An adaptive cruise control (ACC) system can reduce driver workload and improve safety by taking over the longitudinal control of vehicles. Nowadays, with the development of range sensors and V2X technology, the ACC system has been applied to curved c...
In this paper, fundamental research is performed on membrane type actuators made out of 316L stainless steel, manufactured with Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). A total of six membranes with membrane thicknesses ranging from 0.6 mm up to 1.2 mm were s...
Magnetoelectric (ME) effects in composite ferromagnet-piezoelectric (FM/PE) heterostructures realize the mutual transformation of alternating magnetic and electric fields, and are used to create magnetic field sensors, actuators, inductors, gyrators,...
This paper presents an interval type-2 fuzzy dynamic high type (IT2FDHT) control based on vector decoupling method for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) to improve the dynamic characteristics of the system. Firstly, to address the shortcoming...
Laser beams can fluctuate in four directions, which requires active compensation by a fast steering mirror (FSM) motion system. This paper deals with the design of four-degrees-of-freedom (DoF) compliant parallel manipulators, for responding to the r...
Electrostatic motors are promising forms of actuation for future robotic devices. The study of their different implementations should accelerate their adoption. Current models for resonant electrostatic induction motors were found not to be able to p...
Exoskeletons can assist the daily life activities of the elderly with weakened muscle strength, but traditional rigid exoskeletons bring parasitic torque to the human joints and easily disturbs the natural movement of the wearer’s upper limbs. Flexib...
In this paper, sliding mode tracking control and its chattering suppression method are investigated for flexible-joint robot manipulators with only state measurements of joint actuators. First, within the framework of singular perturbation theory, th...
With the growing popularity of Human–Robot Interactions, a series of robotic assistive devices have been created over the last decades. However, due to the lack of easily integrable resources, the development of these custom made devices turns out to...
Traffic congestion and the occurrence of traffic accidents are problems that can be mitigated by applying cooperative adaptive cruise control (CACC). In this work, we used deep reinforcement learning for CACC and assessed its potential to outperform...
