this paper discusses a temporal finite element description in the analysis of dynamics of mechanical systems, with a special emphasis on problems where target control is desired. this is defined as a situation where forces are sought for the movement of a structure from an initial to one or more specified target states. the primary applications lie in robotics and in bio-mechanical forward simulations of musculoskeletal systems. A temporal discretization of the movement and forces is introduced. By interpolating simultaneously displacements and velocities in the spatial discrete degrees of freedom, a collocation over the time interval can be used to decide the necessary system. the needed control can be optimized for chosen criteria on the integrated force components. the temporal interpolation of control forces and discrete displacements introduces a degree of continuity in the obtained results. the viewpoint allows variation of many aspects of problem formulation, and leads to efficient solutions for systems of high complexity but moderate size.

this paper addresses the stabilization problem of time-varying delay systems subject to actuator saturation. A novel class of Lyapunov functional with a nonlinear metric is developed to guarantee that there exists a Lyapunov-Razumikhin function that strictly decreases for the controlled system. Such a nonlinear metric is parameterized by a multi-dimensional Taylor network with concise topology, which brings into the high-order dynamic information and guarantees real-time performance. A sum-of-squares programming approach based on the designed Lyapunov functional is formulated to deduce the stability criteria, which maximizes the estimate of the region of attraction and ensures the uniform asymptotic stability of the closed-loop system theoretically. A numerical example demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed stabilization control scheme.

Parallel manipulator (PM) become popular in industrial application over serial manipulator owing to the higher accuracy, fast response and rigidity. In the present study electrohydraulic two degree of freedom (2DOF) PM is considered for study the control performance. Apart from measurement and sensor error parallel manipulator may experienced structural error, which may cause of joint clearance. Lab. scale 2DOF PM has been considered structural error analysis due to joint clearance. Further, a model free self-tuning fuzzy-PID-bias (F-PID-B) controller has been developed for control of the orientation of the top platform of PM. the controller performance has been studied for combined sinusoidal heave and pitch demand. the robustness of the controller has been tested under various demand and different external load. F-PID-B controller has shown the ability to handle external load disturbances with measurement uncertainty and system nonlinearity using a low cost proportional valve controlled hydraulically actuated PM.

the multi-robot application is becoming more critical in achieving complex collaborative tasks. this requires an efficient multi-agent robot system that supports distributed tasks, time and energy consumption. One of the developing control methods is the broadcast control framework. We found that variants of broadcast control techniques were validated on simulation only and lacked experimental work. therefore, this paper focus on the experimental investigation of a variant of the broadcast control framework. To create a similar environment to the application, we developed the system using Raspberry Pi, AlphaBots, a webcam, and Bluetooth as the central controller, robots, visual tracking, and wireless communication. We successfully validated the system in an indoor environment. the experimental finding shows the travelling trajectory of the robots differs from the MATLAB simulation results. Nonetheless, the broadcast control framework system was able to achieve the final target accurately. this paper provides implementation details and challenges for future research and development of a broadcast control framework. We propose to include obstacle avoidance in robots as a new study direction.

this paper proposes a vision technique for a flying vehicle, particularly helicopter, to land autonomously and shows the simulation of autonomous landing of helicopter. Vision system uses uncalibrated Stereovision and works as an "online motion planner" or "task execution controller" for the helicopter landing system.

this paper presents experimental demonstration and verification of a vision-based stratified motion planning method for the case where the base manifold upon which the motion planning occurs is not smooth. Robotic applications of the method include motion planning for legged robotics over non-smooth (but known) terrain and manipulation of non-smooth objects with multiple robotic manipulators. Experimental results with multiple robots manipulating a common non-smooth object is presented.
In this paper, we show how a two-parameter compensator can always be designed for any Linear Time Invariant (LTI) plant, that does not have a zero at the origin, to render its step response non-overshooting.

In this paper, we report on our use of cloud-robotics solutions to teach a robotics Applications Programming course at Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW). the usage of Kubernetes based cloud computing environment combined with real robots - turtlebots and Niryo arms - allowed us to: 1) minimize the set up times required to provide a Robotic Operating System (ROS) simulation and development environment to all students independently of their laptop architecture and OS;2) provide a seamless "simulation to real" experience preserving the exciting experience of writing software interacting withthe physical world;and 3) sharing GPUs across multiple student groups, thus using resources efficiently. We describe our requirements, solution design, experience working withthe solution in the educational context and areas where it can be further improved. this may be of interest to other educators who may want to replicate our experience.

the shearer is a most important tool for coal mining. the task of horizontal control of shearer is to make drum track the coal-rock interface accurately in order to improve recovery. A neural network adaptive controller combined with PID is presented considering nonlinear and uncertainty of the electro-hydraulic servo system used for horizontal control. the neural network is trained on-line withthe reference signal and the feedback error. Feedback-error-learning scheme is employed to keep the stability of system as well as a short learning time. Simulation and experiment on the hybrid of neural network and PID controller are presented. the results show satisfactory performance of the controller.
