The possibility of creating a full-fledged microcontroller based on a type 5578TC034 FPGA and more capacious microcontrollers is shown. The description of the structure of the microcontroller, processor core and periphery is given. The processor instruction system is presented. Ip-modules of peripheral devices and some interfaces have been developed. A variant of creating a control system using the developed microcontroller is proposed. In the future, it is planned to increase the functionality of the synthesized microcontroller by optimizing ip-modules and adding new ones.

Underwater vehicles (UVs) are subjected to various environmental disturbances due to ocean currents, propulsion systems, and un-modeled disturbances. In practice, it is very challenging to design a control system to maintain UVs stayed at the desired static position permanently under these conditions. Therefore, in this study, a nonlinear dynamics and robust positioning control of the over-actuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) under the effects of ocean current and model uncertainties are presented. First, a motion equation of the over-actuated AUV under the effects of ocean current disturbances is established, and a trajectory generation of the over-actuated AUV heading angle is constructed based on the line of sight (LOS) algorithm. Second, a dynamic positioning (DP) control system based on motion control and an allocation control is proposed. For this, motion control of the over-actuated AUV based on the dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) theory is adopted to improve the system robustness under the effects of the ocean current and model uncertainties. In addition, the stability of the system is proved based on Lyapunov criteria. Then, using the generalized forces generated from the motion control module, two different methods for optimal allocation control module: the least square (LS) method and quadratic programming (QP) method are developed to distribute a proper thrust to each thruster of the over-actuated AUV. Simulation studies are conducted to examine the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed DP controller. The results show that the proposed DP controller using the QP algorithm provides higher stability with smaller steady-state error and stronger robustness.

This paper deals with a new state-constrained control (SCC) system of vehicle, which includes a multi-layer controller, in order to ensure the vehicle’s lateral stability and steering performance under complex environment. In this system, a new constraint control strategy with input and state constraints is applied to calculate the steady-state yaw moment. It ensures the vehicle lateral stability by tracking the desired yaw rate value and limiting the allowable range of the side slip. Through the linkage of the three-layer controller, the tire load is optimized and achieve minimal vehicle velocity reduction. The seven-degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) simulation model was established and simulated in MATLAB to evaluate the effect of the proposed controller. Through the analysis of the simulation results, compared with the traditional ESC and integrated control, it not only solves the problem of obvious velocity reduction, but also solves the problem of high cost and high hardware requirements in integrated control. The simulation results show that designed control system has better performance of path tracking and driving state, which is closer to the desired value. Through hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) practical experiments in two typical driving conditions, the effectiveness of the above proposed control system is further verified, which can improve the lateral stability and maneuverability of the vehicle.

The present national Air Traffic Control system is a ground-centralized, man intensive system which through design allows relatively little meaningful pilot participation in decision making. The negative impact of this existing design can be measured in delays, dollars and lives. The FAA's design plans for the future ATC system will result in an even more intensive ground-centralized system with even further reduction of pilot decision making participation. In addition, controllers will also be removed from on-line decision making through anticipated automation of some or all of this critical function. Recent congressional hearings indicate that neither pilots nor controllers are happy or sanguine regarding the FAA's design for the future ATC system.

In the distributed control system, to make sure the running of the system bus is long-term, stable and reliable, we design a new intelligent redundant serial bus as the system bus, and it will be introduced in this article. The new intelligent redundant serial bus (IRSBUS) is able to be configured into a dual redundant synchronous bus or a quadruple redundant asynchronous bus, and its redundancy is hot redundant that means two groups of the four signals are working together. We mainly design a redundant IP core, a redundant protocol and the byte format. The IP core of IRSBUS consists of the following major modules: Intelligent Signal Router, Signal Transceiver, Lines-connecting Status Detector, Synchronous Controller (Master), Synchronous Transponder (Slave), Redundant Results Decider, Interrupt Generator, Dual-port RAMs, Control and Status Registers, Master / Slave Redundant Logical Controller. The redundant protocol and byte format provide an extremely strict timing to synchronize the master-slaves and transmit the information. We show that our design allow to compare the redundant data to arrive at the correct results. It also provides a way to regroup the remaining signal lines into a system bus when one or two of the four signal lines are broken. And then it detects the lines-connection status every 100 milliseconds.

A decentralized control structure is introduced into the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to solve the high maintenance and labor cost problem in actual engineering. Based on this new control system, a decentralized optimization method is presented for sensor fault repair and optimal group control of HVAC equipment. Convergence property of the novel method is theoretically analyzed considering both convex and nonconvex systems with constraints. In this decentralized control system, traditional device is fitted with a control chip such that it becomes a smart device. The smart device can communicate and operate collaboratively with the other devices to accomplish some designated tasks. The effectiveness of the presented method is verified by simulations and hardware tests.

Delivering recommendation services are the trend of the future, so Recommender System varied very vital and widely applied in e-commerce websites to help customers in finding the items they want. A recommender system should be able to provide users with useful information about the items that might be interesting to them. The ability of immediately responding to changes in users preferences is a valuable asset for such systems. In recommender system, a variety of methods have been emerged as the basis for recommender. However, existing recommendation methods have the limitation. To overcome this limitation, we will propose new recommender system by combining the existing techniques. So, we firstly give an overview of recommender system for the future researches.

In order to reduce operation risk and working intensity in mountainous orchard transportation and to realize optimized control for the mountainous orchard electric-drive monorail transportation system, a mountainous orchard electric-drive monorail transporter control system was designed and developed in this study. The system mainly consists of modules as: manual and remote control, positioning, obstacle avoidance, speed measurement, motor control, electric-magnetic break, and the position limit. The driving speed, current consumption, break control, and battery pack running ability experiments were conducted to test the control system. Results indicated that, the transporter’s driving speed is 0.60~0.58 m/s when it is running on the ground with the load weight from 0 to 100kg. This speed is little affected by the load weight. The transporter’s driving speed is 0.45~0.28 m/s when it is climbing a steep hill with an angle of 39°. That speed is critically affected by the load weight. In further improvements, a shift mechanism will be introduced so that adjustable gear ratio could be achieved thus solve the current overload problem in a full load situation.
