The prepaid card market ensures convenience, security, and financial flexibility for consumers and businesses. It includes solutions such as open-loop cards, closed-loop cards, payroll cards ...

Liquid-handling systems often use peristaltic pumps to perform critical operations. Examples of applications and the functions performed by peristaltic pumps include: An important advantage of ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

Titanio series stepper drives from Ever Motion Solutions include three new drives available with two open-loop (no encoder feedback) models and one open/closed-loop version (a motor-mounted encoder ...

The development of new studies that consider different structures of the hierarchical sensorimotor control system is essential to enable a more holistic understanding about movement. The incorporation ...

Abstract: This paper presents two main contributions. First, it is shown that if a nonlinear time-varying system is contractive, then it is incrementally exponentially stable. Second, building on this ...

Abstract: This letter presents a framework for producing robotic fabrics using square lattice formations of interlinked Kilobot modules. The framework supports: (i) fabrics of arbitrary size and shape ...

Robots have proven very useful in automating industrial processes. Their rigid components and powerful actuators, however, render them unsafe or unfit to work in normal human environments such as ...
