The hybrids can be actuated for multiple cycles and with similar dimensional changes (Supplementary Figure 8).
In summary, the micro-fabricated cantilever arrays (supplemental Figure S1) are actuated for a given frequency range and the response is recorded as amplitude and phase spectra for the individual cantilever sensors.
This nanopositioner is actuated by piezoelectric actuators.
For scanning and force spectroscopy measurements the sample is actuated by a simple piezo disk actuator, shown in the figure to the right.
Each joint is actuated by a powerful electric DC motor for a total of three motors per leg.
This study describes a proof-of-concept device for automated blood sampling which may be actuated by a climber without technical expertise.
"They should have a record of the door remaining open for X period of time, and the door lock being actuated again.
Some are actuated simply by a love of adventure, some have the keen thirst for scientific knowledge, and others again are drawn away from the trodden paths by the 'lure of little voices,' the mysterious fascination of the unknown".
The robot is actuated with pleated pneumatic artificial muscles which have interesting characteristics that can be exploited for legged machines.
The microrobots were actuated to their new positions at speeds of 5.4, 4.94, 2.86, and 4.3 μm/s for Microrobots 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively (Fig. 6b).
