This paper is concerned with the design and real-time implementation of nonlinear observers via convex optimization techniques. The well-known problem of unmeasurable premises is overcome by employing only known signals for the observer while the difficulty of obtaining the error system is solved by algebraic rearrangements and Taylor series. The resulting error dynamics are exactly rewritten as a tensor-product polytope which enables solving for the observer gains via linear matrix inequalities. Both simulation and real-time examples are provided.

The multidimensional assignment problem (MAP), also known as multi-index assignment problem, is a natural extension of the assignment problem. A MAP deals with the question of how to assign elements from s disjoint sets with n1,…,ns items on each. A MAP with s dimensions is called a sAP. Local search heuristics and Memetic algorithms have been proven to be the most effective techniques to solve MAP. In this work we use an exact technique that outperforms some local searches and Memetic algorithms on several instances of MAP. Then, we design a heuristic that uses repeatedly our exact technique in order to provide high quality solutions for harder types of instances of MAP. We perform an experimental evaluation of our exact technique and of our heuristic and we show its effectiveness against more complex local searches and some Memetic algorithms for MAP.

Metallic elements copper (Cu), indium (In), and gallium (Ga) thin films for solar cell absorber layer were deposited by evaporation technique at ambient temperature and then the whole structure was selenized at various temperature ranging from 450 °C to 550 °C at different durations (30, 45 and 60 min). The effect of selenization on structural, morphological, topographical, and electrical properties of prepared films was studied. We observed a strong dependence of the properties of CIGSe films on the growth mechanism as well as the chemical composition. The results showed that 450 °C and 500 °C of selenization temperature was not sufficient for the inter-diffusion of all elements forming a good CIGSe absorber layer. Instead, the film selenized at 550 °C showed a better result which could be a good absorber layer for highly efficient CIGSe based thin film solar cells.

An algorithm capable of computing the robot position by evaluating measurements of frame to frame intensity differences was extended to be able to detect outliers in the measurements to exclude them from the evaluation to perform the positioning, with the aim of improving its robustness in irregular terrain scenes, such as consisting of flat surfaces with stones on them. The images are taken by a camera firmly attached to the robot, tilted downwards, looking at the planetary surface. A measurement is detected as an outlier only if its intensity difference and linear intensity gradients can not be described by motion compensation. According to the experimental results, this modification reduced the positioning error by a factor of one third in difficult terrain, maintaining its positioning error, which resulted in an average of 1.8%, within a range of 0.15% and 2.5% of distance traveled, similar to those achieved by state of the art algorithms successfully used in robots here on earth and on Mars.

In this paper a proportional integral reduced order observer (PIO) for the synchronization problem of a class of nondifferentially flat chaotic systems is proposed. In order to take advantage of the system characteristics, differential polynomials are used for the observer design. The asymptotic stability proof for the resulting estimation error is given. The effectiveness of the methodology proposed here is exemplified by designing a PIO for a Lorenz attractor and doing the respective numerical simulation. The results obtained by the PIO are contrasted with those acquired by a proportional observer (PO) whose design is based in the same methodology, this in order to show the improvement given by an integral action.

In this work an initial approach and requirements overview is performed in order to promote awareness on the compatibility between CMOS – MEMS sensor devices design and the group of heuristic techniques known as genetic algorithms. As might be known, genetic algorithms (GAs) main application is in the field of multivariable functions optimization and this kind of iterative procedures in their simplest forms may be suitable to serve as a tool in the automation of design of integrated CMOS devices and technologies where the variables and restrictions are known. FGMOS-based devices along with MEMS structures when embedded in a single-chip platform (CMOS – MEMS technology) are expected to be in compliance with a set of design rules for both their mechanical and electrical properties, making easier to code and decode variables for their use in a GA in a discrete always-positive basis. In this approach, parasitic and process-resolution-related issues are neglected and further analysis based in a more detailed modeling and parameter restrictions is encouraged.

In this paper we present the study of the dynamics of a USV (Unmanned Surface Vehicle) under the presence of two simulated environmental perturbations: marine induced waves and currents. The mathematical model of the vehicle is studied and the equations that describes the behavior of environmental perturbations are also described. A numerical simulation of the model considering the effects of this perturbations is carried out in three degrees of freedom and also a strategy of robust control based Sliding Mode Control (SMC) is developed for counteracting the effects of the perturbations over the trajectory of the USV.

This paper presents a MIMO controller design to speed tracking problem for a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The technique used was a feedback control state–space integral. First it is calculated the controllability of system, the plant is linearized and obtained the location of poles and apply the feedback control for stabilization. Finally, the system is augmented to add an integral term to eliminate steady-state error. The efficiency of the controller is tested with the simulation results in PSIM.
