In the era of exponential growth of data availability, the architecture of systems has a trend toward high dimensionality, and directly exploiting holistic information for state inference is not always computationally affordable. This paper proposes a novel Bayesian filtering algorithm that considers algorithmic computational cost and estimation accuracy for high-dimensional linear systems. The high-dimensional state vector is divided into several blocks to save computation resources by avoiding the calculation of error covariance with immense dimensions. After that, two sequential states are estimated simultaneously by introducing an auxiliary variable in the new probability space, mitigating the performance degradation caused by state segmentation. Moreover, the computational cost and error covariance of the proposed algorithm are analyzed analytically to show its distinct features compared with several existing methods. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed Bayesian filtering can maintain a higher estimation accuracy with reasonable computational cost when applied to high-dimensional linear systems.

This study addresses the problem of global asymptotic stability for uncertain complex cascade systems composed of multiple integrator systems and non-strict feedforward nonlinear systems. To tackle the complexity inherent in such structures, a novel nested saturated control design is proposed that incorporates both constant saturation levels and state-dependent saturation levels. Specifically, a modified differentiable saturation function is proposed to facilitate the saturation reduction analysis of the uncertain complex cascade systems under the presence of mixed saturation levels. In addition, the design of modified differentiable saturation function will help to construct a hierarchical global convergence strategy to improve the robustness of control design scheme. Through calculation of relevant inequalities, time derivative of boundary surface and simple Lyapunov function, saturation reduction analysis and convergence analysis are carried out, and then a set of explicit parameter conditions are provided to ensure global asymptotic stability in the closed-loop systems. Finally, a simplified system of the mechanical model is presented to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Dear Editor, This letter focuses on the fixed-time (FXT) cluster optimization problem of first-order multi-agent systems (FOMASs) in an undirected network, in which the optimization objective is the sum of the objective functions of all clusters. A novel piecewise power-law control protocol with cooperative-competition relations is proposed. Furthermore, a sufficient condition is obtained to ensure that the FOMASs achieve the cluster consensus within an FXT. Then, on the basis of maintaining the cluster consensus, the agents in each cluster converge to the optimal solution of their objective functions in another FXT.

A long history has passed since electromyography (EMG) signals have been explored in human-centered robots for intuitive interaction. However, it still has a gap between scientific research and real-life applications. Previous studies mainly focused on EMG decoding algorithms, leaving a dynamic relationship between the human, robot, and uncertain environment in real-life scenarios seldomly concerned. To fill this gap, this paper presents a comprehensive review of EMG-based techniques in human-robot-environment interaction (HREI) systems. The general processing framework is summarized, and three interaction paradigms, including direct control, sensory feedback, and partial autonomous control, are introduced. EMG-based intention decoding is treated as a module of the proposed paradigms. Five key issues involving precision, stability, user attention, compliance, and environmental awareness in this field are discussed. Several important directions, including EMG decomposition, robust algorithms, HREI dataset, proprioception feedback, reinforcement learning, and embodied intelligence, are proposed to pave the way for future research. To the best of what we know, this is the first time that a review of EMG-based methods in the HREI system is summarized. It provides a novel and broader perspective to improve the practicability of current myoelectric interaction systems, in which factors in human-robot interaction, robot-environment interaction, and state perception by human sensations are considered, which has never been done by previous studies.

The opaque property plays an important role in the operation of a security-critical system, implying that pre-defined secret information of the system is not able to be inferred through partially observing its behavior. This paper addresses the verification of current-state, initial-state, infinite-step, and $K$
