Accurate pattern transfer in wafer scanners necessitates the wafer stage and the reticle
stage executing a coordinated motion with the synchronization error in terms of nanometers …

To effectively control the drilling of a hydraulic roofbolter is of importance because
inappropriate rotary speed may lead to the collapse of roof in a roadway. Two difficulties …

In gantry systems, load usually moves according to different production tasks. The
continuous change of the beam centroid position is a non-negligible factor for achieving …

Endoscopes provide views inside the patient's body during minimally invasive surgery.
Although various robotic endoscopes have been developed to reduce surgeons' workload in …

As a typical mechatronics system, dual drive gantry stage has been widely used in high-end

This article investigates the trajectory tracking problem of underactuated mechanical
systems (UMSs) with companion nonholonomic servo constraints and uncertainties. For …

In this paper, a novel gain-scheduled sliding-mode-type (SM-type) iterative learning (IL)
control approach is proposed for the high-precision trajectory tracking of mechanical …

For high-precision contouring tasks in a typical Cartesian motion system, multiaxis
cooperation is a long-standing challenging issue. Inevitably, various factors pose substantial …

To achieve accurate contour tracking of robotic manipulators with system uncertainties,
