Ueda gave a plenary talk at IEEE AIM 2017, Munich
Cellular Actuators inspired by Biological Muscles, Dr. Jun Ueda, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA Actuators are one of the key components in robotic and mechatronic systems. Motions generated by actuators enable computer-controlled systems to interact with the physical world. Inspired by unique characteristics of biological muscles, a system-level approach…
