The Thesaurus project, funded by the Tuscany Region, had among its goals the development of technologies and methodologies for archaeological search with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles working as a team in exploration missions. This has led to the design and realization of a new AUV class, the Typhoon, on the basis of the archaeological requirements, and of an appropriate acoustic simultaneous communication and localization scheme. The paper describes the project background, the technical characteristics of the Typhoon AUVs, and the field results in acoustic localization as obtained in the CommsNet13 cruise, led by the NATO CMRE (Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation), to which the Thesaurus project teams of the University of Pisa and Florence took part. In particular, the fields result reports the performance of acoustic localization through on-board USBL communicating with fixed modems placed in initially unknown locations.

We consider a scenario where price-responsive energy consumers are allowed to optimize their individual utilities via mechanisms of load-shifting in a distribution network subject to capacity constraints. The uncoordinated selfish behavior of the consumers would lead, in general, to requests that could not be served by the distribution network because of such constraints. Thus, a centralized or hierarchically coordination mechanism is required. We derive algorithms and methods to determine in real-time the largest set of consumers' decisions that are compatible with the physical constraints of the network and capable of avoiding congestion phenomena in the future. These methods are shown to be applicable to the design of coordination mechanisms with the aim of providing a large number of degrees of freedom to the users while guaranteeing the integrity of the system.

This paper deals with the synthesis of an observer based optimal control using the Block Pulse Functions (BPFs) parametrization technique. This tool transforms the optimal control problem to a mathematical programming problem that can be solved numerically. The importance of the proposed technique for the synthesis of the state observer with optimal control via BPFs has been illustrated through a numerical simulation study on an aircraft system model, which has highlighted the effectiveness of the developed method.

The strong nonlinear and uncertain parameters of the switched reluctance motor make the traditional controllers difficult to ensure its performance and stable operation under diverse operating conditions. In this paper, we present two designs of H∞, robust controller for switched reluctance motor drives for electrical vehicle to aim at attenuating the effect of disturbances and parameters uncertainties. For the application of the H∞ theory, we have adopted the cascade control architecture (velocity - torque). The first controller of velocity in the outer control loop products the total torque of SRM. Hence, a linear equivalent mechanical dynamic is obtained. In the inner control loop, the phase reference current is determined using the torque-angle-current (T-θ-i) characteristics stored in a tabular form, the torque is regulated indirectly through the second controller of current. The design of both speed and current robust controllers using modern H∞ control theory is then summarized. For each control loop, two H∞ synthesis approaches are used and compared by μ-analysis. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed robust controllers and confirm the ability of the proposed designs.

The limited ability to dorsiflex the foot, known as drop foot, can be treated by functional electrical stimulation. Therein, undesired foot eversion/inversion is a common problem which is usually corrected by tedious manual repositioning of the electrodes. We address this issue by presenting a feedback-control solution featuring three major contributions: (1) an algorithm for inertial sensor-based foot-to-ground angle measurement with periodic drift correction; (2) a three-electrode setup that allows distribution of an overall stimulation intensity to the tibialis anterior muscle and to the superficial peroneal nerve that innervates the fibularis longus muscle, thus decoupling dorsiflexion and eversion control; (3) a run-to-run controller and an iterative learning controller, both of which use step-by-step learning to achieve desired eversion foot-to-ground angles. Experiments with a chronic drop foot patient demonstrate compensation of undesired eversion/inversion within at most two steps, while dorsiflexion angle trajectories are not affected.

In this work, a combined sensor data validation/reconstruction and contaminant event diagnosis approach is proposed for Smart Building systems, implemented as a two-stage approach. In the first stage, sensor communication faults are detected and missing data is estimated, in order to provide a reliable dataset to perform contaminant event diagnosis in the second stage. For the first stage, the sensor validation and reconstruction technique is based on the combined use of spatial and time series models. On the one hand, spatial models take advantage of the physical relation between different variables in the system, whilst on the other hand, time series models take advantage of the temporal redundancy of the measured variables, using Holt-Winters time series models. For the second stage, contaminant event diagnosis is based on contaminant detection and isolation estimator schemes, using adaptive thresholds by assuming certain bounds on the measurement noise and the model uncertainty. In order to apply these diagnosis schemes, state-space models have been considered in order to model the contaminant dispersion over the indoor building environment, where the contaminant event is modelled as a fault in the process which needs to be detected and isolated. Finally, the proposed approach is successfully demonstrated for the Holmes House smart building scenario.

The aim of this paper is to present a survey of the activities carried out by the University Politecnica delle Marche concerning the safe mobility of visually impaired people in order to involve the control and automation community and present some hints for discussion. For this purpose, this contribution reports and discusses the use of electromagnetic (EM) systems as assistive technologies for mobility tasks of blind subjects also highlighting their advantages with respect to existing traditional electronic travel aids, in terms of performances, miniaturization, and wear ability. In particular, two applications of EM technologies will be discussed more in detail: a first example consists in the design and realization of a laboratory prototype of an EM sensor, able to detect the presence of obstacles, aimed to help visually impaired users during mobility tasks, possibly allowing them to walk safely and independently. The second example is the theoretical and experimental study of feasibility of an EM system, specifically addressed to visually impaired runners. Finally, some clues for discussion will be presented; the user interaction with the sensing system, the signal analysis and possible features extraction will be reviewed addressing issues requiring a multidisciplinary approach.

We cope with the task of output feedback stabilization of a parametrically uncertain linear plants of arbitrary relative degree under the matching harmonic disturbances of unknown frequency ω. Advancing the previously obtained results for the hybrid “consecutive compensator” controller, we present two different event-based switching algorithms incorporating only current measurements of the system output. These algorithms are needed for iterative substitution of the disturbance frequency estimations ω(t) to the feedback. It was shown that the proposed controller guarantees system invariance with respect to the external disturbance for ω(t) = ω. Simulation results bring out provided advantages of the proposed approach.

In this paper a forklift (mobile robot) localization method in an industrial environment is presented. The presented method is based on an adaptive Monte Carlo localization using three laser range scanners, where two safety lasers are located at the ground level and one laser is located at the top level of the vehicle. Each level(layer) has its own independent map acquired by mapping algorithms prior to the localization. The proposed localization method is based on two independent localizations at each level (layer) and their fusion. Presented method is tested in the realistic industrial environment and compared to the marker-based localization that is accurate enough to be considered a ground truth.

This work aims at comparing two oxygen control strategies for a biological Sequencing Batch Reactor to treat both carbon and nitrogen. The first strategy is a sequence of purely aerobic and anoxic phases, a strategy initially proposed by Mazouni et al. (2009), while the second is based on the use of a low constant oxygen concentration setpoint which could present a number of practical advantages over the first strategy.
