Advanced hardware control for seven DOFs robotic arm-neuro arm
In this paper we will implement new hardware control for 7 DOFs (Degrees of freedom) advanced robotic arm research platform (NeuroArm) equipped with various sensors. New hardware platform consists of Nano Pi platform which is used as a PC platform for standard PLC (programmable logic controller's) unit and will replace old system that consists of 7 16-bit ATmega processors. The goal of new PLC which is based on Linux operating system (Debian distribution) that is patched by Xenomai real time system for reducing control response time and better entire system control. Robotic arm is powered by 7 DC motors which are controlled by two PWM4 (Pulse Width Modulation) modules. Position data is acquired from 1kΩ resistive sensors using RI8 (Resistive module) module and from optical quadrature encoders using one DI16 (Digital Input) module. Also other modules PWM4, RI8 and DI16 communicate with PikoAtlas CPU module by I2C bus

Biologically inspired control and modeling of (bio)robotic systems and some applications of fractional calculus in mechanics
In this paper, the applications of biologically inspired modeling and control
of (bio)mechanical (non)redundant mechanisms are presented, as well as newly
obtained results of author in mechanics which are based on using fractional
calculus. First, it is proposed to use biological analog-synergy due to
existence of invariant features in the execution of functional motion.
Second, the model of (bio)mechanical system may be obtained using another
biological concept called distributed positioning (DP), which is based on the
inertial properties and actuation of joints of considered mechanical system.
In addition, it is proposed to use other biological principles such as:
principle of minimum interaction, which takes a main role in hierarchical
structure of control and self-adjusting principle (introduce local
positive/negative feedback on control with great amplifying), which allows
efficiently realization of control based on iterative natural learning. Also,
new, recently obtained results of the author in the fields of stability,
electroviscoelasticity, and control theory are presented which are based on
using fractional calculus (FC). [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike

An Efficient Method for Approximation of Non Rational Transfer Functions
A method for rational approximation of linear fractional order systems (LFOS) is presented in the present paper. The method is computationally efficient, flexible and effective, as is illustrated by numerous examples. The proposed approach can also be used as an intermediate stage in designing indirect discrete rational approximations
A variable-order fractal derivative model for anomalous diffusion
This paper pays attention to develop a variable-order fractal derivative
model for anomalous diffusion. Previous investigations have indicated that
the medium structure, fractal dimension or porosity may change with time or
space during solute transport processes, results in time or spatial dependent
anomalous diffusion phenomena. Hereby, this study makes an attempt to
introduce a variable-order fractal derivative diffusion model, in which the
index of fractal derivative depends on temporal moment or spatial position,
to characterize the above mentioned anomalous diffusion (or transport)
processes. Compared with other models, the main advantages in description and
the physical explanation of new model are explored by numerical simulation.
Further discussions on the dissimilitude such as computational efficiency,
diffusion behavior and heavy tail phenomena of the new model and
variable-order fractional derivative model are also offered

Procedure for definition of end-effector orientation in planar surfaces robot applications
Design of user-friendly and at the same time powerful robot programming methods is the subject of significant efforts undertaken by the international robotics community. For the purpose of facilitating robot programming, with regard to the most common present-day applications in industry, it would be useful to develop programming procedures for frequently used manipulator tasks which could be easily implemented and used as ready-made application software. Important class of industrial robot applications involves end-effector trajectories in planar surfaces. Development of robot programming language procedure intended for determination of object plane normal with respect to frame of interest, as well as programming of end-effector orientation is presented in this paper. This procedure can be used as integral part of task oriented robot programing applications as well as a procedure for explicit programming languages, and it is illustrated in practical example with the robot Lola 15
