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 ...

How self-tuning can support an adaptive control strategy. How Model Reference Adaptive Control can improve adaptability. The different types of MRAC. A certain amount of flexibility is always good to ...

Historically, the performance and power consumption of a system was controlled by what could be done at design time, but chips today are becoming a lot more adaptive. This has become a necessity for ...

The concept of cruise control in cars has been around for decades, but it's only been in the last 10 to 20 years or so that it's really come into its own as a vital feature. The overall goal of basic ...

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 ...

It’s not a stretch to call cruise control one of the earliest driving aids. It wasn’t always electronic, and it certainly didn’t make your grandfather’s 1982 Cadillac Seville autonomous, but it was a ...

Adaptive Ride Control (ARC) is a General Motors chassis and suspension technology that provides premium driving refinement with exceptional responsiveness. The system delivers a high level of primary ...

Adaptive cruise control (ACC) is an intelligent form of cruise control that slows down and speeds up automatically to keep pace with the car in front of you. The driver sets the maximum speed -- just ...

Like conventional cruise control, adaptive cruise control maintains a desired speed set by the driver. However, adaptive cruise control (often abbreviated as ACC) makes things more convenient by ...
