The paper deals with the problem of a neural network-based robust state and actuator fault estimator design for non-linear discrete-time systems. It starts from a review of recent developments in the area of robust estimators and observers for non-linear discrete-time systems and proposes less restrictive procedure for designing a neural network-based H observer. The proposed approach guaranties a predefined disturbance attenuation level and convergence of the observer, as well as unknown input decoupling and state and actuator fault estimation. The main advantage of the design procedure is its simplicity. The paper presents an observer design procedure that is reduced to solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. The final part of the paper presents an illustrative example concerning an application of the proposed approach to the multi-tank system benchmark.

This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition for the reachability of discrete-time Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy systems that is easy to apply, such that it constitutes a practical test. The proposed procedure is based on checking if all the principal minors associated to an appropriate matrix are positive. If this condition holds, then the rank of the reachability matrix associated to the Takagi–Sugeno fuzzy system is full for any possible sequence of premise variables, and thus the system is completely state reachable. On the other hand, if the principal minors are not positive, the property of the matrix being a block P one with respect to a particular partition of a set of integers is studied in order to conclude about the reachability of the Takagi–Sugeno system. Examples obtained using an inverted pendulum are used to show that it is easy to check this condition, such that the reachability analysis can be performed efficiently using the proposed approach.

Authors review the recent development in the area of robust observers for non-linear discrete-time systems and propose less restrictive procedure for design of the \({\mathcal {H}_\infty }\) observer. The approach guaranties simultaneously the unknown input decoupling and the fault estimation. The paper presents an unknown input observer design that reduces to a set of linear matrix inequalities.

This paper is based on a current research project and describes methods which aim to contribute to the estimation of the energy consumption in the production of goods. Today, the energy a product requires during its operation is the object of many activities in research and development. However, the energy necessary for the production of goods is very often not analyzed in comparable depth. The energy consumption in production and disposal is determined very early in the product development process by designers and engineers, for example, through selection of raw materials, explicit and implicit requirements concerning the manufacturing and assembly processes or through decisions concerning the product architecture. Today, developers and engineers have at their disposal manifold design and simulation tools, which can help to predict the energy consumption during operation relatively accurately. In contrast, tools with the objective to predict the energy consumption in production and disposal are not available apart from the first material databases, such as Eco Materials Adviser in Autodesk.Calculations of the energy consumption in the production can be based on certain volumes and/or the weights of the components or of certain sections of the components. For example, the milling volume for milling operations can be used to determine the energy necessary for this milling operation. Research in production technology can these days provide the necessary tables and equations to determine this energy, if only the milling volume and the milling operations are defined accurately enough. The geometry is developed today almost exclusively in three-dimensional CAD systems. In such systems, the volumes and weights of all components are available today; therefore, the extension is very promising to couple future systems with CAD systems

The paper deals with the problem of robust fault-tolerant model predictive control for non-linear discrete-time systems described by the Linear Parameter-Varying model. The proposed approach is based on a multi-stage stage procedure. Robust controller is designed without taking into account the input constraints related with the actuator saturation and deals with previously estimated faults. Thus, to check the compensation feasibility, employed robust invariant set takes into account the input constraints. If the current state does not belong to the robust invariant set, then a predictive control is performed in order to enhance the invariant set. This appealing phenomenon makes it possible to enlarge the domain of attraction, which makes the proposed approach an efficient solution for the fault-tolerant control. The final part of the paper shows an illustrative example for the variable-speed variable-pitch wind turbines.

The main contribution of the paper was to propose a robust predictive fault-tolerant control scheme for a class of non-linear discrete-time systems that can be described with the LPV models using neural networks. Indeed, the contribution can be divided into a few important points: extension of the efficient predictive control to the robust case with exogenous external disturbances acting on the system, development of robust fault estimation and compensation scheme, and an integration of the developed schemes within a unified robust predictive fault-tolerant control framework. The proposed approach was applied to the benchmark example of the multi-tank system. The achieved results show the performance of the high performance of the proposed approach. In spite of the incontestable appeal of the proposed approach there are still some points, which may further improve its effectiveness. Indeed, in the proposed approach it is assumed the the state is available and, hence a natural approach is to relax this assumption by the introduction of a suitable state estimation strategy.

An issue of prototyping Systems of Concurrent Cyclic Processes (SCCP), in which a number of concurrently running processes compete to access to a set of resources is considered. The main outcome of this paper is an automated procedure of performance evaluation for such systems with desired values of a wide range of system functional characteristics, such as a schedule of processes flows and the system period. This stage is realised by a procedure of automatic building of an analytical model of SCCP, which is based on the (max, +) algebra formalism. In most cases the (max, +) algebra is used to model of discrete-event systems, while the synchronization is based on rendezvous protocol. However, in this paper - modeling of the systems is based on mutual exclusion protocol, moreover buffers are included. As an illustrative example example RAFI Battery Assembly System was given in this paper.

The paper deals with the problem of robust predictive fault-tolerant control for non-linear discrete-time systems. The proposed approach is based on a triple stage procedure, i.e. its starts from fault estimation, the fault is compensated with a robust controller. Finally, if the fault compensation does not provide satisfactory, which means that the current state does not belong to the robust invariant set, then a suitable predictive control actions are performed in order to enhance the invariant set. This appealing phenomenon makes it possible to enlarge the domain of attraction, which makes the proposed approach an efficient solution. The final part of the paper shows how to extend the proposed approach to the non-linear systems that can be described with the Takagi-Sugeno models.

Prototyping Systems of Concurrent Cyclic Processes (SCCP), in which a number of simultaneously running processes compete to access to a set of resources, in an automated way is the main thread of this paper. Procedure of performance evaluation for such systems with desired values of a wide range of system functional characteristics, such as a schedule of processes flows and the system period, especially with multiple executions of single process cycles within single system cycle will be presented. This stage is realised by a procedure of automatic building of an analytical model of SCCP, which is based on the (max, +) algebra formalism. In most cases the (max, +) algebra is used to model of discrete-event systems, while the synchronization is based on randez-vous protocol. However, in this paper - modeling of the systems is based on mutual exclusion protocol, moreover buffers are included. Moreover the algorithm of determining of the system period and schedule of workflow - when there is no direct relation between eigenvalue of system matrix and system period - will be presented.
