A discrete-time jump fuzzy system with two hidden Markov models (HMMs) is proposed to portray the asymmetric network characteristic of a class of nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with random but bounded communication delays and packets dropout. The less conservative state feedback controller and the dual-model-depend guaranteed cost controller are designed base on the model. A homotopy- based iterative algorithm solving for nonlinear matrix inequality (NMI) is developed to get the control gains.

This study used qualitative and quantitative methods, such as OWAS (Ovako working posture analysis system) and behavior observation, to analyze musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk factors of power line fixing work in China. Video-based sampling was used to record and analyze the frequency and posture of on-pole activities. Those key subtasks showed ergonomics characteristics of on-pole fixing tasks.
