Attitude estimation and control of a ducted fan VTOL UAV
(2007)A significant area of current research is to develop aircraft which are unmanned. More specifically, some researchers are focusing on hovering type aircraft, or vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft. Since these ... -
Attitude stabilization of a quadrotor aircraft
(2004)The quadrotor aircraft has seen a growing interest in the research community over the past few years, with a focus on modeling and control however. Early rotating wing aircraft pioneers designed similar four-rotor aircraft ... -
Congestion and admission control in WDM optical networks
(2006)The demand for more communication bandwidth and network resources, has pushed researchers to find faster and more reliable data communication networks. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) is a promising technology to ... -
Design of a 6-DOF haptic interface for robotic teleoperation
(2008)Teleoperation has become increasingly important in medical applications, handling hazardous materials, as well as in other robotics applications. Force feedback in such systems is essential; therefore a haptic device is ... -
Experimental evaluation of some classical and adaptive iterative learning control schemes on a 5DOF robot manipulator
(2004)In many process industries (e.g., VLSI production lines, Automotive industries, IC welding process, inspections, manipulations), robot manipulators are used to perform the same tasks repeatedly over a finite time interval. ... -
Integrated mechanisms for QoS and restoration in mesh transport networks
(2007)Survivable networks have the capability to survive from the events of network components failures. The resilience mechanisms in these networks protect and restore the impaired communication paths by using spare capacity. ... -
Intelligent systems for active vibration control in flexible engineering structures / by Ji Xiaoxu.
(2008)Vibration arises in almost all moving structures. Vibration control is important to many applications such as robotic arms, aircraft wings, buildings in wind, vehicle transmission systems,to name but a few. The objective ... -
Iterative learning control for robot manipulators
(2004)When a system is performing the same task repeatedly it is, from an engineering perspective, advantageous to use the knowledge from the previous iterations of the same task in order to reduce the error on successive ... -
Observer-based chaos synchronization for secure communications
(2006)Chaos, with reference to chaos theory, refers to an apparent lack of order in a system that, nevertheless, obeys particular laws or rules. The chaotic signals generated by chaotic systems have some properties such as ... -
Pulsatile flow interaction with a stented artery : compliance mismatch effects
(2007)Atherosclerosis is a group of diseases characterized by thickening of the arterial wall resulting in a reduction in the cross-sectional area of the lumen. One of treatments for these artery diseases is stent angioplasty. ... -
Robust and adaptive control via backstepping technique
(2005)Most of the control systems are designed using linear techniques, which have been well developed. Practical physical systems are typically nonlinear. Nonlinear control is one of the biggest challenges in modern control ... -
Vision-based trajectory tracking algorithm with obstacle avoidance for a wheeled mobile robot
(2005)Wheeled mobile robots are becoming increasingly important in industry as means of transportation, inspection, and operation because of their efficiency and flexibility. The design of efficient algorithms for autonomous ...
