Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Adaptive control for robotic manipulators have been developed in the last decade, and learning control design is still in its early development stages. Control system design is a critical step for robotic manipulator systems and their later development and applications. This Special Issue aims to bring researchers together to present the recent and latest advances and technologies in the field of adaptive and learning control system design for robotic manipulators in order to further summarize and improve the methodologies on this topic. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Adaptive control design for robotics
  • Model reference adaptive control design
  • Learning control design for robotics
  • Intelligent control system development for robotics
  • Advanced control system design for manufacturing
  • This call invites both theoretical and empirical studies on this topic.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Machines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

This work provides a multi-agent extension of output-feedback model reference adaptive control (MRAC), designed to synchronize a network of heterogeneous uncertain agents. The implementation of this scheme is based on multi-agent matching conditions. The practical advantage of the proposed MRAC is the possibility of handling the case of the unknown dynamics of the agents only by using the output and the control input of its neighbors. In addition, it is reasonable to consider the case when the communication topology is time-varying. In this work, the time-varying communication leads to a switching control structure that depends on the number of the predecessor of the agents. By using the switching control structure to handle the time-varying topologies, we show that synchronization can be achieved. The multi-agent adaptive switching controller is first analyzed, and numerical simulations based on formation control of simplifier quadcopter dynamics are provided. Full article
