\nAbstract: <\/strong>Place\/transition Petri nets, timed Petri nets (here time expresses the duration of separate operations) are used here in order to model, analyse, evaluate performance, and control discrete-event systems. Typical representatives of discrete-event systems are flexible manufacturing systems, transport systems, communication systems, etc. Hybrid Petri nets, more precisely first-order hybrid Petri nets, are used here in order to model, analyse and control hybrid systems. Typical representatives of hybrid systems are manufacturing systems in general – industrial production systems. The systems in question usually consist of cooperating subsystems (modules, agents). Particular approaches are illustrated on four case studies.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>This article surveys recent developments in the area of mobile robot localization. The focus is on indoor 3-D localization from vision and RGB-D data. We analyze three important aspects of the architecture of localization systems: perception, representation of the obtained data, and estimation of the robot trajectory from the internal representation of the outer environment. We attempt also to identify challenges and open problems in the domain. The analysis is illustrated by extensive references to the selected literature, as this paper was also conceived as a guide for those researchers, who want to enter the fascinating realm of SLAM for the first time.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>In the paper an implementation of an elementary fractional order, integro-di\ufb00erential operator at PLC platform is discussed. The considered element is approximated with the use of discrete CFE approximation. The operator we deal with is a crucial part of fractional order PID controller. Guidelines to PLC implementation with the use of object-oriented approach presented by IEC 61131.3 standard are given also. As an example the implementation at SIEMENS SIMATIC S7 1200 platform is presented. As a reference the analytical response of element was applied, the quality of model was estimated with use of typical MSE cost function. Results of experiments show, that the PLC implementation of the fractional order element is possible to make with the use of object-oriented approach and the accuracy of approximation is determined by its order.<\/p>\n}}}}}

\nAbstract: <\/strong>In the paper an accuracy analysis for non integer order, discrete, state space model of heat transfer process in one dimensional plant is presented. The proposed model is a discrete version of time – continuous, non integer order, state space model proposed previously by Authors. The discretization of integro\/differential operator was done with the use of backward difference method. The accuracy and convergence of the discussed model was considered as a function of model order and memory length necessary to proper estimation of non integer order order operator. Results of experiments show that the proposed, discrete model assures the good performance in the sense of MSE cost function, but its size is relatively high.<\/p>\n}}}}}

The controller is implemented as to work in real-time regime, for the Modular Servo System (Inteco). Based on theoretical results, stability regions are computed using Hermite-Biehler and Pontryagin theorems. Next, based on identification carried out in previous work, simulation results of a tracking performance are presented, and compared with experimental results from the laboratory stand, to verify if any conclusions can be drawn using computer models, concerning real-world control system with fractional-order controller. To compare control performance, IAE and ISE indices are used.<\/p>\n}}}}

\nAbstract: <\/strong>The identification of the internal parameters of the model of real capacitor using Monte Carlo (MC) method is considered. It is based on measurement results of the capacitor impedance or admittance components available for selected frequencies on its terminals. The measured parameters and identified parameters are usually linked by a system of nonlinear relationships and their analytical solution is either very troublesome or even non-existent. As an example, parameters of the five-element equivalent circuit of the real capacitor are identified by two Monte Carlo (MC) methods, single and multi-iterative. The results of simulated measurements of the equivalent impedance components of capacitor at several frequencies are given. From the received distributions of searched parameters, the accuracy of their identification is estimated. Obtained results show that the identification performed by MC multi-iterative method is sufficiently fast and is possible to obtain an acceptable accuracy. Then this MC method is recommended for use in the measurement practice.<\/p>\n}}}}

\nAbstract: <\/strong>The paper presents a problem of pointwise completeness and pointwise degeneracy of selected class of singular linear discrete-time systems. It has been shown that after decomposition of considered system into two independent systems: regular (standard) fractional system and closely singular system (with a nilpotent matrix N) pointwise completeness and pointwise degeneracy conditions can be formulated in reference to standard fractional discrete-time system. Proposed approach is possible if the matrix N = 0. The considerations are illustrated by a numerical example.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Food processing facilities operate under permanent perturbations. Their nature may be different: change of facility input load; external facility perturbations that change within wide limits; interference in communications lines; in-service evolution of internal facility parameters. These factors lead to a shift of optimum regulator settings and, consequently, deterioration in the quality of transients in regulation system. If perturbation uncertainty range is substantial, control system should imply modification of regulator setting, i.e. development of adaptive system. However, there is another approach, in which regulator settings are not changed. It is called a robust control system. Today there are various methods developed for determining a robust regulator, but they have significant drawbacks limiting and slowing their use in industrial environments, e.g. high-order regulator. The synthesis of matrix linear regulator for multivariable systems based on minimizing H\u221e-test has all the advantages of robust regulator and reduces interaction of contours. The paper studies and simulates an optimal robust control system for evaporation plant of sugar factory with a linear array regulator based on LMI-approach.<\/p>\n}}}}}}}}}}

\njerzy.graffstein@ilot.edu.pl<\/em>
\nAbstract: <\/strong>Owing to flight safety, the shape of trajectory of the evasive manoeuvre, performed to avoid a moving obstacle, is of important meaning. In the article the method is proposed for determining the shape of flight trajectory contained in a selected class of complex evasive manoeuvres. In the course of the process the following phases of motion are identified: the collision avoidance phase, the passing by the obstacle phase, the phase of returning to the trajectory pre determined in flight plan. The complex shaped segments of flight trajectory are assigned to these phases. The method capable to identify conditions of the occurrence of collision threat is presented. To define it, selected state variables of the aircraft and obstacle system and relationships linking them up, are used. Numerical flight simulations are completed to cover the aforementioned phases of evasive manoeuvre and selected scenarios of objects motion. Selected results of numerical investigations are presented and discussed<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>The paper is concerned with the problem of automatic parallel parking of a car. Current state of the art in self-driving cars and methods of automatic parking were discussed. For simulation studies the kinematic bicycle model of the vehicle was assumed. A method of solving the problem of automatic parallel parking was proposed. The idea of this method consists in planning of characteristic poses of the vehicle and realization of motion between those poses using pose controller. Results of simulation research were presented and discussed, which confirmed the correctness of the approach. After appropriate modification of the proposed solution in terms of planning of poses, this method can be also used to perform other parking maneuvers.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>In the paper, a modelling of electrohydraulic servo drive is presented. The authors proposed implementation of a dynamic model of proportional valve with the one of most important non linearity, which is square root flow characteristic. Following model is useful when system directly has got information about position of slider in valve. Authors proposed to extend that model to electro-mechanic parts with dedicated control cards. An input voltage of real valve in range \u00b110V was converted to position of slider by use of transfer function with transport delay and dead zone. The result of simulation and comparison with real object were presented. Similarities model with valve for complete model was 94% (in the worst case: for step response with input signal 2V). The best results was achieved for step response of 10V, with similarities (accuracy) 99.42%.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Using fractal organization perspective, this paper provides an unified approach to multimodal routing and timetables synchronization problems imposed by public transport services within city\u2019s grid-like network. The goal is to provide a declarative modelling driven approach enabling assessment of the right match-up of local transportation line schedules to a given passenger flow itineraries. Assuming city\u2019s grid-like clusters resulting in mesh-like street networks the corresponding transportation network composed of a set of same pattern repetitively acting local transportation modes is considered. In that model the passenger travel schedules can be estimated easily while taking into account cyclic behaviour of both: local transportation modes and the whole transportation network. A numerical case is presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach, and the sensitivity of the grid-like structure of transportation network with respect to their spatial features such as heterogeneity and symmetry is also examined<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Constrained scheduling problems are common in everyday life and especially in: distribution, manufacturing, project management, logistics, supply chain management, software engineering, computer networks etc. A large number of integer and binary decision variables representing the allocation of dif-ferent constrained resources to activities\/jobs and constraints on these decision variables are typical elements of the resource-constrained scheduling problems (RCSPs) modeling. Therefore, the models of RCSPs are more demanding, particularly when methods of operations research (OR) are used. By contrast, most resource-constrained scheduling problems can be easily modeled as instances of the constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) and solved using constraint logic programming (CLP) or others methods. Moreover, CLP-based environments enable easy modeling of various types of constraints including logic constraints. In the CLP-based environment the problem definition is separated from the algorithms and methods used to solve the problem. Therefore, a hybrid approach to resource-constrained scheduling problems that combines an OR-based approach for problem solving and a CLP-based approach for problem modeling is proposed. To evaluate the efficiency and flexibility of this ap-proach, illustrative examples of resource-constrained scheduling problems with logic constraints are implemented using hybrid CLP\/MP approach.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>In this paper we tackle the problem of planning a path for a ground vehicle in rough terrain, which is perceived and modelled in an imperfect way. The imperfectness, manifesting itself as unknown areas decreases the efficiency of motion planning, as the unknown terrain has to be treated as non-traversable. We demonstrate that it is possible to employ relatively simple image inpainting algorithms to substitute the missing elevation values in the terrain map, and to embed the terrain dis- continuity filling procedure in an efficient path planner. We show reliable filling-in of discontinuities in various elevation maps, and then demon- strate gains in path planning efficiency due to integration between the discontinuity filling procedure and the path planner.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>In this paper, a vertical velocity controller for multirotor UAVs is proposed. Based on the previous research, authors developed a model of vertical movement which takes into consideration measurement noises, and designed a simulation that allowed tuning of mentioned controller. As a regulation scheme, a classical PI structure was used. The derivative part was neglected because of high amplitude of noise during harsh touchdowns. Tuning of parameters was achieved by PSO optimisation. Experimental results showed that the selected control structure and its parameters fulfill stated requirements. In addition, developed simulation is adequate to the real platform.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Adding on-board manipulation system to flying robot rises a serious problem , as its operation strongly affects the overall stability of the aerial platform. With arms of the manipulation system moving during flight, the distribution of masses changes and extra dynamic reaction forces are generated. Such disturbances are usually not taken into consideration in the standard platform stabilization algorithms. This is why a new algorithm addressing such disturbances is necessary. Manipulators perform various movements, e.g. symmetric or independent. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the induced disturbances, both in qualitative and quantitative aspect. In this paper, the static reactions due to the changes of the system’s configuration during flight are investigated.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Development of methods of state estimation and control for multirotor micro UAVs is often a long and troublesome process. In many cases, various devices that allow to test and evaluate solutions in safe, controllable environment are used. This paper presents a design of custom test bench for unmanned multirotor aerial vehicles. Developed device provides a intermediate step between simulation phase and test flights, where some of basic properties of flight can be evaluated. Thanks to fixing the vehicle on a triaxial gimbal, it is possible to simulate its behaviour during flight scenarios. Set of precise encoders, mounted on every axis, delivers ground truth data about vehicle’s attitude. Solutions that allow to precisely synchronize data from both sources, the test bench and multirotor’s on-board sensors, are presented. Custom PC software provides functionality of storing and presenting gathered data. The whole systems is a low-cost, easy to replicate solution, with simple components manufactured using FDM 3D printing technology. The test bench has been evaluated as helpful tool in development of various aerial platforms. In addition, the system can serve in teaching the basics of automatic control in aerial vehicles.<\/p>\n

The goal of this research is to design reliable tool for verification new control concepts for various types of legged robots. To this end, the new architecture of robot’s configuration scheme is proposed. The new hierarchical structure of the description files allows to re-use mechanical parts of existing robots and rapidly prototype new mechanical systems. We also propose the optimization method which increases the stability of the simulator.

\nAbstract: <\/strong>While exoskeletons for paraplegic users are used nowadays only in laboratory environments for therapy, their use in less orderly environments or for climbing stairs is still troublesome for operators. One of the factors is the high step length variance. In this paper, the analysis of the influence of exoskeleton parameters calibration inaccuracies on the sagittal step length error in regard to the different dimensions and programmed step lengths is performed on CIE~Exoskeleton kinematic model. Results show that the exoskeleton parameters calibration inaccuracies have a significant influence on the step length error. The exoskeleton segments lengths, have to be measured with at least millimeter accuracy, and special care is advised in case of the rigidity of the back segment of the exoskeleton.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Application of Rapid Tooling technology for manufacturing of robotic parts be-came possible due to development of Fused Deposition Modeling method. The intensive progress in this method improvement was an effect of interdisciplinary cooperation of material science, physics and production engineers. FDM opened new horizons for many fields of e.g. industrial and medical applications. Produc-tion of customized demanding robotic parts requires effective method and reliable materials. The article presents results of estimation of strenght for the robotics part produced using FDM technology. Selection of prototypes of the research components \u2013 the grab\u2019s arm and jaw \u2013 arose from a potential use of FDM technology in the pro-duction of these types of components. The arm and the grab are situated at the end of the kinematic chain of the robot\u2019s manipulator. Thus, they should be light so that any additional load is put on the manipulator\u2019s motors. This has a direct impact on the manipulator\u2019s maximum working load. These types of components, apart from the least possible weight, should have relatively high resistance due to the fact that the robot can grab and lift objects up to 15 kg. The third specification of such objects is their non-standard shape. The arm and the grab must be suita-ble for carrying out different objects and therefore their non-standard dimensions and shapes make their mass or even ordinary production in standard technologies (for example machining) impossible.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Soft robotics is young and dynamically evolving field of scientific research. Soft robots are difficult to control and much more complex for modeling than traditional robots. They are, however, gaining more and more researchers’ interest due to their high potential. Soft robot body is made of flexible materials and it contains no rigid or discrete joints, its movement is generated by smooth and continuous deformation of the body. The softness of the body enables wide range of possible robot configurations which, on the other hand, are difficult to measure or predict. There were many shape detection approaches proposed so far, but most of them provide only discrete manipulator points position. Such a solution is not sufficient for some applications, since the manipulator body configuration in between the measured points is uncertain. In this paper Authors propose algorithm for continuous detection of the flexible manipulator shape. The algorithm is based on depth image provided by sensor such as Kinect. The depth image is processed in steps: detection of the manipulator central axis, the axis 3D shape reconstruction and orientation approximation for each point that lies on it. Numerical representation of the manipulator surface is also generated. The data obtained can be used for manipulator internal state correction including its input values and external disturbances.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>This paper proposes a computationally inexpensive algorithm that uses player data to optimize NPC pathfinding in a competitive, multiplayer environment. Statistics gathered during matches are subjected to pattern analysis and used to modify edge values of the map graph. Utilizing data describing player habits enhances the AI’s odds against the player by letting it better adapt to the situation. Combining the data concerning individual players results in the possibility to react to multiple human opponents at once, maintaining the ability to adapt even after a large number of matches. In order to further improve control over the agent, two novel variables are introduced, increasing the ability to adapt to behavior that is unique in a particular match and giving more control over the risk the agent is willing to take. The findings of the hereby paper can be applied to any pathfinding algorithm that works with directed graphs.<\/p>\n

The calculation methods are based on an uncertainty propagation and a propagation of distributions. The measure of uncertainty associated with the scalar measurand is a coverage interval, but the measure of uncertainty associated with the vector measurand is a coverage region. The coverage interval is a special case of the coverage region, when the scalar output quantity is represented by a univariate measurement function. The coverage region represents the uncertainty of vector output quantity defined by multivariate measurement model.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Accuracy of measurements with scanning electron microscope (SEM) depends on the environment conditions, noises in nanometer-ranges (caused by non-ideal surface of measures), non-ideal SEM design, influence of external factors (vibration, acoustic noise, magnetic fields, etc.). To reduce the influence of these variables, the calibration procedure, with the use of silicon measures to reproduce dimensions is performed preferably. The model of measure real image (which is used for calibration) can be formalized as the convolution of the level of secondary electron emission and the distribution of electrons in the crossover of the electron probe. Based on the developed model, the general approach to SEM calibration is formulated and proved. The step-by-step removal of non-parametric and parametric uncertainty of scale factor and electron probe equivalent diameter is proposed. As the first step, the approximation of individual cuts on the measured object image, which correspond to the same cuts of measure relief with further averaging and estimating the metrological parameters and their error distributions, is performed. In the second step (of optimal estimation), the vector containing metrological characteristics using Bayesian criterion and the theory of optimal estimations is find. Proposed approach can significantly increase SEM accuracy and performance<\/p>\n}}}}}

\nAbstract: <\/strong>The non-standard method for evaluating of the average and standard deviation of the symmetrically non-Gaussian-distributed data of sample with a priori partial description (unknown PDF) is proposed. This method of statistical estimation is based on the apparatus of stochastic polynomials and uses the higher-order statistics (moment & cumulant description) of random variables. The analytical expressions for finding estimates for the degree of the polynomial S = 3 and their accuracy analyzes are given. It is shown that the uncertainty estimates received for polynomial are generally less than the uncertainty estimates obtained based on the mean (arithmetic average). Reduction factor, which depends on the MSE values of higher order cumulant coefficients, characterizes the degree of the sampling distribution differences from the Gaussian model. The results of statistical modeling, based on the Monte Carlo method, confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed approach are presented.<\/p>\n}}}}

\nAbstract: <\/strong>High information richness of satellite images is used effectively, only if they are processed promptly. Analysis of recent research shows that existing hardware and software allows only partial automation of object recognition in space photographs. Automation is reduced to visualization of images and measurement of their parameters. Further processing requires parameters of probability density function of object features recognition. To solve certain problems in geological, hydrological, forestry and other types of decryption, parameters of this distribution are estimated according to experimental data. However, this approach is not suitable for recognition of single compact surface objects. Therefore, reference images formed upon three-dimensional models are suggested to determine unknown parameters of probability distribution function. Method of allowable transformations is applied to determine initial conditions of reference images and take their recognition feature distributive law for a distributive law of recognition features of single compact surface objects.<\/p>\n}}}}}}

\nAbstract: <\/strong>In this paper the classic momentum algorithm for stochastic optimization is considered. A method is introduced that adjusts coefficients for this algorithm during its operation. The method does not depend on any preliminary knowledge of the optimization problem. In the experimental study, the method is applied to on-line learning in deep auto-encoders, and outperforms manually tuned coefficients. The method makes on-line learning a~fully parameter-free process and broadens the area of potential application of this technology.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Using WiFi signals for indoor localization is the main localization subsystem of existing personal indoor localization systems operating on mobile devices. The WiFi fingerprinting is also used for mobile robots as WiFi signals are usually available indoors and provide rough initial estimate or can be used in cooperation with other positioning systems. Currently, the best systems rely on manual data analysis, time-consuming parameter tuning and filtering to achieve a reliable and accurate localization system. In our work, we propose to use deep neural networks to significantly lower the work-force burden of careful system creation while still achieving satisfactory results. Assuming state-of-the-art hierarchical approach, we employ the DNN system for building\/floor classification. We show that stacked autoencoders allow to efficiently reduce feature space in order to achieve a robust and precise system. Proposed architecture is verified on publicly available UJIIndoorLoc dataset and the results are compared with other solutions.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Personal indoor localization is usually accomplished by fusing information from various sensors. A common choice is to use the WiFi adapter that provides information about Access Points that can be found in the vicinity. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art approaches to WiFi-based localization often employ very dense maps of the WiFi signal distribution, and require a time-consuming process of parameter selection. On the other hand, camera images are commonly used for visual place recognition, detecting whenever the user observes a scene similar to the one already recorded in a database. Visual place recognition algorithms can work with sparse databases of recorded scenes and are in general simple to parametrize. Therefore, we propose a WiFi-based global localization method employing the structure of the well-known FAB-MAP visual place recognition algorithm. Similarly to FAB-MAP our method uses Chow-Liu trees to estimate a joint probability distribution of re-observation of a place given a set of features extracted at places visited so far. However, we are the first who apply this idea to recorded WiFi scans instead of visual words. The method is evaluated on the UJIIndoorLoc dataset used in EvAAL competition, allowing fair comparison with other solutions.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>This paper presents a review of segmentation methods of basic shapes represented by polygonal meshes. For a fair algorithms comparison, common training data was used. In this work, 11 methods of 3D Mesh segmentation were tested using four different measures of segments similarity. Namely, Cut Discrepancy, Hamming Distance, Rand Index, Consistency Error were used. All measures mentioned above were characterised in the paper. The results of the comparisons provide means of understanding strengths and weaknesses of the tested algorithms and provide the foundation for the further developments of 3D Objects segmentation methods.<\/p>\n

\nAbstract: <\/strong>Fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) is a soft computing technique for modeling decision support systems. Construction of the FCM model is based on the selection of concepts important for the analyzed problem and determining significant connections between them. Fuzzy cognitive map can be initialized based on expert knowledge or automatic constructed from data with the use of supervised or evolutionary learning algorithm. FCM models learned from data are much denser than those created by experts. This paper proposes a new evolutionary approach for fuzzy cognitive maps learning based on system performance indicators. The learning process has been carried out with the use of Elite Genetic Algorithm and Individually Directional Evolutionary Algorithm. The developed approach allows to receive FCM model more similar to the reference system than standard methods for fuzzy cognitive maps learning.<\/p>\n}}}}}}

\nAbstract: <\/strong>The paper focuses on the problem of learning saccades enabling visual object search. The developed system combines reinforcement learning with a neural network for learning to predict the possible outcomes of its actions. We validated the solution in three types of environment consisting of (pseudo)-randomly generated matrices of digits. The experimental verification is followed by the discussion regarding elements required by systems mimicking the fovea movement and possible further research directions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
