Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Systems

This cluster of papers focuses on advanced control and stabilization techniques for robotic systems, particularly emphasizing adaptive control, sliding mode control, disturbance observer-based control, and finite-time stability in the context of nonlinear systems. The applications range from quadrotors and aerial vehicles to robotic manipulators, with a strong emphasis on addressing uncertainties and disturbances in the control process.

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
