Abstract: In real-world applications, time delays and uncertain nonlinearities are inevitable and impose significant challenges in modern control systems. The uncertainties commonly include nonlinear ...

Abstract: Rural regions in sub-Saharan Africa frequently face the challenge of energy outage. This unstable availability of energy affects the activities of micro-enterprises generally owned by women ...

This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

Ballbots are versatile robotic systems with the ability to move around in all directions. This makes it tricky to control their movement. In a recent study, a team has proposed a novel proportional ...

The proposed controller for ballbot devices enhances the adaptability to dynamic environments via self-learning and self-adjusting characteristics. Ballbot is a unique kind of robot with great ...

In a previous article by the authors, “Deadtime compensation opportunities and realities,” evidence showed how simple implementation of deadtime compensation improves loop performance over and above ...

translation_kp The proportional gain for the translation PID controller. Controls how strongly the robot reacts to translation errors. translation_ki The integral gain for the translation PID ...

There are no industry-wide standards for PID controllers. However, robust and optimal control of process loops requires PID controllers to have certain abilities and features described here. There are ...
