Soft robots are becoming increasingly prevalent, with unique applications to medical devices and wearable technology. Understanding the dynamics of nonlinear soft actuators is crucial to creating ...

We present a suite of algorithms and tools for model-predictive control of sensor/actuator systems with embedded microcontroller units (MCU). These MCUs can be colocated with sensors and actuators, ...

XJCSENSOR, a leading manufacturer of force sensors and force-control solutions, has introduced a MEMS sensor that provides ...

In this chapter, I will present a few useful “cookbook” applications for real-time control circuits designed to perform some specific low-level task and interface with a master controller for ...

DANBURY, Conn. — Now available, Belimo stand-alone airflow measurement and control actuators with digital communications for rotary, linear, and induct applications. Select actuators have pressure ...

Let’s take a look at sensors, actuators and annunciators separately. There are a variety of RFID transponders on the market with integrated temperature, moisture, radiation and motion sensors built ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. One of the key parts of automation is observing variation, and a process’ ability to control it. Reducing variation ...

As you accelerate down the road and use your gas pedal to throttle in the appropriate amount of energy, you expect a smooth implementation from your foot to the motor. The electronic throttle control ...
