Automation aims to standardize industrial operations and bring overall efficiency to today’s production lines. Such gains, however, may come with considerable effort, as engineering teams must ...

Author Dr. R. Russell Rhinehart discusses his new book, Nonlinear Model-Based Control: Using First-Principles Models in Process Control, and explains why nonlinear first-principles models should be ...

The study presents an intelligent, model-free current control strategy that eliminates the need for explicit plant models while efficiently reducing the effect of plant parameter perturbation. By ...

The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) systems with unmeasurable variables, output constraints, time-varying disturbances, and uncertain dynamics can hardly be modelled well, such that ...

(A) 3D model of the manipulator structure, consisting of 3 continuum segments. The manipulator operates in the plane. (B) Close-up view of the revolute joint between adjacent disks. (C) Diagram ...
