— In this paper, the tendon-sheath driving system for a robotic hand is presented and its force transmission characteristics are analyzed. The use of tendon-based transmission pe...
This paper presents a novel colored Petri net model for the simulation of fully-switched Ethernet based networked control systems (NCS). The model of the NCS is built from models ...
: Much of the current theory of networked control systems uses simple point-to-point communiodels as an abstraction of the underlying network. As a result, the controller has very ...

—This paper reports the design and development processes of a totally decoupled flexure-based XYZ parallel-kinematics micropositioning stage with piezoelectric actuation. The un...
This paper addresses the problem of reducing the hysteresis found in the actuation of most smart materials. They are divided in two groups: systems with no saturation (e.g. piezoe...
