Adaptive Stable PID Controller with Parallel Feedforward Compensator
- In this paper, a new design method of adaptive PID controller is proposed. The method utilizes the so- called almost strict positive realness (ASPR) of the plant so that the stab...

Model-based and model-free reinforcement learning for visual servoing
— To address the difficulty of designing a controller for complex visual-servoing tasks, two learning-based uncalibrated approaches are introduced. The first method starts by b...
