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 ...

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 ...

A polymer is a large molecule made up of repeating units (called monomers), linked together by a long chain. Due to their interesting properties, polymers are used in various applications, such as ...

Electromechanical actuators are mechanical actuators where the control knob or handle has been replaced by an electric motor. The rotary motion of the motor is converted into linear displacement. The ...

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 ...
