joint flexibility is a very important factor to consider in the controller design for robot manipulators if high performance is expected. most of the research works on control of flexible-joint robots in literature have ignored the actuator dynamics to avoid complexity in controller design. the problem of designing nonlinear controller for a class of single-link flexible-joint robot manipulator...

In this paper, a high-performance optimal fractional emotional intelligent controller for an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) in power system using Cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) is proposed. AVR is the main controller within the excitation system that preserves the terminal voltage of a synchronous generator at a specified level. The proposed control strategy is based on brain emotional ...

The ship main engine speed control system is a typical nonlinear system and it is uncertain characteristics, It is influenced by the wind, wave, flow etc. So it is difficulted to designed the diesel engine mathematical model. This paper presents a nonlinear mathematical model of ship main engine. Because the active disturbance rejection controller does not depend on the mathematical model of th...

the interline power flow controller (ipfc) is a concept of the facts controller for series compensation which can inject a voltage with controllable magnitude and phase angle among multi lines. this paper proposes a novel ipfc-based damping neuro-control scheme using pso for damping oscil la t i o ns in a power system to improve power system stability. the add i tion of a supplementary controll...

Abstract SRAM and DRAM memory technologies have been dominant in the implementations of subsystems. In recent years, mainly driven by huge demands big data applications, NVRAM technology has emerged as a denser technology, enabling design new hybrid DRAM/NVRAM hierarchies that combine multiple media to balance capacity, latency, cost, endurance. Two main approaches are being applied hierarchies...

in previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. the controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main issue ...

In this paper, stabilization of the structural system against earthquake is presented. Because the conventional PD controller is popular and simple in design, our controller is based on PD controller. The main problem of such a controller is its inability to produce desired response and instability against variations in the properties of the structural system. To obviate this issue, the neu...

In this paper, an observer based fuzzy adaptive controller (FAC) is designed fora class of large scale systems with non-canonical non-affine nonlinear subsystems. It isassumed that functions of the subsystems and the interactions among subsystems areunknown. By constructing a new class of state observer for each follower, the proposedconsensus control method solves the problem of unmeasured sta...
