Abstract: Unfortunately, a sign mistake in Eq. (22) had been made and was propagated throughout the paper. According to our definition of the stiffness matrix in Eq. (4), the correct form of the ...

Abstract: The stiffness of cable-based robots is studied in this paper. Since antagonistic forces are essential for the operation of cable-based manipulators, their effects on the stiffness should be ...

Abstract: A closed-loop control of the laser cladding process is desired due to difficulties encountered in depositing a layer with acceptable quality from both geometrical and metallurgical point of ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is to identify a dynamic model that describes the temperature distribution in a die with uncertain dynamics using a neural network (NN) approach. By using data ...

Abstract: In this paper, a control design methodology for the new class of modular robots so-called “unidrive modular robots” is introduced. Unidrive modular robots because of employing only a single ...

Abstract: The objective of this research is to identify optimal temperature sensor locations in a laminated die system for the purpose of predicting the temperature distribution throughout the die to ...

Abstract: In this paper we consider the problem of regulation of a flexible lumped parameter beam. The controller is an active/passive mass-spring-dashpot mechanism which is free to slide along the beam. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a closed-loop laser cladding process used in nonplanar deposition of desired metallic materials. In the proposed system, the deposited layer geometry is continuously controlled ...

Abstract: A new vectorial bondgraph approach for modeling and simulation of human locomotion is introduced. The vectorial bondgraph is applied to an eight-segment gait model to derive the equations of ...
