Beyond Initial Adoption: How Lean Six Sigma Is Sustained, Adapted, and Used in the U.S. Textile and Apparel Industry

Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how Lean Six Sigma (LSS) currently functions in the U.S. textile and apparel industry after years of adoption and use. Moving beyond isolated project‐level evidence, this study investigates whether LSS has been implemented as an organizational capability and integrated into the corporate culture, adapted to textile‐specific

Terrain‐Adaptive Quadrupedal Locomotion Using Model Predictive Control With Impedance Control and SINDy Model Enhancement

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quadrupedal robots operating in unstructured environments require adaptive control systems that can handle diverse terrain conditions without prior surface characterization. This paper presents an integrated control architecture that combines Model Predictive Control (MPC) with adaptive impedance control and SINDy‐based model corrections for ...

Orbital Stabilization of Hybrid Mechanical Systems—A Port‐Hamiltonian Approach

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this article, we address the problem of stabilizing hybrid periodic orbits in mechanical systems characterized by both continuous and discrete dynamics. We introduce a total energy shaping controller, formulated in the port‐Hamiltonian framework, that guarantees asymptotic orbital stability of a prescribed hybrid periodic orbit.
