Cordi, Marcus. "Causalité des marchés financiers : asymétrie temporelle et réseaux multi-échelles de meneurs et suiveurs." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SACLC013/document.
Full textThis thesis aims to uncover the underlyingcausality structure of financial markets by focusing onthe inference of investor causal networks at multipletimescales in two trader-resolved datasets.The first part of this thesis is devoted to the causal strengthof Hawkes processes. These processes describe in a clearlycausal way how the activity rate of e.g. an investor dependson his past activity rate; its multivariate version alsomakes it possible to include the interactions between theagents, at all time scales. The main result of this part isthat the classical MLE estimation of the process parametersdoes not vary significantly if the arrow of time is reversedin the univariate and symmetric multivariate case.This means that blindly trusting univariate and symmetricmultivariate Hawkes processes to infer causality from datais problematic. In addition, we find a dependency betweenthe level of causality in the process and its endogeneity.For long time series of synthetic data, one can discriminatebetween the forward and backward arrows of time byperforming rigorous statistical tests on the processes, butfor empirical data the situation is much more ambiguous,as it is entirely possible to find a better Hawkes process fitwhen time runs backwards compared to forwards.Asymmetric Hawkes processes do not suffer from veryweak causality. Fitting them to the individual traders’ actionsfound in our datasets is unfortunately not very successfulfor two reasons. We carefully checked that tradersactions in both datasets are highly non-stationary, andthat local stationarity cannot be assumed to hold as thereis simply not enough data, even if each dataset containsabout one million trades. This is also compounded by thefact that Hawkes processes encode the pairwise influenceof traders for all timescales simultaneously.In order to alleviate this problem, the second part ofthis thesis focuses on causality between specific pairs oftimescales. Further filtering is achieved by reducing theeffective number of investors; Statistically Validated Networksare applied to cluster investors into groups basedon the statistically high synchronisation of their actions(buy, sell or neutral) in time intervals of a given timescale.This part then generalizes single-timescale lead-lag SVNsto lead-lag networks between two timescales and introducesthree slightly different methodsThese methods make it possible to characterize causalityin a novel way. We are able to compare the time reversalasymmetry of trader activity and that of price volatility,and conclude that the causal structure of trader activity isconsiderably more complex than that of the volatility for agiven category of traders. Expectedly, institutional traders,whose impact on prices is much larger than that of retailclients, have a causality structure that is closer to that ofvolatility. This is because volatility, being a macroscopicquantity, aggregates the behaviour of all types of traders,thereby hiding the causality structure of minor players
Le, Bon Caroline. "Le capital de mode : un nouveau concept pour comprendre et expliquer le comportement du consommateur de produits de mode." Thesis, Aix-Marseille 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011AIX32026.
Full textFashion transcends domains, applies to almost any kind of product and concerns many people. The loyalty towards fashion products raises questions about why and how products appeal to consumers, despite their constantly varying attributes. Furthermore, little is known about how fashion trends may induce people to stay loyal to fashion products. We are not aware of any other approach that explains consumer behavior on the basis of fashion value per se, that is, that a fashion product is of interest because it is explicitly perceived as a fashion item. We propose a new explanation for consumers’ interest in and loyalty to fashion products. Extending the concept of consumer-based brand equity (Keller, 1993), we propose that consumer-based fashion equity may account for the role that fashion plays, in determining consumers’ loyalty—similar to the way brand equity explains why high equity brands appeal more to consumers than do low equity ones. We introduce the concept of fashion equity to account for the value that fashion adds to products. The exploratory study conducted with followers confirms the values added by fashion to product and the results of our analysis demonstrates that attachment is a mediator in the relationships fashion equity-attachment-loyalty for fashion clothe and mobile phone. Therefore, these values contribute to the development of fashion attachment and fashion loyalty. Our research suggests an explanation of loyalty towards fashion thanks to fashion equity

Full textThis study argues that the merger predilections of many of the largest us and eu manufacturing firms may well have negative effects on their competitiveness vis-a-vis their japanese rivals. It first demonstrates that mergers and acquisitions are much more common among us and eu than among japanese firms. An extensive review of the literature subsequently confirms that mergers and acquisitions do not generally generate extra profitability, productive efficiency, market share growth and/or innovativeness. While the static welfare losses of such merger predilections may not be dramatic, they may lead to substantial dynamic losses when merger-prone firms need to compete with firms which instead focus on equipment investment and investments in r&d. The study shows that japanese firms have outperformed us and eu firms in terms of such investments during the 1980s so that it appears that the market share losses that western firms experienced during that same period have been caused by their merger predilections. These findings raise both theoretical and policy questions. On the theoretical side, the study demonstrates that strategic interdependence, which is the typical setting in which large firms operate, may encourage minimax regret rather than efficient choice behaviour. A single major merger may then trigger a bandwagon of imitative and defensive mergers. On the policy side, it is consequently argued that competition policies should test for the productive and dynamic rather than allocative efficiency effects of mergers. Industrial policies should focus on the fostering of innovative small and medium sized firms rather than on encouraging the predilections of large firms. The study suggests that the development of networks of local virtual stock exchanges may be an effective instrument in that respect

Full textNowadays, robots have become increasingly important to investigate hazardous and dangerous environments. A group of collaborating robots can often deal with tasks that are difficult, or even impossible, to be accomplished by a single robot. Multiple robots working in a cooperative manner is called as a Multi-Agent System (MAS). The interaction between agents to achieve a global task is a key in cooperative control. Cooperative control of MASs poses significant theoretical and practical challenges. One of the fundamental topics in cooperative control is the consensus where the objective is to design control protocols between agents to achieve a state agreement. This thesis improves the navigation scheme for MASs, while taking into account some practical constraints (robot model and temporal constraints) in the design of cooperative controllers for each agent, in a fully decentralized way. In this thesis, two directions are investigated. On one hand, the convergence rate is an important performance specification to design the controller for a dynamical system. As an important performance measure for the coordination control of MASs, fast convergence is always pursued to achieve better performance and robustness. Most of the existing consensus algorithms focus on asymptotic convergence, where the settling time is infinite. However, many applications require a high speed convergence generally characterized by a finite-time control strategy. Moreover, finite-time control allows some advantageous properties but the settling time depend on the initial states of agents. The objective here is to design a fixed-time leader-follower consensus protocol for MASs described in continuous-time. This problem is studied using the powerful theory of fixed-time stabilization, which guarantee that the settling time is upper bounded regardless to the initial conditions. Sliding mode controllers and sliding mode observers are designed for each agent to solve the fixed-time consensus tracking problem when the leader is dynamic. On the other hand, compared with continuous-time systems, consensus problem in a discrete-time framework is more suitable for practical applications due to the limitation of computational resources for each agent. Model Predictive Control (MPC) has the ability to handle control and state constraints for discrete-time systems. In this thesis, this method is applied to deal with the consensus problem in discrete-time by letting each agent to solve, at each step, a constrained optimal control problem involving only the state of neighboring agents. The tracking performances are also improved in this thesis by adding new terms in the classical MPC technique. The proposed controllers will be simulated and implemented on a team of multiple Mini-Lab Enova Robots using ROS (Robotic Operating System) which is an operating system for mobile robots. ROS provides not only standard operating system services but also high-level functionalities. In this thesis, some solutions corresponding to problem of connection between multiple mobile robots in a decentralized way for a wireless robotic network, of tuning of the sampling periods and control parameters are also discussed

Full textInteractions in teamwork and their efficiency are based on a hierarchical system including verticale dyads. This research studies leadership through the social roles link to the hierarchical status of the vertical dyad (i.e., leader for the chief and follower for the subordinate).The influence of follower on leader and leadership is increasingly considered. However, the follower’s behaviors are still unexplored. This multidisciplinary doctoral work (i.e., psychology and affective computing) tries to highlight the influence of follower’s behavior on the leader, and the underlying process of this influence.To do so, we used the follower’s nonverbal behaviors (CNV) as the social clues that can influence the leader and his behaviors. The principles of social cognition are applied in this thesis to study the cognitive evaluation made by the leader. We worked on the activation of the caracteristics used to categorize followers, the implicit followership theories (IFTs).The study of the cognitive evaluation made by the leader comes we multiple issues, including methological ones. Thus, a preliminary work of translation and validation of a scale evaluating the IFTs was realized. The first exploratory study used images of virtual agents displaying CNV that could explicitly activate leaders’ IFTs. We complete these result through an analysis of a corpus of videos filming medical teams’ training. This study allowed us to observe dynamic CNV that could influence the perception of followership. In a third study, we implemented the CNV of the two previous studies in a virtual agent. Medical leaders had to interact with it, and implicit activation of IFTs was collected using a Go / No Go protocol. Finally, using a quantitative approach, we studied the influence of cognitive evaluation of the leader on his leadership behaviors.Results suggest that some caracteristics displayed in CNV (i.e., dominance and support) can activate the leaders’ IFTs. Moreover, the cognitive evaluation of the leader seems to influence his leadership behaviors.We will discuss the results and explain the scientifical and pédagogical contributions of this thesis. We will analyse our problematic through multiple angles, including the epistemologycal point of view allowing the study of IFTs, and the use of virtual agents in the research field of categorization process. The practical application of the doctoral work is the implementation of CNV in virtual subordinates for the deployement of a serious game for medical team leader

Full textThe objective of this thesis is to develop and study mathematical models of economical exchanges between energy suppliers and consumers, using demand-side management. On one hand, the suppliers offer time-of-use electricity prices. On the other hand, energy consumers decide on their energy demand schedule, minimizing their electricity bill and the inconvenience due to schedule changes. This problem structure gives rise to bilevel optimization problems.Three kinds of models are studied. First, single-leader single-follower problems modeling the interaction between an energy supplier and a smart grid operator. In this first approach, the level of details is very high on the follower’s side, and notably includes a stochastic treatment of distributed generation. Second, a multi-leader multi-follower problem is studied from the point of view of the best response of one of the suppliers. Aggregators are included in the lower level. Two new resolution methods based on a selection of Nash equilibriums at the lower level are proposed. In the third and final part, the focus is on the evaluation of noncooperative equilibriums for this multi-leader multi-follower problem.All the problems have been studied both from a theoretical and numerical point of view

Full textDuring the certification process of a turbo engine, the engine manufacturer has to demonstrate that the loss of a rotor blade does not lead to the "knocking-off" phenomenon, in other words to the cascading failure of the successive blades. Generally, this demonstration is carried out through a costly rig test driving to the partial destruction of the engine. Thanks to the improvement of computational resources, it is now possible to simulate the transient response of the structure subjected to this complex loading. The knowledge of material behavior turns out to be the essential starting point for the simulation. However, only a few studies have been published on the dynamic behavior of nickel-based single crystal superalloys at high temperature reaching 1000°C. With a view to efficiently predicting the consequences of impacts on turbine blades, experimental and numerical works have been conducted on a single crystal frequently used by Turbomeca. High-temperature dynamic compressive tests on Split Hopkinson Pressure Bars (SHPB) have enabled to estimate the material plasticity level and hardening, depending on the crystal orientation, strain rate and temperature. The parameters of a viscoplastic anisotropic law have been identified to effectively model the MC2 macroscopic behavior under highly intense and multiaxial loading. At Safran Snecma Villaroche, ballistic tests have been undertaken on both single crystal plates and blades under high temperatures. In order to consider the fragmentation of profiles in blade-off simulations, a plastic strain criterion depending on stress triaxiality has been calibrated and validated by comparison with the impacts on blades. Post-mortem digital images correlation measurements and high-speed camera recordings have confirmed these simulations. Using LS-Dyna solver, a blade-off modeling strategy has been created and applied to an actual blade-off industrial case. Finally, a rotordynamics approach has been developed and validated with the aim of separately analyzing the primary damage, caused by direct impacts on the first following blades, and the secondary damage due to the effects of unbalance on a flexible rotor

Full textThe purpose of this thesis deals with the charisma and the succession crisis in charismatic regime. With the help of theoretical elements drawn from Max Weber and his successors, we try to make an assessment, a summary of previous researches and those in progress, and propose our own understanding of charismatic power and the question of its usefulness. Indeed, although the concept of charisma is widely used and discussed by the theorists of power and leadership, it remains a major conundrum of social science, political and legal. So convinced of its relevance as a principle of legitimation of political power, we attempt to further explore some aspects neglected or insufficiently developed to provide an overview of the issue. The illustration of these great historical figures, the most significant, like Mussolini, Hitler, Khomeini, De Gaulle, Mao, Houphouët, and Nkrumah gives a glimpse of its virtues and its vices, thus highlighting the crises of succession in charismatic regime with their different solutions

Full textThe recent developments of inflatable structures in aeronautics and in the field of the building require the determination of the dynamic behavior of their fundamental components : inflatable beams. The objective of this dissertation is the modal analysis of this type of structures. Experiments are done on inflatable coated fabric beams in order to measure their dynamic response with various internal pressures. The beams are manufactured with same coated fabric but with various orientations between warps and wefts compared to the axis of the beam. The tests show on the one hand the evolutions of the natural frequencies according to the pressure and on the other hand the influence of the orthotropic properties of fabric of the dynamic response. Three numerical studies are carried out. Two beam's approaches allowing the research of the natural frequencies of the inflatable beams are presented : an exact method (continuous elements) is initially used and one connects the results obtained with a finite element formulation of displacements. Type. The internal pressure appears in the solution. Beam's approaches allow the study of the modes of the structure type, but not the determination of the membrane's modes, which makes us introduce the finite membrane 3D elements. The nonlinearities of the membranes (geometrical and material ones) are taken into account. The analytical and numerical results of a simple supported inflatable beam are compared with the experimental results. They are in very good agreement

Full textThe object of this thesis is to study in a context of financialization of commodity markets, some strategies adopted by investors and their impact on volatility and excess co-movement between energy markets and financial markets. To this end, three studies are proposed. The first study uses the approach VAR with Switching Regime (MS-VAR) applied to energy markets during the period 1992-2017. The results suggest that during high volatility period, commercial agents (hedging agents) play a crucial role in the discovery of gas market prices. However, these agents affect the efficiency of other markets (crude oil, gasoline, heating oil) and amplify their volatilities. The second study employs GARCH ADCC versus GARCH DCC models for a sample of 17 countries and covering the period 1997-2016. This study highlights the asymmetric effect of oil shocks on the conditional correlations of the Asian and African markets, which can be explained in particular by the arbitrage activities and the heterogeneous behavior of investors. The third study focuses on Autoregressive Distributed Lag models (ARDL) and reveals that after the financial crisis, and beyond the macroeconomic and financial fundamentals, the index of excessive speculation, explains in long term as well as in short term, the correlation between oil market and some financial markets. This generates a phenomenon of excess co-movement, and therefore a financializing effect on these markets. Finally, we can conclude that : firstly, during high volatility period, gas market is a safe haven for financial investors ; secondly, the behavior of the investor explains the effect of excess co-movement between the oil market and some financial markets ; thirdly, this phenomenon of excess co-movement limits the benefits of international portfolio diversification especially during financial turbulences
Hou, Zhicheng. "Modeling and formation controller design for multi-quadrotor systems with leader-follower configuration." Thesis, Compiègne, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016COMP2259/document.
Full textIn this thesis, we address a leader-follower (L-F) formation control problem for multiple UAVs, especially quadrotors. Different from existing works, the strategies, which are proposed in our work, consider that the leader(s) have interaction with the followers. Additionally, the leader(s) are changeable during the formation. First, the mathematical modeling of a single quadrotor and of the formation of quadrotors is developed. The trajectory tracking problem for a single quadrotor is investigated. Through the analysis of the flatness of the quadrotor dynamical model, the desired trajectory for each quadrotor is transferred to the design of the desired at outputs. A flatness-based trajectory tracking controller is, then, proposed. Considering the double-loop property of the closed-loop quadrotor dynamics, a high-gain attitude controller is designed, according to the singular perturbation system theory. Since the closed-loop quadrotor dynamics performs in two time scales, the rotational dynamics (boundary-layer model) is controlled in a fast time scale. The formation controller design is then only considered for the translational dynamics: reduced model in a slow time scale. This result has simplified the formation controller design such that the reduced model of the quadrotor is considered instead of the complete model. Since the reduced model of the quadrotor has a double-integrator characteristic, consensus algorithm for multiple double-integrator systems is proposed. Dealing with the leader-follower formation problem, an interaction matrix is originally proposed based on the Laplacian matrix. We prove that the convergence condition and convergence speed of the formation error are in terms of the smallest eigenvalue of the interaction matrix. Three formation control strategies with fixed formation topology are then proposed. The flatness-based formation control is proposed to deal with the aggressive formation problem, while the high-order derivatives of the desired trajectory for each UAV are estimated by using an observer; the Lyapunov redesign is developed to deal with the nonlinearities of the translational dynamics of the quadrotors; the hyperbolic tangent-based bounded control with composite nonlinear feedback is developed in order to improve the performance of the formation. In an additional way, a saturated switching control of the formation is investigated, where the formation topology is switching. The stability of the system is obtained by introducing the convex hull theory and the common Lyapunov function. This switching control strategy permits the change of the leaders in the formation. Inspired by some existing works, such as the anonymous neighbor-based formation control, we finally propose a weighted neighbor-based control, which shows better robustness than the anonymous neighbor-based control. Simulation results using Matlab primarily illustrate our proposed formation control strategies. Furthermore, using C++ programming, our strategies are implemented on the simulator-experiment framework, developed at Heudiasyc laboratory. Through a variety of tests on the simulator and real-time experiments, the efficiency and the advantages of our proposed formation control strategies are shown. Finally, a vision-based inter-distance detection system is developed. This system is composed by an on-board camera, infrared LEDs and an infrared filter. The idea is to detect the UAVs and calculate the inter-distance by calculating the area of the special LEDs patterns. This algorithm is validated on a PC, with a webcam and primarily implemented on a real quadrotor
Nguyen, Thanh Truong. "Numerical modeling and buckling analysis of inflatable structures." Thesis, Lyon 1, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012LYO10123.
Full textThe main goals of this thesis are to modeling and to perform the buckling study of inflatable beams made from homogeneous orthotropic woven fabric (HOWF) composite. Three main scenarios were investigated in this thesis. The first is the experimental studies which were performed on HOWF inflatable beam in various inflation pressures for characterizing the orthotropic mechanical properties and buckling behaviors of the beam. In the second scenario, an analytical approach was considered to study the buckling and the behavior of an inflatable orthotropic beam. A 3D inflatable orthotropic beam model based on the Timoshenko's kinematics was briefly introduced: the nonlinearities (finite rotation, follower forces) were included in this model. The results were compared with theoretical results available in the literature. To check the limit of validity of the results, the wrinkling load was also presented in every case. The last scenario is devoted to the linear eigen and non-linear buckling analysis of inflatable beam made of HOWF. The finite element (FE) model established here involves a three-noded Timoshenko beam element with C0-type continuity for the transverse displacement and quadratic shape functions for the bending rotation and the axial displacement. In the linear buckling analysis, a mesh convergence test on the beam critical load was carried out by solving the linearized eigenvalue problem. In addition, a nonlinear FE model was developed by using the quasi-Newton iteration with adaptive load stepping for tracing load-deflection response of the beam. The results were validated from a certain pressure level by experimental and thin-shell FE results

Full textThe main objective of this thesis was to model inflatable beams made frorn orthotropic woven fabric composites. The static aspects were investigated in this report. Before planning to develop these models, it was necessary to know all the parameters which have a direct effect on the effective mechanical properties these composites. Thus, a micro mechanical model was performed for predicting the effective mechanical properties. The proposed model was based on the analysis of the representative volume element (RVE). The model took into account not only the mechanical properties and volume fraction of each components in the RVE but also their geometry and architecture. Each yarn in the RVE was modelled as a transversely isotropic material (containing fibres and resin) using the concentric cylinders model (CCIVI). A second volumetric averaging which took into account the volume fraction of each constituent (warp yarn, weft yarn and resin), was performed. The model was validated favorably against experimental available data. A parametric study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of various geometrical and mechanical parameters on the elastic properties of these composites. ln the structural analysis, a 3D Timoshenko airbeam with a homogeneous orthotropic woven fabric (OWF) was addressed. The model took into account the geometrical nonlinearities and the inflation pressure follower force effect. The analytical equilibrium equations were performed using the total Lagrangian form of the virtual work principle. As these equations were nonlinear, in a first approach, a linearization was performed at the prestressed reference configuration to obtain the equations devoted to linearized problems. As example, the bending problem was investigated. Four cases of boundary conditions were treated and the deflections and rotations results improved the existing models in the case of isotropic fabric. The wrinkling load in every case was also proposed. In a second approach, the nonlinear equilibrium equations of the 3DTimoshenko airbeam were discretized by the finite element method. Two finite element solutions were then investigated : finite element solutions for linearized problems which were obtained by the means of the linearization around the prestressed reference configuration of the nonlinear equations and nonlinear finite element solutions which were performed by the use of an optimization algorithm based on the Qua.si-Newton method. As an example, the bending problem of a cantilever inflated beam under concentrated load was considered and the deflection results improve the theoretical models. As these beams are made from fabric, the beam models were validated through their comparison with a 3D thin-shell finite element model. The influence of the material effective properties and the inflation pressure on the beam response was also investigated through a parametric study. The finite element solutions for linearized problems were found to be close to the theoretical linearized results. On the other hand, the results for the nonlinear finite element model were shown to be close to the results for the linearized finite element model in the case of high mechanical properties and the non linear finite element model was used to improve the linearized model when the mechanical properties of the fabric are low

Full textThis work is based on the multi-agent system / multi-vehicles. This thesis especially focuses on formation control of multiple nonholonomic mobile robots. The objective is to design suitable controllers for each robot according to different control tasks and different constraint conditions, such that a group of mobile robots can form and maintain a desired geomantic pattern and follow a desired trajectory. The leader-follower formation control for multiple nonholonomic mobile robots is investigated under the backstepping technology, and we incorporate a bioinspired neurodynamics scheme in the robot controllers, which can solve the impractical velocity jumps problem. The distributed formation control problem using consensus-based approach is also investigated. Distributed kinematic controllers are developed, which guarantee that the multi-robots can at least exponentially converge to the desired geometric pattern under the assumption of "perfect velocity tracking". However, in practice, "perfect velocity tracking" doesn’t hold and the dynamics of robots should not be ignored. Next, in consideration of the dynamics of robot with unknown parameters, adaptive torque controllers are developed such that the multi-robots can asymptotically converge to the desired geometric pattern under the proposed distributed kinematic controllers. Furthermore, When the partial knowledge of dynamics is available, an asymptotically stable torque controller has been proposed by using robust adaptive control techniques. When the dynamics of robot is unknown, the neural network controllers with the robust adaptive term are proposed to guarantee robust velocity tracking

Full textThis doctoral thesis focuses on the calculation by the finite element method of the dynamic behavior of prestressed elastic tanks containing an internal liquid with a free surface. We consider that the hydrostatic pressure exerted by the incompressible internal fluid on the flexible walls of the tank causes large displacements, thus leading to a geometric non-linear equilibrium state. The change of stiffness related to this prestressed state induces a shift in the resonance frequencies of the coupled linear vibration problem. The main objective of the work is therefore to estimate, through precise and efficient numerical approaches, the influence of geometric nonlinearities on the hydroelastic behavior of the reservoir/internal liquid system around different equilibrium configurations. The methodology developed is carried out in two stages. The first one consists in calculating the non-linear static state by a total Lagrangian finite element approach.The action of the fluid on the structure is modelled here by hydrostatic following forces. The second step is the calculation of linearized coupled vibrations. In particular, an original reduced order model is proposed to limit the calculation costs associated with the estimation of the added mass effect. Finally, various examples are proposed and compared with results from the literature (from numerical simulations or experimental tests) to show the effectiveness and validity of the different numerical approaches developed in this work

The objective is to design suitable controllers for each robot according to different control tasks and different constraint conditions, such that a group of mobile robots can form and maintain a desired geomantic pattern and follow a desired trajectory. The leader-follower formation control for multiple nonholonomic mobile robots is investigated under the backstepping technology, and we incorporate a bioinspired neurodynamics scheme in the robot controllers, which can solve the impractical velocity jumps problem. The distributed formation control problem using consensus-based approach is also investigated. Distributed kinematic controllers are developed, which guarantee that the multi-robots can at least exponentially converge to the desired geometric pattern under the assumption of "perfect velocity tracking". However, in practice, "perfect velocity tracking" doesn’t hold and the dynamics of robots should not be ignored. Next, in consideration of the dynamics of robot with unknown parameters, adaptive torque controllers are developed such that the multi-robots can asymptotically converge to the desired geometric pattern under the proposed distributed kinematic controllers. Furthermore, When the partial knowledge of dynamics is available, an asymptotically stable torque controller has been proposed by using robust adaptive control techniques. When the dynamics of robot is unknown, the neural network controllers with the robust adaptive term are proposed to guarantee robust velocity tracking
