The numerical models were experimentally validated by four-point bending tests performed on six timber beams made of Nordic spruce (<em>Picea abies</em>). Tested specimens were sliced up into several strips parallel to the grains in the vicinity of the knot to numerically generate the actual geometrical model of the knots and related fibre deviations for creating the three-dimensional fibre paradigm.

Several approaches have been introduced in the last decades; nevertheless, some assumptions must be established to make such a balance. In this paper, a dynamic balancing approach is proposed. The main novelty is the no dependence on specific trajectories to be executed by the manipulator, which allows finding a design with a similar tradeoff in the balancing under robot configuration changes. Also, the proposal incorporates mass distribution and link shape in a single design procedure. The proposal is stated as a constrained nonlinear optimization problem and applied to a hybrid serial-parallel robotic manipulator. The use of different bio-inspired algorithms and one gradient one in the solution of the balancing problem reveals that differential evolution finds the most suitable design.

The optimal controller parameters of the FOPID controller are found via an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) method. The ANFIS controllers are well trained, tested, and validated using the data set sextracted from the fuzzy-based controllers. The performance and accuracy of the ANFIS model are evaluated using statistical parameters such as mean square error (MSE), coefficient of correlation (R), and root mean square error (RMSE). The controller performance, energy consumption, and robustness are tested using the new European drive cycle (NEDC) test. The efficacy of the ANFIS-based controller is demonstrated by comparing its performance with properly tuned fuzzy-based controllers. The proposed controller shows robustness towards external disturbances and offers promising EV speed regulation control. The comparative results illustrate the superior performance of ANFIS-based FOPID controller with high prediction and low error rates.
