This paper reports the initial experimental results of a wearable sensorimotor enhancer for a fingertip. A shorttime exposure of tactile receptors to sub-sensory white-noise vibration is known to improve the tactile ...

Design and analysis of piezoelectric actuators having over 20% effective strain using an exponential strain amplification mechanism are presented in this paper. Piezoelectric ceramic material, such as lead zirconate titanate ...

If the modal response for a single degree of freedom flexible system is known, a command generation architecture can be determined which schedules on/off actuator effort such that the resulting motion will have zero ...
