Abstract: In this paper a neural network-based strategy is proposed for the estimation of the NOx emissions in thermal power plants, fed with both oil and methane fuel. A detailed analysis based on a ...

Abstract: The state space control of a positioning system affected by torsional elasticity at the gearbox is considered, using a motor position transducer only. An output feedback, pole placement controller ...

Abstract: In this paper the robustness properties of explicit force control with respect to contact stiffness are investigated, considering different control laws applied to an industrial robot affected ...

Abstract: The problem of estimating the stiffness constants of the joints in industrial manipulators is addressed in this paper. It is shown that the model of the robot constrained by a rigid environment ...
