This paper addresses the problem of passivity analysis issue for a class of fuzzy bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with Markovian jumping parameters and time varying delays. A set of sufficient conditions for the passiveness of the considered fuzzy BAM neural network model is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities by using the delay fractioning technique together w...

Bilateral teleoperators, designed within the passivity framework using concepts of scattering and two-port network theory, provide robust stability against constant delay in the network and velocity tracking, but cannot guarantee position tracking in general. In this paper we fundamentally extend the passivity-based architecture to guarantee state synchronization of master/slave robots in free ...

By introducing sliding mode predictive control (SMPC) techniques, a controller with passivity of a class of discrete-time uncertain singular systems is proposed in this paper. A new switching surface function is designed by taking the singular matrix into account, thus the resulting sliding mode dynamics is a full-order uncertain singular time-varying delay system. Due to feedback correction an...

The paper addresses problems of analysis and control of spatial behavior of uncertain dynamical systems associated with properties of invariance and attractivity of smooth geometric objects (goal sets). The use of geometric control theory and inequalities of passivity allows one to reduce the problems to input-to-state stability with respect to part of the variables, construct Lyapunov-like sto...

In this paper, the passivity and passification problems are investigated for a class of uncertain stochastic fuzzy systems with time-varying delays. The fuzzy system is based on the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) model that is often used to represent the complex nonlinear systems in terms of fuzzy sets and fuzzy reasoning. To reflect more realistic dynamical behaviors of the system, both the parameter unc...

Servo applications (regulation and tracking) are an important class of tasks for robots. Robustness in a servo controller must be guaranteed when the robot manipulator operates in an uncertain environment to ensure the stability and performance in the presence of uncertain robot manipulator dynamics, objects to be manipulated by the robot, and obstacles to be avoid. Also, robots must have sensi...

Robust adaptive strict G-passification is considered for linear time-invariant systems with norm-bounded uncertainty. First, parameter-dependent static outputfeedback and robust static output-feedback are proved to be equivalent if hyper minimum phase properties are fulfilled. Linear matrix inequality based conditions are formulated for proving these properties for all uncertain parameters. The...

This paper considers the problem of robust passive control for uncertain discrete systems with time-varying delays. We pay attention to designing a state feedback controller which guarantees the passivity of the closed-loop system for all admissible uncertainties. In terms of a linear matrix inequality, a sufficient condition for the solvability of this problem is presented and the explicit exp...
