In this paper, the enhancement of vehicle stability and handling is investigated by control of the active geometry suspension system (AGS). This system could be changed through control of suspension mounting point’s position in the perpendicular direction to wishbone therefore the dynamic is alternative and characteristics need to change. For this purpose, suitable controller needs to change...

This paper introduces a robust task-space control scheme for a robotic system with an adaptive observer. The proposed approach does not require the availability of the system states and an adaptive observer is developed to estimate the state variables. These estimated states are then used in the control scheme. First, the dynamic model of a robot is derived. Next, an observer-based robust contr...

background: in recent years, the interest in relation to the identification of adaptive mechanisms through which people continue to improve their psychological well-being, despite the experience of chronic pain, has been observed. acceptance is one of these positive psychological factors. we aimed to investigate the effect of acceptance and commitment therapy for children with chronic pain on e...

Methods drawn from control theory { Generalised Predictive Control and self-tuning control { are brought together with methods drawn from Neural Networks { Local Model Networks and Modular Neural Networks { to give a multiple-model adaptive algorithm for the control of non-linear systems whose dynamics depend on an unknown external signal. The method overcomes the \stability-plasticity dilemma"...

This thesis is concerned with the control of highly uncertain systems. A formal theoretical explanation of the model-mismatch instability problem often associated with adaptive control design schemes is proposed, and a generic solution is provided. A primary task of adaptive control is formulated as finding an asymptotically optimal, stabilizing controller, given the feasibility of adaptive con...

Adaptive control is a very appealing technology, at least in principle. Yet its use has been conditioned by an attitude of distrustfulness on the part of some practitioners. In this paper, we explain why such distrustfulness is warranted, by reviewing a number of adaptive control approaches which have proved deficient for some reason that has not been immediately apparent. The explanation of th...
