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 ...

Actuators are materials and devices that are able to change their shape in response to changes in environmental conditions and perform mechanical work on nano-, micro-, and macroscales. Among the huge variety of different actuators, polymer-based ones are highly attractive because of a number of properties such as sensitivity to a broad range of ...

Effective Actuation: High Bandwidth Actuators and Actuator Scaling Laws
2001Abstract : The project advances active flow control to enable new Air Force capabilities. Advances in both the development of new actuator hardware and in understanding the flow physics have been achieved. Four key new advances have been achieved in Phase I of this AFOSR/STTR Program. First, a new high power (125-160 dB), high bandwidth (factor of 8.6),

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.
