According to FMI studies, the global pneumatic actuator market expanded at over 3.1% CAGR during the last 5 years from 2018 ...

This simple STM setup utilises a piezoelectric actuator constructed by deliberately cutting a piezo speaker into four quadrants. With individual drive wires attached to the four quadrants.

What is a sensory weaver? [Curiosiate] tells us: “A device which takes sensory data feeds in and converts it in various ways on the body as information streams as though a native sensory input.” ...

The device provides a range of sensations, such as vibrations, pressure, and twisting. A team of engineers led by ...

A recent breakthrough in photothermal actuator design has been achieved by a research team from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Prof. Tian Xingyou ...

Abstract: This article proposes a rate bumpless switching control approach for the turbofan control systems with actuator faults based on switched models. A characterization of the rate bump restraint ...

What an actuator is, and what the difference is between linear and rotary The three main energy types—electric, pneumatic and hydraulic—plus thermal, magnetic and piezoelectric What to keep in ...

Researchers have developed a 3D printing method for soft actuators, paving the way for artificial muscles in robotics, ...

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the problem of fault detection, isolation and compensation for the multiple-input single-output nonlinear systems in the face of actuator failures. It is focused ...
