Abstract: A procedure for implementing a continuous controller, the output of which may vary within a continuous range of values, by means of a discrete controller, of which the output may only be ...

Abstract: A path-tracking controller for a load-haul-dump mining vehicle is designed using a geometric approach recently developed in the context of car- and tractor-trailer-like vehicles. This controller ...

Abstract: A procedure for the design of a motion/force controller for a manipulator, the end-effector of which maintains a stiff contact with the environment, is presented. Based on the computed torque ...

Abstract: A classical PI speed drive controller modified with the parallel addition of an on-off switching element appears to offer a potential for reasonable improvement over the performance of the ...

Abstract: The problem of path-tracking for an autonomous vehicle composed of a tractor and n−1 trailers with off-axle hitching is considered in this paper. It is shown that an input-output feedback ...
