Dynamic walking on bipedal robots has evolved from an idea in science fiction to a practical
reality. This is due to continued progress in three key areas: a mathematical understanding …

Robots are used for many manufacturing tasks, and its prevalence in manufacturing is ever-
increasing. Robots in future manufacturing are expected to be valuable and essential tools …

In this article, the state of the art on high-precision motion control techniques is surveyed by
referring to recent publications, mainly in the transactions and conferences of the …

A simple robust compliant-motion-control technique is presented for a robot manipulator with
nonlinear friction. The control technique incorporates both time-delay-estimation technique …

This paper presents a novel approach to the modeling and identification of elastic robot
joints with hysteresis and backlash. The model captures the dynamic behavior of a rigid …

The exoskeleton of the upper limb is an external parallel kinematic chain to the human arm.
The device is designed to apply a specific torque of interaction to the human body resulting …

The computerized numerical control machine tool is a highly integrated mechatronic system
in manufacturing processes. However, uncertainties degrade its motion accuracy. These …

Model-based control can provide high-accuracy performance over position-based or velocity-
based control. Therefore, to employ model-based control in industrial robots, it is important …

Robotic manipulators are highly coupled multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear systems
with uncertainties and highly time-varying dynamic capabilities. These characteristics make …

Hydraulic actuators convert fluid pressure into mechanical motion. They are widely used in
many industrial and aerospace applications due to their reliability, high speed, high force …
