Active vibration control has been introduced and used as one of the effective approaches to suppress unwanted vibrations in different systems. Effective performance of each vibration control method is contingent to accurate design and…

We examine the problem of weaknesses in frameworks of conceptual modeling for handling certain aspects of the system being modeled. We propose the use of a flow-based modeling methodology at the conceptual level. Specifically, and without…

Humanoid robots may require a degree of compliance at the joint level for improving efficiency, shock tolerance, and safe interaction with humans. The presence of joint elasticity, however, complexifies the design of balancing and walking…

To understand the controllability of complex networks is a forefront problem relevant to different fields of science and engineering. Despite recent advances in network controllability theories, an outstanding issue is to understand the…

Networked Embedded Control Systems are distributed control systems where the communication among plants, sensors, actuators and controllers occurs in a shared network. They have been the subject of intensive study in the last few years. In…
