A novel motion control approach for tethered wheeled mobile robot on extreme terrain by Xiaotao Wang, Xingyu Wang, Jiayou Zhang

“…Since the model of the tethered mobile robot can be formulated as a cascade of kinematics and dynamics, a novel backstepping motion control approach is proposed in this paper, in which the kinematic and dynamic controllers are designed independently in a recursive way. In the proposed approach, the optimal distribution of the tether tension and the torque to drive the left and right wheels of the tethered robot is obtained based on the minimization of the system power consumption when the robot traveling on the extreme terrains. …”

Routing optimization method based on GPCR for vehicular Ad Hoc network by Zhiru GU, Min LI, Yonghong LONG, Xiaohua SHU, Qing RONG

“…To improve the performance in sparse networks,local optimum,and routing loop in the greedy perimeter coordinator routing (GPCR) protocol,the weighted-GPCR (W-GPCR) protocol was proposed.The relationship between vehicle node routing and other parameters such as the Euclidean distance between node pairs,moving direction and density was profoundly analyzed,the composite parameter weighted model was established and the calculation method was designed for the existing routing problems,the weighted parameter ratio was selected adaptively in different scenarios,so as to obtain the optimal next-hop relay node.In order to verify the performance of the W-GPCR method,the proposed method was compared with the existing methods such as the traditional geographic perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) protocol,GPCR and so on,and the results show that the proposed method is superior to the package delivery ratio,end-to-end delay,and average hop count.…”

Optimal strategy selection approach of moving target defense based on Markov time game by Jinglei TAN, Hengwei ZHANG, Hongqi ZHANG, Hui JIN, Cheng LEI

“…For the problem that the existed game model was challenging to model the dynamic continuous characteristics of network attack and defense confrontation effectively,a method based on Markov time game was proposed to select the optimal strategy for moving target defense.Based on the analysis of the attack and defense confrontation process of moving targets,the set of moving target attack and defense strategies was constructed.The dynamics of the single-stage moving target defense process was described by time game.The randomness of multi-stage moving target defense state transformation was described by Markov decision process.At the same time,by abstracting the use of resource vulnerability by attack-defense participants as the alternation of the control of the attack surface,the versatility of the game model was effectively guaranteed.On this basis,the existence of equilibrium was analyzed and proved,and the optimal strategy selection algorithm was designed.Finally,the practicality of the constructed model and the effectiveness of the algorithm are verified by an application example.…”
