Hybrid Event-Triggered Control with Stability Analysis
In this paper, a novel hybrid event-triggered control (ETC) method is developed based on the online action-critic technique, which aims at tackling the optimal regulation problem of discrete-time nonlinear systems. In order to ensure the normal execution of the online learning algorithm, a stability criterion condition is created to obtain...

Nash Bargaining Solution-Based Multi-Objective Model Predictive Control for Constrained Interactive Robots
Dear Editor, This letter proposes a novel Nash bargaining solution-based multi-objective model predictive control (MPC) scheme to deal with the interaction force control and the path-following problem of the constrained interactive robot. Considering the elastic interaction force model, a mechanical trade-off always exists between the interaction force and position, which...

Machine Learning-Based Prediction of Depressive Disorders via Various Data Modalities: A Survey
Depression, a pervasive mental health disorder, has substantial impacts on both individuals and society. The conventional approach to predicting depression necessitates substantial collaboration between health care professionals and patients, leaving room for the influence of subjective factors. Consequently, it is imperative to develop a more efficient and accessible prediction methodology...

Prescribed Performance Control of Nonlinear Systems With Unknown Sign-Switching Virtual Control Coefficients
The problem of high-performance tracking control for the lower-triangular systems with unknown sign-switching virtual control coefficients as well as unmatched disturbances is investigated in this paper. Instead of the online estimation algorithm, the sliding mode method and the Nussbaum gain technique, a group of orientation functions are employed to handle...

Embodied Multi-Agent Systems: A Review
Multi-agent systems (MASs) have demonstrated significant achievements in a wide range of tasks, leveraging their capacity for coordination and adaptation within complex environments. Moreover, the enhancement of their intelligent functionalities is crucial for tackling increasingly challenging tasks. This goal resonates with a paradigm shift within the artificial intelligence (AI) community,...

Data-Driven Bipartite Consensus Control for Large Workpieces Rotation of Nonlinear Multi-Robot Systems
In this paper, a novel data-driven bipartite consensus control scheme is proposed for the rotation problem of large workpieces with multi-robot systems (MRSs) under a directed communication topology. The rotation of a large workpiece is described as the MRSs with cooperation and antagonism interaction. By the signed graph theory, it...

Mixed Motivation Driven Social Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Autonomous Driving
Despite great achievement has been made in autonomous driving technologies, autonomous vehicles (AVs) still exhibit limitations in intelligence and lack social coordination, which is primarily attributed to their reliance on single-agent technologies, neglecting inter-AV interactions. Current research on multi-agent autonomous driving (MAAD) predominantly focuses on either distributed individual learning or...

Prescribed Performance Bipartite Consensus Control for MASs Under Data-Driven Strategy
This paper investigates the bipartite consensus control problem for discrete time nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) based on data-driven adaptive method. To begin with, a dynamic linearization strategy is utilized to establish the relationship between bipartite tracking error and control input for MASs. Secondly, the unknown parameter linearly associated with control...
