Suppressing low-order eigenmodes with local control for deformable mirrors [PDF]
, 2012 To improve the mechanical characteristics of actively controlled continuous faceplate deformable mirrors in adaptive optics, a strategy for reducing crosstalk between adjacent actuators and for suppressing low-order eigenmodes is proposed.

Grasping and Control Issues in Adaptive End Effectors [PDF]
, 2004 Research into robotic grasping and manipulation has led to the development of a large number of tendon based end effectors. Many are, however, developed as a research tool, which are limited in application to the laboratory environment.

Science, 1999 Electromechanical actuators based on sheets of single-walled carbon nanotubes were shown to generate higher stresses than natural muscle and higher strains than high-modulus ferroelectrics. Like natural muscles, the macroscopic actuators are assemblies of billions of individual nanoscale actuators.

Sliding-mode control of a flexure based mechanism using piezoelectric actuators [PDF]
, 2012 The position control of designed 3 PRR flexure based mechanism is examined in this paper. The aims of the work are to eliminate the parasitic motions of the stage, misalignments of the actuators, errors of manufacturing and hysteresis of the system by ...

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 ...
