ADAPTIVE CONTROL SYSTEMS have been in use since the early 1960s, but in the last few years, faster microprocessors and lower cost computer memory have dramatically increased the benefits that come ...

Today’s cars don’t look all that different from the cars of 10, 20, or even 30 years ago, but once you delve past the drivetrain, the seating configuration, or the body style, you’ll find today’s cars ...

This system was developed to increase machine tool productivity with Fanuc FA America's iAdapt S adaptive control solution. Fanuc FA America's newly patented CNC Adaptive Control System measures the ...

Transportation officials and several state highway agencies are urging drivers to think twice before relying on adaptive cruise control during heavy rain. The message isn’t “never use it,” but more ...

A DC-DC Converter with fixed compensation parameters cannot perform well if load dynamics vary widely. A better approach is adaptive control, which can handle a broad range of parameter variations ...

Innovations in embedded computing, sensors and batteries enabled the introduction of robotic prostheses designed to help restore locomotion to individuals with disabilities. Such prostheses are moved ...

Adaptive cruise control is common on many high-end cars, but did you know that a massive monthly payment isn’t necessary to access the technology? Cars with adaptive cruise control will slow down and ...

Part 1 discussed “surround sensing” and frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar as the basis of an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). A Gunn oscillator (Gunn VCO) is often used to generate the ...

An autonomous drone carrying water to help extinguish a wildfire in the Sierra Nevada might encounter swirling Santa Ana winds that threaten to push it off course. Rapidly adapting to these unknown ...
