Designing autonomous robotic systems able to manipulate deformable objects without
human intervention constitutes a challenging area of research. The complexity of …

This article investigates the cooperative control of complex nonlinear multiagent systems
(CNMASs), in which the agents suffer from nonaffine faults and the control directions of …

This paper discusses a nonlinear direct joint control scheme for manipulation of a flexible
payload by a single-arm system with disturbances, parametric uncertainty and output …

In this paper, we present two-time scale control design for trajectory tracking of two
cooperating planar rigid robots moving a flexible beam, which does not require vibration …

In this study, a sliding mode controlled dual arm robotic system was designed. Such multi-
arm, collaborative and synchronous robots typically are employed in hazardous situations …

Impedance Control imposes a desired behavior on a single manipulator interacting with its
environment. The Multiple Impedance Control (MIC) enforces a designated impedance on …

Robotic dual-arm twisting is a common but very challenging task in both industrial
production and daily services, as it often requires dexterous collaboration, a large scale of …

The key issue in on-orbit manipulation is to transport large flexible modules to pre-assembly
position accurately. However, the cooperative manipulation by a team of space robots can …

This paper addresses the cooperative output feedback control of a mobile dual flexible
manipulator, which is mounted at a moving platform to grasp and move a rigid object. We …

The use of robots has been rapidly spreading in different daily applications. The transport of
liquids by robot arms without causing any slosh is one of such applications which has …
