When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Sometimes it’s necessary to make do with whatever parts one has on hand, but the results of squashing a square peg into a round hole are not always as elegant as [Juan Gg]’s programmable DC load with ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

George Russell returned to an approach that suits him well as he claimed pole position for the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix in Saturday's qualifying session. The pre-season title favourite won the ...

Abstract: This paper presents a precision capacitive rotary encoder that integrates a shared charge amplifier, and a multi-stage offset calibration scheme. Recently, capacitive encoders have gained ...

Abstract: Traditional proportional integral derivative (PID) falls short for precise control of DC motor speed under changing conditions. This paper presents a novel FPGA based IP (intellectual ...

If you ever tried to play the arcade version of Arkanoid on an emulator, you may have found the game impossibly hard. And by that I mean impossible. That's because the game was designed to be played ...
