Actuators are the input and output devices that connect electronic, hydraulic or pneumatic control systems to their environment. They convert external forces or conditions, such as temperature ...

A dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma actuator for controlling airflow is proposed. It consists of diverging and converging nozzles, two concentric cylinders, and an actuator mounted in between ...

This paper introduces a control approach for a motion system driven by a class of actuators with multiple nonlinearities. The proposed approach presents a combination of a feedforward controller and ...

RISE Robotics has continued to raise funding for its Beltdraulic actuation system, which it said offers advantages over hydraulics.
