...Ritesh A. Khire; Achille Messac Many engineering systems are required to operate under changing operating conditions. A special class of systems called adaptive systems has been proposed in the literature to achieve high performance under changing environments. Adaptive systems acquire...

... is a general paradigm that can be used in many other instances. Because of the very nature of robotic tasks, mechanically adaptive systems should be at the core of the development of intelligent robotic systems. By proposing a general and inclusive formulation of this principle and by providing a number...
