Sliding-mode controller synthesis of robotic manipulator based on a new modified reaching law.

Mathematical biosciences and engineering : MBE
In this study, an adaptive modified reaching law-based switch controller design was developed for robotic manipulator systems using the disturbance observer (DO) approach. Firstly, a standard DO is employed to estimate the unknown disturbances of the...

The Delta Robot-A long travel nano-positioning stage for scanning x-ray microscopy.

The Review of scientific instruments
A new stage design concept, the Delta Robot, is presented, which is a parallel kinematic design for scanning x-ray microscopy applications. The stage employs three orthogonal voice coils, which actuate parallelogram flexures. The design has a 3 mm tr...

Force and torque-free helical tail robot to study low Reynolds number micro-organism swimming.

The Review of scientific instruments
Helical propulsion is used by many micro-organisms to swim in viscous-dominated environments. Their swimming dynamics are relatively well understood, but a detailed study of the flow fields is still needed to understand wall effects and hydrodynamic ...

How signals interact in multimodal displays: Insights from a robotic frog.

The Journal of animal ecology

Linguistic Redundancy and its Effects on Younger and Older Adults' Real-Time Comprehension and Memory.

Cognitive science
Redundant modifiers can facilitate referential interpretation by narrowing attention to intended referents. This is intriguing because, on traditional accounts, redundancy should impair comprehension. Little is known, however, about the effects of re...

Feasibility of salvage robotic partial nephrectomy after ablative treatment failure (UroCCR-62 study).

Minerva urology and nephrology
BACKGROUND: Ablative therapies (AT) are increasingly being offered to patients with kidney tumors. In cases of failure or local relapse, salvage surgery may be required. Such procedures often require an open approach, are difficult and have received ...
