This article investigates a robust cooperative path following control algorithm for an
unmanned surface vessel and unmanned aerial vehicles (USV-UAVs) that releases the …

Crane swing & relevant vibration are critical safety and efficiency issues to be addressed in
construction automation, involving various disturbance and uncertainties. This paper …

Recently, with the development of the marine economy, marine risers have garnered
increasing attention as they present facile and reliable methods for oil and gas …

This study presents an adaptive inverse compensation control of a flexible single-link
manipulator with an unknown dead-zone and actuator faults. First, a dead-zone inverse …

A limited number of coupling-based works have been reported for stabilizing the overhead
crane subject to both parametric uncertainty and input saturation. Particularly, integral action …

This paper presents a passivity-based adaptive control method for a 5 degree-of-freedom
(DOF) tower crane that guarantees robust payload trajectory tracking. The 5-DOF tower …

This article proposes the design and verification of a novel barrier function (BF)-based
adaptive composite sliding mode control method dedicated to the multiple-inputs–multiple …

In this paper, we consider the application of the disturbance observer technique and
interconnection and dam** assignment passivity-based control to the disturbance …

In this paper, a novel periodic sliding mode control method is designed for 4-DOF tower
crane systems with unmatched disturbances as well as unknown/time-varying control …

This article is concerned with the global prescribed performance control (PPC) problem for
the fully interconnected nonlinear systems with nonparametric uncertainties and …
