    IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica · 2024-07-19 · 24 citations

    articleOpen access

    Automation has come a long way since the early days of mechanization, i.e., the process of working exclusively by hand or using animals to work with machinery. The rise of steam engines and water wheels represented the first generation of industry, which is now called Industry 1.0. Subsequently, Industry 2.0 witnessed the development of electric power and assembly lines. Later on, programmable logic controllers and Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) were the new productivity tools in Industry 3.0, w…

  • Nonlinear Adaptive PID Control for Nonlinear Systems

    IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control · 2025-05-06 · 12 citations

    articleSenior author

    This paper introduces a nonlinear adaptive PID tracking control methodology suitable for a class of MIMO nonlinear systems. By incorporating three nonlinear modulating (trimming) functions to “recalibrate” the generalized tracking error, a nonlinear proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control framework is constructed that possesses several notable features: 1) The user-assignable parameters in the modulating functions allow the resultant control strategy to analytically bridge fixed gain line…
