Variable structure model for flow-induced tonal noise control with plasma actuators [PDF]
, 2008 The objective of this work was to study the effect of plasma actuators in attenuating low-speed flow-induced cavitytones from a control point of view by employing techniques from classical control. A modification of the existingphysics-based linear model

Optimal Actuation Strategies for Sensor/Actuator Networks [PDF]
2006 Third Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Networking & Services, 2006 Wireless sensor-actuator networks (SANETs), in which nodes perform actions (actuation) in response to sensor measurements and shared information, have great potential in medical and agricultural applications. In this paper, we focus on the problem of using distributed sensed data to design actuation strategies in order to elicit a desired response from

Design and Evaluation of Capacitive Smart Transducer for a Forestry Crane Gripper
Sensors, 2023 Stable grasps are essential for robots handling objects. This is especially true for “robotized” large industrial machines as heavy and bulky objects that are unintentionally dropped by the machine can lead to substantial damages and pose a significant ...
