Mechatronics technologies are now steadily penetrating in our daily lives. We are surrounded by mechatronic products and interact with them in many ways. In particular, mechatroni...
A new haptic feedback mechanism with five active degrees of freedom (dof), part of a training simulator for urological operations, is presented. The mechanism consists of a 2-dof 5...
- Metabolic studies have shown that there is a metabolic cost associated with carrying load [1]. In previous work, a lightweight, underactuated exoskeleton has been described that ...
— In this paper the problem of adaptively controlling a hydraulic system with uncertainties is considered. An adaptive controller is derived to control actuator force with unknow...
