These lecture notes present some new concentration inequalities for Feynman-Kac particle processes. We analyze different types of stochastic particle models, including particle profile occupation measures, genealogical tree based evolution models, particle free energies, as well as backward Markov chain particle models. We illustrate these results with a series of topics related to computational physics and biology, stochastic optimization, signal processing and bayesian statistics, and many other probabilistic machine learning algorithms. Special emphasis is given to the stochastic modeling and the quantitative performance analysis of a series of advanced Monte Carlo methods, including particle filters, genetic type island models, Markov bridge models, interacting particle Markov chain Monte Carlo methodologies.

For the Small Size League of RoboCup 2018, Team ZJUNLict has won the champion and therefore, this paper thoroughly described the devotion which ZJUNLict has devoted and the effort that ZJUNLict has contributed. There are three mean optimizations for the mechanical part which accounted for most of our incredible goals, they are "Touching Point Optimization", "Damping System Optimization", and "Dribbler Optimization". For the electrical part, we realized "Direct Torque Control", "Efficient Radio Communication Protocol" which will be credited for stabilizing the dribbler and a more secure communication between robots and the computer. Our software group contributed as much as our hardware group with the effort of "Vision Lost Compensation" to predict the movement by kalman filter, and "Interception Prediction Algorithm" to achieve some skills and improve our ball possession rate.
