Protocol-Based Tobit Kalman Filter under Integral Measurements and Probabilistic Sensor Failures
This paper is concerned with the Tobit Kalman filtering problem for a class of discrete time-varying systems subject to censored observations, integral measurements and probabilistic sensor failures under the Round-Robin protocol (RRP). The censored observations are characterized by the Tobit observation model, the integral measurements are described as functions of system states over a certain time interval required for data acquisition, and the sensor failures are governed by a set of uncorrelated random variables. The RRP is employed to decide the transmission sequence of sensors in order to alleviate undesirable data collisions. By resorting to the augmentation technique and the orthogonality projection principle, a protocol-based Tobit Kalman filter (TKF) is developed with the coexistence of integral measurements and sensor failures that lead to a couple of augmentation-induced terms. Moreover, the performance of the proposed filter is analyzed through examining the statistical property of the error covariance of the state estimation. Further analysis shows the existence of self-propagating upper and lower bounds on the estimation error covariance. A case study on ballistic roll rate estimation is presented to illustrate the efficacy of the developed filter.10.13039/501100001809-National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Number: 61803074, 61703245, U2030205, 61903065, 61671109, U1830207 and U1830133); 10.13039/501100002858-China Postdoctoral Science Foundation (Grant Number: 2018T110702, 2018M643441, 2017M623005 and 2015M5825); Royal Society of the U.K.; Alexander von Humboldt Foundation of Germany

Distributed Resilient State Estimation for Cyber-Physical Systems Against Bit Errors: A Zonotopic Set-Membership Approach
This paper addresses the distributed resilient state estimation issue for a class of large-scale cyber-physical systems (CPSs) against bit errors. Owing to the reliability of the binary data, a novel binary encoding-decoding scheme is developed to enable digital communication of the CPSs. We consider the situation where the transmitted binary bits may be flipped over noisy communication channels. The primary purpose of this paper is to design a distributed resilient estimation scheme under a bit-flipped detection mechanism to achieve a reliable estimation of the CPSs. First, by means of the Minkowski sum of sets, a novel distributed zonotopic resilient estimation scheme is proposed where the optimal estimator gain is obtained in the minimum F -radius sense. Furthermore, a two-stage bit-flipped detection scheme is developed by taking advantage of 1) the prediction output zonotope and 2) the intersection between the prediction zonotope and the estimation zonotope. Furthermore, in order to improve the algorithm efficiency, a reduction operator is introduced to reduce the order of the zonotope. Finally, the IEEE 30-bus systems are applied to verify theoretical results of the developed distributed resilient estimation algorithm.10.13039/501100001809-National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Number: 62188101, 62173255, U21A2019, 12171124 and 61933007);

Encrypted Finite-Horizon Energy-to-Peak State Estimation for Time-Varying Systems Under Eavesdropping Attacks: Tackling Secrecy Capacity
This paper is concerned with the problem of finite-horizon energy-to-peak state estimation for a class of networked linear time-varying systems. Due to the inherent vulnerability of network-based communication, the measurement signals transmitted over a communication network might be intercepted by potential eavesdroppers. To avoid information leakage, by resorting to an artificial-noise-assisted method, we develop a novel encryption-decryption scheme to ensure that the transmitted signal is composed of the raw measurement and an artificial-noise term. A special evaluation index named secrecy capacity is employed to assess the information security of signal transmissions under the developed encryption-decryption scheme. The purpose of the addressed problem is to design an encryption-decryption scheme and a state estimator such that: 1) the desired secrecy capacity is ensured; and 2) the required finite-horizon performance is achieved. Sufficient conditions are established on the existence of the encryption-decryption mechanism and the finite-horizon state estimator. Finally, simulation results are proposed to show the effectiveness of our proposed encryption-decryption-based state estimation scheme.10.13039/501100001809-National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Number: 62273087,61933007,62273088,U21A2019,62073180)

Empower parameterized generative adversarial networks using a novel particle swarm optimizer: algorithms and applications
Copyright © The Author(s) 2021. In this paper, a novel parameterized generative adversarial network (GAN) is proposed where the parameters are introduced to enhance the performance of image segmentation. The developed algorithm is applied to the image-based crack detection problem on the thermal data obtained through the non-destructive testing process. A new regularization term, which contains three tunable hyperparameters, embedded into the objective function of the GAN in order to improve the contrast ratio of certain areas of the image so as to benefit the crack detection process. To automate the selection of the optimal hyperparameters of the GAN, a new particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is put forward where a neighborhood-based velocity updating strategy is developed for the purpose of thoroughly exploring the problem space. The proposed PSO-based GAN algorithm is shown to 1) work well in detecting cracks on the thermal data generated by the eddy current pulsed thermography technique; and 2) outperforms other conventional GAN algorithms.This research work was funded by Institutional Fund Projects under grant no.

On Resilient Control for Secure Connected Vehicles: A Hybrid Systems Approach
According to the Internet of Things Forecast conducted by Ericsson, connected devices will be around 29 billion by 2022. This technological revolution enables the concept of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) that will transform many applications, including power-grid, transportation, smart buildings, and manufacturing. Manufacturers and institutions are relying on technologies related to CPSs to improve the efficiency and performances of their products and services. However, the higher the number of connected devices, the higher the exposure to cybersecurity threats. In the case of CPSs, successful cyber-attacks can potentially hamper the economy and endanger human lives. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to develop and adopt resilient technologies that can complement the existing security tools to make CPSs more resilient to cyber-attacks.
By exploiting the intrinsically present physical characteristics of CPSs, this dissertation employs dynamical and control systems theory to improve the CPS resiliency to cyber-attacks. In particular, we consider CPSs as Networked Control Systems (NCSs), which are control systems where plant and controller share sensing and actuating information through networks. This dissertation proposes novel design procedures that maximize the resiliency of NCSs to network imperfections (i.e., sampling, packet dropping, and network delays) and denial of service (DoS) attacks.
We model CPSs from a general point of view to generate design procedures that have a vast spectrum of applicability while creating computationally affordable algorithms capable of real-time performances. Indeed, the findings of this research aspire to be easily applied to several CPSs applications, e.g., power grid, transportation systems, and remote surgery. However, this dissertation focuses on applying its theoretical outcomes to connected and automated vehicle (CAV) systems where vehicles are capable of sharing information via a wireless communication network.
In the first part of the dissertation, we propose a set of LMI-based constructive Lyapunov-based tools for the analysis of the resiliency of NCSs, and we propose a design approach that maximizes the resiliency.
In the second part of the thesis, we deal with the design of DOS-resilient control systems for connected vehicle applications. In particular, we focus on the Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC), which is one of the most popular and promising applications involving CAVs
Design and implementation of event-based multi-rate controllers for networked control systems
Tesis por compendio[ES] Con esta tesis se pretende dar solución a algunos de los problemas más habituales que aparecen en los Sistemas de control basados en red (NCS) como son los retardos variables en el tiempo, las pérdidas y el desorden de paquetes, y la restricción de ancho de banda y de recursos computacionales y energéticos de los dispositivos que forman parte del sistema de control. Para ello se ha planteado la integración de técnicas de control multifrecuencial, de control basado en paquetes, de control basado en predictor y de control basado en eventos. Los diseños de control realizados se han simulado utilizando Matlab-Simulink y Truetime, se ha analizado su estabilidad mediante LMIs y QFT, y se han validado experimentalmente en un péndulo invertido, un robot cartesiano 3D y en robots móviles de bajo coste.
El artículo 1 aborda el control basado en eventos, el cual minimiza el ancho de banda consumido en el NCS mediante un control basado en eventos periódicos y presenta un método para obtener sus parámetros óptimos para el sistema específico en que se utilice.
Los artículos 2, 4 y 6 añaden el control basado en paquetes, así como el control multifrecuencia, que aborda problemas de falta de datos por bajo uso del sensor y los retardos, pérdidas y desórdenes de paquetes en la red. También afrontan, mediante tecnicas de predicción basadas en un filtro de Kalman multifrecuencia variable en el tiempo, los problemas de ruido y perturbaciones, así como la observación de los estados completos del sistema. El artículo 7 hace frente a un modelo no lineal que utiliza las anteriores soluciones junto con un filtro de Kalman extendido para presentar otro tipo de estructura para un vehículo autónomo que, gracias a la información futura obtenida mediante estas técnicas, puede realizar de forma remota tareas de alto nivel como es la toma de decisiones y la monitorización de variables.
Los artículos 3 y 5, presentan una forma de obtener y analizar la respuesta en frecuencia de sistemas SISO multifrecuencia y estudian su comportamiento ante ciertas incertidumbres o problemas en la red haciendo uso de procedimientos QFT.[CA] Amb aquesta tesi es pretén donar solució a alguns dels problemes més habituals que apareixen als Sistemes de Control Basats en xarxa (NCS) com son els retards d'accés i transferència variables en el temps, les pèrdues y desordenament de paquets, i la restricció d'ampli de banda així com de recursos computacionals i energètics dels dispositius que foment part del sistema de control. Per tal de resoldre'ls s'ha plantejat la integració de tècniques de control multifreqüencial, de control basat en paquets, de control basat en predictor i de control basat en events. Els dissenys de control realitzats s'han simulat fent ús de Matlab-Simulink i de TrueTime, s'ha analitzat la seua estabilitat mitjançant LMIs i QFT, i s'han validat experimentalment en un pèndul invertit, un robot cartesià 3D i en robots mòbils de baix cost.
L'article 1 aborda el control basat en events, el qual minimitza l'ampli de banda consumit a l'NCS mitjançant un control basat en events periòdics i presenta un mètode per a obtindré els seus paràmetres òptims per al sistema específic en el qual s'utilitza.
Els articles 2, 4 i 6 afegeixen el control basat en paquets, així com el control multifreqüència, que aborda problemes de falta de dades per el baix us del sensor i els retards, pèrdues i desordre de paquets en la xarxa. També afronten, mitjançant tècniques de predicció basades en un filtre de Kalman multifreqüència variable en el temps. Els problemes de soroll i pertorbacions, així com la observació dels estats complets del sistema. L'article 7 fa referència a un model no lineal que utilitza les anteriors solucions junt a un filtre de Kalman estès per a presentar altre tipus d'estructura per a un vehicle autònom que, gracies a la informació futura obtinguda mitjançant aquestes tècniques, pot realitzar de manera remota tasques d'alt nivell com son la presa de decisions i la monitorització de variables.
Els articles 3 y 5 presenten la manera d'obtindre i analitzar la resposta en frequencia de sistemes SISO multifreqüència i estudien el seu comportament front a certes incerteses o problemes en la xarxa fent us de procediments QFT.[EN] This thesis attempts to solve some of the most frequent issues that appear in Networked Control Systems (NCS), such as time-varying delays, packet losses and packet disorders and the bandwidth limitation. Other frequent problems are scarce computational and energy resources of the local system devices. Thus, it is proposed to integrate multirate control, packet-based control, predictor-based control and event-based control techniques. The control designs have been simulated using Matlab-Simulink and Truetime, the stability has been analysed by LMIs and QFT, and the experimental validation has been done on an inverted pendulum, a 3D cartesian robot and in low-cost mobile robots.
Paper 1 addresses event-based control, which minimizes the bandwidth consumed in NCS through a periodic event-triggered control and presents a method to obtain the optimal parameters for the specific system used.
Papers 2, 4 and 6 include packet-based control and multirate control, addressing problems such as network delays, packet dropouts and packet disorders, and the scarce data due to low sensor usage in order to save battery in sensing tasks and transmissions of the sensed data. Also addressed, is how despite the existence of measurement noise and disturbances, time-varying dual-rate Kalman filter based prediction techniques observe the complete state of the system. Paper 7 tackles a non-linear model that uses all the previous solutions together with an extended Kalman filter to present another type of structure for an autonomous vehicle that, due to future information obtained through these techniques, can remotely carry out high level tasks, such as decision making and monitoring of variables.
Papers 3 and 5, present a method for obtaining and analyzing the SISO dual-rate frequency response and using QFT procedures to study its behavior when faced with specific uncertainties or network problems.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad under Grant referenced TEC2012-31506.Alcaina Acosta, JJ.
