This paper suggests a new control design based on the concept of Synergetic Control theory for controlling a one-link robot arm actuated by Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) in opposing bicep/tricep positions. The synergetic control design is first established based on known system parameters. However, in real PAM-actuated systems, the uncertainties are inherited features in their parameters and hence an adaptive synergetic control algorithm is proposed and synthesized for a PAM-actuated robot arm subjected to perturbation in its parameters. The adaptive synergetic laws are developed to estimate the uncertainties and to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the adaptive synergetic controlled PAM-actuated system. The work has also presented an improvement in the performance of proposed synergetic controllers (classical and adaptive) by applying a modern optimization technique based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to tune their design parameters towards optimal dynamic performance. The effectiveness of the proposed classical and adaptive synergetic controllers has been verified via computer simulation and it has been shown that the adaptive controller could cope with uncertainties and keep the controlled system stable. The proposed optimal Adaptive Synergetic Controller (ASC) has been validated with a previous adaptive controller with the same robot structure and actuation, and it has been shown that the optimal ASC outperforms its opponent in terms of tracking speed and error.

In our previous studies of metal nanoparticle growth, we have come to realize that the dynamic interplay between ligand passivation and metal deposition, as opposed to static facet control, is responsible for focused growth at a few active sites. In this work, we show that the same underlying principle could be applied to a very different system and explain the abnormal growth modes of liquid nanoparticles. In such a liquid active surface growth (LASG), the interplay between droplet expansion and simultaneous silica shell encapsulation gives rise to an active site of growth, which eventually becomes the long necks of nanobottles.

This study suggests an enhanced version of the adaptive fuzzy fast terminal synergetic controller (AF-FTSC) for controlling the uncertain DC/DC buck converter based on the synergetic theory of control (STC) and newly developed terminal attractor technique (TAT). The benefits of the proposed SC algorithm involve the features of finite-time convergence, unaffected by parameter variations, and chattering-free phenomenon. A type-1 fuzzy logic system (T1-FLS) make the considered controller more robust and is utilized to estimate the undefined converter nonlinear dynamics without resorting to the usual linearization and simplifications of the converter model.

Global climate change and rapid urbanization have increasingly intensified extreme rainfall events and surface runoff, posing significant challenges to urban hydrological security. Synergetic Grey-Green Infrastructure (SGGI) has been widely applied to enhance stormwater management in urban areas. However, current research primarily focused on optimizing and evaluating either grey infrastructure (GREI) or green infrastructure (GI) under single rainfall event, neglecting the non-stationary impacts of long-term climate change on infrastructure performance.

The charge transport of channel materials in n-type organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) is greatly limited by the adverse effects of electrochemical doping, posing a long-standing puzzle for the community. Herein, an n-type conjugated polymer with glycolated side chains (n-PT3) is introduced. This polymer can adapt to electrochemical doping and create more organized nanostructures, mitigating the adverse effects of electrochemical doping.
