Proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers are the most adopted controllers in
industrial settings because of the advantageous cost/benefit ratio they are able to provide …

Nanotechnology is the science of understanding matter and the control of matter at
dimensions of 100 nm or less. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering, and …

Command sha** is an important open-loop control method for improving the settling time
and positioning accuracy. This technique also minimizes residual vibrations. Shaped …

This paper proposes an improved unity magnitude zero vibration (UMZV) shaper for payload
sway reduction of an underactuated 3D overhead crane with hoisting effects. The proposed …

Single-track hard disk drive (HDD) seek performance is measured by settle time, t s. In this
paper, we show the effective use of feedforward dynamic inversion, coupled with reference …

Control of Integral Processes with Dead Time provides a unified and coherent review of the
various approaches devised for the control of integral processes, addressing the problem …

A methodology is proposed to control the transient sway and residual oscillation of a
payload carried by an overhead crane. The design approach is based on a linearised model …

In this paper, we present a high-speed pick-and-place method for cell-assembly
applications. In addition to the range of motion and accuracy, the agility of a manipulation …

In this paper we present the application of an input-output inversion technique for the open-
loop control of an overhead crane modelled as a double pendulum. The method is …

In this paper, we propose a novel minimum-energy point-to-point (PTP) trajectory planning
method for a motor-toggle servomechanism, which is described by the mathematical model …
