This book presents the recently introduced and already widely referred semi-discretization
method for the stability analysis of delayed dynamical systems. Delay differential equations …

A new approach for observer-based feedback control of time-delay systems is developed.
Time-delays in systems lead to characteristic equations of infinite dimension, making the …

This paper presents a novel methodology for modeling human lane keeping control by
characterizing a unique concept of elementary steering pulses, which are motor primitives in …

A novel flux weakening strategy and an expert controller utilizing fuzzy inference mechanism
are proposed to improve robustness of current control in the flux weakening region. Because …

In order to realize force sensorless fine force control, this paper proposes a new notch-type
friction-free disturbance observer (DOB) and a new notch-type friction-free reaction force …

The article presents a pseudospectral approach to assess the stability robustness of linear
time‐periodic delay systems, where periodic functions potentially present discontinuities and …

Digitization and time delay are known to modify the stability properties of feedback
controlled systems. Although their effects have been widely investigated and they occur in …

This paper proposes a delayed feedback control (DFC) based on the act-and-wait concept,
which reduces the dynamics of DFC systems to that of discrete-time systems. Based on this …

Time delay is a common phenomenon in robotic systems due to computational requirements
and communication properties between or within high-level and low-level controllers as well …

In this paper, the impedance control paradigm is used to design control algorithms for safe
human-robot collaboration. In particular, the problem of controlling a redundant robot …
