This paper presents a combined robotic and external ballistic model to predict the feed pellet distribution pattern across the water surface generated by a pneumatic rotary feed spreader commonly used in sea cage aquaculture. Results from experimental studies have been used to parameterize and validate the model. The model can be applied to evaluate spreader performance under varying operational conditions as well as exploring alternative spreader designs and configurations in order to optimize pellet distribution and feed utilization with respect to fish growth and welfare.

The faulty vibration signals generally represent a combination of source and transmission path effects. For example, internal forces in vehicle gearbox which are the source of vibration act on a structure whose properties may be described by a frequency response function between the point of application and the point of measurements. A conventional frequency analysis of a spectrum will have transmission path effects affecting the true source signature and also cannot pinpoint the defects accurately where the problem is associated with more than one sideband and harmonic in case of vehicle gearbox. In the present paper, the transmission path effects are additive and can be separated in autocorrelation and cepstrum analyses, also it gives an accurate detection of periodic structure in a spectrum associated with many harmonics and sidebands as a single component for each family of sidebands without any difficulty in interpreting the sideband structure like in spectrum. The test stand is equipped with two dynamometers; the input dynamometer serves as internal combustion engine, the output dynamometer introduces the load on the flange of output joint shaft. An artificial fault is introduced in vehicle gearbox bearing: an orthogonally placed groove on the inner race with the initial width of 0.6 mm approximately. The results show the effectiveness of proposed analyses in diagnosis and detection of the rolling bearing condition.

In this paper, an architecture that allows the synchronized recording of cerebral, muscular and biomechanical data during lower limb activities has been designed. The synchronization issue has been addressed. The goal is to analyze the relationship between the different signals, first during simple lower limbs movements, then extending the analysis to gait. Five incomplete spinal cord injury patients and four healthy users participated in experiments to validate the architecture. The users were asked to perform simple movements that involve only one or two joints, particularly knee and ankle. Future studies with the recorded data will address several issues, such as creating neuromusculoskeletal models that relate kinematics data with EMG information, improving the decoding of the angles of the lower limb through EEG signals, or analyzing the coherence between the EEG signals and the EMG information.

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are highly complex systems. Therefore, it is difficult to predict the key parameters of water quality. Researches show that feed-forward neural networks have strong ability to approximate nonlinear functions. In order to predict the parameters of water quality, this paper proposes a modeling method by using artificial neural networks to predict the effluent quantity, including the concentration of chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand and total suspended solid. The appropriate architecture of ANN models is determined through several steps of training and testing of the model. The performance of the artificial neural network model was assessed through the correlation coefficient (R) and mean square error (MSE). The results demonstrate that the proposed modeling method is effective and useful.

This article addresses the problem of designing an LPV controller for a water delivery canal based on reduced complexity linear models with a priori chosen order. For that sake, by applying a method based on the Laplace transform and the linearization of the Saint-Venant equations, a finite dimensional rational transfer function is obtained for each canal reach. An LPV gain-scheduling controller that relies on H∞ optimization is then designed for local upstream canal control. The scheduling variables are the inlet canal flow and the downstream-reach mean level. The uncertainty bound is computed on the basis of the high frequency error of the frequency response of the model used with respect to the one of the infinite-dimensional model by linearizing the Sain-Venant equations. This approach has the advantage of yielding an LPV controller that relies on a model with specified complexity and to relate model uncertainty to physical canal parameters, allowing operation over an extended envelop of water flow and level equilibria.

In this paper, we consider the problem of robotic motion planning that satisfies some bounded time high level specifications. Although temporal logic can efficiently express high level specifications such as coverage, obstacle avoidance, temporal ordering of tasks etc., it fails to address problems with explicit timing constraints. The inherent limitations of Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) to address problems with explicit timing constraints have been overcome by translating the planning problem from the workspace of the robot to a higher dimensional space called spacetime where the existing LTL semantics and grammar are sufficient to mathematically formulate the bounded time high level specifications. A discrete path will be generated, that will meet the specifications with all timing constraints and, at the same time, it will optimize some cost function. A continuous trajectory satisfying the continuous dynamics of the robot will be generated from the discrete path using proper control laws.

The paper presents a bond graph model-based approach to active fault tolerant control (FTC) that makes use of residuals of analytical redundancy relations (ARRs). The latter ones are computed in order to decide whether a fault has occurred. Given a single fault hypothesis can be adopted, an advantage is that the time for isolating a fault among potential fault candidates that contribute to an ARR by means of parameter estimation may be saved and as long as ARR residuals are within their thresholds no input reconstruction at all is needed. It is shown that ARR residuals can be used for estimation of faults that can be isolated. ARR based input reconstruction is demonstrated by application to a buck-converter driven DC motor as a simple example of a switched power electronic system for which an averaged bond graph model is used. Scilab simulation runs confirm analytical results. If a required input cannot be determined analytically, it can be obtained by numerically solving a differential-algebraic equations (DAE) system.

Within this work, a system for remote powering of small-scale hovering Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is developed, aiming to achieve prolonged-endurance flight times in order to address possible civilian applications with such requirements. To this purpose, the key-concept of a Power-over-Tether system is proposed, with the power bank for the UAV's operation located on the ground, and power transferred via a tethering cable. In order for the UAV to be capable of executing hovering trajectories as freely as possible, a long power cable is wound onto a custom-developed base, which is capable of releasing and retracting it when necessary. The Power-over-Tether system base is developed to operate autonomously, locally sensing when the aerial vehicle requires additional length of free cable to move to its intended goal, or when excessive cable length requires retraction, and performs the respective actions. The complete implementation of the system, both hardware and control-wise is elaborated in detail within the scope of this paper. Additionally, experimental evaluation studies are conducted, demonstrating the potential of the proposed Power-over-Tether system.

We present implementation and experimental results of an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) navigation in a coordinate-free Wireless Sensor and Actuator Network (WSAN) environment. The UGV communicates with the network of sensors and actuators and receives the real-time feedback from the network, which navigates the UGV towards target(s). The control objective is to navigate the UGV towards fixed targets in the network. The Cricket system is used as a platform for the WSAN. The UGV is equipped with an on-board computer and an array of sensor listeners that communicate with the network of actuator beacons. Presented solution and algorithms are distributed where the UGV receives the feedback only from the neighboring sensor and actuator nodes. The results are compared with an optimal navigation path between starting point and the final destination.

This paper presents a strategy for multi-modal trip planning integrating the management of fully electric vehicle range and charging services along the trip. The network graph is modelled as the superposition of layers representing different transportation means and charging infrastructure, putting in evidence the interaction between the transportation and electricity distribution grids. The presence of energy constraints on the network nodes implies to formalize the trip planning problem as a resource constrained shortest path problem, and solve it through an ad-hoc decomposition strategy. The proposed approach is validated through the simulation of realistic test cases, showing its effectiveness and potential in satisfying complex user preferences, mitigating drivers perception about limited vehicle range and availability of charging infrastructure, smoothing the impact of massive fully electric vehicle charging on distribution grids.
