Material removal rates of machine tools are mainly limited by chatter, which is caused by the
machine's most flexible structural modes. Active damping of the structural modes requires …

We integrated a force/torque sensor into the wrist of the Master Tool Manipulator (MTM) of
the da Vinci Standard Surgical system. The added sensor can be used to monitor the …

This study presents a combined feedback–feedforward adaptive regulator applied to an
active vibration control tool holder platform to contain the effect of machining vibrations. The …

This paper presents a method to identify the dynamic mechanical properties of soft not self-
supporting viscoelastic materials at high frequencies using sandwich beams. The motivation …

In this article, we present the novel hardware and software architecture of a smart optical
force–torque sensor. The proposed configurable, modular, and compact electronics lead to …

In this study, a novel dynamic contour error compensation technique has been proposed for
the elliptical vibration cutting process achieved through the ultra-precision amplitude control …

In this article, we present a novel six-axis optical sensor that employs pairs of light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) and bicell photodetectors, and corresponding slits that modulate the …

This paper presents a gain-scheduling (GS) robust control strategy using the interpolation
approach for ball screw drives while guaranteeing the system stability in the operating …

This article presents a spindle system with an active bearing support for which the author
proposed a control system based on a PID controller. This type of solution improves the …

In this thesis, precision modeling, multivariable system identification, and advanced motion
control techniques are developed in order to improve the positioning accuracy and …
