Piezoceramics-based Devices for Active Balancing of Flexible Shafts [PDF]
, 2006 This paper focuses on vibration control of flexible shafts by means of rotorfixed piezoelectric materials. The target is to realize compact solutions for the suppression of problematic resonant vibration at so-called flexural critical speeds.

Thermal Recovery of Multi-Limbed Robots with Electric Actuators [PDF]
The problem of finding thermally minimizing configurations of a humanoid robot to recover its actuators from unsafe thermal states is addressed. A first-order, data-driven, effort based, thermal model of the robots actuators is devised, which is used to ...

Design an Artificial Foot using Series Elastic Actuator
International Journal of Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technology, 2014 : Investigating the mechanical behaviour of a healthy human ankle shows that it can be simulated by a mechanism composed of simple elements such as spring, and actuator. Hence, appropriate design of this mechanism can be resulted to an artificial ankle that can help amputees properly.
