This paper presents an online tuning rule-based adaptive control algorithm to control DC motor speed. For this, a method of recursive least squares with forgetting was proposed to approximate the relation between single ...

This paper describes the evaluation of the MyoWare Electromyographic (EMG) sensor performance during a typical end-use application to help determine if it could be used for an EMG-based controller of an upper-limb robotic ...

Pneumatic actuators are advantageous in terms of cost, power to weight ratio and inherent safety. However, their dynamics makes precise closed-loop position control very difficult in practice. Two sliding-mode control ...

This paper presents the mechanical design and mathematical modeling for the first joint of a five degrees of freedom collaborative manipulator. The robot is actuated using Magneto-Rheological (MR) clutches in order to ...

In this paper, a new model in augmented state space allowing for faster prediction of hydrogen peroxide decay rates is proposed. This information is important for the development of new hydrogen peroxide solutions used to ...

Interaural Intensity Difference (IID) in binaural sonar systems is used for echolocation and obstacle sensing. In this article, we show by simulation the optimized system’s parameters in terms of frequency, sensor separation ...

The current paper investigates two control methods for stabilizing a two-wheel inverted pendulum (TWIP) robot. It is well-known that the controller in the mobile robot plays a critical role in self-balancing and stabilizing. ...

In this paper we investigate the effects of stiffness, damping and temperature on the performance of a MEMS vibratory gyroscope. The stiffness and damping parameters are chosen because they can be appropriately designed ...

This paper studies estimation and control methods applied on a double-inverted pendulum. The most popular estimation strategy, referred to as the Kalman filter (KF), was programmed and implemented on a double-inverted ...

This paper introduces an adaptive yaw control scheme based on the estimation of the vehicle mass, yaw inertia and center of gravity (CG) position. The control deigns for three-axle road vehicles, which can be trucks, buses, ...
