This paper investigates the synchronization issue for a family of time-delayed fractional-order complex dynamical networks (FCDNs) with time delay, unknown bounded uncertainty and disturbance. A novel fractional uncertainty and disturbance estimator ...
The rubber hand illusion describes a phenomenon in which participants experience a rubber hand as being part of their body by the synchronous application of visuotactile stimulation to the real and the artificial limb. In the recently introduced robo...

This paper discusses the quasi-synchronization of memristive neural networks (MNNs) with time-varying delays via event-triggered impulsive and state feedback control approaches. The choice of different initial conditions may lead to the unexpected pa...
Soft actuators have played an indispensable role in generating compliant motions of soft robots. Among the various soft actuators explored for soft robotic applications, dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have caught the eye with their intriguing ...
Robot-assisted surgery is limited by the lack of haptic feedback and increased operating times. Force scaling adjusts feedback transmitted to the operator through the use of scaling factors. Herein, we investigate how force scaling affects forces exe...
