Force Sensing and Control in Micromanipulation

IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, Part C (Applications and Reviews), 2006
In micromanipulation, the size of the manipulated object is usually much less than 1 mm in a single dimension, in which case gravitational and inertial forces are no longer dominant. This leads to problems (for manipulation through force) that are not evident in the macroworld, and for which the macroworld techniques alone may not be adequate to ...

Making Sense: Disinterestedness and Control

2023
This essay aims to show how the transcendental aesthetic principle sought by Kant reveals itself not only as the principle of determination of aesthetic experience, both artistic and non-artistic, but also as a necessary principle for making sense of human experience in general. I begin by addressing some fundamental misunderstandings that still plague

The specification of distributed sensing and control

Journal of Robotic Systems, 1985
AbstractLogical Sensor System Specification (LSS) has been introduced as a convenient means for specifying multi‐sensor systems and their implementations. In this article we demonstrate how control issues can be handled in the context of LSS. In particular, the Logical Sensor Specification is extended to include a control mechanism which permits ...

Sense of Control: Potentials for Intervention

The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 1989
A substantial amount of research has demonstrated that the sense of control is associated with numerous positive outcomes, including good health. Many aspects of the personal and social conditions of old age influence the control-health relationship.

A controlled sensing approach to graph classification

2013 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing, 2013
The problem of classifying graphs with respect to connectivity via partial observations of nodes is posed as a composite hypothesis testing problem with controlled sensing. An observation at a node is a subset of edges incident to the node on the complete graph drawn according to a probability model, which is a function of a fixed underlying graph ...

Social learning and controlled sensing

2013 IEEE Global Conference on Signal and Information Processing, 2013
Multiagent social learning deals with the problem of Bayesian estimation of an underlying state when agents can use private observations together with local decisions of previous agents to infer the state. How can controlled sensing be performed at a global level when local agents perform social learning?

Sensing and control challenges for Smart Grids

2011 International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control, 2011
Due to the adverse impacts of the consumption of fossil fuels on our environment, the quest for a more sustainable energy supply is increasingly intensifying worldwide. Many renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar and tidal power generate electricity.

Sense of Control and Voting: A Genetically‐Driven Relationship

Social Science Quarterly, 2011
ObjectivesThe impact of political efficacy on political participation has been established in numerous classical studies of political behavior. However, the effects of more general measures of efficacy on political efficacy and voter turnout have received almost no attention. Additionally, seemingly independent contemporary developments in the field of

Controlled Potential Techniques in Amperometric Sensing

2014
Fundamentals of electrode thermodynamics and kinetics are given, aiming at furnishing a reference to the reader of the following chapters. No previous knowledge of electrochemistry is required; only the basic principles of chemical equilibria are supposed to be known.
