Studies of the use of oscillations for control purposes continue to reveal new practically important properties unique to the oscillatory open and closed loop control laws. The goal of this paper is to enlarge the available set of analytical tools for such studies by introducing a method of analysis of the qualitative changes in the behavior of dynamical systems caused by the zero mean parametric excitations. After summarizing and slightly refining a technique developed previously for the finite dimensional nonlinear systems, we consider an extension of this technique to a class of distributed parameter systems (DPS) governed by semilinear parabolic equations. The technique presented is illustrated by several examples.

Safe interactions between humans and robots are needed in several industrial processes and service tasks. Compliance design and control of mechanisms is a way to increase safety. This article presents a compliant revolute joint mechanism using a biphasic media variable stiffness actuator. The actuator has a member configured to transmit motion that is connected to a fluidic circuit, into which a biphasic control fluid circulates. Stiffness is controlled by changing pressure of control fluid into distribution lines. A mathematical model of the actuator is presented, a model-based control method is implemented to track the desired position and stiffness, and equations relating to the dynamics of the mechanism are provided. Results from force loaded and unloaded simulations and experiments with a physical prototype are discussed. The additional information covers a detailed description of the system and its physical implementation.
