Power/energy metrics for controller evaluation of actuators similar to biological systems

Actuator design using biomimicry methods and a pneumatic muscle system

“…More recently, implementation results have been demonstrated in Repperger, Phillips, Neidhard-Doll, Reynolds, and Berlin (2005) and we present a task showing more advanced results. The goal is to perform force tracking, with a position constraint covering the material presented previously.…”

“…(17) can be considered in several ways (Repperger et al, 2005). One key output variable is area A 1 in Fig.…”

Modeling and Adaptive Self-Tuning MVC Control of PAM Manipulator Using Online Observer Optimized with Modified Genetic Algorithm

“…PAM actuators have the highest power/weight and power/volume ratios as well in comparison with other actuators [1,2](2005). Many potential applications involve some type of exo-skeletal or link segment configuration that attaches to existing anatomical body-segments [3][4][5][6].…”

Sensor-Actuator Supported Implicit Interaction in Driver Assistance Systems

“…This is the sense of force perception on the skin and haptic devices can be seen as a special form of a force display [124]. Beside vision and hearing, the sense of touch is considered the most important sensory channel for future vehicular applications and has the potential to improve driving safety, enhance driving experience, and others [125].…”

“…There is considerable interest with regard to the three major traditional senses vision, hearing, and touch in manipulating how these sensory modalities can improve human interaction with the external environment [124]. Especially haptic stimulation allows access to an important and often overlooked information channel in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI).…”
