Ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) is a new type of flexible electroactive polymer, which
has the advantages of fast response, large driving displacement, small elastic modulus and …

This paper presents a literature review on current studies in cooperative control of fixed-wing
drones, including maneuvering through adjustments of the tail, rotor, and wing …

A model-free robust adaptive controller is proposed for control of humanoid robots with
flexible joints. The proposed controller uses a time-delay estimation technique to estimate …

We have developed a continuous nonsingular terminal sliding-mode control with time-delay
estimation (TDE) for shape memory alloys (SMA) actuators. The proposed method does not …

Robust attitude stabilization problem is dealt with for quadrotor systems subject to nonlinear
and coupling dynamics, uncertainties including parametric uncertainties, unmodeled …

This paper presents a practical adaptive time-delay control scheme (ATDC) and then
applies it to robot manipulators. The proposed ATDC uses a time-delayed signal to cancel …

This brief proposes a new adaptive-robust formulation for time-delay control (TDC) under a
less-restrictive stability condition. TDC relies on estimating the unknown system dynamics …

Drones are a type of unmanned aerial vehicle. They use several rotors to control their flight
motion and stabilize their attitude. This study aims to determine the optimal proportional …

This paper proposes a new adaptive-robust control (ARC) strategy for a tracking control
problem of a class of uncertain Euler-Lagrange systems. The proposed adaptive-robust time …

This paper presents a stochastic, multi-parameters, divergence optimization method for the
auto-tuning of proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers according to a fractional …
