This paper proposes a nonlinear model predictive control (MPC) framework initialized using an initial-guess particle swarm optimization (IG-PSO) algorithm for mobile robots navigating in environments with nonconvex obstacles. The proposed method is d...

This work provides the first demonstration of FFTCCV as a dual-purpose method, serving both as a real-time diagnostic tool and as a phase- and morphology-engineering strategy. By adjusting the scan rate, FFTCCV directs the crystallographic evolution...

Control valves are widely applied in nuclear power, offshore oil/gas extraction, and chemical engineering, but suffer from issues like pressure oscillation, flow control accuracy degradation, and motor overload due to unstable fluid loads (e.g., nucl...

This article investigates the bipartite consensus control problem of general linear multiagent systems over an antagonistic interaction topology using a dynamic event-triggered mechanism. Primarily, for each agent, a distributed dynamic event-trigger...

Conventional underwater vehicles, which are typically equipped with oscillating fins or standard propellers, are incapable of effective locomotion within the viscous, high-resistance environment of muddy substrates common in agricultural ponds. To ad...

As a critical component in tunnel construction, the segment erector of shield tunneling machines critically influences segment assembly quality and construction efficiency, largely determined by its dual-cylinder synchronization control. Addressing c...

For multi-agent systems under Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks, a relative threshold strategy for event triggering and a state-constrained control method with prescribed performance are proposed. Within the framework of combining graph theory with the...

In this study, we introduce an advanced framework for state estimation in electro-hydraulic systems, utilizing a structurally adapted Kalman filter. The proposed model was designed to enhance estimation accuracy and robustness under dynamic load vari...

Hexaglide parallel manipulators are characterized by high accuracy and dynamic performance, which makes them suitable for industrial high-precision assembly tasks such as placement of electronic THT components on printed circuit boards. In this paper...

Micro-accelerometers are in high demand across many due to their compact size, low energy consumption, and excellent precision. Since gravity causes a large movement when the device is positioned vertically, measuring low gravitational acceleration i...
