Adaptive mixing formation control of multiquadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle systems
Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a distributed adaptive mixing control (AMC) design for formation maintenance of systems of multiquadrotor UAVs (q‐UAVs) during commanded path‐tracking maneuvers. The proposed formation control scheme has a two‐level structure. The high level defines the desired trajectories for rigid and persistent formation acquisition and

2014 IEEE International Conference on Automation Science and Engineering (CASE), 2014 This paper presents a hybrid metaheuristic for solving the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). The proposed algorithm involves using the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP) to construct an initial solution, and then using a hybrid Simulated Annealing and Tabu Search (SA-TS) algorithm to further improve the solution. Experimental results

Risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning for control of stochastic linear systems
Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning (RL) control design for stochastic discrete‐time linear systems. Rather than using a safety certifier to myopically intervene with the RL controller, a risk‐informed safe controller is also learned besides the RL controller, and the RL and safe controllers are combined together ...

Autism Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The extreme male brain (EMB) hypothesis posits that autism risk is mediated by high systemizing and low empathizing. This hypothesis has accrued extensive support, but the degree to which it applies in females compared to males, and the relative extent to which autism is associated with empathizing compared to systemizing, is unclear ...

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The necessary environmental transition involves a substantial challenge for micro, small, and medium‐sized enterprises (MSMEs). Moreover, in the Ibero‐American context, it is even more challenging. Our study aims to shed light on the scarce and inconclusive evidence in this regard, analyzing the influence of digitalization, given its inclusion

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the role of managerial ability in driving environmental performance and overall environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings in the context of the European Union sustainability reporting regulations. Using a sample of 7242 firm‐year observations over the period 2015–2023, our results indicate a structural change in ...

Mid‐Infrared Spectroscopy and Machine Learning for Chlorogenic Acid Quantification in Coffee
Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.Chlorogenic acid (CGA) concentration in coffee was predicted using mid‐infrared (MIR) spectroscopy and a machine learning approach. Forty‐four roasting stages (140–220 °C) plus a green coffee control were analyzed. A multilayer perceptron regressor, trained on preprocessed MIR data, outperformed traditional peak analysis, enabling accurate and ...

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract We propose a hierarchical energy management scheme for aggregating Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) for grid flexibility services. To prevent a direct participation of numerous prosumers in the wholesale electricity market, aggregators, as self‐interest agents in our scheme, incentivize prosumers to provide flexibility. We firstly model the
