Fast urbanization and climate change require innovative systems for an efficient movement
of people and goods in cities. As trends towards vehicle-sharing, autonomous vehicles, and …

In this paper, an extreme-learning-machine (ELM)-based robust integral terminal sliding
mode (ITSM) control scheme is developed for a bicycle robot (BR) to achieve balancing …

In this paper, the modelling of a reaction wheel bicycle robot (RWBR) is identified from a
second-order mathematical model which is similar to an inverted pendulum, and an …

Tracking control is a fundamentally important issue for robot and motor systems, where
smooth velocity commands are desirable for safe and effective operation. In this paper, a …

Accurate detection of the danger of an impending rollover is necessary in order to effectively
use active vehicle rollover prevention. A real-time rollover index is an indicator used for this …

This paper presents a controller-design methodology for a class of underactuated
mechanical systems that are affected by parametric uncertainties and external disturbances …

As society faces global challenges such as population growth and climate change,
rethinking cities is now more imperative than ever. The design of cities can not be abstracted …

A control moment gyroscope (CMG) is capable of generating strong restoration torque with a
relatively small-sized flywheel by changing the direction of flywheel momentum. Because …

A major issue in the automatic guidance of vehicles is the design of control laws dedicated
to the specific mobile platform used. Thus, if the model associated with the mobile platform …

In this paper, nonlinear control techniques are exploited to balance an unmanned bicycle
with enlarged stability domain. We consider two cases. For the first case when the …
