Introduction to nanomachines
Nanomachines are molecular mechanisms which execute a function when receive a stimulus. Today’s subject is an introduction with examples.
What are degrees of freedom?
This post’s subject are degrees of freedom (DOF). The concept in mechanics and how to calculate DOF in a mechanical system.
MEMS manufacturing (Part 2, surface micromachining)
In this part about MEMS manufacturing, the subject is surface micromachining. A very different method from the one shown in previous part.
MEMS manufacturing (Part 1)
MEMS manufacturing is similar to process used to fabricate microelectronic circuits. The bulk micromachining is today’s subject.
PID controller tuning: Ziegler-Nichols methods
The classical Ziegler-Nichols methods, introduced in 1942, are some of the most known and applied tuning methods for PID controllers.
Shape-changing robots in development
NASA is developing a group of shape-changing explorer robots called Shapeshifter to explore Saturn’s moons.
Meet the telepresence robots
Telepresence robots or robotic avatars are machines for communication and interaction with distant environments. Will be used in many areas and are this post’s subject.
What are MEMS?
MEMS are abbreviation of Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems, are miniaturized electromechanical machines. An introduction to MEMS and some of its applications are today’s subject.
What is Kalman filter?
This post’s subject is Kalman filter. It is a very useful tool in control systems, where there is no certainty in system’s information.
