This year I am helping us laugh and possibly learn by making one of my humorous books available to download for free in this year’s first six columns. The fourth book is Logical Thoughts at 4:00 am.

Some wonder if AI will replace PID control loops. The reality is that, instead of replacing PID, AI is stepping in to help keep things running smoothly without upending regulatory trust. Think of AI ...

Ballbots are versatile robotic systems with the ability to move around in all directions. This makes it tricky to control their movement. In a recent study, a team has proposed a novel proportional ...

The proposed controller for ballbot devices enhances the adaptability to dynamic environments via self-learning and self-adjusting characteristics. Ballbot is a unique kind of robot with great ...

In a previous article by the authors, “Deadtime compensation opportunities and realities,” evidence showed how simple implementation of deadtime compensation improves loop performance over and above ...

Abstract: A quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (QUAV) with four control inputs and six degree of freedom (DOF) is underactuated and unstable system. The fractional order ...
