Abstract: In this paper an implementation of an adaptive control law for a pneumatic actuator is presented. Pneumatic actuators are of particular interest for robotic applications because of their large ...

Abstract: Efficient design techniques are presented for improving the response of seismic-excited buildings under actuators with limited capacity. Information regarding the actuator capacity and estimated peak ground acceleration ...

Abstract: A new class of scheduled controllers is presented for improving the response of seismic-excited buildings under actuators with limited capacity. The controller is scheduled based on the response of the system on-line, to ...

Abstract: Two design techniques are proposed to improve disturbance attenuation of seismic-excited buildings with bounded actuators. The first technique is based strictly on the quadratic stabilization with a disturbance attenuation ...

Abstract: Because of the stochastic nature of earthquakes and limited capacities of actuators, it is conceivable that the actuators used for the control of civil engineering structures may be saturated during strong earthquakes. In ...

Abstract: This paper presents robust
