Breakthrough µPistons™ technology uniquely solves decades-long embedded vision camera industry’s problem of lens thermal expansion. Novel product unlocks unparalleled resolution and consistent ...

Inspired by our bodies' sensory capabilities, researchers have developed a platform for creating soft robots with embedded sensors that can sense movement, pressure, touch, and even temperature.

This invention maps changes in magnetic field strength to changes in actuator shape without seeing noise from the actuator or reducing performance. The field of soft robotics has been rapidly gaining ...

Editor's Note: Embedded designers must contend with a host of challenges in creating systems for harsh environments. Harsh environments present unique characteristics not only in terms of temperature ...

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, ...

Why factoring mechanical and thermal boundaries into your actuator specification can make or break system performance. Boost your understanding of integrated actuators and online software for sizing ...

Haptic technologies enable consumers to perceive touch sensations when using electronic devices. The touch sensation, created by an actuator embedded in the device, makes a virtual experience seem ...

Active vibration control in smart structural systems utilises embedded sensors and actuators—most commonly piezoelectric or magnetostrictive—to detect and suppress unwanted oscillations in real time.

Industrial applications require high transmission rates, more bandwidth and ways to integrate motion control with other applications. CAN open language enables plug ...
