A simple model for the B-riboswitch regulatory network in is first described and the same analysis is applied when changing the strain to . Model validation is undertaken by linking the dynamics of the riboswitch model to bacterial growth and comparing the results obtained with in vivo experimental measurements. Measurements of bacterial growth are relatively straightforward to obtain experimentally, but experimental measurements relating to the operation of the riboswitch are more difficult. Using the validated model, sliding mode observer design methods are used to estimate given measurements of the concentration of vitamin B. The sliding mode approach is selected because of its inherent robustness properties as well as for the ease of implementation. Validation of the estimates of produced by the observer is undertaken by comparing the and vitamin B concentrations estimated from the observer with green fluorescent protein production and the concentration of vitamin B obtained experimentally. These experimental results also provide further validation of the underpinning mathematical model. The results establish that using a sliding mode observer as a soft sensor is a useful approach to explore the operation of a vitamin B riboswitch given measurements of the concentration of vitamin B.

The aim of this paper was to reduce the current spikes in battery-powered saw motors by designing and implementing a sliding mode model-following adaptive controller. The proposed controller reduces overcurrent consumption, improves system energy efficiency, and effectively maximizes battery runtime, especially under high-load conditions. By applying nonlinear compensation techniques, the controller can ensure smooth motor operation, reduce mechanical stress, and prolong tool life.

Aiming at the control challenges faced by unmanned surface vessels (USVs) in complex environments, such as nonlinearities, parameter uncertainties, and environmental perturbations, we propose a non-singular terminal integral sliding mode control strategy based on an extended state observer (ESO). The strategy first employs a third-order linear extended state observer to estimate the total disturbances of the USV system, encompassing both external disturbances and internal nonlinearities. Subsequently, a backstepping sliding mode controller based on the Lyapunov theory is designed to generate the steering torque control commands for the USV.

The triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) has emerged as a promising technology for efficiently converting ambient mechanical energy into electrical energy. Among various designs, the disk-based rotational TENG has demonstrated significant potential, as it can continuously harvest energy in a sliding mode via a grating mechanism. However, horizontal mechanical energy is more common than rotational energy in many practical applications.

Cooperative formation flight of multiple aerial robotic vehicles (ARVs) is extensively adopted in emergency rescue and collaborative transport. But the time-varying complex disturbances are inevitable in the cooperative formation flight of multiple ARVs, which can affect the formation stability of multi-ARV systems. This paper investigates the robust formation control problems for multiple ARVs with time-varying disturbances.

Pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) are flexible actuators that can be contracted or expanded by applying air pressure. They are used in robotics, prosthetics, and other applications requiring flexible and compliant actuation. PAMs are basically designed to mimic the function of biological muscles, providing a high force-to-weight ratio and smooth, lifelike movement.
