This article is focused on the stabilization and control of variable fractional-order (VFO) neutral delay systems with time-varying structured uncertainties and delays. Using the Lyapunov theorem, the delay- and order-dependent stability criterion of both the nominal and uncertain VFO systems of neutral-type with time-varying delays are derived using a set...

This article focuses on the mean-square exponential stability of networked stochastic systems with time delays (NSSTDs) under nonlinear coupling and deception attacks, employing a sampled-data control strategy. A generalized Halanay inequality for NSSTDs is proposed to investigate the stability of the closed-loop system, where multiple time delays with different bounds...

This article aims to derive an adaptive optimal speed regulator for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) affected by both disturbances and actuator faults. Load torque is first modeled as a mismatched disturbance, where its estimation via a disturbance observer is drawn to construct an error system. Then, optimal speed regulation...

This article addresses the nonsingular practical fixed-time adaptive fuzzy control problem of nonstrict-feedback multiagent systems (MASs) with actuator faults. By utilizing fuzzy-logic systems (FLSs), the identification of unknown nonlinearities in MASs is achieved while avoiding the algebraic loop problem. The singularities in fixed-time control are prevented by incorporating an adding...

The application of automated guided vehicle (AGV) greatly improves the production efficiency of workshop. However, machine flexibility and limited logistics equipment increase the complexity of collaborative scheduling, and frequent dynamic events bring uncertainty. Therefore, this article proposes a real-time scheduling method for dynamic flexible job shop scheduling problem with AGVs...

Robot systems, due to their unique flexibility and economy, are widely used in modern industry and intelligent manufacturing. The parameters of the system are unknown, and traditional parameter estimation methods are difficult to achieve fixed time convergence, which leads to extremely position tracking control problem. In addition, the transient and...
