This paper aims to introduce a novel approach named IMM-UKF-TFS (Interacting Multiple Model-Unscented Kalman Filter-Two Filter Smoother) to attain positional accuracy in the intelligent navigation of a manoeuvring vehicle. Here, the navigation filter is designed with an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), together with an Interacting Multiple Model algorithm (IMM), which estimates the state variables and handles the noise uncertainty of the manoeuvring vehicle. A model-based estimator named Two Filter Smoothing (TFS) is implemented along with the UKF-based IMM to improve positional accuracy. The performance of the proposed IMM-UKF-TFS method is verified by modelling the vehicle motion into Constant Velocity-Coordinated Turn (CV-CT), Constant Velocity – Constant Acceleration (CV-CA) and Constant Acceleration-Coordinated Turn (CA-CT) models. The simulation results proved that the proposed IMM-UKF-TFS gives better positional accuracy than the existing conventional estimators such as UKF and IMM-UKF.

AbstractAdhesion is one of essences with respect to rubber friction because the magnitude of the friction force is closely related to the magnitude of adhesion on a real contact area. However, the real contact area during sliding depends on the state and history of the contact surface. Therefore, the friction force occasionally exhibits rate-, state-, and pressure dependency. In this study, to rationally describe friction and simulate boundary value problems, a rate-, state-, and pressure-dependent friction model based on the elastoplastic theory was formulated. First, the evolution law for the friction coefficient was prescribed. Next, a nonlinear sliding surface (frictional criterion) was adopted, and several other evolution laws for internal state variables were prescribed. Subsequently, the typical response characteristics of the proposed friction model were demonstrated, and its validity was verified by comparing the obtained results with those of experiments conducted considering the contact surface between a rough rubber hemisphere and smooth acrylic plate.

This article presents an adaptive neural formation control algorithm for underactuated surface vehicles by the model-based event-triggered method. In the algorithm, the leader–follower structure is employed to construct the formation model. Meanwhile, two new coordinate variables are introduced to avoid the possible singularity problem that exists in the polar coordinate system. Furthermore, the event-triggered mechanism is developed by constructing the adaptive model in a concise form. Related state variables and control parameters are required to be updated only at the event-triggered instants. Thus, the communication load between the controller and the actuator could be effectively reduced. Besides, for merits of the radial basis function neural network and the minimal learning parameter techniques, only two adaptive parameters are employed to compensate for the effects of the model uncertainties and the external disturbances. With the Lyapunov theory, all signals in the closed-loop system are proved to be semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to illustrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

AbstractSpatially-indexed repeated detection-nondetection data is widely collected by ecologists interested in estimating parameters associated with species distribution, relative abundance, phenology, and more while accounting for imperfect detection. Recent model development has focused on accounting for false positive error as well, given growing recognition that misclassification is common across many sampling protocols. To date, however, the development of model-based solutions to false positive error has been largely restricted to occupancy models. We describe a general form of the observation confirmation protocol originally described for occupancy estimation that permits investigators to flexibly and intuitively extend several models for detection-nondetection data to account for false positive error. Simulation results demonstrate that estimators for relative abundance and arrival time exhibit relative bias greater than 20% under realistic levels of false positive prevalence (e.g., 5% of detections are false positive). Bias increases as true and false positives occur in more distinct places or times, but can also be sensitive to the values of the state variables of interest, sampling design, and sampling efficiency. Results from an empirical study focusing on patterns of gray fox relative abundance across Wisconsin, USA suggest that false positive error can also distort estimated spatial patterns often used to guide decision-making. The extended estimators described within typically improve performance at any level of confirmation, and when false positive error occurs at random and constitutes less than 10% of all detections, the estimators are essentially unbiased when more than 50 observations can be confirmed as true or false positives. The generalized form of the observation-confirmation protocol is a flexible model-based solution to false positive error useful for researchers collecting data with sampling devices like trail or smartphone cameras, acoustic recorders, or other techniques where classifications can be reviewed post-hoc.
