There is, I think, something ethereal about i —the square root of minus one. I remember first hearing about it at school. It seemed an odd beast at that time—an intruder hovering on the edge of reality.

Usually familiarity dulls this sense of the bizarre, but in the case of i it was the reverse: over the years the sense of its surreal nature intensified. It seemed that it was impossible to write mathematics that described the real world in …

I and i

We explore in this chapter questions of existence and uniqueness for solutions to stochastic differential equations and offer a study of their properties. This endeavor is really a study of diffusion processes. Loosely speaking, the term diffusion is attributed to a Markov process which has continuous sample paths and can be characterized in terms of its infinitesimal generator.

Target tracking algorithms for multi-UAVs formation cooperative detection*

Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) have caught people’s attention in recent years, not only from an academic or developmental viewpoint but also because of the wide range of applications that these vehicles may entail, such as intelligent mobility and logistics, as well as for industrial purposes, among others. The open literature contains a variety of works related to the subject. They employ a diversity of techniques ranging from probabilistic to ones based on Artificial Intelligence. The increase in computing capacity, well known to many, has opened plentiful opportunities for the algorithmic processing needed by these applications, making way for the development of autonomous navigation, in many cases with astounding results. The following paper presents a low-cost but high-performance minimal sensor open architecture implemented in a modular vehicle. It was developed in a short period of time, surpassing many of the currently available solutions found in the literature. Diverse experiments were carried out in the controlled and circumscribed environment of an autonomous circuit that demonstrates the efficiency of the applicability of the developed solution.

End-to-End Automated Guided Modular Vehicle

New results have shown good performance in comfort or road holding of on/off control strategies for automotive semi-active suspension systems. Even tough, there are not optimal solutions for both goals simultaneously. A Frequency Estimation Based (FEB) controller that exploits the full damping variation of an Magneto-Rheological (MR) damper is proposed. This controller adapts its output according to several frequency bandwidths. A comparison with three commercial controllers is included based on a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) approach. The FEB controller outperforms the benchmarks control strategies by 11.2 % in comfort. For road holding all strategies are similar; however, FEB controller works better for both goal simultaneously.
