This study presents the design and performance evaluation of an adaptive control system for a biped robot with five degrees of freedom. The primary goal is to achieve stable and accurate control despite uncertainties in the robot’s dynamic para...

As the automotive industry continues to evolve rapidly, there is a growing demand for high-throughput reliable communication systems within vehicles. This paper presents the implementation and verification of a fault-tolerant Ethernet-based communica...

This study focuses on optimizing track and grouser structural parameters to enhance UATV drawbar pull, particularly under soft soil conditions. A numerical soil thrust model for single-track shoes was developed based on track–soil interaction m...

With the application of tracked mobile robots in detection and rescue, how to improve their stability and trafficability has become the research focus. In order to improve the driving ability and trafficability of tracked mobile robots in rugged terr...

Electromagnetic pneumatic microvalves, widely used in knitting machines, typically operate based on a spring-return mechanism. When the coil is energized, the electromagnetic force overcomes the spring force to attract the armature, opening the valve...

Model-based sensorless control of interior permanent-magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) typically employs an estimation observer with embedded position information, followed by a position extraction process. Although a type-2 phase-locked loop (PLL)...

The study of vibration characteristics and suppression methods in integrated electric drive systems of electric vehicles is of critical importance. To investigate these characteristics, both current harmonics within the motor and nonlinear factors wi...

Variable-thrust liquid rocket engines are essential for precision landing in deep-space exploration, reusable launch vehicle recovery, high-accuracy orbital maneuvers, and emergency obstacle evasions of space drones. However, with the increasingly co...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of electric field (E-field) mitigation in inductive power transfer (IPT) systems. It focuses on how distributed capacitor placement interacts with coil topology to influence E-field emissions. The study comp...

This study presents the state-feedback and output-feedback adaptive shared trajectory tracking control laws for nonlinear Euler–Lagrange systems subject to parametric uncertainties and output constraints framed within linear inequalities. The l...
