High-Performance Speed Control of PMSM Using Fuzzy Sliding Mode with Load Torque Observer by Ping Xin, Peilin Liu, Pingping Qu

“…In comparison to previous work in hybrid SMC using fuzzy logic and torque observers, this p proposes a hyperbolic tangent function in replacement of the signum function to solve the conflict between rapidity and chattering in the traditional exponential reaching law, and fuzzy and segmental self-tuning rules adjust relevant switching terms to reduce chattering and improve the sliding mode arrival process. …”

Based on the Integration of the Improved A* Algorithm with the Dynamic Window Approach for Multi-Robot Path Planning by Yong Han, Changyong Li, Zhaohui An

“…In the DWA algorithm, a stop-and-wait mechanism and a replanning strategy are added, and a direction factor is included in the evaluation function to guarantee that the robots can adjust their paths promptly in the presence of dynamic obstacles or interference from other robots to evade potential conflicts or traps, thereby reaching the goal point smoothly. …”

Postural Muscle Dyscoordination in Children With Cerebral Palsy by Jolanda C. van der Heide, Mijna Hadders-Algra

“…The problems in the adaptation of the degree of muscle contraction might be the reason that children with CP, more often than typically developing children, show an excess of antagonistic coactivation during difficult balancing tasks and a preference for cranial-caudal recruitment during reaching. This might imply that both stereotypies might be regarded as functional strategies to compensate for the dysfunctional capacity to modulate subtly postural activity.…”
