All cables have small amounts of capacitance between adjacent conductors. This capacitance is a direct function of the cable s length, and tends to round off the leading edge of the square wave signal, increasing rise times. It can also distort the signal to the extent of causing errors in the system.

The advancement of robotic systems has revolutionized numerous industries, yet their operation often demands specialized technical knowledge, limiting accessibility for non-expert users. This paper introduces ROSA (Robot Operating System Agent), an AI-powered agent that bridges the gap between the Robot Operating Syste...

- 1904 - The tycoon George Westinghouse (most well known for being Nikola Tesla's financier during the infamous War of the Currents) receives a patent for a thrust bearing integrated into a vertical steam turbine. A prolific engineer and inventor in his own right, he leveraged the knowledge gained from his invention of...

While specifying tasks in the minimum-time formulation is straightforward, achieving successful learning can be challenging with complex real-world problems. One factor that impacts the difficulty of a minimum-time task is the exploration strategy. An implicit way of controlling exploration in RL is to invoke a environ...

In this example sketch, the for loops control the number of steps the stepper motor will take. The code within the for loop results in 1 step of the stepper motor. Because the code in the loop is executed 200 times (stepsPerRevolution), this results in 1 revolution. In the last two loops, the code within the for loop i...

Nonlinear optimization methods have been extensively used for robotic path planning as well, with plenty of attention being focused on evolutionary algorithms, especially Genetic Algorithms (GA), for point-to-point trajectories. This is due to several advantages they have over other methods: they allow for finding a gl...

A computer program controls motors that drive translation stages in a metrology system that consists of a pair of two-axis cathetometers. This program is specific to Compumotor Gemini (or equivalent) motors and the Compumotor 6K-series (or equivalent) motor controller. Relative to the software supplied with the control...

Performance for an obstacle circumvention task was assessed under conditions of visual, auditory only (using echolocation) and tactile (using a sensory substitution device, SSD) guidance. A Vicon motion capture system was used to measure human movement kinematics objectively. Ten normally sighted participants, 8 blind ...

One issue we have not yet addressed is how to define IK problems on a computer rather than mathematically. This is not so much of a problem with analytical methods --- you have spent hours deriving the solution and coding it up so you know exactly what the inputs and outputs need to be. But the strength of numerical me...
