To run a stepper motor smoothly, it's necessary to apply linear acceleration. However, conventional algorithms to generate linear acceleration require complicated mathematics, which makes it difficult ...

Rolling-ring drives are friction drives that convert the constant rotary motion of a plain shaft into a traversing action that moves an attached carriage. Used in positioning and reciprocating ...

In addition to Fitts’ Law, we (Schmidt, Zelaznik, Hawkins, Frank & Quinn, 1979) proposed a linear speed-accuracy trade-off. These two laws appear to be fundamentally different. We have begun a series ...

We began by recording neuronal activity under strict experimental control of the animal’s running speed. Rats traversed a 4 m long linear track with their body confined inside a computer-driven ...
