— Facing new tasks, the conventional rigid design of robotic joints has come to its limits. Operating in unknown environments current robots are prone to failure when hitting unf...
A closed-loop model with actuator dynamics and sensory feedback has been developed to capture the complex postural behaviors observed in a human head tracking task. In motor-contro...

— Haptics, like the fields of robotics and motion control, relies on high stiffness position control of electric motors. Traditionally DC motors are driven by current amplifier...
—This paper reports the design and development processes of a totally decoupled flexure-based XYZ parallel-kinematics micropositioning stage with piezoelectric actuation. The un...
