Previous chapters have brought us to the point where, given a system design, we can look at it every which way, analyze and specify its performance, and communicate its structure and behavior. This ...

For those new to fields like robotics or aerospace, it can seem at first glance that a problem like moving a robot arm or flying an RC airplane might be simple problems to solve. It turns out, however ...

The most recent class of control techniques to be used are collectively referred to as adaptive control. Although the basic algorithms have been known for decades, they have not been applied in many ...

The diagram depicts how a negative feedback loop engineered directly into the bacteria can help regulate the production of a key enzyme. The in-cell feedback controller enables HISICC to apply brakes ...

Scientists designed a new type of controller for the robotic arm used in robotic surgery. Their controller combines the two distinct types of gripping used in commercially available robotic systems to ...

The Department of Transportation will build a “brand new air traffic control system” by 2028, Secretary Sean Duffy announced Thursday. “The FAA is going to undertake an initiative that has never been ...

The problems with the nation’s air traffic control system have been spotlighted during the government shutdown, with controllers working without pay for almost a month and a half and hundreds calling ...
