Experimental Verification of Design Methods for Conventional PI/PID Controllers

The paper presents an experimental verification of conventional PI and PID controller design methods. Nine different synthesis techniques were used to control of airflow speed in laboratory model of hotair tunnel, most of them for both PI and PID version. In the first instance the controlled plant was identified in order to obtain a linear mathematical model and then the controllers were design...

Computer Methods for Design Automation

Design automation requires reliable methods for solving the equations describing the performance of the engineering system. While progress has been made to provide good algorithms for polynomial systems, we propose new techniques for the solution of general nonlinear algebraic systems. Moreover, the interval arithmetic approach we have chosen also guarantees numerical reliability. In this thesi...

Finger design automation for industrial robot grippers: A review

Designing robust end-effector plays a crucial role in performance of a robot workcell. Design automation of industrial grippers’ fingers/jaws is therefore of the highest interest in the robot industry. This paper systematically reviews the enormous studies performed in relevant research areas for finger design automation. Key processes for successfully achieving automatic finger design are iden...

On the Design of Underactuated Finger Mechanisms for Robotic Hands

The mechatronic design of robotic hands is a very complex task, which involves different aspects of mechanics, actuation, and control. In most of cases inspiration is taken by the human hand, which is able to grasp and manipulate objects with different sizes and shapes, but its functionality and versatility are very difficult to mimic. Human hand strength and dexterity involve a complex geometr...
