This paper proposes an actuator fault-tolerant control scheme, composed of the usual modules performing detection, isolation, accommodation, designed for a class nonlinear systems, and then applied to underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) used inspection purposes. Detection is in charge residual generation module, while sliding-mode-based approach has been both ROV fault after application input decoupling state transformation model.

This paper focuses on a robust power generation control strategy for variable-speed wind energy conversion system based permanent magnet synchronous generator. The proposed combines observer of the aerodynamic torque with sliding mode-based field-oriented strategy. vanishing observation error and tracking is proved. Reported numerical simulations show that policy effective in terms optimal extraction it respect to uncertainties affecting system.
Actuator nonlinearities are often neglected in control system design, though they can remarkably affect systems performance. This paper presents sliding mode controllers able to robustly stabilize an intrinsically nonlinear uncertain plant, the presence of dead zone or backlash actuator devices. These have been assumed uncertain, too, with known bounds on parameters. In case backlash, two different approaches presented, obtained using a quasistatic and dynamic description nonlinearity....
This paper addresses discrete-time variable structure control for multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) systems. Two algorithms are presented, obtained extending to the multivariable case two techniques previously proposed by authors (1995) single input-single (SISO) Both consist of laws cascaded a generalized minimum variance controller. The former algorithm refers completely known system, while latter has been designed deal with parameter uncertainties in plant. In this case, connection...
This paper presents a discrete-time sliding mode control based on neural networks designed for robotic manipulators. Radial basis function are used to learn about uncertainties affecting the system.

A method improve run-time performance real-time implementation has been considered. analysis...

Generative Agent-Based Modeling (GABM) is an emerging simulation paradigm that combines the reasoning abilities of Large Language Models with traditional to replicate complex social behaviors, including interactions on media. While prior work has focused localized phenomena such as opinion formation and information spread, its potential capture global network dynamics remains underexplored. This paper addresses this gap by analyzing GABM-based media simulations through lens Friendship...
