Abstract: It is verified in theory and experiment that through proper design of the control gains, the simple PD position feedback can control a flexible sheet manipulated by two industrial robots to ...

Abstract: More and more industrial robot operations demand high-accuracy trajectory performance which may not be achievable by using conventional PID control. This paper describes a new adaptive control ...

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a new control method, termed adaptive synchronized (A-S) control, for improving tracking accuracy of a P-R-R type planar parallel manipulator with parametric uncertainty. ...

Abstract: A control method is introduced to permit the retrofit of a large class of commercially available industrial robots with a contact force control capability. In this control algorithm, the outer ...

Abstract: A new control design method is developed to satisfy multiple specifications simultaneously. The proposed convex combination method is applied to a six (6)-degree-of-freedom commercial robot. In a ...

Abstract: Arm-free paraplegic standing via functional electrical stimulation (FES) has drawn much attention in the biomechanical field as it might allow a paraplegic to stand and simultaneously use both ...
