Transactions on SMC: Systems

Scope

The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems includes the field of systems engineering. It also includes issue formulation, analysis and modeling, decision making, and issue interpretation for any of the systems engineering lifecycle phases associated with the definition, development, and deployment of large systems. Other topics include systems management, systems engineering processes, and a variety of systems engineering methods such as optimization, modeling and simulation.

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Part A: Systems and Humans was renamed IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems on January 1, 2013.

The application of automated guided vehicle (AGV) greatly improves the production efficiency of workshop. However, machine flexibility and limited logistics equipment increase the complexity of collaborative scheduling, and frequent dynamic events bring uncertainty. Therefore, this article proposes a real-time scheduling method for dynamic flexible job shop scheduling problem with AGVs...

Robot systems, due to their unique flexibility and economy, are widely used in modern industry and intelligent manufacturing. The parameters of the system are unknown, and traditional parameter estimation methods are difficult to achieve fixed time convergence, which leads to extremely position tracking control problem. In addition, the transient and...

This article investigates the adaptive neural network (NN) tracking control problem for nonlinear networked control systems (NCSs) with finite-time prescribed performance (FTPP) subject to intermittent denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. It is noticeable that when the DoS attacker is active, the controller does not receive any information, which makes the controller fail...

This article examines the nonfragile bipartite tracking consensus issue in the context of sampled-data nonlinear multiagent systems (MASs) undergoing denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and control gain fluctuations, where both cooperative and competitive interactions between the agents over the network are taken into account. During the DoS attacks, with communication services being...

The robotics research community has developed several effective techniques for quadrupedal locomotion. Most of these methods ease the modeling and control problem by assuming a rigid contact between the feet and the terrain. However, in the case of compliant terrain or robots equipped with soft feet, this assumption no longer...
