Disturbance observer-based adaptive boundary iterative learning control for a rigid-flexible manipulator with input backlash and endpoint constraint

In this article, an observer-based adaptive boundary iterative learning control law is developed for a class of two-link rigid-flexible manipulator with input backlash, the unknown external disturbance, and the endpoint constraint. To tackle the backlash nonlinearities and ensure the vibration suppression, the disturbance observers based upon the iterative learning conception are considered in the adaptive boundary control design. A barrier Lyapunov function is incorporated with boundary control law to restrict the endpoint state. Based on the defined barrier composite energy function, the tracking angle error convergence of the rigid part is guaranteed, and the vibrations of the flexible part are suppressed through the rigorous analysis. Finally, a numerical simulation is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control.     

Integral barrier Lyapunov function-based adaptive fuzzy output feedback control for nonlinear delayed systems with time-varying full-state constraints

In this article, an adaptive fuzzy output feedback control method is presented for nonlinear time-delay systems with time-varying full state constraints and input saturation. To overcome the problem of time-varying constraints, the integral barrier Lyapunov functions (IBLFs) integrating with dynamic surface control (DSC) are applied for the first time to keep the state from violating constraints. The effects of unknown time delays can be removed by using designed Lyapunov-Krasovskii functions (LKFs). An auxiliary design system is introduced to solve the problem of input saturation. The unknown nonlinear functions are approximated by the fuzzy logic systems (FLS), and the unmeasured states are estimated by a designed fuzzy observer. The novel controller can guarantee that all signals remain semiglobally uniformly ultimately bounded and satisfactory tracking performance is achieved. Finally, two simulation examples illustrate the effectiveness of the presented control methods.     

Clustering adaptive canonical correlations for high-dimensional multi-modal data

Multi-modal canonical correlation analysis (MCCA) is an important joint dimension reduction method and has been widely applied to clustering tasks of multi-modal data. MCCA-based clustering is usually dimension reduction of high-dimensional data followed by clustering of low-dimensional data. However, the two-stage clustering is difficult to ensure the adaptability of dimension reduction and clustering, which will affect the final clustering performance. To solve the issue, we propose a novel clustering adaptive multi-modal canonical correlations (CAMCCs) method, which constructs a unified optimization model of multi-modal correlation learning and clustering. The method not only realizes discriminant learning of correlation projection directions under unsupervised cases, but also is able to directly obtain class labels of multi-modal data. Additionally, the method also realizes out-of-sample extension in class labels. Solutions of CAMCCs are optimized by an iterative way, and we analyze its convergence. Extensive experimental results on various datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of the method.     

A signal adaptive diffusion filter for video coding: Mathematical framework and complexity reductions

In this paper we combine video compression and modern image processing methods. We construct novel iterative filter methods for prediction signals based on Partial Differential Equation (PDE) based methods. The mathematical framework of the employed diffusion filter class is given and some desirable properties are stated. In particular, two types of diffusion filters are constructed: a uniform diffusion filter using a fixed filter mask and a signal adaptive diffusion filter that incorporates the structures of the underlying prediction signal. The latter has the advantage of not attenuating existing edges while the uniform filter is less complex. The filters are embedded into a software based on HEVC with additional QTBT (Quadtree plus Binary Tree) and MTT (Multi-Type-Tree) block structure. In this setting, several measures to reduce the coding complexity of the tool are introduced, discussed and tested thoroughly. The coding complexity is reduced by up to 70% while maintaining over 80% of the gain. Overall, the diffusion filter method achieves average bitrate savings of 2.27% for Random Access having an average encoder runtime complexity of 119% and 117% decoder runtime complexity. For individual test sequences, results of 7.36% for Random Access are accomplished.     

Adaptive retrieval practice with multiple-choice questions in the university classroom

Retrieval practice promotes retention more than restudying (i.e., the testing effect) and is applied to many educational settings. However, little research has investigated means to enhance this effect in educational settings. Theoretical accounts assume retrieval practice to be the most effective whenever retrieval is difficult but successful. Therefore, we developed a novel retrieval practice procedure, which adapts to learners' abilities and can be applied irrespective of learning content. This adaptive procedure aims to make retrieval gradually easier whenever students provide an incorrect answer. In a field experiment, students read book chapters as part of a weekly university course. In three consecutive weeks, they then practiced reading assignments by (a) adaptive testing, (b) non-adaptive testing and (c) restudy. In Week 4, a surprise criterial test took place. Restudy outperformed both testing conditions, whereas adaptive testing performed equally well as non-adaptive testing. However, exploratory analyses revealed that with increasing retention intervals, the superiority of restudy disappeared. Furthermore, whenever participants fully read the assignments and retention intervals increased, adaptive testing outperformed non-adaptive testing. In sum, adaptive retrieval practice did not prove to be generally superior, but retention interval and students' preparation for class might be conditions rendering adaptive retrieval useful in educational settings.     

Adaptive quaternion control of a 3-DOF inertial stabilised platforms

ABSTRACT

Inertial stabilised platforms are increasingly popular with a large range of products available mainstream. Most items are controlled using popular algorithms that sometimes do not offer best achievable performances. Present paper proposes an advanced control which aims at improving these latter. The exposed solution is based on quaternion representation and self-adapts to the characteristics of the payload it tries to stabilise. Proposed control law ensures the stability of the system whatever the required orientation path is. Although only simulation has been performed to check the performances of such control, results look very promising compared to non-adaptive controls and may help to construct more polyvalent and efficient gimbals which would further facilitate their expansion. Proposed control law can also be applied, as is, to every system that shares the same quaternion-based rotational dynamics.     

A stiffness parameter and truncation error criterion for adaptive path following in structural mechanics

We explore a truncation error criterion to steer adaptive step length refinement and coarsening in incremental-iterative path following procedures, applied to problems in large-deformation structural mechanics. Elaborating on ideas proposed by Bergan and collaborators in the 1970s, we first describe an easily computable scalar stiffness parameter whose sign and rate of change provide reliable information on the local behavior and complexity of the equilibrium path. We then derive a simple scaling law that adaptively adjusts the length of the next step based on the rate of change of the stiffness parameter at previous points on the path. We show that this scaling is equivalent to keeping a local truncation error constant in each step. We demonstrate with numerical examples that our adaptive method follows a path with a significantly reduced number of points compared to an analysis with uniform step length of the same fidelity level. A comparison with Abaqus illustrates that the truncation error criterion effectively concentrates points around the smallest-scale features of the path, which is generally not possible with automatic incrementation solely based on local convergence properties.

Stabilisation of stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion via aperiodically intermittent control

ABSTRACT

As an emerging field, the G-Itô stochastic calculus plays an important role in describing the model uncertainty. Many interesting works have been done on stochastic differential equations driven by G-Brownian motion (G-SDEs). Among the theories and applications of G-SDEs, the stability is the vital important one. In this paper, we investigate the stabilisation for G-SDEs based on G-Lyapunov function and aperiodically adaptive intermittent controller. As an application, the sufficient conditions are established for the stabilisation of stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks driven by G-Brownian motion (G-SCGNNs). Finally, an example is provided to illustrate the obtained results.
