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 ...

1. Joints - The Foundation of Movement Joints are the moving links in a robotic arm. They let the arm bend, rotate, or change ...

For a variety of reasons; navigation, hazard avoidance, and so on, it's desirable for a vehicle to be able to know its orientation with respect to the earth. A ship, submarine or airplane has six ...

Robotics researchers, engineers and materials scientists showed it is possible to make programmable, nonelectronic circuits that control the actions of soft robots by processing information encoded in ...

The transition to Industry 4.0 has accelerated the adoption of robots, cobots (cooperative robots that interact with humans in a common workspace), and other advanced machines on the factory floor to ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Soft robotics is designed to create flexible, adaptable devices capable of safe interaction with humans and delicate objects. This field has captivated researchers and engineers ...

Biological neural circuits (BNCs) are complex networks of neurons and synapses that carry out specific actions when activated. Without them, we would have to remind ourselves to put one foot in front ...
