This study presents a disturbance torque observer-based variable impedance control
method to mitigate the disturbance force acting on the 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) …

Based on the Szirtes' modern dimensional analysis (MDA), the authors apply the theory to a
real structure in order to validate by experimental measurements its applicability. After a …

Compliant variable-diameter mechanisms enable adaptation of variable-diameter wheels to
both road and soft terrain. Conventional compliant variable-diameter mechanisms, in which …

This paper investigates secure control of Networked Inverted Pendulum Visual Servo
Systems (NIPVSSs) based on Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC). Firstly …

This paper introduces a novel design and static optimization for a two-degrees-of-freedom
transformable wheel based on a geared linkage mechanism. Overcoming obstacles …

In this paper, a nonlinear controller (TR) for an inverted pendulum using the trigonometric
function is presented. The TR controller is a new proposal, which is represented by a simple …

The paper studies, experimentally and numerically, the fire behavior of some structural
elements of symmetric-tubular (rectangular in this study) shapes using modern dimensional …

Adaptation of morphology in response to varying environments is a crucial feature seen in
biological organisms. While some robots emulate adaptability through the use of adaptive …

In recent years, there has been a growing demand for indoor service robots for various
purposes such as serving, guiding, and delivery. These indoor service robots are used in the …
