    Reinforcement Learning for Optimal Control Prof. Derong Liu

    Guangdong University of Technology, China

    Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020 08:30-09:30

    Dongcheng Hall / 东城厅

    Abstract Reinforcement learning (RL) is one of the most important branches of artificial intelligence.

    Researchers have been using RL techniques in modern control theory. Self-learning control methodologies are a good representative of such efforts. RL recently has become a major force in the machine learning fields. On the other hand, adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) has now become popular in control communities. Both RL and ADP have roots in dynamic programming and in many ways they are equivalent. Major breakthroughs of ADPRL for optimal control were achieved around 2006, when iterative ADP approaches were introduced. The optimal control of nonlinear systems requires to solve the nonlinear Bellman equation instead of the Riccati equation as in the linear case. The discrete-time Bellman equation is more difficult to work with than the Riccati equation because it involves solving nonlinear partial difference equations. Though dynamic programming has been a useful computational technique in solving optimal control problems, it is often computationally untenable to run it to obtain the optimal solution, due to the backward numerical process required for its solutions, i.e., the well-known "curse of dimensionality". Self-learning optimal control based on ADPRL provides efficient tools for tackling the following two problems. (1) Nonlinear Bellman equation is solved using iterative ADP approaches which are shown to converge. (2) Neural networks are employed for function approximation in order to obtain forward numerical process. Some new developments in ADPRL for optimal control will be summarized.

    Keynote Address 3 Data and/or Control – Is Control Theory Becoming Obsolete?

    Prof. Frank Allgöwer University of Stuttgart, German

    Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020 11:00-12:00

    Dongcheng Hall / 东城厅

    Abstract While recent years have shown rapid progress of learning-based methods to effectively utilize data for

    control tasks, most existing control theoretic approaches still require knowledge of an accurate system model. It is worth asking if this trend towards data-driven approaches will ultimately lead to an obsolescence of classical systems and control theory. On the other hand, a key feature of control theory has always been its ability to provide rigorous theoretical guarantees – something that the learning community has only recently begun to address. In this talk, we present a novel framework for data-driven control theory, which does not rely on any model knowledge but still allows to give desirable theoretical guarantees. This framework relies on a result from behavioral systems theory, where it was proven that the vector space of all input-output trajectories of a linear time-invariant system is spanned by time-shifts of a single measured trajectory, given that the respective input signal is persistently exciting. We show how this result can be utilized to develop a mathematically sound approach to data-driven system analysis, with the possibility to verify input-output properties (e.g., dissipation inequalities) of unknown systems. Moreover, we propose a novel purely data-driven model predictive control scheme and we present theoretical results on closed-loop stability and robustness. Finally, the presented framework allows us to design state-feedback controllers with performance guarantees, even if the data are affected by noise. Biography

    Data-Driven Model Reduction Prof. Alessandro Astolfi

    Imperial College London, UK University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy

    Sunday, Nov. 22, 2020 8:30-9:30

    VIP23 Hall / VIP23 厅

    Abstract The aim of the talk is to discuss two methods for obtaining reduced order models, for linear and

    nonlinear systems, from data. In the first part of the talk the notion of moment for linear systems is generalized to nonlinear, possibly time-delay, systems. It is shown that this notion provides a powerful tool for the identification of reduced order models from input-output data. It is also shown that the canonical parameterization of the reduced order model as a rank-one update of the "interpolation-point matrix" is not necessary, hence one can prove robustness of data-driven model reduction algorithms against variations in the location of the interpolation points. In the second part of the talk the Loewner framework for model reduction is discussed and it is shown that the introduction of left- and right- Loewner matrices/functions simplifies the construction of reduced order models from data.

    This is joint work with Z. Wang (Southeast University), G. Scarciotti (Imperial College) and J. Simard (Imperial College). Biography

    Distinguished Lecture 2 Distributed Gradient Tracking for Optimization and Learning over Network

    Prof. Keyou You Tsinghua University, China

    Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020 14:00-14:30

    VIP23 Hall / VIP23 厅

    Abstract Many problems of recent interest in control and machine learning can be posed in the framework of

    mathematical optimization. As data gets larger and more distributed, distributed algorithms over networks offer ample opportunities to improve the speed and accuracy of optimization. In this talk, we shall exploit the distributed gradient tracking technique (DGT) to solve large-scale optimization and learning problems, e.g., the fully Asynchronous DGT which is easy to implement in directed networks with distributed datasets and robust to bounded transmission delays, while maintaining a linear convergence rate if local functions are strongly-convex with Lipschitz-continuous gradients. Moreover, we adopt the DGT to design distributed algorithms with explicit convergence rates for the distributed resource allocation and distributed training over networks, respectively. Experiments are included to show their advantages against the-state-of-the-art algorithms. Biography

    Distinguished Lecture 3

    Prediction and Scheduling for Industrial Energy System Prof. Jun Zhao

    Dalian University of Technology, China

    Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020 14:30-15:00

    VIP23 Hall / VIP23 厅

    Abstract Industrial energy resource saving is capable of not only improving the enterprise profits, but also

    carrying out the significant strategy meaning for our country. Given the fixed technical process and equipment, the optimization scheduling of the industrial energy system is the most important approach for such a goal. However, the most industrial energy systems exhibit a very complicated structure, which can hardly establish a mechanism based model to describe such a system, and the existing manual scheduling method makes the decision making process tardily. A class of data-driven predictive scheduling methodology is proposed. In detail, considering the consistent modeling, the quantitative uncertainty description, and the semantic characteristics of the energy data, the short-term prediction model, the prediction interval one and the long-term model are respectively reported, and a rolling optimization technique with the procedures of prediction-scheduling-validation is proposed. The mentioned approaches have been successfully applied to a number of industrial enterprises in our country.

    Distinguished Lecture 4

    Data Driven Brain Neurofiber Tract Identification Prof. Yuanjing Feng

    Zhejiang University of Technology, China

    Saturday, Nov. 21, 2020 15:00-15:30

    VIP23 Hall / VIP23 厅

    Abstract Accurate brain neurofiber tract identification promises to have a high impact in fundamental

    neuroscience and its clinical applications. However, state-of-the-art fiber tracking algorithms are driven by local symmetrically orientation fields estimated from diffusion MRI, representing the local tangent direction to the white matter tract of interest. Conceptually, the principle of inferring connectivity with streamline prorogation from local symmetrically orientation fields can lead to problems as soon as pathways overlap, cross, branch, and have complex geometries. Usually, tractography-based connectome is dominated by lots of false-positive connections. This project will propose an asymmetric tensor stream-flow fiber tracking methods and its application in cranial nerve atlas reconstruction. Firstly, a stream-flow differential equation based on computational fluid mechanics will be presented for describing nerve fiber bundle. The asymmetric fiber geometries is expressed as the distribution of streamline cluster in tensor vector field which extends the streamline prorogation to more general stream-flow way. Then, an data driven automated neurofiber tract identification algorithm will be proposed for connectome-based cranial nerve tractographic atlas based on asymmetric global fiber tracking. Its potential clinical applications in neurosurgical planning and neurodegenerative diseases are presented.

    9:50-10:20 VIP23 Hall / VIP23 厅

    Abstract Generally, an accurate model can describe the operating status of a system more effectively and

    provide a more reliable theoretical basis for the system optimization and control. To distinguish from the traditional invasive modeling, a non-invasive modeling method based on mechanism and data hybrid is proposed for we-energy, a typical energy system. By using this method, non-invasive modeling for the energy system including photovoltaic, wind power, energy storage devices and energy coupling devices can be carried out. Firstly, the meteorological data, energy output and price curve are utilized to analyze and extract the characteristic of we-energy, and then the characteristic database is established. Afterwards, by taking the port energy data of we-energy as the random noise input, the GAN generator is improved and more applicable to we-energy characteristic. The feedback evaluation of GAN discriminator is utilized to guide the generator model, and we-energy model is established by the output of the discriminator. This model can accurately demonstrate the static and dynamic characteristic of the terminal integrated energy unit, laying a foundation for the collaborative optimization of the integrated energy system.

    Dynamic Reference Programming-Based Model Predictive Pattern Control by Dynamic Controlled PCA

    Prof. Xiaoli Luan Jiangnan University, China

    Sunday, Nov. 22, 2020

    10:20-10:50 VIP23 Hall / VIP23 厅

    Abstract A dynamic controlled principal component analysis (DCPCA) algorithm is proposed to extract desirable

    latent variables and construct the pattern space of industrial process from a set of measured variables. The constructed pattern space contains the most variations of process variables caused by free motion, as well as the forced movement subjected to the causality originating from control inputs. Consequently, the pattern can characterize the process running state maximally and comprehensively with the minimum dimensions, and the pattern motion equation can be identified to describe the dynamic behavior of industrial plant. After that, a dynamic reference programming-based MPC is designed to drive pattern to track the optimal operation point with zero steady-state error if the target is reachable, otherwise the pattern is steered to a suboptimal but closest position to the target. This MPC strategy is characterized by parameterized reference inputs and enlarged terminal constraint set derived from null space analysis, which could guarantee the maximum reachable optimization area is lossless when solving the objective function.

    Henan Polytechnic Univ.Henan Polytechnic Univ.

    This paper investigates the data driven model free adaptive control (MFAC) problem for a class of non-affine nonlinear systems with stochastic fading channels. Firstly, the phenomenon of signal fading is regarded as an independent stochastic process occurring at the output side, which has known mathematical expectations. Using an innovative linearization method, the considered non-affine system is converted into a linear model with a time-varying parameter called PPD and the MFAC controller is redesigned by utilizing the faded outputs. The stability of the system is analyzed rigorously and the influence of incomplete signal transmission on system convergence is explored. Finally, a numerical example shows the validity of the presented strategies.

    13:50-14:10 SatA01-2 Data-Driven Stability Margin for MIMO Systems Jinrui Ren Beihang Univ.Quan Quan Beihang Univ.

    The notion of stability margin (SM) plays an important role in control engineering. For multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, the classic SM is no longer applicable. Although some robust SM analysis methods are popular among multivariable systems, they are model-based, or not easy-to-use in engineering sometimes. In this paper, L2 gain margin and L2 time-delay margin are defined for linear MIMO systems, and a corresponding SM analysis method is proposed by utilizing a loop transformation and the small-gain theorem. Most importantly, a data-driven method for measuring the defined SMs is also presented. As a frequency-domain method, this method can be used to obtain the SMs of MIMO systems experimentally on model-free occasions. The proposed SM analysis and measurement method is simple and practical. Simulation and experiment are given to illustrate the effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method.

    A Variable Parameter Model-Free Adaptive Control Algorithm and Its Application in Distillation Tower System Yu Feng Tianjin Univ.Na Dong Tianjin Univ.Yongzhou Li Tianjin Univ.Wenjin Lv Tianjin Univ.

    In order to achieve better control performance of chemical process, model free adaptive control (MFAC) scheme is improved by adding two new parameters L1, L2, furthermore to apply in distillation tower system. Compared with basic MFAC, the number of parameters in this novel method is reduced and variable. Firstly, nonlinear system with time-varying desired output is used to carry out numerical simulation for the sake of verifying the effectiveness of this algorithm. After that, the improved MFAC algorithm is applied to the control of the distillation tower system, and the result fully demonstrates the proposed algorithm has strong stability, fast tracking speed. At last, for many systems with time delay in chemical process, such as distillation tower system, a set of validated control method frameworks is proposed in this paper. It is expected to be universally popularized and applied to the control of chemical process.

    Beijing Academy of Quantum Information Sci.Qi Yuan Beihang Univ.

    The state controllability of time-delay systems is important for a wide range of scientific and industrial processes. However, few researches up to now have been carried out for extensive studies on this problem. This paper develops a method for analyzing the state controllability of linear discrete time-varying time-delay systems. By establishing an augmented state-space model of the original system, only a few parameters are needed to complete the determination of the state controllability, which greatly reduces the amount of calculation. Then, a specific example is presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed analysis method.

    In order to reduce the risk of the human operator in live-power line maintenance while performing the maintenance tasks accurately and efficiently, a virtual constraint force control strategy for robotic teleoperation system is proposed. The virtual constraint force is generated by the virtual spring which is feedback to the operator’s hand by the master. The motion of the operator's hand can be constrained within the desired range near the target point and meanwhile, the human operator can have the sense of touch from the slave. The proposed control strategy is verified by three experiments on live-power line maintenance tasks including clamping porcelain insulator pin, clamping drop-out fuse insurance, and clamping object on overhead wires. The results show that compared to the traditional method, the proposed control strategy can save the task execution time of live-power line maintenance, reduce the position tracking error between the master and the slave and improve the stability of the system.

    In this paper, an observer-based adaptive Multi-dimensional Taylor network (MTN) controller is proposed for strictly feedback nonlinear systems with time-delay and unmeasurable states. MTNs are utilized to approximate the unknown and desired control input

    signals directly instead of the unknown nonlinear functions. Moreover, a linear state observer is designed for estimating the unmeasured states. Based on the backstepping technique, a novel adaptive MTN control strategy with simple structure and good real time property is proposed. The designed controller can guarantee all the signals of the closed-loop system are bounded and the tracking error converges to a small neighborhood of the origin. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    In limestone-gypsum wet flue gas desulfurization process, the pH change process of slurry in absorption tower has the characteristics of high nonlinearity, large lag and various disturbances. According to the process of pH control in wet flue gas desulfurization, a model free adaptive control algorithm based on compact form dynamic linearization (CFDL-MFAC) is designed. Then the simulation is carried out with Matlab based on hammestein model of slurry pH control system. It is turned out that CFDL-MFAC algorithm can effectively use the input and output data of the pH control process to realize the tracking control of slurry pH and obtain high control accuracy, which verifies the effectiveness of the method. Compared with PID control, CFDL-MFAC controller can not only obtain better control effect, but also effectively suppress external disturbance.

    In this article, a model-free-adaptive-control-based (MFAC-based) event-triggered (ET) consensus output tracking problem for multiagent systems (MASs) is investigated. The dynamic models of agents are unknown, and only a subset of agents can acquire the reference trajectory. The consensus tracking algorithm is designed by the real-time input/output data and pseudo-partial-derivative (PPD), which is an important parameter of MFAC approach. An output observer is built to design the centralized ET mechanism. Then, the boundedness analysis that the tracking error is uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB) is given. Finally, a simulation experiment is provided to verify the feasibility of the ET consensus output tracking strategy for MASs.

First, the mathematical model of the chaotic power supply system is summarized. Then aiming for the unknown model of n-order nonlinear system, the controller is designed by the neural network adaptive method. There is no need to know the accurate mathematical model and state information of the controlled object. We estimate the state information and model information of the controlled object through the input and output data of the object first, and use the obtained estimation results to implement the controller, and give the corresponding theoretical analysis.

Univ.

    In this manuscript, a data-driven model free adaptive control (MFAC) method is introduced for a UGI gasifier. During the UGI gasification process, the temperature of crude gas inside the UGI gasifier is very important. However, the accurate multi-input and multi-output mathematical model describing the dynamics of the crude gas temperature cannot be created due to the complexity of the gasification systems. The main feature of MFAC method is that the controller design depends only on the input and the output measurement data of the controlled plant. Specifically, the MFAC controller is designed via a novel dynamic linearization technique with a time varying parameter termed Poseudo-Jacobian Matrix (PGM), which contains the coupling information of each output variable. Further, simulation results show that MFAC has a very reliable tracking ability for the temperature adjustment of the gasification process.

    Overhead cranes, which are typically underactuated, are studied systematically nowadays. While, the model widely used in research is ideal. Thus, the corresponding controllers may react badly under external disturbances, unmodeled dynamics and input constraints. To tackle this issue, this paper develops an adaptive version of anti-sway trajectory tracking controller for overhead cranes. First, as to constrained input, we perform a mapping action from the system input to the hyperbolic tangent function. Then adaptation mechanisms are proposed to adjust the modified inputs and the system uncertainty. Such a controller achieves precise positioning and swing suppression despite input saturation, system uncertainty and external disturbances. The crane system proves to be dissipative with the proposed controller. The experiments accomplished on a laboratory-size bridge crane reveal that the proposed controller asymptotically stabilizes all system states.

    To solve the problem of fault diagnosis of rolling bearing caused by large amount of data and difficulties of processing those data on to bearing set, based on Convolution Neural Network, a new method of data processing is proposed in this paper. With this method, one-dimensional time domain signal can be transformed into two-dimensional images, which is more suitable for Convolutional Neural Network processing. Meanwhile, the traditional machine learning method has the disadvantage of low robustness and low recognition rate with noise interference. Therefore, based on the feature extraction of Convolution Neural Network, in this paper we proposed an improved LeNet-5 Convolution Neural

    Network model, that is, adding a convolution layer and a pooling layer to the classic LeNet-5 model. The hidden layer features are extracted by using the trainable convolution kernel, while the extracted implicit features are reduced by the pooling layer, the Soft max classifier is used for classification and recognition of rolling bearing faults. In this paper we verified the effectiveness of the improved LeNet-5 model for fault diagnosis of rolling bearing by using the rolling bearing data to train the classic LeNet-5 model and the improved model.

    The military requirements of space security defense and space fast response are increasingly urgent. Accurate and effective micro anomaly detection of on-orbit satellites is an important technical way of satellites life cycle health management. Under this military background, the micro anomaly detection of the key components of the satellite is proposed and carried out. In order to solve the problems of low diagnostic accuracy of the traditional Voherra series model in satellite telemetry signal micro anomaly detection, o-Voherra series anomaly detection model for the feature extraction of telemetry data based on the optimized sequence model is proposed. Firstly, the feature of satellite telemetry data is extracted by using the constructed optimized sequence model. Secondly, phase space reconstruction of telemetry data after preprocessing and feature extraction. Finally, the telemetry data micro anomaly detection are realized by the proposed o-Voherra series model. Through the remote sensing data experiment of the key components of the satellite after desensitization, the proposed model can accurately realize the micro anomaly detection of the key components of the satellite.

    Jiangxi Univ. of Finance & EconomicsYifan Li Jiangxi Univ. of Finance & EconomicsShihua Luo Jiangxi Univ. of Finance & Economics

    In industrial process control, data-driven fault detection and isolation methods have developed rapidly due to the easy availability of large amount of data. In fault isolation, principal component analysis (PCA) based contribution plot is a standard tool. The problem of PCA

    based contribution plot is that they are affected by the so called smearing effect. In fact, industrial process variables can be classified into groups according to their correlation or process structure, hence it is straightforward to consider the group-wise fault isolation problem. This paper introduces the sparse group Lasso as a regularization method to improve the fault isolation ability of PCA based contribution plot. The sparse group Lasso term considers both group-wise sparsity and within-group sparsity. Hence more accurate diagnosis can be obtained. In order to solve the optimization problem of sparse group Lasso, an efficient algorithm based on ADMM (Alternating Direction of Method of Multipliers) is proposed. Application study to the Tennessee Eastman (TE) process shows that the proposed method can better isolate faulty variables than competitive methods.

    14:30-14:50 SatA03-4 Feature Extraction of Rolling Bearing Faults Based on VMD and FRFT Lei Jiao Beijing Information Sci. & Tech. Univ.Jie Ma Beijing Information Sci. & Tech. Univ.

    The fault signal of rolling bearing is non-stationary nonlinear signal, and it is difficult to extract the feature of weak fault under strong background noise. This paper uses a new filtering method-Fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT). Compared with the traditional Fourier transform (FFT), it can make the time-frequency characteristics of unstable fault signals better displayed and suppress cross-interference. In this paper, the method of feature extraction of rolling bearings combined with Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) and Fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT) is used. First, the original vibration signal is decomposed by VMD to obtain several intrinsic mode component functions (IMF). The component with the largest correlation coefficient is selected as the optimal component for filtering in the fractional order domain. The 1.5-dimensional envelope spectrum of the filtered signal is analyzed. The frequency value corresponding to the maximum amplitude can be obtained. This frequency value is the fault characteristic frequency of the rolling bearing. The simulation results show that the method can effectively extract the fault characteristic information of the rolling bearing.

    important technologies to implement the health management and predictive maintenance of rotating machinery. To predict precisely the RUL, a three-stage strategy is proposed. Firstly, twenty-four basic characteristics are extracted from vibration signal, which are reconstructed by combining those basic characteristics with complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (BC-CEEMDAN), and then the trend curves are extracted to reduce the fluctuation. Next, the most sensitive features are selected by employing a linear combination of monotonicity and correlation criteria. Finally, by input the selected features into the gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network, we achieve the efficient health indicator with BC-CEEMDAN-GRU. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, experiment on PRONOSTIA bearing datasets is carried out, and the advantage is emphasized by comparison with the six existing methods.

    In this paper, we propose an approach to handle the anomaly detection for the thermal system on ships by the sensor associated network method. A large number of sensors are placed in different positions of the thermal system. These sensors form a topological network which can represent the operation state of the thermal system. There are both linear correlation and nonlinear correlation between the operating parameters reflected by these sensors. The MAS index from MINE is utilized to represent the correlation information between sensors when the thermal system is in dynamic operation condition. Based on the MAS correlation coefficient, the sensor correlation network is constructed to represent the dynamic operation process of thermal system. Using DBSCAN clustering algorithm,

    the large topological network is divided into different subnetworks. When the system is running dynamically, the Manhattan distance between the sub networks can reflect the running state of the system. Based on the distance of sub networks, the similarity of sensor networks with continuous changes is calculated and the similarity correlation sequence is formed. Through the matching between the similarity correlation sequence and the historical experience sequence, we can judge whether the system dynamic condition is abnormal. By the simulation experiment data, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Secondly, we present different discretization formulas and corresponding different discrete-time recurrent neural network (DTRNN) models that have different accuracy for solving the discrete-form time-variant matrix vector equation. Finally, comparative numerical experimental results are conducted to prove the effectiveness of the DTRNN models for solving discrete-form time-variant complex division.

    the processed signals as input, the WNN model is trained to estimate the knee-joint angles in continuous motion. To validate the effectiveness of the WNN model, one able-bodied person sit in a chair and accomplish leg stretching in the experiment, and simultaneously record the sEMG signals from the vastus rectus (VR) and the angles of the knee joint. Then, the estimation results of the WNN model are compared with the RBF neural network and the BP neural network. The experimental results show that the WNN model has the best performance in the knee-joint angles estimation than the other two neural network models. The root mean square (RMS) error of the knee-joint angles is 6.5054◦ and the time is 5.3271 seconds. The proposed method can be applied to rehabilitation robots or assisted exoskeleton.

    Recurrent neural network (RNN), as a branch of artificial intelligence, shows powerful abilities to solve the complicated computational problems. Due to the similarity between solving equations and controlling dynamic systems, RNN-based approaches can also be analysed from the perspectives of control. Multi-linear systems, on the other hand, are a type of tensor equations with considerable complexity due to the special structure of tensors.

    15:15-15:30 SatA04-8 RGBD Object Recognition and Flat Area Analysis Method for Manipulator Grasping Kaijun Wang Zhejiang Univ.Shan Liu Zhejiang Univ.

    Grasping guided by visual recognition and positioning is a practical requirement of discrete automation. This paper proposes a general method of using RGBD image recognition, which can recognize object with only one RGB template photograph of the target object, calculate 3D coordinates and pose, and guide the 6 DOF manipulator to grasp object. SIFT(Scale Invariant Feature Transform) is used to extract feature points of template image and real-time scene image and complete matching. Matched feature points are used as seed points to segment target objects in depth image. This method is fast and requires less prior knowledge. In order to optimize the grasping, this paper uses the Shape Index method to locate the flat area on the object which is most suitable for the suction cup. This method can make the grasping system automatically adapt to various objects and overcome the problems of overlapping and partial occlusion.

    In this paper, a modeling scheme based on Echo State Networks (ESN) is designed and discussed for modeling in Roll-to-Roll (R2R) systems. R2R system involves transport and process of thin, flexible, continuous materials (called webs). An accuracy model is critical to the research of R2R system, such as model-based control and prediction. Existing mechanism modeling methods currently used in R2R systems require complex derivation and do not provide the accuracy performance for changing operating conditions and material properties. The modeling scheme based on ESN utilizes the nonlinear approximation approach where the optimal output connect weights of the network are calculated based on matching of the actual closed-loop R2R printing system. The model established by the proposed method considers the effect of operating conditions and material properties. Experimental data from an industrial printing system is used to corroborate the accuracy of R2R system model can be raised double by the proposed method which compared with mechanism modeling methods.

    This paper focus on the fault diagnosis problem for the compound faults of rotating machine, in which the rolling bearing and the sun gear faults simultaneously occurred are considered as the compound fault. Considering the traditional compound fault diagnosis methods usually utilize the manual fault features extraction, which are mainly dependent on engineering experience, we propose a compound fault diagnosis method named multi-sensor based convolutional neural network (MCNN). For vibration signals of compound faults, the different transmission paths and the positions of the sensors means one part of the embedded single faults may have higher energy. The vibration signals collected from three sensors at different positions can help guarantee the completeness of the characteristics of the compound fault. Then, the multi-sensor signals are combined together and fused by the convolutional operation of the convolutional neural network (CNN) model. The CNN model, which can automatically extract features from the vibration signals and achieve classification, is used for fault extraction and fault recognition. The experiments are presented on the physical platform of power transmission, and the proposed fault diagnosis method can be verified with the satisfied performance.

    In view of the exponential growth of the pipeline inspection data volume, the lack of utilization and analysis of the data, this paper proposes a method named subspace principal component analysis (SPCA) for pipe gallery condition monitoring that integrates

    multi-source heterogeneous data, aiming to improve the intelligent operation and maintenance level of pipe gallerys. First, interconnected distributed heterogeneous data sources are fused into a unified data set based on the JSON-based middleware method. Second, in order to reduce the complexity of condition monitoring and improve the accuracy, data with similar characteristics are assigned to the same subspace. Then, in each subspace, the principal component analysis (PCA) method is used to mine information and extract features. Furthermore, the features of each subspace are fused, and the local outlier factor (LOF) method that does not require data distribution is used to construct the condition monitoring model and analyze the running state. Finally, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are illustrated by testing it on the operation and maintenance data of the pipe gallery and comparing it with the classical methods.

    This paper investigates the finite-time attitude tracking control problem of an autonomous airship with uncertainties and full state constraints. An adaptive finite-time neural backstepping control approach is designed by using integral barrier Lyapunov functionals. Radial basis function neural networks are applied to model the uncertainties. A finite-time convergence differentiator is introduced to estimate the time derivative of virtual control law. The stability analysis shows that all the closed-loop signals of airship system are bounded, the state constraints are not violated, and the convergence of attitude tracking error in small neighborhood of the origin in a finite time can be guaranteed. Simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the control approach.

    The dynamic model of industrial robots is an important part of controllers, which affects the stability and accuracy of industrial robots. In this paper, a dynamic model for 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) industrial robots is established and analyzed.

    31

    kinematic parameters of the robot are obtained. The kinematic model is also verified in a simulation environment. Then, with the kinematic mode, the relationship between the force and acceleration of a single link is determined using Newton’s equation and Euler’s equation respectively. The speed and acceleration of each link are calculated by extrapolating methods. According to the method of interpolation, the force and torque equations of the joints of the industrial robot are acquired. The force and torque equations of each link of the industrial robot are obtained by internal iterations, and the dynamic equations of the industrial robot are finally obtained by sorting them out. In order to verify the derived dynamic model, a dynamic simulation environment is constructed. The positions, velocities, accelerations and driving torques of industrial robot’s joints under normal working conditions are obtained by trajectory planning. Analysis of the derived data shows that the motors of each joint can meet the driving torque of the robot under normal working conditions, and the positions, velocities, accelerations of the robot are able to meet the design requirement.
