Within the air brake systems of trucks and trailers, actuators play a vital, but largely unsung, role. Brake actuators are the devices that convert the compressed air force within a truck or trailer's ...

An actuator's function is to provide thrust and positioning in machines used for production or testing. One type is the electromechanical actuator, which An actuator's function is to provide thrust ...

Linear actuators convert the rotary motion of motors into linear motion output, possessing good support and load-bearing capabilities, mainly used in high-load scenarios with small motion rotation ...

In this chapter, I will present a few useful “cookbook” applications for real-time control circuits designed to perform some specific low-level task and interface with a master controller for ...

Textbooks that provide a broad algorithmic perspective on the mechanics and dynamics of robots almost unfailingly serve students at the graduate level. Introduction to Autonomous Robots offers a ...
