Anisotropic Actuation in Salty Agarose Gel Actuators
2023When hydrogels that can reversibly dehydrate/rehydrate are physically combined with a constant water supply, the cycles can be controlled by on/off states and the positions of an external light source. The shrinking upon dehydration upon illumination causes bending towards the light source, and rehydration in the light-off state restores the initial ...

Intelligent Actuators - Ways to Autonomous Actuating Systems
IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 1992Abstract The integration of microelectronics within the actuator allows to not only replace the analog position controller but to add several functions which give the actuator more intelligent functions. The actuator control is performed in different levels and includes adaptive nonlinear control, optimization of speed and precision, supervision and ...

Modular robot designers confront inherent tradeoffs between size and power. Smaller, more numerous modules increase the adaptability of a given volume or mass of robot, allowing the aggregate robot to take on a wider variety of configurations, but do so at a cost of reducing the power and complexity budget of each module.

Smart Actuators for Colonoscope Actuation
The International Conference on Electrical Engineering, 2014In recent years, much has been studied on the colonoscope because it is a very important tool for diagnosing colon cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer in the developed countries. Colonoscopy is one of the most technically demanding endoscopic examinations in the modern health service.

An actuator surface can be defined as a two dimensional geometric region in a fluid at which a discontinuity in any flow property can occur [26]. We confine ourselves to a more restricted definition. We will use the term actuator surface for a two dimensional region in a fluid on which an external force field is concentrated. At this surface we have to
