The use of robots in our daily lives is increasing. Different types of robots perform different
tasks that are too dangerous or too dull to be done by humans. These sophisticated …

This paper develops a novel control methodology for tracking control of robot manipulators
based on a novel adaptive backstepping nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode control …

Previous research on finite-time control focuses on forcing a system state (vector) to
converge within a certain time moment, regardless of how each state element converges. In …

This article investigates an adaptive finite-time tracking control for under-actuated nonlinear
systems with unknown backlash-like hysteresis and arbitrary switchings. A hierarchical …

Notice of Violation of IEEE Publication Principles After careful consideration by a duly
constituted committee, an author of this article, Hamid Reza Karimi, was found to have acted …

In this work, a new robust controller is developed for robot manipulator based on an
integrating between a novel self-tuning fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (PID) …

This article studies an adaptive fault-tolerant approach with a fixed-time sliding mode for
trajectory tracking of uncertain robot manipulators with actuator effectiveness faults. An …

This paper is devoted to developing an extended state observer based non-singular fast
terminal sliding mode control with fixed-time convergence for a vertical take-off and vertical …

This paper presents the results for model-independent control of uncertain n-degree of
freedom robotic manipulators in the presence of external disturbances and backlash …

In the automatic welding process on mid/thick plates, the precision of the welding position
has an important effect on welding quality, which mainly relies on the identification of the …
