Abstract: Flexibility at the joint of a manipulator is an intrinsic property. Even “rigid-joint” robots, in fact, possess a certain amount of flexibility. Previous experiments confirmed that joint flexibility ...

Abstract: Two self-tuning adaptive algorithms are developed for a heavy-duty diesel engine in order to tune the idle governor to the specific parameters of a given engine. Engine parameters typically ...

Abstract: This work presents a novel technique for the solution of an optimal input for trajectory tracking. Many researchers have documented the performance advantages of command shaping, which focuses ...

Abstract: Many manufacturing machines must execute motions as quickly as possible to achieve profitable high-volume production. Most of them exhibit some flexibility, which makes the settling time longer ...

Abstract: Benchmark problems have been used to evaluate the performance of a variety of robust control design methodologies by many control engineers over the past 2 decades. A benchmark is a simple ...

Abstract: For nonlinear multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems such as multilink robotic manipulators, finding a correct, physically derived model structure is almost impossible, so that significant model ...
