Mechatronics has evolved into a way of life in engineering practice, and indeed pervades
virtually every aspect of the modern world. As the synergistic integration of mechanical …

This paper presents a methodology for the development of control barrier functions (CBFs)
through a backstepping inspired approach. Given a set defined as the superlevel set of a …

Intelligent systems are a hallmark of modern feedback control systems. But as these systems
mature, we have come to expect higher levels of performance in speed and accuracy in the …

In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

In this paper, two different backstepping neural network (NN) control approaches are
presented for a class of affine nonlinear systems in the strict-feedback form with unknown …

Multivariable control techniques solve issues of complex specification and modelling errors
elegantly but the complexity of the underlying mathematics is much higher than presented in …

This paper addresses the dynamic surface control of uncertain nonlinear systems on the
basis of composite intelligent learning and disturbance observer in presence of unknown …

The authors address the tracking problem for a class of nonholonomic chained form control
systems. A recursive technique is proposed which appears to be an extension of the …

Series elastic actuators (SEAs) are known to offer a range of advantages over stiff actuators
for human–robot interaction, such as high force/torque fidelity, low impedance, and …

In this paper, the robust adaptive controller is investigated for the longitudinal dynamics of a
generic hypersonic flight vehicle. The proposed methodology addresses the issue of …
