Optimal dimensioning is a fundamental problem in the design of Parallel Manipulators
(PMs). However, this problem is revealed to be very hard to solve because many PM …

This article deals with the development and implementation of a novel feedforward super-
twisting sliding mode controller for robotic manipulators. A full stability analysis based on a …

There are hundreds of parallel robot designs, of these, some are suitable for fast material
transfer operations, others for precision positioning, or like Fanuc's hexapod, for …

The development of high-precision tasks, such as machining, needs a positioning device for
the cutting tool with the smallest possible error. Multiple design factors need to be …

Redundantly full-actuated parallel manipulator takes number of actuations exceeding its
degree of freedom, and actuation coordination makes its basis of stable operation. This …

This study addresses the tracking control problem of underwater vehicles using a new
robust observation-based control scheme. The advantages of the robust integral of the sign …

In this paper, a RISE (Robust Integral of the Sign Error) controller with adaptive feedforward
compensation terms based on Associative Memory Neural Network (AMNN) type B-Spline is …

In this paper, a new robust model-based super-twisting algorithm is proposed as a control
solution for parallel kinematic manipulators (PKMs). The conventional super-twisting …

In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive feedforward super-twisting sliding mode control
algorithm to resolve the tracking control problem of parallel manipulators. The proposed …

In this paper, a bio-inspired masticatory mechanism has been developed to reproduce the
chewing behaviors of human beings. It is a natural spatial parallel mechanism constrained …
