Types of Control Systems • Open-loop control system: The output quantity has no effect upon the input quantity • Closed-loop control system: The output has a direct effect upon the input quantity
Open-loop System Open-loop Output Command Reference Selector Ref Dynamic Unit Input Input
Closed-loop System Closed-loop Combiner (+-) Output Command Ref Reference Selector Dynamic Unit Input Input Feedback Element
Application Areas • Electrical circuits • Mechanical Systems • Thermal Systems • Fluid Systems
Types of Control • Analog: Continuous in time • Digital: Discrete in time
Prosthetic Limbs That Can Feel Transplant nerves from amputated hand to chest Patient can feel hand sensation in chest Prosthetic arms with sensors on fingers! Transfer tactile info from device to chest Wearer feels like they have a real hand Application Hold your pencil Think of life without feeling in your fingers
Technology • Peripheral Nerve Interface • Implanted device • Move arm like real one • Sense arm’s motion, location, and feel objects • Electronics, controls, human factors, wireless • Size: a pill inserted in what is left of amputated arm or shoulder or external sensors Brain Nerve impulses from residual limb Bionic arm Implanted or external sensors
