Many of the robotic systems developed in the past decades are inspired by four-legged (i.e., quadruped) animals, such as dogs, cheetahs and horses. By replicating the agile movements of these animals, ...

When operating at the higher speeds, being maneuverable and agile is likely a greater advantage than being stealthy—making ...

The length of your entire digestive system from the mouth to the anus is approximately 30 feet long. Your digestive system is responsible for breaking down the foods you eat so that you can absorb ...

A great sound system can transform your movies, games, and music into a truly immersive audio experience. Whether it's soundbars, subwoofers, or speakers, you can turn your living room into a mini ...

Nevertheless, there is no doubt that the graphene-based actuator holds great potential for applications in various electric/electrochemical responsive systems. The actuators with the graphene as ...

Abstract: This article investigates the design problem of a heuristic multirate sampling static output feedback controller for an active suspension system with actuator faults within the constructed ...

Abstract: This article investigates the problem of fault-tolerant control for stochastic high-order fully actuated systems (FASs) with actuator faults. Different from the majority of existing studies ...

Missile fin actuation demands a motion control system that can generate sufficient torque to move the position against aerodynamic forces, including velocity up to several times the speed of sound.
