High-precision motion control is highly desirable in process and industrial automation,
including the domains of machine tools, ultra-precision spindles, micro-manufacturing …

Robots are used for many manufacturing tasks, and its prevalence in manufacturing is ever-
increasing. Robots in future manufacturing are expected to be valuable and essential tools …

Robots with coordinated dual arms are able to perform more complicated tasks that a single
manipulator could hardly achieve. However, more rigorous motion precision is required to …

Many control methodologies have been applied to the motion control of linear motor drive
systems. Compensations of nonlinearities such as frictions and cogging forces have also …

A simple robust compliant-motion-control technique is presented for a robot manipulator with
nonlinear friction. The control technique incorporates both time-delay-estimation technique …

In this paper, we propose a modeling-free inversion-based iterative feedforward control
(MIIFC) approach for high-speed output tracking of single-input single-output linear time …

LuGre model has been widely used in dynamic friction modeling and compensation.
However, there are some practical difficulties when applying it to systems experiencing large …

The recent manufacturing trend toward mass customization and further personalization of
products requires factories to be smarter than ever before in order to:(1) quickly respond to …

The ever increasingly stringent performance requirements of modern mechanical systems
have forced control engineers to look beyond traditional linear control theory for more …

This paper presents a new compensation technique for dynamic friction. The proposed
control utilizes a PD control structure and an adaptive estimation of the friction force based …
