The main focus of this paper is to design nonlinear controllers and analyse stability for a miniature unmanned helicopter. Our work is to utilize nonlinear control methodology to command dynamics of unmanned helicopter which has been divided into slower translational dynamics (outer-loop) and faster orientation dynamics (inner-loop), thus exhibiting hierarchical structure. The attitude angles and position which separately belong to the inner-loop and the outer-loop can be independently controlled by backstepping control strategy. Stability analysis of the helicopter system including flapping dynamics has been presented after designing controllers.

It is widely accepted that scheduling plays a key role in enterprise manufacturing systems as it greatly improves the efficiency and competitiveness. The flow-shop scheduling problem is a kind of typical problem which relates to many kinds of practical problems. Since the flow-shop scheduling problems are NP-hard, it is of practical value to obtain satisfying solutions within short CPU time for large-scale cases. Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) is known as an approach which can handle large-scale separable problems. By the LR approach, a complex problem can be separated into several small subproblems which are easier to solve. However, there is a key challenge that the Lagrangian multipliers may converge slowly. In this paper, a novel probability approximate subgradient (PASG) method is developed, where intelligent optimization algorithms are used to obtain proper directions to improve the Lagrangian multipliers. The PASG method can allocate computation time reasonably and get satisfying schedules in limited computation time. As the computation time goes on, the probability of obtaining optimal solution converges to 1. The effectiveness of the PASG method is demonstrated by numerical testing results for large-scale and long-time-horizon problems.

In this paper, output expressions of a periodic signal filtered by two different periodically-varying delay functions are obtained by means of Fourier series decomposition. The percentage power in the harmonics corresponding to the input is analyzed. Next, the identification of a single invariant delay is considered; this is useful in situations where an invariant delay is utilized in the system model in place of a time-varying one which is much more difficult to track. Input signals with harmonic suppression are used and results are compared between the cases with and without output harmonic filtering at the suppressed harmonics of the input. Such filtering is a common pre-processing step when periodic signals are applied to estimate linear dynamics in the presence of nonlinear distortion. The bias introduced by harmonic filtering on the estimated value of the delay is analyzed through Monte Carlo simulations.

Step test method, which is a kind of commonly used industrial process identification method, has the disadvantages of time-consuming and production disruption. For this reason, this paper takes the sensitive tray temperature control system of the s-trioxane concentration column as the research object, and the step test models and experience models are obtained, and the two kinds of model predictive effects are simulated and compared. Finally, a MPC controller based on experience models is designed and put into operation. The actual plant application shows that the MPC controller could effectively improve the stability of the sensitive tray temperature.

The existing parity space-based fault detection approaches for non-uniformly sampled systems are mostly based on the known system models, and residual signals are generated and evaluated to reflect the inconsistency between the expected behavior and the actual mode of operation. For the system with unknown model parameters, system identification method is required to identify model first and then calculate the corresponding parity vector. In this paper, a novel nonuniformly sampled-data-driven approach to fault detection is proposed directly from test data instead of system identification, based on it, to achieve fast residual-generation as well as dimensionality reduction of parity matrix. Firstly, according to the input-output train data, a linear time invariant subspace lifting model is built for non-uniformly sampled system by use of the lifting technology and subspace method. Then, the parity space-based residual generation is designed by introducing instrumental variable to eliminate the unknown disturbances and faults in training set. Meanwhile, a causal residual system with reduced order is obtained according to non-uniqueness of the solutions of parity matrix. Furthermore, a fast synchronization of residual can be realized by inverse lifting computing. A simulation is given to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a switching periodic adaptive control approach is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems with periodic parametric uncertainties whose period and bound are not known. A fully saturated periodic adaptation law is utilized to estimate the unknown parameter vector. A logic switching based algorithm is provided to tune the unknown period and bound of the parameter vector online. By virtue of Lyapunov energy function, asymptotic convergence can be ensured for the tracking error and all the signals in the system is guaranteed bounded. A simulation to a one-link robotic manipulator is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the switching learning control algorithm.

Recently a novel learning algorithm called extreme learning machine (ELM) was proposed for efficiently training single-hidden layer feedforward neural networks (SLFNs). Compared with other traditional gradient-descent-based learning algorithms, ELM has shown promising results because it chooses weights and biases of hidden nodes randomly and obtains the output weights and biases analytically. In most cases, ELM is fast and presents good generalization, but we find that the stability and generalization performance still can be improved. In this paper, we propose a hybrid model which combines the advantage of ELM and the advantage of Bayesian “sum of kernels” model, named Extreme Learning Machine with Multiple Kernels (MK-ELM). This method optimizes the kernel function using a weighted sum of kernel functions by a prior knowledge. Experimental results show that this approach is able to make neural networks more robust and generates better generalization performance for both regression and classification applications.

In GPS positioning, the user position is derived by the pseudo-range measurements and the user-satellite geometric matrix. When the satellite constellation changed, either gaining or losing satellites, it may cause the user position biases. The instantaneous biases in position solution are not desirable in some applications. An algorithm called position bias filter has been proposed to solve the problem. Also, a modified algorithm is designed to reduce the computation burden of original algorithm by a recursive method. In this paper, we propose a closed-form algorithm for eliminating the user position biases. The algorithm remains the low computation in a few satellites change (less than four) of satellite constellation without recursive calculation.
