Networked control systems (NCSs) are distributed control systems in which the nodes, including controllers, sensors, actuators, and plants are connected by a digital communication network such as the Internet. One of the most critical challenges in networked control systems is the stochastic time delay of arriving data packets in the communication network among the nodes. Using the Smith predic...

optimal discrete-time control of linear systems has been presented already. there are some difficulties to design an optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulator since the robot manipulator is highly nonlinear and uncertain. this paper presents a novel robust optimal discrete-time control of electrically driven robot manipulators for performing repetitive tasks. the robot performs repetit...
