2. Robust Bipartite Output Regulation of Linear Uncertain Multi-Agent Systems Under Observer-Based Protocols Jiashuo Liu, Cui-Qin Ma, Yun-Bo Zhao , and Yu Kang IEEE Trans. Circuits Syst. II 2024 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   Robust bipartite output regulation of linear uncertain multi-agent systems is studied over a signed digraph. Since only parts of agents have access to the information of the exosystem, a distributed observer is introduced to estimate the exosystem state for each agent. Then, a distributed control protocol is proposed based on the internal model method and observer for the exosystem. By exploiting matrix analysis and algebraic graph theory, sufficient conditions for achieving robust bipartite output regulation are given. It is shown that the multi-agent system being structurally balanced and the augmented multiagent system having a spanning tree with the exosystem being the root are the communication topology conditions for ensuring robust bipartite output regulation. Finally, the correctness of the results is validated by an example.

3. PCB Layout-Based Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolution Network for Anomaly Prediction in Solder Paste Printing Binkun Liu, Yun-Bo Zhao , Yu Kang, Yang Cao, and Zhenyi Xu IEEE Trans. Compon. Packag. Manuf. Technol. 2024 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   Predicting solder paste printing anomaly on the printed circuit board (PCB) can improve first-pass yield and reduce rework costs. Considering the impact of PCB layout on the quality of solder paste printing, we propose a PCB layoutbased spatio-temporal graph convolution network, in which we construct a graph to model the spatial distribution of solder pads. Specifically, since the printing quality is related to the spatial distribution of the pads, we convert the PCB to a graph according to the Pearson correlation of the printing quality and then trim the edges of the graph with a correlation threshold to model the spatial distribution of solder pads. To model the timevarying physicochemical properties of the solder paste, normalize the production time, calculate the attention of the production time, and reconstruct the printing quality based on the attention. And then, we devise a weighted loss to improve the performance of predicted printing defective products due to the scarcity of defective products. Ultimately, the predicted printing quality is compared with the inspection threshold to estimate degree of anomaly. The proposed method is validated on six-day of real solder paste printing data, improving the average F1 score by 0.057 and the average accuracy by 0.022 for three typical anomalous printing behaviours over two temporal prediction scales.

5. Rolling Self-Triggered Distributed MPC for Dynamically Coupled Nonlinear Systems Tao Wang, Yu Kang, Pengfei Li, Yun-Bo Zhao , and Hao Tang Automatica 2024 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   The mutual influences caused by dynamic couplings in large-scale systems increase the difficulty in the design and analysis of distributed model predictive control (DMPC), and require information exchange among subsystems which calls for a scheduling strategy to save communication resources in communication-limited environments. To circumvent the two problems, we design a rolling selftriggered DMPC strategy for large-scale dynamically coupled systems with state and control input constraints. First, the optimal control problem where the cost is subject to the coupled dynamic and the constraints are subject to the uncoupled counterpart is proposed, forming the dual-model DMPC that is simple in design and analysis but yields good control performance. Second, the information exchange only occurs at some specified triggering instants determined by a rolling self-triggered mechanism, saving communication resources more significantly. The effectiveness of the designed strategy is verified by numerical simulations.

6. Unified Fuzzy Control of High-Order Nonlinear Systems With Multitype State Constraints Yangang Yao, Yu Kang, Yunbo Zhao, Pengfei Li, and Jieqing Tan IEEE Trans. Cybern. 2024 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   This article presents a unified adaptive fuzzy control approach for high-order nonlinear systems (HONSs) with multitype state constraints. Existing methods always require that the upper and lower constraint boundaries are strictly positive and negative functions (or constants) respectively, which is often inconsistent with the actual constraints. In this article, “multitype state constraints” means that the upper and lower constraint boundaries include multiple types, such as both being strictly positive (or negative), sometime be positive or negative and so on (cases \" -\textpm). By designing a unified mapping function (UMF), the multi-type state constraints are processed under removal the feasibility conditions (FCs). Furthermore, a technical design makes the proposed method also suitable for unconstrained HONSs. By means of fuzzy logic system (FLS) and fixed-time stability theory (FTST), the proposed algorithm can ensure that the tracking error converges to a zero-centered neighborhood within a fixed time. In addition, the adaptive event-triggered control (AETC) technique which can adjust trigger threshold automatically according to tracking error is introduced to save network resources. Simulation results demonstrate the scheme developed.

8. A Novel Prescribed-Time Control Approach of State-Constrained High-Order Nonlinear Systems Yangang Yao, Yu Kang, Yunbo Zhao, Pengfei Li, and Jieqing Tan IEEE Trans. Syst. Man Cybern, Syst. 2024 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   A novel practical prescribed-time control (PPTC) approach for high-order nonlinear systems (HONSs) subject to state constraints is studied in this article. Different from the existing methods which always require the constraint boundaries to be continuous functions, the state constraints considered in this article are discontinuous (i.e., the state constraints occur only in some time periods and not in others), which can be found in many practical systems. By designing a novel stretch modelbased nonlinear mapping function (NMF), the state constraints are dealt with directly, and the limitations that the virtual control function depends upon the feasibility condition (FC) and the tracking error depends upon the constraint boundaries in the conventional schemes are removed. Meanwhile, the proposed method is a unified one, which is also effective for HONSs with conventional continuous state constraints/ deferred state constraints/ funnel constraints or constraints-free without altering the control structure. Furthermore, by designing a newly timevarying scaling transformation function (STF), a more relaxed criterion for practical prescribed-time stable (PPTS) is given, based on which a newly PPTC algorithm is designed. The result shows that the proposed algorithm can preset the upper bound of the settling time, which does not depend upon the initial state of the system and control parameters, the limitations of singularity problem and excessive initial control input in existing methods are removed. Simulation examples verify the algorithm developed.

    本文针对通信网络中存在竞争和非竞争信道的无线网络化控制系统，提出了一种基于估计 器的信道选择策略，在保证控制系统稳定性的同时尽可能地节约了宝贵的非竞争信道资源。在无 线网络化控制系统中，控制信号通过竞争信道传输时可能发生数据包丢失，导致执行器无法收到 实时的控制信号。而传感器端未知控制信号的实际传输情况，因而也无法得知每个时刻执行器所 使用的控制信号。针对这种情况，本文首先设计了估计器来估计执行器端上一时刻实际使用的控 制信号，再通过信道选择策略来约束执行器端使用控制信号的误差。然后，在所提信道选择策略 下设计控制器来保证控制系统稳定。最后，通过数值仿真验证了所提算法的有效性。

11. Compound Event-Triggered Distributed MPC for Coupled Nonlinear Systems Yu Kang, Tao Wang, Pengfei Li, Zhenyi Xu, and Yun-Bo Zhao IEEE Trans. Cybern. 2023 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

    This paper investigates the event-triggered distributed model predictive control (DMPC) for perturbed coupled nonlinear systems subject to state and control input constraints. A novel compound event-triggered DMPC strategy, including a compound triggering condition and a new constraint tightening approach, is developed. In this event-triggered strategy, two stability-related conditions are checked in a parallel manner, which relaxes the requirement of the decrease of the Lyapunov function. As a result, the number of triggering instants can be reduced significantly. Furthermore, the proposed constraint tightening approach solves the problem of the state constraint satisfaction, which is quite challenging due to the external disturbances and the mutual influences caused by dynamical coupling. Simulations are conducted at last to validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

12. Disturbance Prediction-Based Adaptive Event-Triggered Model Predictive Control for Perturbed Nonlinear Systems Pengfei Li, Yu Kang, Tao Wang, and Yun-Bo Zhao IEEE Trans. Automat. Contr. 2023 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

    A disturbance prediction based adaptive event-triggered model predictive control scheme is proposed for nonlinear systems in the presence of slowly varying disturbance. The optimal control problem in the model predictive control scheme is formulated by taking advantage of a proposed central path-based disturbance prediction approach, and the event-triggered mechanism is designed to be adaptive to the triggering interval. As a result, the proposed scheme improves the state prediction precision and hence reduces greatly the triggering frequency. Furthermore, for input-affine nonlinear systems, the disturbance separation and compensation techniques are developed to further enlarge the triggering interval. Theoretical analysis of the algorithm feasibility and closed-loop stability, as well as numerical evaluations of the effectiveness of the proposed schemes, are also given.

    Leader-following cluster consensus is investigated for multi-agent systems with weighted cooperative-competitive networks and measurement noise. A stochastic approximation protocol is proposed for interactively balanced and sub-balanced networks, and pinning control is introduced to deal with the divergence phenomenon in interactively unbalanced networks. With these protocols, sufficient conditions for reaching strong mean square leader-following cluster consensus are established for all the three types of networks, which are also extended to the cases without measurement noise. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed protocols and theoretical analysis.

17. Event-Based Model Predictive Control for Nonlinear Systems with Dynamic Disturbance Pengfei Li, Tao Wang, Yu Kang, Kun Li, and Yun-Bo Zhao Automatica 2022 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

    In this paper, we investigate the event-based model predictive control (MPC) for constrained nonlinear systems with dynamic disturbance. An event-triggered disturbance prediction MPC (DPMPC) scheme and a self-triggered counterpart, which explicitly consider the disturbance dynamics, are proposed. For the event-triggered DPMPC scheme, the triggering condition relying on the state prediction error and the predicted disturbance sequence, updates at each time step based on the system states. For the self-triggered DPMPC scheme, the next triggering instant is determined by using the optimal state sequence and predicted disturbance sequence. In both event-based schemes, the optimal control problems are solved only at triggering instants, thus reducing the consumption of computational resources. The effectiveness of the two schemes is demonstrated by a simulation example.

18. Cluster Consensus for Coupled Harmonic Oscillators Under a Weighted Cooperative-Competitive Network Cui-Qin Ma, Tian-Ya Liu, and Yun-Bo Zhao International Journal of Control 2022 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

    Cluster consensus is investigated for multiple coupled harmonic oscillators under a weighted cooperativecompetitive network. Consensus protocols for three categories of communication networks are constructed by employing a weighted gain, and sufficient conditions for guaranteeing cluster consensus are obtained. It is found that under the proposed protocols, the states of all oscillators can be guaranteed to reach periodic orbits that are the same in frequency no matter which cluster the oscillators belong to. In particular, cluster partitions here are not given a prior, but are determined by the communication topology among oscillators. Numerical examples are given to validate the effectiveness of theoretical results.

1. A Reliable Ensemble Model Based on Hierarchical Component Features for Repair Label Prediction of Soldering Defects Longxin Chen, Yunbo Zhao, Binkun Liu, Shaojie Dong, Huijuan Zhu, and Peng Bai In 2024 14th Asian Control Conf. ASCC 2024 [Abs] [pdf]

   Using solder paste inspection (SPI) and automated optical inspection (AOI) data, accurate prediction for repair labels of soldering defective printed circuit board (PCB) components can help reduce labor costs. Existing research tries to pick out both the false defect components (actually good) and impossible-to-repair components among defective PCB components, using SPI and AOI data. However, it is inappropriate to pick out the false defect components from screened components using defective information in AOI data. Therefore, the problem setting of existing research is inappropriate, resulting in the algorithm’s performance not meeting actual requirements. To address this problem, we only care about the reliable prediction of impossible-to-repair components. We propose a hierarchical component feature extraction method that can comprehensively characterize the degree of component defects from multiple levels, including pin level and component level. Then we apply the ensemble model based on XGBoost and TabNet and adjust the probability threshold of components judged as impossible-to-repair category, achieving the reliable prediction of impossible-to-repair components. Finally, we validated our method on real datasets and achieved better experimental results compared to baseline methods, which can meet actual requirements,

2. Uncertainty-Based Dynamic Weighted Experience Replay for Human-in-the-Loop Deep Reinforcement Learning Xia Tian, Yu Kang, Yun-Bo Zhao , Ya-Qing Zhou, and Peng-Fei Li In 2024 [Abs] [pdf]

   Human-in-the-loop reinforcement learning (HIRL) enhances sampling efficiency in deep reinforcement learning by incorporating human expertise and experience into the training process. However, HIRL methods still heavily depend on expert guidance, which is a key factor limiting their further development and largescale application. In this paper, an uncertainty-based dynamic weighted experience replay approach (UDWER) is proposed to solve the above problem. Our approach enables the algorithm to detect decision uncertainty, triggering human intervention only when uncertainty exceeds a threshold. This reduces the need for continuous human supervision. Additionally, we design a dynamic experience replay mechanism that prioritizes machine self-exploration and humanguided samples with different weights based on decision uncertainty. We also provide a theoretical derivation and related discussion. Experiments in the Lunar Lander environment demonstrate improved sampling efficiency and reduced reliance on human guidance.

3. Trust-Modulated Authority Allocation in Human-Guided Goal Recognition Tasks Rui-Yu Xia, Yun-Bo Zhao , Jun-Sen Lu, Yang Wang, Peng-Fei Li, and Yu Kang In 2024 [Abs] [pdf]

   In shared control teleoperation, the machine infers the humans’ goal to provide effective assistance, which we call human-guided goal recognition. However, current methods mainly use algorithm confidence to assign control authority during the process, which makes it difficult to correct machine inference errors under high confidence. To address this problem, we propose a trust model that considers machine capability fluctuations and human-machine interaction experience. We also add trust as a dynamic assessment of machine capabilities to authority allocation to improve the success rate of the tasks. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of the proposed method through experiments.

4. Prediction of Yield in Functional Testing of Motherboards in Laptop Manufacturing Yunbo Zhao, Shaojie Dong, Yu Kang, Kangcheng Wang, Longxin Chen, and Peng Bai In 2024 14th Asian Control Conf. ASCC 2024 [Abs] [pdf]

   Functional testing stands as a pivotal quality control step in the production process of laptop motherboards, aiming to validate the proper functioning of various components. However, due to the multitude of functional modules involved on the motherboard, testing all of them requires a significant amount of time and resources. As a result, production line engineers often rely on empirical selection of modules with low yield rates for testing. However, such empirical yield estimation is often inaccurate. To address this challenge, this study proposes a hybrid model based on XGBoost and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to predict the yield of each functional module. By harnessing the feature learning capability of XGBoost and the sequential modeling power of LSTM, this model efficiently explores the intricate correlations among motherboard functional modules, thereby accurately forecasting their yields. We extensively train and validate the model using historical production data and successfully deploy it on real laptop motherboard production lines. Experimental results demonstrate that our hybrid model accurately predicts the yield of each functional module, providing crucial guidance for the functional testing process. Through in-depth analysis of the predicted yield results, engineers can systematically choose testing projects to save time and resources. This research offers a novel approach and pathway for enhancing motherboard production efficiency and quality.

5. Board-Level Functional Test Selection Based on Fault Tree Analysis Yaoyao Li, Kangcheng Wang, Yu Kang, Yunbo Zhao, and Peng Bai In 2023 6th Int. Symp. Auton. Syst. ISAS 2023 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   With the increasing complexity of the circuit board, the cost of board-level functional test ensuring the board quality becomes dramatically high. Data-driven-based test selection methods have been widely studied for test-cost reduction. However, existing test selection methods tend to overfit due to overlooking the root causes of faulty boards. To address this issue, a test selection method based on reliability analysis is proposed. A fault tree oriented to the board-level functional test is established for analyzing the reliability of the board and test items. The reliability analysis result is then effectively utilized to formulate a test selection method. Three indices are introduced to evaluate the test efficiency and the test quality. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

6. A Feature Engineering-based Method for PCB Solder Paste Position Offset Prediction Binkun Liu, Yunbo Zhao, Yu Kang, Yang Cao, Peng Bai, and Zhenyi Xu In 2023 6th Int. Symp. Auton. Syst. ISAS 2023 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   Solder paste printing position offset is a common type of defective printed circuit board (PCB) printing, and accurate position offset prediction helps to avoid the production of defects, thus improving efficiency. The existing methods mainly use the powerful nonlinear fitting ability of deep learning to learn the variation pattern of solder paste printing quality to achieve a good prediction. However, factories also focus on the interpretability of the model, and existing methods are difficult to give the basis for decisions, so there are still limitations in the practical application. To solve this problem, we propose a Support vector machine (SVM) approach, in which we manually design 14 statistical features based on the original data, then the resampling reduces the effect of data imbalance and achieves PCB pad-level offset prediction. Finally we verified on about one week of real solder paste printing production data and achieved good experimental results.

7. Defect Detection of Laptop Appearance Based on Improved Multi-Scale Normalizing Flows Jie Zhang, Zerui Li, and Yunbo Zhao In 2023 38th Youth Acad. Annu. Conf. Chin. Assoc. Autom. YAC 2023 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   In the laptop production process, timely detection of appearance defects is essential to ensure product quality. At present, there are many shortcomings in the manual visual inspection-based method on the laptops production line. In addition, due to the wide variety of laptop appearance defects and extreme differences in defect scales, existing defect detection algorithms perform poorly in the field of laptop appearance inspection. In response to the above problems, this paper proposes a defect detection algorithm based on improved multi-scale normalizing flows. First, the multi-level features extracted from the backbone network are fused by using the pyramid feature fusion module to obtain multi-scale features with rich semantic and spatial information. Then, the effective density estimation of the multi-scale features is achieved by fusing the normalizing flows of attention mechanisms. Finally, the defects are detected and localized based on the output likelihood values. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in detecting and locating appearance defects.

8. A Robustness Benchmark for Prognostics and Health Management Binkun Liu, Yun-Bo Zhao , Yang Cao, Yu Kang, and Zhenyi Xu In 2022 41st Chin. Control Conf. CCC 2022 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   With the rise of intelligent manufacturing, prognostics and health management(PHM) has developed rapidly as an important part of intelligent manufacturing.Existing deep learning-based PHM methods are data-dependent. However, sensor data often contains noise and is redundant and high-dimensional, making it difficult for the PHM methods to learn a stable set of model parameters, so the methods are likely to be wrong when disturbed. However, the factory hopes that the PHM methods are robust enough to adapt to various disturbances, so it is necessary to perform robustness evaluation on the existing methods in advance for easy deployment. Although the existing robust theoretical analysis methods for neural networks can obtain tight robust boundaries, they consume a lot of computing resources and are difficult to scale to large neural networks. To slove this problem, We design a benchmark for robustness analysis of large deep learning PHM models, in which we test the model robustness using a variety of perturbations to simulate the actual production environment of the factory. Specifically, Gaussian noise is used to test the robustness of the model to background noise; random mask is used to test the robustness of the model to data loss. We hope that our robustness benchmark can serve as a reference for designing PHM models to improve the robustness of factory PHM models.

9. Equipment Health Assessment Based on AHP-CRITIC Dynamic Weight Yunsheng Zhao, Pengfei Li, Tao Wang, Yu Kang, and Yun-Bo Zhao In 2022 41st Chin. Control Conf. CCC 2022 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

   Prognostics Health and Management (PHM) has become a hot research problem with the improvement of different equipment. Besides, it is significant to assess the health status of equipment in PHM because an accurate health assessment can guide maintenance plans for engineers. To accurately reflect equipment health status by an index, an assessment method based on AHP-CRITIC dynamic weight is proposed in this paper. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a subjective method used to evaluate the importance of different indicators. The criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation (CRITIC) method is used to calculate the contrast intensity of the same indicator and the conflict between indicators and obtain the objective weights. A set of more scientific weights is gained by combining the weights obtained from AHP and CRITIC, respectively. Moreover, to reflect each indicator’s real impact on overall health status, a dynamic weight adjustment mechanism is used. The case study of suction nozzles of a specific type of chip mounter shows that this method can reflect the health status accurately.

10. Anomaly Detection for Surface of Laptop Computer Based on Patchcore Gan Algorithm Huijuan Zhu, Yu Kang, Yun-Bo Zhao , Xiaohui Yan, and Junqiang Zhang In 2022 41st Chin. Control Conf. CCC 2022 [Abs] [doi] [pdf]

    Timely detection of notebook appearance defects is an important means to prevent products from being delivered to customers before leaving the factory.In industrial production, more emphasis is placed on fast and accurate detection methods, but the existing difficulties: 1. Defect samples are rare and difficult to obtain; 2. In high-resolution images, there are slight differences between abnormal samples and normal samples; 3. Slowly detection and insufficient accuracy.The existing methods mainly use a large amount of abnormal samples, so it is difficult to extend to the field of notebook appearance anomaly detection.To solve this problem, we designed a method that firstly uses unsupervised PatchCore which the algorithm was trained on normal samples and Defect GAN is used in test phase. To create a large number of verisimilitude abnormal samples and test these samples with PatchCore. On TKP-Surface datasets, the AUROC score of image-level anomaly detection achieves 96.1%, which meets the requirements of industrial applications.
