This paper deals with the pull-in control and the nanopositioning of an electrostatically actuated NEMS (Nano Electromechanical System) squeezed between two forces. It is shown tha...
—In this paper, we propose a method designed to allow creatures to actively respond to a fluid environment. We explore various objective functions in order to determine ways to ...

Embodying robot morphologies evolved in simulation can present serious problems for an engineer when translating simplified simulated mechanisms into working devices, often drawing...
— The principle of Series Elastic Actuation offers considerable advantages for haptic displays compared to stiff actuators. The interaction force between motor and load is direct...
