Model-based control of soft robots: A survey of the state of the art and open challenges

C Della Santina, C Duriez, D Rus - IEEE Control Systems …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
From a functional standpoint, classic robots are not at all similar to biological systems. If
compared with rigid robots, animals' bodies look overly redundant, imprecise, and weak …

[BOOK][B] Stability and stabilization of infinite dimensional systems with applications

ZH Luo, BZ Guo, Ö Morgül - 2012 - books.google.com
The time evol11tion of many physical phenomena in nat11re can be de scribed by partial
differential eq11ations. To analyze and control the dynamic behavior of s11ch systems …

Not all feedback stabilized hyperbolic systems are robust with respect to small time delays in their feedbacks

R Datko - SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 1988 - SIAM
We present two examples of hyperbolic partial differential equations which are stabilized by
boundary feedback controls and then destabilized by small delays in these controls. We …

[BOOK][B] Mathematical control theory of coupled PDEs

I Lasiecka - 2002 - SIAM
These lectures are an outgrowth of recent research in the area of control theory for systems
governed by coupled partial differential equations (PDEs). While mathematical control …

Prediction of oil flow rate through orifice flow meters: Optimized machine-learning techniques

M Farsi, HS Barjouei, DA Wood, H Ghorbani… - Measurement, 2021 - Elsevier
Flow measurement is an essential requirement for monitoring and controlling oil movements
through pipelines and facilities. However, delivering reliably accurate measurements …

On the stabilization of a flexible beam with a tip mass

F Conrad, Ö Morgül - SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 1998 - SIAM
We study the stability of a flexible beam that is clamped at one end and free at the other; a
mass is also attached to the free end of the beam. To stabilize this system we apply a …

Stabilization of Bernoulli--Euler beams by means of a pointwise feedback force

K Ammari, M Tucsnak - SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2000 - SIAM
We study the energy decay of a Bernoulli--Euler beam which is subject to a pointwise
feedback force. We show that both uniform and nonuniform energy decay may occur. The …

Dynamic boundary control of a Euler-Bernoulli beam

O Morgul - IEEE Transactions on automatic control, 1992 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A flexible beam, clamped to a rigid base at one end and free at the other end is considered.
To stabilize the beam vibrations, a dynamic boundary force control and a dynamic boundary …

Boundary output tracking for an Euler–Bernoulli beam equation with unmatched perturbations from a known exosystem

FF **, BZ Guo - Automatica, 2019 - Elsevier
In this paper, we consider boundary output regulation for an Euler–Bernoulli beam equation
which can describe typically the flexible arm of robots. The reference signal and disturbance …

Vibration control of an axially moving string by boundary control

SY Lee, CD Mote Jr - 1996 - asmedigitalcollection.asme.org
The stabilization of the transverse vibration of an axially moving string is implemented using
time-varying control of either the boundary transverse motion or the external boundary …
