چکیده

This paper presents a discrete-time decentralized control scheme for trajectory tracking of a two degrees of freedom (DOF) robot manipulator. A high order neural network (HONN) is used to approximate a decentralized control law designed by the backstepping technique as applied to a block strict feedback form (BSFF). The weights for each neural network are adapted online by an extended Kalman filter training algorithm. The motion for each joint is controlled independently using only local angular position and velocity measurements. The stability analysis for the closed-loop system via the Lyapunov approach is included. Finally, the real-time results show the feasibility of the proposed control scheme robot manipulator.

Mechanical Properties of Single Carbon Nanofibers Grown on Tips of Scanning Probe Microscopy Cantilevers by Ion Irradiation

Single carbon nanofibers (CNFs) grown on the tips of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) cantilevers by Arþ irradiation attract much attention, because of their potential in the batch fabrication of CNF probes. Here, we first revealed their mechanical characteristics. An excellent flexibility of CNF probes was confirmed by hard-contact examination (force-curve measurement) in which the cantilever w...

High-Yield Assembly of Individual Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Tips for Scanning Probe Microscopies

The structural and mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) make them ideal tips for scanning probe microscopies such as atomic force microscopy (AFM). However, the ideal nanotube probe, which corresponds to an individual SWNT, has been difficult to produce in high yield. To overcome this difficulty, a straightforward and easily implemented method that enables very high-y...

Effect of hydrofluoric acid concentration and etching time on the surface roughness of CAD/CAM ceramics

Introduction: Dental ceramics are considered as materials that can restore the appearance of natural teeth. Etching the inner surface of a ceramic restoration with hydrofluoric acid (HF) followed by using a silane coupling agent is a well-known and recommended method to increase the bond strength. The aim of etching on ceramic structure is to enhance the surface roughness (Ra) and energy and to...

Oxidative stabilization of polyacrylonitrile nanofibers and carbon nanofibers containing graphene oxide (GO): a spectroscopic and electrochemical study

In this study, a precursor for carbon nanofibers (CNF) was fabricated via electrospinning and carbonized through a thermal process. Before carbonization, oxidative stabilization should be applied, and the oxidation mechanism also plays an important role during carbonization. Thus, the understanding of the oxidation mechanism is an essential part of the production of CNF. The oxidation process o...
