Abstract
This article revisits the inverted pendulum-in particular, analyses a simplified model of a Segway, with a view to exploring its capabilities in Control Systems Engineering education. The integration between the theoretic and practical side is achieved through simulation, and in particular by using MathWorks software. We also present a structure for the work to be done in the Laboratory class and propose a solution for the problem. © 2018 IEEE.

Abstract
Knowledge of the Kalman filter is very important in machine learning since is the basis for understanding more advanced concepts. Towards this end, control and estimation courses should assure the understanding of the concept and its correct application. A tutorial on the design, implementation and test of the KF to denoise the discharge current of a Li-ion cell is presented in this article. The students are also meant to acquire the discharge data used in the case study - Discharge of a Li-ion cell. The Battery Discharger Board is a low cost device to discharge Li-ion cells with a user programmable current discharge profile. The discharge is controlled and monitored by an external microcontroller connected to a host computer that stores and processes the discharge data. This board has been constructed to help students to gain insight into batteries. The current is measured by ACS712 Hall sensors, which are low cost but also very noisy. To de-noise the current measurements two different KF are used with the current being modelled as the state of a first order integrator. In the first approach, the KF assumes that the system is disturbed by process and measurement noises while in the second it only assumes measurement noise, The operation of the discharge board is illustrated in two experiments: (i) one with a constant discharge current and (ii) the other with a pulsed current. In both experiments, the filters performance was very good. Copyright (c) 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
In this work, the prediction of a time series is formulated as a gaussian process regression, for different levels of noise. The gaussian regressor is translated into lower rank Dynamic Mode Decomposition methods that use kernels (K-DMD) - Kernel regression and Least Squares Support Vector Machines. The presented unified approach delivers an algorithm where the optimisation of the marginal likelihood function can be used to find the parameters of the kernel regression. The viability of the procedure is demonstrated on a chaotic series, with quite good adjustment results being obtained. Copyright (c) 2023 The Authors.
