Here is a line following robot using PID controller which moves extremely smooth along a line. The robot was designed to follow a 0.75″, 1″, 1.5″ and 2″ track width. Gayan has developed this robot to ...

Imagine trying to balance a heavy metal ball bearing on a cafeteria tray. It’s not the easiest thing in the world! In fact, it’s perhaps a task better automated, as [skulkami3000] demonstrates with ...

Ballbots are versatile robotic systems with the ability to move around in all directions. This makes it tricky to control their movement. In a recent study, a team has proposed a novel proportional ...

NEW YORK — Imagine a robot. Not just any robot, but the kind that goes into nuclear accidents for industrial clean-up, or out in the field on bomb disposal duty. It's a rough life for a robot. But you ...

Any good athlete will tell you that the key to an exceptional performance is to imagine the task ahead and then to practice until the body can bring this imagined sequence into reality. Similarly, ...

At the core of any modern industrial process is a control system guaranteeing precision, stability, and efficiency. Perhaps the most commonly used are PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) ...
