The paper’s main objective is to propose a new controller for robot manipulators on Cartesian Coordinates with formal stability proof. To verify the proposed controller’s behavior we need to compare it against the Cartesian PD controller, this comparison is accomplish by means of the Performance Index method that is an advantage to obtain a Scalar value of the sum of the error.

A primary limitation on crane operations is the difficulty of controlling payload oscillations. Given the significance of cranes, it is not surprising that a large amount of research has been dedicated to eliminating crane payload oscillation. Numerous feedbackbased control methods have been proposed. Command-shaping is another method that has received significant attention. This paper compares...

Generalized Phase Contrast (GPC) is an efficient method for generating speckle-free contiguous optical distributions useful in diverse applications such as static beam shaping, optical manipulation and recently, for excitation in two-photon optogenetics. To fully utilize typical Gaussian lasers in such applications, we analytically derive conditions for photon efficient light shaping with GPC. ...

We developed an efficient fabrication method of high-quality concave microarrays on fused silica substrates based on temporal shaping of femtosecond (fs) laser pulses. This method involves exposures of fs laser pulse trains followed by a wet etching process. Compared with conventional single pulses with the same processing parameters, the temporally shaped fs pulses can enhance the etch rate by...

The paper deals with the robust energy-based stabilization of a wheeled inverted pendulum, which is an underactuated, unstable mechanical system subject to nonholonomic constraints. The equilibrium to be stabilized is characterized by the length of the driven path, the orientation, and the pitch angle. We use the method of Controlled Lagrangians which is applied in a systematic way, and is very...

The cutting is an important machining technology, in which is belong to nonlinear large deformation, involving material nonlinear, geometry nonlinear and original bug, the thermal energy coupling question, and the nonlinear boundary condition, and so on. For the processing of metal cutting, using the large-scale commercial finite element theory, the coupling finite element model is established ...

It is well known that energy-balancing control is stymied by the presence of pervasive dissipation. To overcome this problem in electrical circuits, the alternative paradigm of power shaping was introduced in Ortega, Jeltsema, and Scherpen (2003)—where, as suggested by its name, stabilization is achieved shaping a function akin to the power instead of the energy function. In this paper we exten...

In this paper, we propose to increase residual carrier frequency offset tolerance based on short perfect reconstruction pulse shaping for coherent optical-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. The proposed method suppresses the residual carrier frequency offset induced penalty at the receiver, without requiring any additional overhead and exhaustive signal processing. The Q-factor improve...
