Due to the recent trend of the application of robots and other mechatronic devices to human
life support, the force control draws more attention than ever. However, to use force sensors …

This paper proposes a sensor-less robust force control method for improving the control
performance of an electro-mechanical brake (EMB) which is applicable to commercial city …

This paper proposes a practical and effective disturbance attenuation control algorithm to
support the safe and comfortable operation of power-assist wheelchairs. The power-assist …

This paper proposes a method to assist human force acting on electric bike without using
costly torque sensors via a model-based impedance control technique. In general, electric …

In large-scale factories and warehouses, power-assisted carts are effective in transporting
cargo to reduce the burden on workers. Herein, we developed a force-sensorless power …

This paper generalizes the structure of Force-Sensor-less Power Assist Control (FSPAC)
which is a essential technology to design a feedback controller in a human-friendly way …

This paper describes a power assisting control with human following function for robotic
wheelchair. In our past research, visual feedback control of the wheelchair has been …

Up to now, numerous electric-powered wheelchairs (EPWs) have been developed for the
disabled and the elderly. Among these EPWs, the traditional attendant-propelled power …

A power assisted wheelchair combines human power, which is delivered by the arms
through the pushrims, with electrical motors, which are powered by a battery. Todays electric …

This paper suggests a robust tension control method based on a disturbance observer for
the roll to roll winding equipment. In roll to roll system, maintaining the constant tension is …
