SOFT PNEUMATIC ACTUATORS FOR REHABILITATION

Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Rehabilitation

Pneumatic artificial muscles are pneumatic devices with practical and various applications as common actuators.They, as human muscles, work in agonistic-antagonistic way, giving a traction force only when supplied by compressed air.The state of the art of soft pneumatic actuators is here analyzed: different models of pneumatic muscles are considere

Development of FPGA-based neural network regression models for the ATLAS Phase-II barrel muon trigger upgrade

Effective selection of muon candidates is the cornerstone of the LHC physics programme.The ATLAS experiment uses a two-level trigger system for real-time selection of interesting Loop Rolls collision events.The first-level hardware trigger system uses the Resistive Plate Chamber detector (RPC) for selecting muon candidates in the central (barrel) r
