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 ...

The proximity sensor utilizes miniature hall effect technology in an IC package mounted directly on the actuator. The hall effect is an ideal technology with a virtually unlimited on-off cycle life ...

Continuing last month’s fundamentals-based theme, I’d like to address the devices that make closed-loop control work. As discussed, control loop algorithms are implemented by software within a BAS ...

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 ...

It governs the precise movement of actuators, motors and other mechanical components. The technology combines controllers, ...

Abstract: 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
