In this paper, a constant speed control of slider-crank mechanisms for machine tools is proposed. A joint-task space hybrid controller based on second-order sliding mode and time-base generator was used to guarantee trajectory tracking complete turn the mechanism crank. switching criterion implemented in order avoid singularities located at two extreme positions slider stroke. trapezoidal profi...

Recent advancements in constrained kinematic control make it an attractive strategy for controlling robots with arbitrary geometry challenging tasks. Most of the current works assume that robot model is precise enough task at hand. However, increasing demands and safety requirements robotic applications, there a need controller compensates online inaccuracies. We propose adaptive based on quadr...

This short memo aims at explaining our approach for the challenge IEEE-ISBI on Bone Texture Characterization. In this work, we focus on the use of covariance matrices and wavelet marginals in an SVM classifier.

In the present paper, a new 2-D Van der Polstructural oscillator model is introduced for the vortex induced vibrations of circular cylinders.The main purpose of this task is to control the recently introduced model by means of modern control definitions in state space. In order to control the system, the whole model is linearized about its equilibrium point by deriving state-space matrices. The...
