In this paper, the exponential stabilization of chained form system with inertia is addressed. A discontinuous static time invariant control law is proposed that achieves exponential stability in the Lyapunov’s sense. Such a result was previously obtained only by means of time varying feedback or hybrid feedback endowed of memory capabilities. The total number of switching is less or equal to t...

Optimal control systems are of considerable practical and theoretical interest. Although solutions of certain optimal control problems have been known for many years, it is only recently that fairly general, rigorous solution techniques have been developed. Unfortunately, the computational aspects of these solution techniques still present formidable problems. The time-optimal problem which is ...

With getting older in the whole population, the prevalence of stroke and its residual disability is getting higher and higher recently in Taiwan. The functional electrical stimulation cycling system (FESCS) is useful for hemiplegic patients. Because that the muscle of stroke patients is under hybrid activation. The raw electromyography (EMG) represents the residual muscle force of stroke subjec...

In the continuous speech recognition, the co-pronunciation between two successive phonemes seriously disturb recognition effect. It is difficult for pure hidden Markov model(HMM) methods to cope with the co-pronunciation, because HMM methods consider that two successive frames of speech are independant. The hybrid HMM and artificial neural networks(ANN) methods with feedback MLP[1,3] provide th...

This chapter serves as an introduction to Part D by giving an overview of motion generation and control strategies in the context of robotic manipulation tasks. Automatic control ranging from the abstract, high-level task specification down to fine-grained feedback at the task interface are considered. Some of the important issues include modeling of the interfaces between the robot and the env...

This study aims to better understand the effect of practice schedule and feedback providing types. In two separate experiments the contextual interference effect in bandwidth and self-control feedback conditions on relative and absolute timing learning was examined. In experiment I, the effect of contextual interference using bandwidth and self-control feedback on absolute timing learning (para...
