With the increasing demand for automation and remote operation, controlling electrical devices without the need for physical access has become an important area of development in modern engineering.

The Arduino Opta micro programmable logic controller (PLC) provides a unique entry point into the automation field. Automation fields like smart homes, process controls, and robotics are project areas ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Abstract: Magnetic resonance (MR) conditional actuators and encoders are the key components for MR-guided robotic systems. In this article, we present the modeling and control of our MR-safe pneumatic ...

Rotary encoders have been key components in motion and position control systems since the earliest days of digital controls, translating rotary motion into digital feedback signals for control systems ...

There was a time when people were happy to interact with their computer with a standard keyboard and mouse. But in recent years, we’ve noticed more programmable, custom-designed keyboards with more ...

In many mechanical systems, precise motion hinges upon effective monitoring and control of the motor. Encoders make motion control possible by sensing the motor’s speed and position and sending ...

Abstract: State observers are commonly used to estimate motor speed for their ability in disturbance rejection. However, the performance of traditional observers with ...
