Technique for solving multiobjective nonlinear programming using differential equations approach

Abstract: This paper deals with multiobjective nonlinear programming problems (MONLP). The purpose of this paper is to present an effective approach for solving (MONLP), which is very effective in finding many local pareto-optimal solution, and the method presented here seems to be very efficient for finding the global efficient solution in the case of a bounded feasible region. We apply the technique of differential equation approach, where the (MONLP) is transformed to a nonlinear autonomous system of differential equations, and the relation between the critical points of differential system and local pareto-optimal solutions of the original optimization problem is proved. Finally, the approach presented in this paper is demonstrated with a numerical simple example.

Collaboration of host system and local sensing node network system in landslide monitoring system management

Abstract: To monitor the landslide at a field without exposing the human staff to the risks of the occurrences, it is very useful to utilize an autonomous system. Our Landslide Monitoring System has been developed into 3 subsystems, each one is put at different location and performs different tasks: Local Sensing Node Network System (LSNNS), Cloud System and Host System (HS). HS and LSNNS need a management collaboration in order to manage the states of the field and the status of LSNNS. In this paper, an approach for managing the LSNNS from HS is introduced.

Concept of a biologically inspired robust behaviour control system

Abstract: In safety-critical and in space applications, high demands are made on the reliability of the involved systems. As autonomy could increase both the efficiency and the reliability of such systems, a reliable autonomous system could be beneficial for several robotic scenarios. In this paper, the concept of a biologically inspired, robust behaviour control system is presented. The system includes components for prediction of actions to be executed and the evaluation of the action consequences. In its design process, particularly the occurence of unexpected situations was taken into account. The paper concludes with a presentation of preliminary simulation results and the evaluation setup that will be used in future tests to demonstrate the model properties.

An optimal control problem with a mixed cost function

Abstract: The main objective of this paper is to find an optimal positional control in feedback form for a linear autonomous system with a mixed cost functional. The method of controllability functions is used. The relationship between this problem and an optimal stabilizability problem is also investigated, and several examples are presented.

Autonomous Surface Vessel with Remote Human on the Loop: System Design for STCW Compliance

Abstract: Autonomous surface vessels comprise complex automated systems with advanced onboard sensors. These help establish situation awareness and perform many of the complex tasks required for safe navigation. However, situations occur that require assistance by a human proxy. If not physically present on board, information digestion and sharing between human and machine become crucial to maintain safe operation. This paper addresses the co-design of on-board systems and a Remote Control Centre (RCC). Using the international regulations on watch-keeping (STCW) as a basis, the paper discuss how an autonomous system is designed to meet the STCW requirements. It is discussed how the autonomous system is made aware of the state of the vessel, its surroundings, on-board defects or navigational challenges and shared with the RCC in a collaborating system perspective.
