Adaptive Memory Event-Triggered Observer-Based Control for Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems Under DoS Attacks
Xianggui Guo, Dongyu Zhang, Jianliang Wang, Choon Ki Ahn
2021, 8(10): 1644-1656. doi: 10.1109/JAS.2021.1004132
Abstract(1423) HTML (484) PDF(167)
Abstract:
This paper investigates the event-triggered security consensus problem for nonlinear multi-agent systems (MASs) under denial-of-service (DoS) attacks over an undirected graph. A novel adaptive memory observer-based anti-disturbance control scheme is presented to improve the observer accuracy by addi...
Vehicle Motion Prediction at Intersections Based on the Turning Intention and Prior Trajectories Model
Ting Zhang, Wenjie Song, Mengyin Fu, Yi Yang, Meiling Wang
2021, 8(10): 1657-1666. doi: 10.1109/JAS.2021.1003952
Abstract(1914) HTML (733) PDF(128)
Abstract:
Intersections are quite important and complex traffic scenarios, where the future motion of surrounding vehicles is an indispensable reference factor for the decision-making or path planning of autonomous vehicles. Considering that the motion trajectory of a vehicle at an intersection partly obeys t...
Command Filtered Finite/Fixed-time Heading Tracking Control of Surface Vehicles
Zhenyu Gao, Ge Guo
2021, 8(10): 1667-1676. doi: 10.1109/JAS.2021.1004135
Abstract(1075) HTML (680) PDF(128)
Abstract:
This paper investigates the heading tracking problem of surface vehicles with unknown model parameters. Based on finite/fixed-time control theories and in the context of command filtered control, two novel adaptive control laws are developed by which the vehicle can track the desired heading within ...
Theory and Experiments on Enclosing Control of Multi-Agent Systems
Yihui Wang, Yanfei Liu, Zhong Wang
2021, 8(10): 1677-1685. doi: 10.1109/JAS.2021.1004138
Abstract(1104) HTML (761) PDF(90)
Abstract:
This paper proposes a control strategy called enclosing control. This strategy can be described as follows: the followers design their control inputs based on the state information of neighbor agents and move to specified positions. The convex hull formed by these followers contains the leaders. We ...
Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning With Automatic Sub-Goal Identification
Chenghao Liu, Fei Zhu, Quan Liu, Yuchen Fu
2021, 8(10): 1686-1696. doi: 10.1109/JAS.2021.1004141
Abstract(1185) HTML (715) PDF(97)
Abstract:
In reinforcement learning an agent may explore ineffectively when dealing with sparse reward tasks where finding a reward point is difficult. To solve the problem, we propose an algorithm called hierarchical deep reinforcement learning with automatic sub-goal identification via computer vision (HADS...
Variational Gridded Graph Convolution Network for Node Classification
Xiaobin Hong, Tong Zhang, Zhen Cui, Jian Yang
2021, 8(10): 1697-1708. doi: 10.1109/JAS.2021.1004201
Abstract(1131) HTML (469) PDF(80)
Abstract:
The existing graph convolution methods usually suffer high computational burdens, large memory requirements, and intractable batch-processing. In this paper, we propose a high-efficient variational gridded graph convolution network (VG-GCN) to encode non-regular graph data, which overcomes all these...
Distributed Order-Up-To Inventory Control in Networked Supply Systems With Delay
Przemysław Ignaciuk
2021, 8(10): 1709-1714. doi: 10.1109/JAS.2021.1004147
Abstract(945) HTML (611) PDF(48)
Abstract:
In this work, the dynamics of networked goods distribution systems subject to the control of a continuous-review order-up-to inventory policy are investigated. In the analytical study, as opposed to the earlier models constrained to the serial and arborescent interconnection structures, an arbitrary...
Reduced-Order Observer-Based Leader-Following Formation Control for Discrete-Time Linear Multi-Agent Systems
Zhongxin Liu, Yangbo Li, Fuyong Wang, Zengqiang Chen
2021, 8(10): 1715-1723. doi: 10.1109/JAS.2020.1003441
Abstract(1277) HTML (621) PDF(135)
Abstract:
Formation control of discrete-time linear multi-agent systems using directed switching topology is considered in this work via a reduced-order observer, in which a formation control protocol is proposed under the assumption that each directed communication topology has a directed spanning tree. By u...
