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 ...

XJCSENSOR, a leading manufacturer of force sensors and force-control solutions, has introduced a MEMS sensor that provides ...

We present a suite of algorithms and tools for model-predictive control of sensor/actuator systems with embedded microcontroller units (MCU). These MCUs can be colocated with sensors and actuators, ...

The need to create more viable soft sensors is increasing in tandem with the growing interest in soft robots. Several sensing methods, like capacitive stretch sensing and intrinsic capacitive ...

A look at how modern electric actuators combine mechanical innovation with digital control, enabling rapid product ...

Novel Dielectric Elastomer Sensor (DES) offers real-time pressure and vibration monitoring in soft fluidic actuators, allowing applications in robotics and biomedical devices Fluidic Elastomer ...

What does a simple cascaded conveyor system look like? How to integrate a conveyor system using only the digital capabilities of modern variable frequency drives (VFDs). Simplifying the automation ...

For the lowest power consumption, MCUs are still preferred, and for high performance, MPUs are dominant. But that’s changing.

Modern electronic diesel engines use ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel and have sophisticated fuel management systems that include integrated throttle control. Use of these engines results in ...
