Abstract: With the rapid development of science and technology, nonlinear equations and optimal control problems play an important role in a wide range of fields. However, in the current research, the ...

Abstract: Precise shape control of tendon-driven continuum robots (TDCRs) remains challenging due to their inherent nonlinearity and environmental uncertainties. Analytical kinematic models fail to ...

No algorithm for optimizing general nonlinear functions exists that will always find the global optimum for a general nonlinear minimization problem in a reasonable amount of time. Since no single ...

We have studied actuator-position optimization problems in linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. Here, we present one of the results, a performance index for actuator positions using the reachability ...
