In this paper we study an imitation and transfer learning setting for Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) control, where (i) the system dynamics, noise statistics cost function are unknown expert data is provided (that is, sequences of optimal inputs outputs) to learn LQG controller, (ii) multiple control tasks performed same but with different costs. We show that controller can be learned from a s...

Transfer of patients from the cardiac intensive care unit to the general ward, is one of the main reasons for anxiety. Given that the transfer anxiety may be due to receive at least, inconsistent or do not receive enough information before the patients leaving the intensive care unit, Therefore, this study aimed to determine the effect of information provision on anxiety levels in patients tran...

H∞ control design is generally performed iteratively. At each iteration, the weights constraining the desired closed-loop transfer functions are adjusted until satisfactory performance margins are obtained. The way in which the weights are adjusted is generally heuristic and based solely on past experience and engineering judgement/intuition. It is consequently important to understand and provi...

A new technique for relay based closed loop transfer function estimation is presented. Given a closed loop system and a user selected transfer function, then a relay experiment is used to obtain the frequency corresponding to a selected transfer function magnitude. In this paper the Sensitivity Function is considered. This information can be used to evaluate closed loop properties and/or to red...

an autonomous underwater vehicle (auv) with less noise and vortices as well as efficient power consumption, is pursued in this research by inspiration of shark swimming. design, hydrodynamic analysis, modeling, fabrication, navigation, and control of this novel auv is the main goal of this research. detailed explanation of the test and experiment with a brief overview on fabrication are provide...

Traditionally, Internet service providers provide the same level of service (the so-called "best-effort" service) to all kinds of network traffic. For traditional non-real-time Internet traffic such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP) data, the best-effort service has not been a problem. However, the result of today's tremendous growth of Internet not only involves traffic increasing in volume, but...
