Abstract

This study offers an in-depth analysis of smart wheelchair (SW) systems, charting their progression from early developments to future innovations. It delves into various Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems, including mu rhythm, event-related potential, and steady-state visual evoked potential. The paper addresses challenges in signal categorization, proposing the sparse Bayesian extreme learning machine as an innovative solution. Additionally, it explores the integration of emotional states in BCI systems, the application of alternative control methods such as EMG-based systems, and the deployment of intelligent adaptive interfaces utilizing recurrent quantum neural networks. The study also covers advancements in autonomous navigation, assistance, and mapping, emphasizing their importance in SW systems. The human aspect of SW interaction receives considerable attention, specifically in terms of privacy, physiological factors, and the refinement of control mechanisms. The paper acknowledges the commercial challenges faced, like the limitations of indoor usage and the necessity for user training. For future applications, the research explores the potential of autonomous systems adept at adapting to changing environments and user needs. This exploration includes reinforcement learning and various control methods, such as eye and voice control, to improve adaptability and interaction. The potential integration with smart home technologies, including advanced features such as robotic arms, is also considered, aiming to further enhance user accessibility and independence. Ultimately, this study seeks to provide a thorough overview of SW systems, presenting extensive research to detail their historical evolution, current state, and future prospects.

Observability and parameter estimation of a generic model for aggregated distributed energy resources

We propose a novel framework for estimating the parameters of an aggregated distributed energy resources (DER A) model. First, we introduce a rigorous method to determine whether all model parameters are estimable. When they are not, our approach identifies the subset of parameters that can be estimated. The proposed framework offers new insights into the number and specific parameters that can be reliably estimated based on commonly available measurements. It also highlights the limitations of calibrating such models. Second, we introduce a Kalman filtering method to calibrate the DER A model. Since we account for nonlinear effects such as saturation and deadbands, we develop a specific mechanism to handle smoothing functions within the Kalman filter. Specifically, we consider the extended and the unscented Kalman filter. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework on a modified IEEE 34-node distribution feeder with inverter- based resources. Our findings align with the North American Electric Reliability Corporation's parameterization guideline and underscore the importance of model calibration in accurately capturing the collective dynamics of distributed energy resources installed on distribution systems.

Salted Fisher Information for Hybrid Systems

Discrete events change how parameter-influence propagates in hybrid systems. Prevailing Fisher information for- mulations assume that sensitivities evolve smoothly according to continuous-time variational equations and therefore neglect the sensitivity updates induced by discrete events. This paper derives a Fisher information matrix formulation compatible with hybrid systems. To do so, we use the saltation matrix, which encodes the first-order transformation of sensitivities induced by discrete events. We call the resulting formulation the salted Fisher information matrix (SFIM). The proposed framework unifies continuous information accumulation during flows with discrete updates at event times. We also show that hybrid persistence of excitation is sufficient for the SFIM to be positive definite

Min-Max Grassmannian Optimization for Online Subspace Tracking

We propose GeRoST (Geometrically Robust Subspace Tracking), an online subspace tracking algorithm that models uncertainty in a subspace using a Grassmannian ball. We derive an exact scalar dual for the worst-case subspace problem, establish conditions for a unique worst-case subspace and a Riemannian gradient, and characterize the minimum radius needed to cover a dimensional extension of the target subspace. Each update uses either a spectral direction computed in a reduced subspace or the gradient of the window reconstruction loss. Our numerical experiments show that GeRoST achieves lower mean post-fault prediction error than GREAT in system identification. In video separation, it achieves higher precision and a better precision--recall balance, as measured by the F$_1$ score, than both GREAT and GRASTA at the reported thresholds, with lower recall and longer runtime.
