It has been shown that by applying control techniques based on triggering conditions, it is possible to reduce both state-based performance index, as well as the number of triggers, in comparison to a standard linear-quadratic control which consumes less energy of the control system and decreases the potential mechanical wear of the robot parts. The results presented in this paper open a new research field for further studies, as discussed in the Summary section, and form the basis for further research in energy-efficient control techniques for stabilizing a bicycle robot.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/robotics7040077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,28]],"date-time":"2018-11-28T11:43:44Z","timestamp":1543405424000},"page":"77","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Sparse in the Time Stabilization of a Bicycle Robot Model: Strategies for Event- and Self-Triggered Control Approaches"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5287-4787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joanna","family":"Zietkiewicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Institute of Control, Robotics and Computer Science, Poznan University of Technology, 60-965 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9456-6704","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dariusz","family":"Horla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Institute of Control, Robotics and Computer Science, Poznan University of Technology, 60-965 Poznan, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1398-6484","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adam","family":"Owczarkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Reacto, os.
