Abstract: Perching in unmanned aerial vehicles is appealing for reconnaissance, monitoring, communications, and charging. This paper focuses on modeling, simulation, and control of bioinspired perching in unmanned aerial vehicles ...

Abstract: Most practical automotive problems require the design of experiments (DoEs) over a number of different operating conditions to deliver optimal calibration parameters. DoE is especially crucial for automotive engine calibration ...

Abstract: Modeling of the hysteresis nonlinearities of the pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) is critical when it is proposed to drive various high-precision mechatronics applications. This letter aims to characterize the hysteresis ...

Abstract: Omnidirectional mobile robots are widely used in studies and services as they are effective and efficient in moving in any direction regardless of their current orientation. These significant properties are very useful in ...

Abstract: Ball catching by a robot is one of the challenging and complex control tasks that is extensively studied to achieve humanlike skills in robots. Over the last decade, several ballcatching robot designs have attained benchmarks ...

Abstract: In this paper, we first presented a fourbar linkage mechanism for actuating the wings in a flapping wing flying robot. After that, given the additional constraints imposed by the fourbar linkage, we parameterized the wing ...

Abstract: Burst suppression is a phenomenon in which the electroencephalogram (EEG) of a pharmacologically sedated patient alternates between higher frequency and amplitude bursting to lower frequency and amplitude suppression. The ...

Abstract: This article considers tractors traveling on rough terrain and studies the effects of the road surfaces on their behavior. Clarifying these effects is useful for their stable traveling on rough terrain, which contributes ...

Abstract: In this letter, a systematic synthesis of a new class of smooth parameter projection operators is presented. To elaborate such an approach, the adaptive control problem for a nth-order, single-input, linearly parametrizable, ...

Abstract: Cooperative small harvesting robots, mimicking a group of human pickers, have the potential to significantly reduce labor dependence in strawberry production. A tri-layered algorithm is investigated to effectively assign ...
