In order to improve the operation control performance of high-speed maglev trains, an improved finite-time rotor magnetic Field-Oriented Control method was proposed in this paper. Aiming at the stator current control problem of long-stator linear syn...

This paper proposes a distributed passivity-based control scheme for the consensus and vibration suppression of multiple space manipulators holding flexible beams. A space manipulator holding a flexible beam is essentially a rigid–flexible unde...

This paper proposes a prescribed performance tracking control scheme for a category of nonlinear stochastic time-delay systems with input saturation and state asymmetric time-varying constraints. First, to solve the non-differentiable problem caused...

Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) guarantees closed loop stability and desired steady state performance of dynamical systems without undue dependence upon their mathematical models. However, the applicability of MRAC may not be suitable for sys...

Rolling bearings, as critical components of rotating machinery, directly affect the reliability and efficiency of the system. Due to extended operation under high load, harsh environmental conditions, and continuous use, bearings become more suscepti...

The integration of neural networks into robotic exoskeletons for physical rehabilitation has become popular due to their ability to interpret complex physiological signals. Surface electromyography (sEMG), electromyography (EMG), electroencephalograp...

This paper considers the swarm confrontation problem for two teams of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). Different from most of the existing works where the two teams are identical, we consider the scenario of two heterogenous teams. In particular, one...

The vibration suppression of flexible robotic arms is challenging due to their nonlinear spatiotemporal dynamics. This paper presents a novel physics-informed neural network (PINN)-based input-shaping method for the vibration suppression problem. Thr...

Skid-steered technology has been widely applied to wheeled vehicles due to its advanced pivot steering capabilities and adaptable power transmission systems. To better understand the steering characteristics of skid-steered wheeled vehicles and deriv...

TEB (timed elastic band) can efficiently generate optimal trajectories that match the motion characteristics of car-like robots. However, the quality of the generated trajectories is often unstable, and they sometimes violate boundary conditions. The...
