Instead of confining the player to a single role, the active participator model positions the player in a more flexible position towards the fictional gameworld: involved and immersed in its various events without being limited to one role. The research project Common Tales explores this model in a serial game structure that stages the flexible relationship between the two game heroes. Players ...

A novel accurate tracking controller is developed for the longitudinal dynamics of Hypersonic Flight Vehicles (HFVs) in presence large model uncertainties, external disturbances and actuator nonlinearities. Distinct from state-of-the-art, besides being continuity, no restrictive conditions have been imposed on HFVs dynamics. The system uncertainties are skillfully handled by seen as bounded “di...

For the safe and smooth robot-assisted healthcare task execution, real-time motion tracking controls compliant physical human–robot interactions are concurrently important control objectives. In this work, uncertainty disturbance estimator (UDE)-based robust region controller for a robot manipulator is developed. The regional feedback error derived from potential function to drive end-effector ...

This article presents a simulation study to control a human arm motion using muscle excitations as inputs. Our simulation implements the musculoskeletal model Arm26 provided in OpenSim which has 2 DOF and 6 muscles as actuators. First, in order to drive the limbs’ motion to track a desired trajectory, we propose an Adaptive Sliding Mode Controller (ASMC) to compute the necessary driving moments...

Transient stability problem for a single machine infinite bus system with the generator excitation and thyristor controlled series compensation when damping coefficients are measured inaccurately is investigated. A robust coordinated passivation controller is designed to achieve the stability of the rotor angle and speed. The excitation voltage control is obtained by means of adaptive back-step...

In this paper, adaptive control is extended from real space to complex space, resulting in a new control scheme for a class of n-dimensional time-dependent strict-feedback complex-variable chaotic (hyperchaotic) systems (CVCSs) in the presence of uncertain complex parameters and perturbations, which has not been previously reported in the literature. In detail, we have developed a unified frame...

This paper presents a novel methodology to deal with the problem of trajectory tracking in WMR. This new approach uses the dynamic model of WMR and allows perfect velocities tracking. Generally, the classic control approaches applied to the dynamic model of the robot solve the problem of trajectory tracking in two stages. In the first one is designed a controller that ensures the perfect tracki...
