To exploit the energy-saving potential of pneumatic actuator systems, various energy-saving circuits have been developed in recent decades. However, the principle of a pressure-based air supply cut-off has only been considered to a limited extent. Th...
Inchworms are a widely adopted bio-inspired model for soft crawling robots. Taking advantage of the good controllability of Shape Memory Alloy (SMA), this paper designs and manufactures an inchworm-inspired soft robot driven by SMA. Firstly, in the s...
Environmental factors, such as pressure and temperature, are known to contribute to the formation of ulcers that seriously affect bedridden individuals. Researchers have proposed several technologies to achieve the long-term monitoring of those param...
A high proportion of the CO2 emissions worldwide are caused by the construction sector or are associated with buildings. Every part of the industry needs to reduce its share of emissions, so the building sector must also do its part. One possible sol...
In this work, a fixed-time leader-following event-triggered (ET) consensus problem for multi-agent systems (MASs) with external disturbances is investigated. A distributed observer is developed to achieve the estimated state of the leader. By means o...
The hydraulic pump plays a pivotal role in engineering machinery, and it is essential to continuously monitor its operating status. However, many vital signals for monitoring cannot be directly obtained in practical applications. To address this, we...
This article proposes a hierarchical control strategy to address semi-ABS control as well as the precise clamping force control problems for an integrated electric parking brake (iEPB) system. To this end, a detailed system model, including modeling...
In order to better meet the practical application needs of mobile robots, this study innovatively designs an autonomous obstacle avoidance and trajectory planning control strategy with low computational complexity, high cost-effectiveness, and the ab...
Soft robots distinguish themselves from traditional robots by embracing flexible kinematics. Because of their recent emergence, there exist numerous uncharted territories, including novel actuators, manufacturing processes, and advanced control metho...
In order to obtain highly accurate infrared spectra, the optical path scanning control system in a portable Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) must be able to realize highly stable reciprocal scanning. To address the positional localization and spe...
