Abstract Deployment behavior of modularized structures is numerically analyzed from the viewpoint of synchronism. Elastic panels with single and double accordion folding patterns are examined as examples of modularized structures. Through computer simulations, it is shown that asynchronous deployments are caused by inertia forces. To improve the synchronism of the deployment, autonomous distributed control method is proposed. Control rules are driven based on equations of heat conduction and wave propagation. It is confirmed that simple autonomous distributed control can improve the synchronism of the deployment.

In this paper an Asymmetric Fuzzy Method for MPPT Control of PV System was described, which is focus on the nonlinear characteristics of solar arrays and it is necessary to create control rules that meet the output characteristics of the solar arrays. Asymmetric Fuzzy control method can solve this question: the input function and membership function reflect characteristics of photovoltaic array adequately, which is different from traditional symmetric fuzzy control. So we can adjust to the disturbance step according to the characteristics of photovoltaic array.

With the development of smart home technology, more and more electrical appliances can participate in demand response, providing support for active power balance of the power grid. However, the conventional centralized control method faces vast amounts of electrical appliances, resulting in problems such as communication congestion and dimension curse. This paper proposes a distributed control strategy for electrical appliances based on a multi-agent consensus algorithm. Considering the discrete response characteristics of the on/off loads, a priority ranking mechanism is established, and the customer cost function is established by a fitting method. Based on the incremental cost consensus (ICC) algorithm, the optimal power allocation of customers is realized through distributed control. Simulation and analysis of the examples verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

This paper mainly investigates formation control problems for a group of anonymous mobile robots with unknown nonlinear disturbances on a plane, in which all robots can asymptotically converge to any formation patterns without collision, and maintain any required relative distance with neighboring robots. To solve this problem, all robots are modeled as kinematic points and can only acquire information from other robots and their targets. Furthermore, a flexible distributed control law is designed to solve the formation problem while no collisions between any robots can be guaranteed during the whole process. The outstanding feature of the proposed control method is that it can force all mobile robots to form not only uniform circle formations but also non-uniform and non-circular formations with moving target centers. At last, both theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show the feasibility of the proposed control law.
