The gripper features 6 shape memory polymer (SMP)-embedded arms capable of rapid underwater stiffness tuning. In the soft state, it can perform suction mode or grasping mode, where positive pressure ...

Success is less about memorizing formulas and more about understanding process behavior, valves, operators and controller ...

A higher form of simulation, digital twins collect data to create accurate simulations that display the operation, potential failures, and possible future maintenance issues in manufacturing equipment ...

The importance of motor trajectory profiles and how they’re used in brushless DC (BLDC) motor control to minimize vibration and smooth out other performance issues. Why the PID loop is the most widely ...

What is the best strategy to get the best rate of change in the PID for a manipulated variable, or is there a more elegant solution within the control strategy itself? Answer includes example ...

Average current-mode control, as shown in Figure 1, is common in continuous-conduction-mode (CCM) power factor correction (PFC). It has two loops: a voltage loop that works as an outer loop and a ...

The increasing penetration of distributed generation and the evolving requirements of smart grids have heightened the demand for fast, accurate, and robust reactive power control in Static Synchronous ...

Abstract: Dynamic matrix control (DMC) is widely used in intelligent manufacturing. Its performance is heavily affected by coupled parameters, e.g., horizons and weighting matrices. However, existing ...
