This paper presents a fault-tolerant control approach for four-wheel independently driven
(4WID) electric vehicles. An adaptive control-based passive fault-tolerant controller is …

Abstract Model-based, torque-level control can offer precision and speed advantages over
velocity-level or position-level robot control. However, the dynamic parameters of the robot …

This work addresses the problem of the accurate task space control subject to finite-time
convergence. Dynamic equations of a rigid robotic manipulator are assumed to be …

In this paper, the design of an acceleration sensor based active vibration control for a
cantilever beam with bonded piezoelectric patches is studied. The problem of phase …

The strong nonlinear dynamics of tail-sitter vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) unmanned
aerial vehicles (UAVs) have consistently constrained their applications. Particularly, the …

An aerial manipulator is a new kind of flying robot system composed of a rotorcraft
unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a multi-link robotic arm. It gives the flying robot the …

TRAJECTORY tracking has been one of the most challenging problems in control of an
unmanned helicopter due to the following facts discussed in [1–3]: 1) The dynamic model of …

Industrial robots endure severe vibrations in the grinding process due to factors such as joint
flexibility, low damping, and contact force fluctuations. Additionally, the motion control of the …

Some flexible appendages of spacecrafts, such as solar panels, are cantilever plate
structures. Thus, vibration problem is unavoidable when there is slewing maneuver or …

This paper treats a robust adaptive trajectory-tracking control design for a rotorcraft using a
high-fidelity math model subject to model uncertainties. In order to control the nonlinear …
