In the first part, this article presents an overview of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC)
methodologies developed for space manipulators to perform in-orbit robotic missions …

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 …

This paper reports our study on adaptive fuzzy tracking control for flexible-joint robots with
full state constraints. In the control design, fuzzy systems are adopted to identify the totally …

Thank you for opening the third edition of this monograph, dedicated to dissipative linear or
nonlinear, autonomous or time-varying, smooth or nonsmooth, single-valued or set-valued …

This paper describes a general passivity-based framework for the control of flexible joint
robots. Recent results on torque, position, as well as impedance control of flexible joint …

Nowadays, the control technology of the robotic manipulator with flexible joints (RMFJ) is not
mature enough. The flexible-joint manipulator dynamic system possesses many …

The precise tracking control problem for n-link flexible-joint (FJ) robotic systemsis addressed
in this paper. A new adaptive fuzzy command filtered control strategy is presented, where …

By the dawn of the new millennium, robotics has undergone a major transf-mation in scope
and dimensions. This expansion has been brought about by the maturity of the? eld and the …
