This paper introduces a method of design and implementation of a two-wheeled inverted pendulum (TWIP) robot with friction compensation. Friction in the drive mechanism is a critical factor of robot self-balancing and affects its performance. The friction parameters are identified based on the dynamic model of the drive mechanism. The dynamics of the whole robot system are obtained by the Lagran...

Coupled human balancing tasks are investigated based on both pseudoneural controllers characterized by time-delayed feedback with random gain and natural human balancing tasks. It is shown numerically that, compared to single balancing tasks, balancing tasks coupled by mechanical structures exhibit enhanced stability against balancing errors in terms of both amplitude and velocity and also impr...

We consider the direct application of balancing techniques to unstable periodic systems by extending the balancing concepts to arbitrary periodic systems. We extend first the balancing concepts to unstable discrete-time systems by defining the reachability and observability grammians from appropriate right and left coprime factorizations with inner denominators. Further, we extend this new bala...

Natural selection is expected to leave distinctive signatures on patterns of neutral variation that are tightly linked to a site carrying an advantageous mutation. This notion is the basis for molecular population genetics approaches to the analysis of adaptations in the human genome. In principle, this is an attractive prospect; in practice, several complications and challenges make it difficu...

Load balancing middleware is used extensively to improve scalability and overall system throughput in distributed systems. Many load balancing middleware services are simplistic, however, since they are geared only for specific usecases and environments. These limitations make it hard to use the same load balancing service for anything other than the distributed application it was designed for ...

the task of balancing of assembly lines is well-known in mass production system but this problem is np-hard even for the simple straight line. therefore, utilizing heuristic methods for these problems is totally unquestionable. furthermore, in line with balancing problems, heuristic methods are the foundation of the metaheuristic methods, thus it seems to be necessary to use more efficient heur...
