Abstract. In teleoperation tasks, communication delays between master and slave sides negatively affect the stability and transparency of closed loop system, and make it difficult to maintain a desired contact force. In order to improve the performance of contact force control in teleoperation under large time delays, a shared compliant control method is proposed in this paper. On the master si...

This note puts forward a parametrization of all stabilizing two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) controllers for (possibly unstable) processes with dead-time. The proposed parametrization is based on a doubly coprime factorization of the plant and takes the form of a generalized Smith predictor (dead-time compensator) feedback part and a finitedimensional feedforward part (prefilter). Some alternative ...

We correct an error in Algorithm 2 from [1].

A new method for robust fixed-order H∞ controller design for uncertain time-delayed MIMO systems is presented. It is shown that the H∞ robust performance condition can be represented by a set of convex constraints with respect to the parameters of a linearly parameterized primary controller in the Smith predictor structure. Therefore, the parameters of the primary controller can be obtained by ...
