Covering fractional order theory, simulation and experiments, this book explains how
fractional order modelling and fractional order controller design compares favourably with …

In this paper, fractional order system observability is discussed. A representation of these
systems that involves a classical linear integer system and a system described by a …

In this paper we show that a fractional adaptive controller based on high gain output
feedback can always be found to stabilize any given linear, time-invariant, minimum phase …

Continuum soft robots are made up of soft material components (referred to as continuum),
rigid components, actuators, and sensors. By structurally deforming the continuum, a motion …

We propose a novel approach called the robust fractional-order proportional-integral-
derivative (FOPID) controller, to stabilize a perturbed nonlinear chaotic system on one of its …

Controllers based on fractional order calculus are gaining more and more interests from the
control community. This type of controllers may involve fractional integration, fractional …

Fractional PID (PI λ D µ) controllers are not commonly used in industry when compared to
classical PID controllers. The main reason is that the fractional controller parameters tuning …

Flexible swing arm system (FSAS) is one of the most important components in the LED
packaging industry. The trajectory tracking performance of the FSAS will directly affect the …

This paper presents a comparison of some well-known global optimization techniques'
performance. The purpose of the comparison is to find the best algorithm for optimization …

Control (MRAC) using fractional order operators, is introduced for SISO plants which contain
additive bounded disturbances. We show that this scheme presents a certain benefit action …
