Hysteresis modelling and the subsequent control of actuators constitute a critical research area that underpins the precision and reliability of advanced motion systems. The phenomenon of ...

Multiscale modelling and control of thin film deposition processes encompass advanced simulation techniques that integrate phenomena occurring over disparate spatial and temporal scales. At the ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — International process systems and operation experts have launched high-tech startup Crystallization Systems Technology Inc. (CrySyst) to streamline processes used by companies ...

Ask six engineers what a model is and you may get six different answers. In mechatronics, the word model carries a specific meaning, and modeling is perhaps the single most important activity in ...

ISA-95, also known as ANSI/ISA-95 or IEC 62264, is an international set of standards aimed at integrating logistics systems with manufacturing control systems. It organizes technology and business ...

Control theory is the study of how one can use feedback to modify the behavior of a system — such as a robot, vehicle, chemical or biological process, power grid, stock portfolio, or an ecosystem — so ...

A proposed new model for current-mode control retains the strengths of existing models such as ease of use and the ability to capture subharmonic oscillations, while improving on weaknesses like dc ...

Octopus arms coordinate nearly infinite degrees of freedom to perform complex movements such as reaching, grasping, fetching, crawling, and swimming. How these animals achieve such a wide range of ...
