RETRACTED: Generic control flow for the four types of clutch-to-clutch shifts

At the request of the Publisher, the following articles have been retracted.

The Advances in Mechanical Engineering Editorial Office became aware that the peer review process organised by the Guest Editors of the Special Collections Advanced Control and Analysis of Mechatronics Systems with Modelling Uncertainty and Advanced Control of Robotics and Mechatronics Systems with Nonlinearity and Modelling Uncertainty 2016 did not meet the journal’s usual rigorous standards of peer review. Due to this, all articles in these Special Collections were re-reviewed by a new set of independent referees.

Based on the feedback from the new independent referees, the following articles have been retracted as they contained technical errors in the data presented, and they did not meet the journal’s required standard of scientific validity:
