    Abstract: In this article the applications of differential flatness to some industrial systems are presented. Computational methods of obtaining the flat output and the straight forward method of constructing the corresponding control law are given. Some theoretical and industrial systems are used as illustration including the third order synchronous machine... Show More

    Abstract: We cast a design view on the interactions that occur when humans face (interconnected) adaptive systems. As humans are also adaptive, the combined behavior of such systems and humans can exhibit various phenomena that are especially of concern to designers of adaptive systems dealing with the inherent complexity of systems, systems’ interfaces, int...

    Abstract: This paper proposes a positioning control system with high-speed starting and stopping for a DC motor using bang-bang control. The control system of the proposed method continuously operates from the bang-bang control to proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control. The bang-bang control controls the equipment for high-speed starting and stopping... Show More
