چکیده

A layered control architecture for executing multi-vehicle team co-ordination algorithms is presented along with the specifications for team behaviour. The control architecture consists of three layers: team control, vehicle supervision and maneuver control. It is shown that the controller implementation is consistent with the system specification on the desired team behaviour. Computer simulations with accurate models of autonomous underwater vehicles illustrate the overall approach in the co-ordinated search for the minimum of a scalar field. The co-ordinated search is based on the simplex optimization algorithm. Copyright # 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Improving the Coordination Efficiency of Limited Communication Multi-AUV Operations using a Multi-Agent Architecture

This research addresses the problem of coordinating multiple autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) operations. An intelligent mission executive has been created that uses multi-agent technology to control and coordinate multiple AUVs in communication deficient environments. By incorporating real time vehicle prediction, blackboard-based hierarchical mission plans, mission optimization and a distr...

Hierarchical Control Strategy of Heat and Power for Zero Energy Buildings including Hybrid Fuel Cell/Photovoltaic Power Sources and Plug-in Electric Vehicle

This paper presents a hierarchical control strategy for heat and electric power control of a building integrating hybrid renewable power sources including photovoltaic, fuel cell and battery energy storage with Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEV) in smart distribution systems. Because of the controllability of fuel cell power, this power sources plays the main role for providing heat and electric p...

A generalized form of the Hermite-Hadamard-Fejer type inequalities involving fractional integral for co-ordinated convex functions

Recently, a general class of the Hermit--Hadamard-Fejer inequality on convex functions is studied in [H. Budak, March 2019, 74:29, textit{Results in Mathematics}]. In this paper, we establish a generalization of Hermit--Hadamard--Fejer inequality for fractional integral based on co-ordinated convex functions.Our results generalize and improve several inequalities obtained in earlier studies.

A Hierarchical Fuzzy Genetic Multi-Agent Architecture for Intelligent Buildings Sensing and Control

In this paper, we describe a new application domain for intelligent autonomous systems – Intelligent Buildings (IB). In doing so we present a novel approach to the implementation of IB based on a hierarchical fuzzy genetic multi embeddedagent architecture comprising a low-level behaviour based reactive layer whose outputs are co-ordinated in a fuzzy way according to deliberative plans. The fuzz...
