This article studies the finite-time tracking control problem for the single-link flexible-joint robot system with actuator failures and proposes an adaptive fuzzy fault-tolerant control strategy. More precisely, the issue of “explosion of compl…

This article proposes a navigation scheme for a wheeled robot in unknown environments. The navigation scheme consists of obstacle boundary following (OBF), target seeking (TS), and vertex point seeking (VPS) behaviors and a behavior supervisor. The OBF…

The robust iterative learning control (RILC) can deal with the systems with unknown time-varying uncertainty to track a repeated reference signal. However, the existing robust designs consider all the possibilities of uncertainty, which makes the desig…

This article focuses on flexible single-link manipulators (FSLMs) under boundary control and in-domain control. The actuators of the system include the dc motor at the end of the joint and $m$ piezoelectric controllers installed at the flexible link,…

In this article, by using the neural-networks (NNs) separation and approximation technique, an adaptive scheme is presented to deliver the prescribed tracking performance for a class of unknown nonaffine switched nonlinear time-delay systems. The nonaf…

This article considers the problem of finite-time (FT) tracking control for a class of uncertain multi-input–multioutput (MIMO) nonlinear systems with input backlash. A modified FT command filter is designed in each step of backstepping, which e…

When a flexible link manipulator lacks a joint motor, how to use the remaining motors to achieve the control objective is a challenge, and the research in this direction is limited. This article presents a tip position control and vibration suppression…

This article investigates the event-triggered output consensus problem for a class of unknown heterogeneous discrete-time linear multiagent systems in the presence of unmodeled dynamics. The agents have individual nominal dynamics with unknown paramete…
