The wheeled mobile robot is a nonlinear system. The trajectory tracking control problem is solved using the sliding mode control. In this paper four control laws are modeled and the system performances are investigated. The sliding mode control laws for the trajectory tracking problem are simulated and then implemented on the PatrolBot Robot. The performances are analyzed in order to establish ...

We propose performance profiles — distribution functions for a performance metric — as a tool for benchmarking and comparing optimization software. We show that performance profiles combine the best features of other tools for performance evaluation.

Wireless camera networks provide a unique opportunity for collaborative surveillance. Performance evaluation and optimization of camera networks, however, has seldom been addressed. This chapter fills this gap by detailing an approach by which individual cameras and a whole network of cameras can be simultaneously optimized in terms of Pareto efficiency using multi-objective optimization of per...
