In this study, an adaptive proportional-integral-derivative (PID) sliding mode control
technique combined with the super-twisting algorithm is planned for the stabilization of …

The intrinsically reciprocating motion in fishlike propulsion causes severe attitude instability
of a robotic fish, which poses enormous challenges for environmental perception and …

This article presents a novel 3D inverted pendulum that can balance on one of its corners
using only a single reaction wheel. This is achieved by a careful design of the mass moment …

This article describes the control of a rotary inverted pendulum utilizing on–off-type cold gas
thrusters as the actuators, which have high similarities with thruster actuated spacecrafts …

The attitude control has been recognized as one of the most important research topics for
spacecraft. If the desired attitude trajectory cannot be tracked precisely, it may cause mission …

Combining off-the-shelf components with 3D-printing, the Wheelbot is a symmetric reaction
wheel unicycle that can jump onto its wheels from any initial position. With non-holonomic …

A ballbot is a mobile robot with the ability to simultaneously move and balance on a
spherical ball. In this study, we proposed control algorithms to stabilize the decoupled …

In this paper a three-dimensional self-balancing cube is introduced. For stabilization and
swing-up, reaction wheels are placed within the cube along with the actuation, electronics …

As a representative type of off-road vehicle, agricultural wheeled tractors are driven under
varied and complicated road conditions such as plowed and hilly fields. Active control is the …

Gyroscopic actuation is appealing for wearable applications due to its ability to impart free
moments on a body without exoskeletal structures on the joints. We recently proposed an …
