Safe Optimal Control Framework For Cooperative Manipulation Of Objects In Human–Robot Teams, Irfan Ganie, Sarangapani Jagannathan
Safe Optimal Control Framework For Cooperative Manipulation Of Objects In Human–Robot Teams, Irfan Ganie, Sarangapani Jagannathan
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This article introduces a distributed deep neural network (NN)-based adaptive control framework for cooperative object manipulation in human–robot teams with unknown agent dynamics by using three distinct multilayer NN observers (MNNOs). The first observer, termed the reference point estimator, enables each robotic agent to estimate the object's reference center using consensus-based learning, even without direct access to global reference trajectories. The second observer, referred to as the human force-to-trajectory estimator, uses human-applied forces to infer the intended position, velocity, and acceleration of the object, enabling real-time estimation of human intent. Together, these two observers allow distributed estimation of human-intended motion. …

This research reports a potential quasi-distributed thermal mapping optical sensing system for extreme temperatures, leveraging femtosecond (fs) laser inscribed single-mode fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and a waveguide within coreless, highly multimode optical fiber, resulting in a single-mode structure. Unlike doped single-mode fibers, coreless fibers composed of silica rods prevent issues associated with dopant migration and ensure data accuracy. The strategic placement of point-by-point FBGs in a cascaded formation on the fs-laser inscribed waveguide facilitates localized multipoint sensing. The long-term stability of the proposed waveguide-assisted FBG system was assessed over 24 hours at elevated temperatures (1000°C), showing no hysteresis during heating …

Online Lifelong Optimal Adaptive Control Of Partially Uncertain Strict Feedback Discrete-Time Systems With Application To Quadrotor Uavs, Maxwell Geiger, Sarangapani Jagannathan
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This article considers the infinite time horizon optimal adaptive tracking control of partially uncertain strict feedback discrete-time (DT) systems with application to quadrotor uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs). First, the strict feedback DT system is transformed into an equivalent affine nonlinear DT system in terms of the tracking error dynamics. The optimal adaptive tracking control problem is solved using an augmented system approach, where a horizon of future bounded reference trajectory points is used in the augmented state, when compared to using a single point. It is assumed that the internal dynamics of the strict feedback system are unknown, but the …

Enhancing Measurement Accuracy: The Impact Of Missing Data On Parameter Estimation In Mass-Spring-Damper Systems, Michkath Omanda Bouraima, Steven Thompson, Maciej J. Zawodniok
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In sensor-driven dynamic systems, missing data can severely degrade parameter estimation accuracy. This article investigates the impact of missing data on phase estimation in a mass-spring-damper system using an information-theoretic framework based on the Cramér-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB). Closed-form CRLB expressions are derived for four scenarios: complete data, missing completely at random (MCAR) deletion, MCAR-based imputation, and missing at random (MAR) missingness via a selection-weighted formulation. These bounds are used as theoretical benchmarks to evaluate classical imputation methods (last observation carried forward (LOCF), linear interpolation) and advanced approaches (Kalman filtering, Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) smoothing, Bayesian inference, and transformer-based imputation) through Monte …

The continuous increase of UAVs, particularly in swarms, creates significant challenges for security and airspace regulation. Traditional RF fingerprinting methods struggle to detect and classify UAV swarms due to overlapping signals and interference. This study introduces RF-AttenNet, a hybrid deep learning model designed to classify mixed UAV signals by analyzing composite RF spectrograms. RF-AttenNet uses dual attention mechanisms, channel and spatial attention to focus on critical spectral features, enabling the model to effectively separate and identify overlapping UAV signals. We have developed custom composite UAV datasets that simulate real-world swarm interference, incorporating both single and mixed UAV classes. RF-AttenNet achieves …
Fixed-Time Consensus Tracking For Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems Under Aperiodically Intermittent Control, Lei Xue, Tong Wu, Wenwen Jia, Donald C. Wunsch
Fixed-Time Consensus Tracking For Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems Under Aperiodically Intermittent Control, Lei Xue, Tong Wu, Wenwen Jia, Donald C. Wunsch
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This article explores the problem of fixed-time consensus tracking (FT-CT) for nonlinear multi-agent systems utilizing the a periodically intermittent control (AIC) strategy. In contrast to existing control algorithms, the proposed algorithm utilizes the AIC strategy instead of the conventional continuous-time control strategy, effectively reducing the consumption of communication resources. Moreover, the problem of intermittent FT-CT is well handled by proposing the average control rate of the AIC strategy. Two theorems based on the cases of directed and undirected graphs are proposed, respectively. Finally, the validity of these results is confirmed through numerical simulations on a general nonlinear system and a …

Resolving Stiffness Trade-Offs In Simultaneous Pressure And Vibration Sensing Using A Corrugated-Tube Fiber-Optic Sensor, Yizheng Chen, Yan Tang, Jie Huang, Qi Zhang, Biyao Shi, Zewei Wu
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This article proposes and experimentally demonstrates a corrugated-tube-based fiber-optic sensor capable of measuring pressure, vibration, or both simultaneously. To address the limited sensitivity of conventional diaphragm-based designs, the sensor incorporates an optimized corrugated tube that balances the conflicting stiffness requirements for pressure and vibration measurements. The corrugated tube, acting as a mechanical transducer, is integrated with an extrinsic fiber-optic Fabry–Perot interferometer (EFPI). The EFPI cavity is formed between a reflective surface at the sealed end of the corrugated tube and the cleaved end face of an optical fiber fixed within a mounting assembly. In this configuration, displacement of the corrugated …
Nash Equilibrium Strategies For Multicluster Pursuit–Evasion Game With Disturbances: A Prescribed-Time Convergence Approach, Lei Xue, Xian Yu, Yongbao Wu, Jian Liu, Changyin Sun, D. C. Wunsch
Nash Equilibrium Strategies For Multicluster Pursuit–Evasion Game With Disturbances: A Prescribed-Time Convergence Approach, Lei Xue, Xian Yu, Yongbao Wu, Jian Liu, Changyin Sun, D. C. Wunsch
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This article investigates the problem of prescribed-time Nash equilibrium (NE) seeking for a multicluster pursuit–evasion game (PEG) subject to external disturbances. To mitigate the impact of disturbances and reach the NE within a user-defined prescribed time, a prescribed-time disturbance observer (PTDO) is devised to estimate and compensate for them. Based on this observation, a novel control algorithm is developed, which facilitates collaboration among multiple pursuers to capture multiple evaders within the prescribed time. It is theoretically demonstrated that the designed algorithm ensures prescribed-time convergence to the NE of the multicluster PEG with disturbances. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to verify …
Deep Learning Based High-Resolution Electromagnetic Inversion Imaging Using Deep Convolutional Double-Module Structure, He Ming Yao, Shiji Song, Lijun Jiang, Michael Ng
Deep Learning Based High-Resolution Electromagnetic Inversion Imaging Using Deep Convolutional Double-Module Structure, He Ming Yao, Shiji Song, Lijun Jiang, Michael Ng
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
In this paper, a novel deep learning (DL) approach has been proposed to realize high-resolution electromagnetic (EM) inversion imaging. The newly proposed approach is based on the deep convolutional double-module structure (DCDMS), consisting of the pixel-interpolating module and the corresponding quality-improving module. While the pixel-interpolating module roughly increases the 'resolution' of the initial input, the following quality-improving module realizes quantitative EM imaging in high resolution. The input of the proposed DCDMS adopts the mixed input scheme, consisting of the received EM scattered field and the initial reconstruction in much low resolution computed from Gauss-Newton method. The output of the proposed …
Event-Based Predefined-Time Synchronization For Complex Networks With Deception Attacks: An Asynchronously Intermittent Strategy, Lei Xue, Jiong Yu, Haoyu Zhou, Yongbao Wu, Jian Liu, Donald C. Wunsch
Event-Based Predefined-Time Synchronization For Complex Networks With Deception Attacks: An Asynchronously Intermittent Strategy, Lei Xue, Jiong Yu, Haoyu Zhou, Yongbao Wu, Jian Liu, Donald C. Wunsch
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This article studies the practical predefined-time synchronization (PPTS) for complex networks (CNs) under deception attacks based on the asynchronously intermittent event-triggered control (AIE-TC). Notably, AIE-TC effectively integrates the advantages of asynchronously intermittent control (AIC) and event-triggered control, where AIC provides each subsystem node with independent control and rest intervals. Besides, all synchronization errors of the CNs converge to an adjustable neighborhood within the predefined time by designing a bounded time-varying function into the controller. Moreover, this article considers that the transmission network is subjected to stochastic deception attacks modeled by a Markov process, which captures the state-driven dynamic transition characteristics …

Electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is attracting great interest as a viable solution to promote urban aerial mobility with promising flexibility as well as emission reductions. However, the low specific energy of the current battery is still a strong constraint on the range and endurance of eVTOL flights, especially considering the significant power demands during the takeoff process. Engineering design optimization permits promising solutions for the minimum takeoff energy consumption but can be computationally intensive due to iteratively evaluating simulation models. Surrogate-based design optimization is efficient but still relies on optimization iterations which prohibit real-time decision-making. To fill …

Experiments in the Pi Convection‐Cloud Chamber conducted by systematically changing the diameter of injected dry aerosol particles while holding the temperature difference constant demonstrate that dry diameter strongly influences the onset of haze‐dominated conditions. Two factors contribute: the system becomes water‐limited, resulting in reduction of supersaturation by growing aerosol particles to the activation diameter; and the activation process becomes kinetically limited. Dry aerosol diameter exerts a strong influence on activation time, with a power‐law exponent of 9/2. Kinetically limited activation occurs when the ratio of the activation and droplet residence times is greater than unity. The findings demonstrate that a …

Equity And Justice In Water Pricing And The Effects On Water Distribution System Management, Brian Barkdoll
Michigan Tech Publications
Equity regarding access to potable water is paramount. Municipal Water Distribution Systems supply potable water to users and are essential to public health. To find the optimal price of water to maximize utility revenue and allow changes to the system components for capital and maintenance expenditures, network modeling was performed for 15 real MDWSs. A new power-law price-usage elasticity curve, entitled the Power Law Elasticity Function (PLEF), was used that allowed for various users, both high- and low-income, and a non-discretionary level of usage. It was found that: (1) the maximum profit was obtained when the price was approximately 0.8 …

Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and copy-number variant (CNV) deletions involving TBX4 have been associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension, ischiocoxopodopatellar syndrome, and lethal lung developmental disorders (LLDDs). Thus far, all large CNV deletions encompassing entire TBX4 have been found to have arisen de novo. Here, we present a three-generation family with three neonate siblings who died within 35-66 days due to histopathologically diagnosed LLDD. Whole-genome sequencing identified an ~108-kb CNV deletion encompassing TBX4 in all three infants. The deletion was also found in their mother with a history of pneumonia and persistent thick upper airway secretions and in the maternal grandfather …
