and rainfall rate (R), identified as Z-R relationships have been derived to facilitate the rainfall rate estimation by weather radar. Most of the previously proposed Z-R relationships were implied as too generalized and only applicable within the region that has identical climate characteristics or behavior. Based on such notion, the most accurate

Exploiting Wheel Slips of Mobile Robots to Improve Navigation Performance
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Improving navigation performance of autonomous wheeled mobile robot (WMR) in a dynamic unstructured environment requires improved maneuverability. In such cases, the dynamics of wheel slip may violate the ideal no-slip kinematic constraints generally used to model nonholonomic WMR. In this paper, a new method is proposed to tackle the modeling inad

Support Vector Regression Based Friction Modeling and Compensation in Motion Control System
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Friction has been experimentally shown to be one of the major sources of performance degradation in motion control system. Although for model-based friction compensation, several sophisticated friction models have been proposed in the literatures, there exists no universally agreed parametric friction model, which by implication has made selection
