Abstract: This paper focuses on robot control problems where energy regeneration is an explicit consideration, and it proposes a methodology for modeling and control design of regenerative motion control systems. The generic model ...

Abstract: In this work, a new drive concept for brushless direct current (BLDC) motors is introduced. Energy regeneration is optimally managed with the aim of improving the energy efficiency of robot motion controls. The proposed ...

Abstract: This paper develops a passivitybased robust motion controller for a robot used in prosthetic leg performance studies. The mathematical model of the robot and passive prosthesis corresponds to a three degreeoffreedom, ...

Abstract: Parametric optimization problems are considered for serial robots with regenerative drive mechanisms. A subset of the robot joints are conventional, in the sense that external power is used for actuation. Other joints are ...

Abstract: An impedancebased control scheme is introduced for cooperative manipulators grasping a rigid object. The position and orientation of the payload are to be maintained close to the desired trajectory, trading off tracking ...

Abstract: The paper considers a generic model for a turbofan engine coupled to electromechanical (EM) elements used for energy conversion and storage in electric form. The electromechanical systems apply torque to the engine shafts, ...

Abstract: For human–machine interaction, the forward progression of technology, particularly controls, regularly brings about new possibilities. Indeed, healthcare applications have flourished in recent years, including robotic ...
