We describe a minimally-invasive and reproducible method to measure canine pelvic limb muscle strength and muscle response to repeated eccentric contractions. The pelvic limb of an anesthetized dog is immobilized in a stereotactic frame to align the tibia at a right angle to the femur. Adhesive wrap affixes the paw to a pedal mounted on the shaft of a servomotor to measure torque. Percutaneous ...

El presente documento tiene como propósito el diseño de un servomotor, que es una pieza clave para la construcción cada las articulaciones presentes en prototipo mecánico y automatizado brazo robótico. Se busca implementarlo dar solución a problemáticas presenta producción floricultura, ubicado sector Madrid, Cundinamarca (Colombia), resaltando este territorio más representativo nivel nacional ...

This paper presents the detailed design of Type-2 Fuzzy Logic PI controller to control the speed of a DC servomotor. The controller is explored extensively in terms of number, type of membership functions and judged in 3 different cases; which are unity step response, load disturbance and noise disturbance. The performance of the controller is measured in terms of parameters such as rise time, ...

This article describes a method for the real-time monitoring of current consumed by Dynamixel MX 64 AT servomotor used in actuation system modular mobile robotic platforms having differential locomotion and conventional wheels. The data acquisition is based on an Arduino Mega 2560 development board interfaced with Matlab Simulink ASC712-5A hall sensor detection. A model presented that performs ...

The coolant temperature of internal combustion engines can be regulated effectively by advanced thermal management systems that feature multiple computer controlled servomotor actuators (i.e., a variable position smart valve, variable speed electric water pump, variable speed electric radiator fan). When the components of the advanced thermal management system function harmoniously, desired the...

In the paper, we interest to smart actuators. External model has been defined in order to improve behavioural of actuator in presence of failures. The external model requires information from Fault Detection and Isolation algorithms. To complete the information providing to the users, we associate bond graph methodology to the external model in order to complete the information with physical kn...
