چکیده
Paper is an abundant, lightweight, and biodegradable material that has been used for centuries for printing, packaging, and absorbing liquids. Paper is a porous hydrophilic network of intertwined cellulose fi bers. [ 1 ] This network defi nes the mechanical and fl uidic properties of the material. [ 2 ] In recent years, paper has become increasingly interesting as a material in new applications. [ 3–5 ] For example, we and others have used it for microfl uidic [ 6–10 ] and electroanalytical devices as the basis for low-cost diagnostics, [ 11,12 ]

Task-space Control of Electrically Driven Robots
Actuators of robot operate in the joint-space while the end-effect or of robot is controlled in the task-space. Therefore, designing a control system for a robotic system in the task-space requires the jacobian matrix information for transforming joint-space to task-space, which suffers from uncertainties. This paper deals with the robust task-space control of electrically driven robot manipula...
متن کاملInteger-order Versus Fractional-order Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Electrically Driven Robots with Elastic Joints
Real-time robust adaptive fuzzy fractional-order control of electrically driven flexible-joint robots has been addressed in this paper. Two important practical situations have been considered: the fact that robot actuators have limited voltage, and the fact that current signals are contaminated with noise. Through of a novel voltage-based fractional order control for an integer-order dynamical ...
متن کاملImpedance Control of Robots Using Voltage Control Strategy Revisited
In this note, we show that the impedance control strategy proposed in the paper is not feasible from practical implementation point of view. Next, a robust impedance controller is proposed for electrically driven robots using Fourier series (FS). The fact that robots' actuators have limited voltage is also considered in controller design procedure. In comparison with other impedance controllers...
متن کاملCharacterization of Kink Actuators as Compared to Traditional Chevron Shaped Bent-Beam Electrothermal Actuators
This paper compares the design and performance of kink actuators, a modified version of the bent-beam thermal actuator, to the standard chevron-shaped designs. A variety of kink and chevron actuator designs were fabricated from polysilicon. While the actuators were electrically probed, these designs were tested using a probe station connected to a National Instruments (NI) controller that uses ...
