Motion engineers can spend hours optimizing tuning parameters in servo-based systems, and still not get the performance they want. Their time may also be wasted if, at some point in the project, they ...

Download the PDF of this article. In high-throughput applications, standard triangular or trapezoidal motion profiles have been widely utilized to reach a desired position quickly. As shown in the ...

Background Change of direction (CoD) is associated with performance and injury in multidirectional sports. CoD consists of different phases (initial acceleration, deceleration, and re-acceleration) ...

Several areas of investigation for deceleration of an interstellar probe have been identified and these include: Reverse engine thrust, solar sail, Magsail, Medusa sail, microwave sail, orbital ...
