Servo controllers commonly use traditional cascaded configurations in which a velocity loop is nested within a position loop. This configuration originated when current and velocity controllers were ...

Hydraulics is great for lifting heavy loads and applying large amounts of force, but the same power that is required to exert a large amount of lifting or compression force can also do damage or ...

Our brains track moving objects by applying one of the algorithms your phone's GPS uses, according to researchers at the University of Rochester. This same algorithm also explains why we are fooled by ...

Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are standard fare in low-precision, speedy RC applications. The control schemes needed to run them slowly or precisely go deep into motor theory and might put these motors ...

A commercial robotic leg could potentially benefit both higher- and lower-mobility amputees, University of Michigan roboticists have shown for the first time. Subscribe to our newsletter for the ...

The SBSI series of low-cost vision sensors for code reading and quality inspection from Festo feature simplified set-up, integrated lighting and are EtherNet/IP-enabled for networking with Rockwell ...

In 2007, mathematicians from the University of Exeter showed that the freeway traffic jams that appear to occur for no reason are actually the result of a "backward traveling wave" initiated when a ...
