In contrast to the ground,...The reconstruction control of modular self-reconfigurable spacecraft (MSRS) is addressed using an adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) scheme based on time-delay estimation (TDE) technology. In contrast to the ground, the base of the MSRS is floating when assembled in orbit, resulting in a strong dynamic coupling effect. A TED-based ASMC technique with exponential reaching law is designed to achieve high-precision coordinated control between the spacecraft base and the robotic arm. TDE technology is used by the controller to compensate for coupling terms and uncertainties, while ASMC can augment and improve TDE’s robustness. To suppress TDE errors and eliminate chattering, a new adaptive law is created to modify gain parameters online, ensuring quick dynamic response and high tracking accuracy. The Lyapunov approach shows that the tracking errors are uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB). Finally, the on-orbit assembly process of MSRS is simulated to validate the efficacy of the proposed control scheme. The simulation results show that the proposed control method can accurately complete the target module’s on-orbit assembly, with minimal perturbations to the spacecraft’s attitude. Meanwhile, it has a high level of robustness and can effectively eliminate chattering.展开更多

Accurate state-of-health(SOH) estimation is critical for ensuring battery operational performance. Despite numerous data-driven methods reported in existing research for battery SOH estimation, these methods often exhibit inconsistent performance across different application scenarios. To address this issue and overcome the performance limitations of individual data-driven models,integrating multiple models for SOH estimation has received considerable attention. Ensemble learning(EL) typically leverages the strengths of multiple base models to achieve more robust and accurate outputs. However, the lack of a clear review of current research hinders the further development of ensemble methods in SOH estimation. Therefore, this paper comprehensively reviews multi-model ensemble learning methods for battery SOH estimation. First, existing ensemble methods are systematically categorized into 6 classes based on their combination strategies. Different realizations and underlying connections are meticulously analyzed for each category of EL methods, highlighting distinctions, innovations, and typical applications. Subsequently, these ensemble methods are comprehensively compared in terms of base models, combination strategies, and publication trends. Evaluations across 6 dimensions underscore the outstanding performance of stacking-based ensemble methods. Following this, these ensemble methods are further inspected from the perspectives of weighted ensemble and diversity, aiming to inspire potential approaches for enhancing ensemble performance. Moreover, addressing challenges such as base model selection, measuring model robustness and uncertainty, and interpretability of ensemble models in practical applications is emphasized. Finally, future research prospects are outlined, specifically noting that deep learning ensemble is poised to advance ensemble methods for battery SOH estimation. The convergence of advanced machine learning with ensemble learning is anticipated to yield valuable avenues for research. Accelerated research in ensemble learning holds promising prospects for achieving more accurate and reliable battery SOH estimation under real-world conditions.展开更多

文摘Previous multi-view 3D human pose estimation methods neither correlate different human joints in each view nor model learnable correlations between the same joints in different views explicitly,meaning that skeleton structure information is not utilized and multi-view pose information is not completely fused.Moreover,existing graph convolutional operations do not consider the specificity of different joints and different views of pose information when processing skeleton graphs,making the correlation weights between nodes in the graph and their neighborhood nodes shared.Existing Graph Convolutional Networks(GCNs)cannot extract global and deeplevel skeleton structure information and view correlations efficiently.To solve these problems,pre-estimated multiview 2D poses are designed as a multi-view skeleton graph to fuse skeleton priors and view correlations explicitly to process occlusion problem,with the skeleton-edge and symmetry-edge representing the structure correlations between adjacent joints in each viewof skeleton graph and the view-edge representing the view correlations between the same joints in different views.To make graph convolution operation mine elaborate and sufficient skeleton structure information and view correlations,different correlation weights are assigned to different categories of neighborhood nodes and further assigned to each node in the graph.Based on the graph convolution operation proposed above,a Residual Graph Convolution(RGC)module is designed as the basic module to be combined with the simplified Hourglass architecture to construct the Hourglass-GCN as our 3D pose estimation network.Hourglass-GCNwith a symmetrical and concise architecture processes three scales ofmulti-viewskeleton graphs to extract local-to-global scale and shallow-to-deep level skeleton features efficiently.Experimental results on common large 3D pose dataset Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP show that Hourglass-GCN outperforms some excellent methods in 3D pose estimation accuracy.

文摘This paper deals with the problem of H∞ fault estimation for linear time-delay systems in finite frequency domain.First a generalized coordinate change is applied to the original system such that in the new coordinates all the time-delay terms are injected by the system＇s input and output.Then an observer-based H∞ fault estimator with input and output injections is proposed for fault estimation with known frequency range.With the aid of Generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma,sufficient conditions on the existence of the H∞ fault estimator are derived and a solution to the observer gain matrices is obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities.Finally,a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
文摘It is proposed firstly that the original phase and the time-delay are the main factors which affect the measuring resolution of the multitone complex envelope method. The effects of these factors are analysed and checked by the computer simulation. Finally, three possible ways to eliminate these effects are given.

文摘For a class of time-delay discrete-time linear systems with external disturbance and measurement noise, the interval estimation problems of state and measurement noise are investigated in this paper. First, the system state together with the time-delay term and measurement noise is augmented as a new state, and a singular system is then constructed. Subsequently, a kind of decoupling technique is employed to eliminate the effect of external disturbance, and an observer is designed to simultaneously estimate the system state and measurement noise. Based on the estimated state and measurement noise, the interval estimations of system state and measurement noise are obtained by reachability analysis technique. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by a four-tank liquid level system.

文摘The reuse of liquid propellant rocket engines has increased the difficulty of their control and estimation.State and parameter Moving Horizon Estimation(MHE)is an optimization-based strategy that provides the necessary information for model predictive control.Despite the many advantages of MHE,long computation time has limited its applications for system-level models of liquid propellant rocket engines.To address this issue,we propose an asynchronous MHE method called advanced-multi-step MHE with Noise Covariance Estimation(amsMHE-NCE).This method computes the MHE problem asynchronously to obtain the states and parameters and can be applied to multi-threaded computations.In the background,the state and covariance estimation optimization problems are computed using multiple sampling times.In real-time,sensitivity is used to quickly approximate state and parameter estimates.A covariance estimation method is developed using sensitivity to avoid redundant MHE problem calculations in case of sensor degradation during engine reuse.The amsMHE-NCE is validated through three cases based on the space shuttle main engine system-level model,and we demonstrate that it can provide more accurate real-time estimates of states and parameters compared to other commonly used estimation methods.

文摘When estimating the capacity of lithium-ion batteries offline or online,it is essential to extract a health feature(HF)that can effectively characterize capacity degradation under both conventional ideal and complex dynamic operating conditions.However,the extraction of most HFs relies on complete charge-discharge cycle data,making them less adaptable to complex dynamic operating conditions.Existing mechanism HFs,while capable of characterizing capacity degradation from a mechanism perspective,suffer from limitations such as insufficient physical model expressiveness,high dimension,and redundancy of the mechanism HF.These issues increase the complexity of subsequent modeling of the relationship between HFs and capacity,thereby restricting their promotion in engineering practice.To meet this gap,this paper proposes a novel mechanism-based HF.Firstly,a multi-physical fields coupling model is developed to describe the interactions between electrochemical,thermal,and aging behaviors of the battery.Secondly,based on the aging mechanism,the accumulated charge of lithium lost during the formation of the solid electrolyte interphase(SEI)film is extracted as HF to provide a more intuitive representation of capacity degradation.Then,to reduce estimation errors caused by considering only a single aging mechanism,multiple representative regression models are employed to establish the mapping relationship between the mechanism HF and capacity,further enhancing the accuracy of final results.Finally,the proposed method is implemented and validated using real battery data under three different types of operating conditions.Experimental results demonstrate that,compared to other commonly used HFs,the proposed HF exhibits significant competitive advantages in handling incomplete cycle data,unknown operating conditions,and capacity estimation models.The minimum estimation error under ideal conditions is 0.0074,and the minimum estimation error under complex dynamic conditions is 0.0268.
