The stability analysis of a class of nonlinear PD-plus-feedforward controllers is presented for the tracking control of rigid robot manipulators. The controller structure is composed of a nonlinear gain PD feedback controller and a manipulator dynamics feedforward term. The class of representations used for the nonlinear gain PD feedback controller is extended and global exponential stability is proved. Simulation results are included to illustrate the performance of this class of nonlinear controllers.

This paper presents new theoretical results on global exponential stability of cellular neural networks with time-varying delays. The stability conditions depend on external inputs, connection weights and delays of cellular neural networks. Using these results, global exponential stability of cellular neural networks can be derived, and the estimate for location of equilibrium point can also be obtained. Finally, the simulating results demonstrate the validity and feasibility of our proposed approach.

Some sufficient conditions to ensure the existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point of cellular neural networks with variable delays are derived. These results extend and improve the existing ones in the literature. Two illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our results.

This paper discusses three kinds of IDM car-following models that consider both the multi-anticipative behaviors and the reaction delays of drivers. Here, the multi-anticipation comes from two ways: (1) the driver is capable of evaluating the dynamics of several preceding vehicles, and (2) the autonomous vehicles can obtain the velocity and distance information of several preceding vehicles via inter-vehicle communications. In this paper, we study the stability of homogeneous traffic flow. The linear stability analysis indicates that the stable region will generally be enlarged by the multi-anticipative behaviors and reduced by the reaction delays. The temporal amplification and the spatial divergence of velocities for local perturbation are also studied, where the results further prove this conclusion. Simulation results also show that the multi-anticipative behaviors near the bottleneck will lead to a quicker backwards propagation of oscillations.

There is a need for a higher mast of a reach truck in the market, but a higher mast brings a safety concern. Usually, it is more plausible to fall in the roll direction than in the pitch direction. Since a reach truck with a high mast is a heavy and its center of gravity is high, it is not easy to conduct tests to evaluate its stability. If there is a mathematical tool to evaluate the stability of a reach truck, it is easy to evaluate a design in terms of stability and to modify the design in order to increase its stability. In this study, a variational method using a total potential function was used to make a mathematical means to evaluate the stability of a reach truck. By using the mathematical means the stability of a reach truck was evaluated and compared with FE simulation results.

The switching signal design for global exponential stability of switched neutral systems is investigated in this paper. LMI-based delay-dependent and delay-independent criteria are proposed to guarantee the global stability via the constructed switching signal. Razumikhin-like approach is used to find the stability results. Finally, some numerical examples are illustrated to show the main results.

In this paper the stability and tracking control for robot manipulator subjected to known parameters is proposed using robust control technique. The modelling of robot manipulator is obtained using Euler- Lagrange technique. Three link manipulators have been taken for the study of robust control techniques. Lyapunov based approach is used for stability analysis of triple link robot manipulator. The Ultimate upper bound parameter (UUBP) is estimated by the worst-case uncertainties subject to bounded conditions. The proposed robust control is also compared with computer torque control to show the superiority of the proposed control law.
