...J. C. Peyton Jones; A. Mitrovic; G. M. Clayton Dual-stage actuators, which combine two actuators with different characteristics, have gained interest due to their large-range, high-resolution positioning capabilities. Control of such systems is challenging because it requires balancing the relative...

The ZED camera acquires images, which are analyzed by the python 2.7 computer vision code running on the Alienware laptop. The output...

...Rui Xu; Miaolei Zhou; Xiaobo Tan Hysteresis is a nonlinear characteristic ubiquitously exhibited by smart material sensors and actuators, such as piezoelectric actuators and shape memory alloys. The Prandtl–Ishlinskii (PI) operator is widely used to describe hysteresis of smart material systems due...

...Prateek Shah; Roberto Horowitz The multi actuator drive technology was unveiled by Seagate in December 2017, a breakthrough that can almost double the data performance of the future generation hard disk drives. This technology will equip drives with dual actuators operating on the same pivot point...

... that provide actuation. The integrated model is assembled to simulate a physical prototype and then validated based upon physical experiments to provide calibration. Simulation results evaluate the validated model performing perching with different gripper-perch alignments. The simulation environment developed...
