Abstract: Review of Probability Theory -- Random Variables -- Random Signals (autocorrelation, power spectral density) -- Response of Linear Systems to Random Inputs (continuous, discrete) -- Estimation and Estimator Properties (small sample and large sample properties of estimators, CRLB) -- Least Square Estimation Likelihood (likelihood function, detection) -- Maximum Likelihood Estimation -- Minimum Mean-Square Error Estimation (Kalman Filter, information filter, filter stability) -- Generalizing the Basic Kalman Filter (colored noise, correlated noise, reduced-order estimator, Schmidt Kalman filter sequential computation) -- Prediction and Smoothing -- Nonlinear Filtering (Extended Kalman filter, unscented Kalman filter, ensemble Kalman filter, particle filter) -- The Expectation Maximization Algorithm -- Markov Models.

Abstract: This book provides first-year graduate engineering students and practicing engineers with a solid introduction to random signals and estimation. It includes a statistical background that is often omitted in other textbooks but is essential for a clear understanding of estimators and their properties. The book emphasizes applicability rather than mathematical theory. It includes many examples and exercises to demonstrate and learn the theory that makes extensive use of MATLAB and its toolboxes. Although there are several excellent books on random signals and Kalman filtering, this book fulfills the need for a book that is suitable for a single-semester course that covers both random signals and Kalman filters and is used for a two-semester course for students that need remedial background. For students interested in more advanced studies in the area, the book provides a bridge between typical undergraduate engineering education and more advanced graduate-level courses.

Taking the dynamic modeling, control, and simulation as the mainline, this book first introduces the particularity, control challenges, and applications of the MWIP system. Then, Lagrange function is adopted to model the dynamics of two-dimensional and three-dimensional MWIP systems. Then, based on the special characteristics of the MWIP’s dynamics, a new high-order disturbance observer is designed, and a control strategy is proposed by combining the high-order disturbance observer with a novel design of sliding mode manifold. Furthermore, several methods to overcome the chattering problem of the traditional sliding mode control are presented in detail. Besides, some intelligent algorithms related to the interval type-2 fuzzy logic control are applied to the MWIP system. Finally, the future development of underactuated robot has been prospected. This book is intended for researchers and engineers in robotics and control. It can also be used as supplementary reading for nonlinear systems theory at the graduate level.

Abstract: This book considers the problems of network-based control and optimization. As is known, network-based control has great advantages over traditional control systems because it may lead to easy installation and maintenance, low cost, and so on. Sometimes, network-based control is also necessary in many situations. For example, multi-agents may need to communicate with each other under wireless scenarios. On the other hand, the network may lead to some imperfect factors such as samplings, delays, transmission protocols, and packet losses. These factors may degrade the system performance and even lead to the instability of the control systems. This book aims at providing a modeling framework and analysis approach for the general nonlinear networked control systems based on the hybrid framework. The proposed results deal with very general nonlinear systems and help the readers understand the principle of nonlinear network-based control and optimization.

Abstract: Introduction -- Linear Time Series Modeling -- Deep Learning AI Modeling -- LSTM AI Modeling -- Optimal Control by Time-Series AI Model -- The Reality of Time Series Learning Data Collection -- Practical Work on Time Series AI Modeling.

Abstract: This book describes the practical application of artificial intelligence (AI) methods using time series data in system control. This book consistently discusses the application of machine learning to the analysis and modelling of time series data of physical quantities to be controlled in the field of system control. Since dynamic systems are not stable steady states but changing transient states, the changing transient states depend on the state history before the change. In other words, it is essential to predict the change from the present to the future based on the time history of each variable in the target system, and to manipulate the system to achieve the desired change. In short, time series is the key to the application of AI machine learning to system control. This is the philosophy of this book: "time series data" + "AI machine learning" = "new practical control methods". This book can give my helps to undergradate or graduate students, institute researchers and senior engineers whose scientific background are engineering, mathematics, physics and other natural sciences.

This book studies three typical models of practical nonlinear swarm systems, which represent most of the practical systems and construct the corresponding formation control structure. At the same time, the effects of disturbances, uncertain dynamics, random noise and unknown leader's input are considered and processed to improve the robustness and adaptability. The comprehensive and systematic treatment of practical nonlinear time-varying formation control issues is one of the major features of the book, which is particularly suited for readers who are interested to learn time-varying formation control solutions in nonlinear swarm systems. The book benefits researchers, engineers and graduate students in the fields of formation control, nonlinear control, robust control, etc.

Abstract: Facing future-oriented aerospace applications, large-scale space construction and on-orbit services have rapidly developed. In such emerging and increasingly complex spacecraft maneuvering and control tasks, more precise control accuracy and higher performance guarantees need to be fully considered due to the need for safe close rendezvous movements. This book is dedicated to solving the aerospace system’s performance guaranteed and precise control challenges with the expected transient and strict steady-state constraints. It is designed so that the aerospace closed-loop system can theoretically meet the pre-defined or prescribed performance requirements with the simple parameter selection. Furthermore, the expected performance constraints or indicators of the aerospace system time-domain performance response, such as settling time, overshoot, steady-state error, and state amplitude, will be directly guaranteed in the control design. Moreover, this book systematically proposes a series of spacecraft performance guaranteed control algorithms based on the practical situation of the aerospace system. For individual spacecraft, control algorithms that consider practical problems such as control task requirements, settling time constraints, transient performance normalization, input command constraints, and optimization faced by the on-orbit spacecraft are proposed to achieve the precise control objectives of the system under constraints and various complex situations. For the pre-combination and post-combination control of multiple spacecraft, game algorithms based on performance guarantees are proposed and thoroughly discussed. For spacecraft formations, control algorithms that consider full-state constraints, nonlinear uncertainties, output feedback, and collision avoidance are proposed. This book provides the theoretical basis and simulation experience for scholars and engineers to develop high-performance, high-precision spacecraft control algorithms. Furthermore, it hopes that these will contribute to the development of the world’s aerospace technology.

Abstract: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and the emergence of various new sensors, autonomous driving has grown in popularity in recent years. The implementation of autonomous driving requires new sources of sensory data, such as cameras, radars, and lidars, and the algorithm processing requires a high degree of parallel computing. In this regard, traditional CPUs have insufficient computing power, while DSPs are good at image processing but lack sufficient performance for deep learning. Although GPUs are good at training, they are too “power-hungry,” which can affect vehicle performance. Therefore, this book looks to the future, arguing that custom ASICs are bound to become mainstream. With the goal of ICs design for autonomous driving, this book discusses the theory and engineering practice of designing future-oriented autonomous driving SoC chips. The content is divided into thirteen chapters, the first chapter mainly introduces readers to the current challenges and research directions in autonomous driving. Chapters 2–6 focus on algorithm design for perception and planning control. Chapters 7–10 address the optimization of deep learning models and the design of deep learning chips, while Chapters 11-12 cover automatic driving software architecture design. Chapter 13 discusses the 5G application on autonomous drving. This book is suitable for all undergraduates, graduate students, and engineering technicians who are interested in autonomous driving.

Abstract: This book focuses on distributed event-triggered control of multi-agent systems, in which the event-triggering mechanism is utilized to reduce the communication frequencies in order to compensate for constrained network bandwidths, an aspect that poses significant challenges for distributed control design. The book summarizes the authors’ original, systematic contributions on scalability and robustness, two core issues in distributed event-triggered control. Specifically, the book presents fully distributed adaptive event-triggered control laws; as they rely on neither continuous communications nor global information on the network, these laws are scalable with regard to network size and topology. Moreover, the book provides novel and robust event-triggered algorithms, which can accommodate various frequency-domain and matching uncertainties. The results presented here are applicable to UAV swarms, automobile systems, aerospace systems, vehicle platooning, and more, and will be of considerable interest to graduate students, researchers, and engineers working on network control systems. .
