Tracking control of a pendulum-driven cart-pole underactuated system (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Yu, H., Liu, Y., & Yang, T. (2007). Tracking control of a pendulum-driven cart-pole underactuated system. In 2007 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics. https://doi.org/10.1109/icsmc.2007.4413859

In this paper, we use an example - a pendulum-driven cart-pole system studied in Li et al. (2005) to investigate the tracking control of underactuated dynamic systems. In this paper, we propose a six-step motion strategy of the pendulum driven cart-p... Read More about Tracking control of a pendulum-driven cart-pole underactuated system.

Establishing design best practices for users with cognitive and learning difficulties (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Keates, S., & Varker, P. (2007). Establishing design best practices for users with cognitive and learning difficulties. In C. Stephanidis (Ed.), Universal Acess in Human Computer Interaction. Coping with Diversity: Proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Universal Access in Human-Computer Interaction, UAHCI 2007, Part I (706-715). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-73279-2_78

In many respects, cognitive difficulties and learning impairments are the poor relation of Universal Access (UA) research. Research into emotional impairments is even less common. A simple review of almost any general UA or Assistive Technology confe... Read More about Establishing design best practices for users with cognitive and learning difficulties.
