Assembly orientation of inductor in switching regulators matters. Note inductor orientation and its repeatability when measuring emissions- be aware of differences regarding chosen inductor, test in both directions and communicate to board production possible assembly pitfalls if orientation cannot be determined. Improvement could be a simple 180° inductor rotation away.…

A few years ago, Martin Ford published a book called Architects of Intelligence, in which he interviewed 23 of the most experienced AI and robotics researchers in the world. Those interviews are just as fascinating to read now as they were in 2018, but Ford's since had some extra time…

Faster Microfiber Actuators Mimic Human Muscle

14 Σεπτεμβρίου 2021 by paulkokos

paulkokos

Robotics, prosthetics, and other engineering applications routinely use actuators that imitate the contraction of animal muscles. However, the speed and efficiency of natural muscle fibers is a demanding benchmark. Despite new developments in actuation technologies, for the most past artificial muscles are either too large, too slow, or too weak.Recently,…
