Purpose This paper aims to present an adaptive sliding mode control (ASMC) for tunnel boring machine cutterhead telescopic system with uncertainties to achieve a high-precision trajectory in complex strata. This method could be applied to solve the problems caused by linear and nonlinear model...

Purpose As more and more robots are used in industry, it is necessary for robots to interact with high dynamic environments. For this reason, the purpose of this research is to form an excellent force controller by considering the transient contact force response, overshoot and steady-state...

Purpose The authors want to design an adaptive grasping control strategy without setting the expected contact force in advance to maintain grasping stable, so that the proposed control system can deal with unknown object grasping manipulation tasks. Design/methodology/approach The adaptive...

Purpose Considering the complexity of dynamic and friction modeling, this paper aims to develop an adaptive trajectory tracking control scheme for robot manipulators in a universal unmodeled method, avoiding complicated modeling processes. Design/methodology/approach An augmented neural network...
