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 ...

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, ...

This article is part of a series of articles based on common questions in robotics. The previous article dealt with the question: What is a robot? Robots are machines designed to perform tasks – ...

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 top model high flow NEXT offers in addition to the flow sensor measurement of the coolant quality by measuring the electrical conductivity. In addition, the water temperature is precisely measured ...
