    Abstract: The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has been a well-known swarm intelligence algorithm, which assimilates the cooperating behavior of bees when seeking for nectar sources. Aiming to improve the conventional ABC algorithm, we focus on the re-initialization phase. In this paper, an overall-degradation-oriented artificial bee colony (OD-ABC) alg... Show More

    Abstract: The paper presents unity between control systems and classical dynamics. A state observer is constructed based on uniformly accelerated motion. It is known F=ma in Newtonian motion equation is considered as a control input force which functions on the controlled plant process. The designed control system is of good robust performance.

    Abstract: In this paper, based on MacLaurin’s series and the Riccati equation, an algebraic quadratic equation will be developed and hence, its two roots, which represent the minimizing and maximizing optimal control matrices, would be deducted easier. Otherwise, a step-by-step algorithm to compute the control matrix for every step of time according to the p... Show More

    Abstract: Parametric excitation walking is one of the bipedal gait generation methods on level ground. This method was first applied to a biped robot with telescopic legs and later to a kneed biped robot. An experimental robot with telescopic legs was also developed and it was verified that the robot could walk more than eight steps by the parametric excitat... Show More
