The adverse impacts of communication errors are effectively reduced by a novel delay compensation scheme, where the feedback signal and the control command are compensated in each control period in the central controller and the swing motor driver, respectively, without requiring additional network bandwidth. The recursive least-squares algorithm with forgetting factor algorithm is employed to identify the time-varying model parameters due to pose variation, and a reverse correction law is embedded into the feedback compensation in consecutive packet dropout scenarios to overcome the impacts of the model error. Simulations and practical experiments are conducted. The results show that the proposed fault-tolerant strategy can effectively reduce the communication-error-induced overshoot and response time variation.展开更多

However, most existing controllers can only yield ultimate uniform boundedness or asymptotical stability results for the system's equilibrium point, and the state variables' convergence time cannot be theoretically guaranteed. To address these problems, a nonlinear sliding mode-based controller is suggested to accurately drive the boom/rope to their desired positions. Simultaneously, payload swing can be eliminated rapidly with sea waves. As we know, this paper firstly presents a controller by introducing error-related bounded functions into a sliding surface, which can realize boom/rope positioning within a finite time, and both controller design and analysis based on the nonlinear dynamics are implemented without any linearization manipulations. Moreover, the stability analysis is theoretically ensured with the Lyapunov method. Finally, we employ some experiments to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.展开更多

Looking into the mirror of ourselves, we bring evolution itself to the mirror, which, without blinking, looks with the eye of a frightened gazelle-incredulously-temptingly. Swinging it with a blow to a blow, taking a lunge and reflecting as the shine of slided comet, translating outrage into joy, the most closed resonant system-consciousness works. It is important not to miss any “punch”(knock/sound/word) that is thrown into your consciousness, so that the sound of the universe (and it is she who sends impulses of understanding) turns into improvisation of your own thinking-becoming a landing from “personal Idaho state”, so that the “muscles” of consciousness pumping iron-training do not sleep like a big earthworm that digested fast food (alimentary, cultured), being content with very little and chafing to empty, in order to work, interpreting what is happening near and around you, and comprehend creatively. The cohesion of eidos is so great that thought literally gains weight-you not only get tired quickly in the process of any “thinking”, but you feel that literally the world with weights hangs in your pockets, throwing a couple of blocks with houses and household on your shoulders. And this is all a consequence of the cohesion and microcoupling of all perceptions that revolve in your mind, touching them democratically: with fluids, resonating with waves of meanings, retransmitting impulses of images, and swaddling with the resulting introjections as by current-already according to Maxwell.
