Context Contemporary technologies, such as mainstream and specialised Assistive Technologies (ATs), are seen effective. However, there is a noticeable gap between technological progress the ability to customise these technologies meet unique needs characteristics of neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on Autism Spectrum people with Intellectual Disability (pwID).

Humanoid robots have a substantial potential to serve as teaching and social assistants. However, the expectations of children from interact like humans are huge. This study presents general model for understanding natural language in human-robot interaction by applying Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) models service Internet Things. Thus, physical presence robot can help fine-tuning GPT prompts derived environmental context subsequent actions embodiment outputs. The uses web or...

Positive systems are defined as with trajectories entirely in the non-negative orthant whenever initial state is non-negative. The cohort-type model represents class of positive linear considered here. method and procedure for pole-assignment corresponding closed-loop system proposed. based on inverse eigenspectrum conditions developed under consideration monomial similarity matrices. relation between controllability also studied. Numerical examples illustrating provided.

The stabilization problem of positive linear discrete-time systems (PLDS) by state feedback is considered. A method based on a Brauer’s theorem proposed for solving the problem. It allows us to modify some eigenvalues system without changing rest them. studied single-input single-output (SISO) and multi-input multioutput (MIMO) cases sufficient conditions stability positivity closed-loop are proved. results illustrated numerical examples used in stochastic systems.

The present paper develops an optimal linear quadratic boundary controller for 2×2 hyperbolic partial differential equations (PDEs) with actuation on only one end of the domain. First-order necessary conditions optimality is derived via weak variations and in state-feedback form presented. regulator (LQR) calculated from algebraic Riccati equations. Numerical examples are performed to show use proposed method.

In the paper infinite-horizon Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) problem of linear discrete time systems with non-negative state constraints is presented. Such kind on system determine class positive systems. They have big application in many fields like economics, biology, ecology, ICT and others. The standard infinite LQR-optimal feedback law used for solving problem. order to guarantee nonnegativity states, we define admissible set initial states. It proven that, each from this nonnegative...
