this survey was done for constructing an egg sorting machine which could sort white eggs from fertilized eggs. egg sorting machine was constructed based on physiological properties of trout egg. fertilized eggs have much more elasticity than white or non-hatched eggs. so the hatched eggs will fly back if were hit to a solid surface. the machine divided to 5 parts including mechanical, electrica...

NASA Dryden Flight Research Center has developed a flush airdata sensing (FADS) system on a sharp-nosed, wedge-shaped vehicle. This paper details the design and calibration of a real-time angle-ofattack estimation scheme developed to meet the onboard airdata measurement requirements for a research vehicle equipped with a supersonic-combustion ramjet engine. The FADS system has been designed to ...

Abstract—Pneumatic artificial muscles are a quite interesting type of actuators which have a very high power-to-weight and power-to-volume ratio. However, their efficient use requires very accurate control methods which can take into account their complex dynamic, which is highly nonlinear. This paper consider a model of two-degree-of-freedom platform whose attitude is determined by three pneum...

A one-degree-of-freedom set-up driven by pneumatic muscles was designed and built in order to research the applicability of pneumatic artificial muscles in industrial applications, especially in wearable robots such as exoskeletons. The experimental set-up is very non-linear and very difficult to control properly. This paper describes the control of this mechatronic system’s interaction with it...
