Shared control represents a middle ground between supervisory control and traditional bilateral control in which the remote system can exert control over some aspects of the task while the human operator maintains access to low-level forces and motions. In the case of dexterous telemanipulation, a natural approach is to share control of the object handling forces while giving the human operator...

Abstract:In this paper we study the hybrid projective synchronization and chaos control by using Adaptive feedback controllers based on Lyapunov's direct method Especially, the controller can be simplified into a single scalar one to achieve complete synchronization. Numerical simulations are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of the control strategies

The problem of Window Flow Controlled (WFC) systems has been analysed successfully in Deterministic Network Calculus (DNC). While many results of DNC have been carried over to its stochastic extension, the problem of WFC systems has not been solved so far. This paper presents the first approach to analyse WFC in the context of Stochastic Network Calculus (SNC) for a general service inside the f...

In this paper, we describe a framework for pictorial content representation, query formulation and image retrieval based on color distributions. Image content is described through a set of color histograms, each relative to a region with a homogeneous color distribution. The representation also includes geometric features induced by the color distribution based segmentation process. A metric of...

this study aimed at investigating the effect of learners’ gender on their preferences for corrective feedback. learners’ prefer- ences which were investigated included the necessity, frequency, timing, type, method, and delivering agent of error treatment. to this end, a questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) studying english (efl) at shi...
