracy,we compare our network with baseline fusion structures.Compared to the baseline fusion structures(input-level:76.27%,layer-level:78.10%,decision-level:79.14%),our network was able to segment fractured vertebrae more accurately(85.05%).

    Distributed robust matrix-scaled consensus control of perturbed multi-agent systems

    查看更多>>摘要:Distributed matrix-scaled consensus is a kind of generalized cooperative control problem and has broad applications in the field of social network and engineering.This paper addresses the robust distributed matrix-scaled consensus of perturbed multi-agent systems suffering from unknown disturbances.Distributed discontinuous protocols are first proposed to drive agents to achieve cluster consensus and suppress the effect of disturbances.Adaptive protocols with time-varying gains obeying differential equations are also designed,which are completely distributed and rely on no global information.Using the boundary layer technique,smooth protocols are proposed to avoid the unexpected chattering effect due to discontinuous functions.As a cost,under the designed smooth protocols,the defined matrix-scaled consensus error tends to a residual set rather than zero,in which the residual bound is arbitrary small by choosing proper parameters.Moreover,distributed dynamic event-based matrix-scalar consensus controllers are also proposed to avoid continuous communications.Simulation examples are provided to further verify the designed algorithms.
