This article presents a complete review of the modeling and control schemes for overhead
cranes operating in 2D and 3D spaces published to date. The modeling schemes including …

So-called robot–object Lagrangian systems consist of a class of nonsmooth underactuated
complementarity Lagrangian systems, with a specific structure: an “object” and a “robot” …

This paper is dedicated to the experimental analysis of discrete-time differentiators
implemented in closed-loop control systems. To this end, an electro-pneumatic system has …

The super-twisting differentiator, also known as the first-order robust exact differentiator, is a
well known sliding mode differentiator. In the absence of measurement noise, it achieves …

The control design for a propeller-based thrust generator used in a wind turbine testing
platform is studied in this work. A mathematical model has been developed for the system …

A linear time-varying state observer is presented for a chain of integrators having bounded
disturbances in the last equation. It is demonstrated that in the noise-free setting, for the …

This paper presents explicit and implicit discrete-time realizations for the robust exact
filtering differentiator, aiming to facilitate an adequate posterior implementation structure in …

This chapter deals with the time discretization of variable-structure differentiators with
discontinuous (ie, set-valued) parts. The explicit and implicit time-discretization schemes are …

The discrete-time implementation of the super-twisting sliding mode controller for a plant
with disturbances with bounded slope, zero-order hold actuation, and actuator constraints is …

Real-time numerical differentiation plays a crucial role in many digital control algorithms,
such as PID control, which requires numerical differentiation to implement derivative action …
