QIEN: Quantum-Inspired Energy-Neutral UAV Trajectory for WPT-Enabled Industrial HRLLC

Abstract

This paper introduces Quantum-Inspired Energy-Neutral (QIEN) UAV Trajectory for WPT-Enabled Industrial HRLLC, a novel framework for mobility-integrated trajectory and resource optimization in solar-powered uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) relay systems supporting autonomous mining robots in post-disaster environments. We formulate a mixed-integer nonlinear program (MINLP) that jointly optimizes UAV trajectory, finite blocklength allocation, transmit power, and wireless power transfer (WPT) over discrete time horizons to maximize aggregate data throughput. The system operates under strict extreme hyper-reliable low-latency communication (HRLLC) constraints, energy sustainability requirements via solar harvesting, and continuous robot power delivery. To solve this large-scale optimization problem, QIEN employs a hybrid Cooperative Quantum-behaved Particle Swarm Optimization (Co-QPSO) algorithm using quantum tunneling mechanisms and a heterogeneous swarm architecture. Our simulation results demonstrate that the proposed QIEN framework significantly outperforms benchmark algorithms, achieving successful convergence while maintaining energy-neutral operation and satisfying all reliability, power, and mobility constraints.

A flexible language model-assisted electronic design automation framework

Large language models (LLMs) are transforming electronic design automation (EDA) by enhancing design stages such as schematic design, simulation, netlist synthesis, and place-and-route. Existing methods primarily focus these optimisations within isolated open-source EDA tools and often lack the flexibility to handle multiple domains, such as analogue, digital, and radio-frequency design. In contrast, modern systems require to interface with commercial EDA environments, adhere to tool-specific operation rules, and incorporate feedback from design outcomes while supporting diverse design flows. We propose a versatile framework that uses LLMs to generate files compatible with commercial EDA tools and optimise designs using power-performance-area reports. This is accomplished by guiding the LLMs with tool constraints and feedback from design outputs to meet tool requirements and user specifications. The framework is used to evaluate case studies on operational transconductance amplifiers, microstrip patch antennas, and FPGA circuits.

Vector-field-guided constraint-following control for path following of uncertain mechanical systems

Achieving dynamics-level control is a critical yet challenging problem for accurate, high-speed geometric path-following of uncertain robotic systems. This paper proposes a vector-field-guided constraint-following control framework for geometric path following of uncertain mechanical systems. The key idea is to encode vector-field guidance as a velocity constraint, enabling a unified force/torque control design for a class of fully actuated and underactuated systems with desired paths that may be self-intersecting. A global, explicit error estimate connects constraint-following accuracy to path-following performance with convergence guarantees. An adaptive robust extension further addresses heterogeneous time-varying uncertainties with unknown bounds and ensures ultimately bounded path-following error. Applications to an underactuated aircraft system and a fully actuated manipulator system demonstrate the effectiveness and advantages of the framework.

Prospect Theoretic Approach to Pursuit-evasion Differential Games with Risk Aversion and Probability Sensitivity

This paper considers pursuit-evasion (PE) differential games in which the pursuer's and evader's irrational perceptions of environmental uncertainty lead to deviations from rational controllers. Firstly, the equivalent irrational behavioral models of risk aversion and probability sensitivity are established using Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT). Secondly, sufficient conditions for capturability are established in terms of irrationality parameters. Finally, the CPT-Nash equilibrium is analyzed by Brouwer's fixed-point and self-consistency theorem. The new results reveal that irrational behaviors benefit the pursuer in some cases and the evader in others. Certain captures that are unachievable under rational behaviors can be achieved under irrational ones. By bridging irrational behavior with game-based control, a theoretical foundation is established for human-machine control systems.
