With this choice, the closed-loop potential energy contains free functions of the new variables. By expressing the regulation objective in terms of these new potential shape variables, the desired equilibrium can be assigned and there is freedom to reshape the potential energy to achieve performance whilst maintaining the PHS form in closed loop. This complements contemporary results in the literature, which preserve the open-loop shape variables. As a case study, we consider a robotic manipulator mounted on a flexible base and compensate for the motion of the base while positioning the end effector with respect to the ground reference. We compare the proposed control strategy with special cases that correspond to other energy shaping strategies previously proposed in the literature.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:00 AEDT ]]> Developing a discipline-based measure of visualisation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:6156 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:44:31 AEDT ]]> Investigations and modeling of the layer fraction in horizontal slug flow pneumatic conveying https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29424 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:13 AEDT ]]> Computer simulations of particle-bubble interactions using discrete element method https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22579 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:58 AEDT ]]> Rail conveyor development and testing https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24801 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:14 AEDT ]]> An investigation into the performance of screw feeders used in bulk solid densification processes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25409 Mon 08 Feb 2021 10:35:17 AEDT ]]>
