Previous chapters have brought us to the point where, given a system design, we can look at it every which way, analyze and specify its performance, and communicate its structure and behavior. This ...

Consider the features and typical applications for industrial controllers to understand what type of controller fits each application. Do you need a programmable logic controller (PLC), programmable ...

The Takagi--Sugeno (T--S) fuzzy descriptor system offers a promising avenue for controlling non-linear systems but lacks optimal control strategies. Moreover, while robust control methods have been ...

The world has faced many geopolitical, environmental, economic, and technological changes over the past several years, and with these have come new learnings and opportunities to refine our practices ...

A temperature controller is an instrument that controls temperatures, often without extensive operator involvement. In a temperature controller system, the controller accepts a temperature sensor as ...

An HVAC company in search of modern machine-control advantages finds an Arduino-compatible open PLC controller is the solution. Like many modern-day makers and hobbyists, I have always been inspired ...

Scientists designed a new type of controller for the robotic arm used in robotic surgery. Their controller combines the two distinct types of gripping used in commercially available robotic systems to ...

Explore how digital feedback controllers manage motors, pressure, temperature, and more, and learn why ADC and DAC performance are crucial when designing robust embedded systems. How to define the ...

Amy Pritchett receives funding from the National Science Foundation through the Center for Advanced Aerial Mobility and Sensors (CAAMS) on the topic of in-flight autonomy capable of resolving faults ...
