The beauty of the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) algorithm for feedback control is its simplicity and efficiency. Those are main reasons why PID controller most common form feedback. combines three natural ways taking into account error: actual (proportional), accumulated (integral), predicted (derivative) values; gains depend on magnitude error, time required to eliminate prediction horizon error. This paper explores new meaning integral derivative actions, gains, derived by...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide, according to recent reports from World Health Organization (WHO). This fact encourages research into cardiovascular system (CVS) multiple and different points view than those given by medical perspective, highlighting among them computational mathematical models that involve experiments much simpler less expensive be performed in comparison with vivo or vitro heart experiments. However, CVS is a complex needs...
Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) are electrically driven materials that undergo bending deformations in the presence of relatively low external voltages, exhibiting a great potential as actuators applications soft robotics, microrobotics, and bioengineering, among others. This paper presents an artificial eukaryotic flagellum (AEF) swimming robot made up IPMC segments for study planar wave generation propulsion by single distributed actuation, i.e., considering first link actuator or...
Abstract This study focused on the relationship between sustainability reporting (SR), circular economy (CE), and United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including an examination of mediator role CE in SR–SDGs relationship. The SR concept refers to ways which companies communicate with their internal external stakeholders about initiatives. Researchers have confirmed that contributes achievement SDGs based SR. However, literature does not offer any comprehensive frameworks...
This paper presents an improved locomotion for N-link swimming artificial eukaryotic flagellum (AEF) microrobot using a fractional order approach both the navigation waveform and control. The proposed is tested on simulator of robot, developed in MATLAB/Simulink environment, which allows to select different modes control strategies, as well evaluate performance terms propulsion, power efficiency or tracking. Different robust proportional-derivative (PDμ) controllers are designed reduce...
This paper studies the displacement and efficiency of a Purcell’s three-link microswimmer in low Reynolds number regime, capable moving by implementation motion primitive or gait. An optimization is accomplished attending to geometry swimmer primitives, considering shape gait its amplitude. The objective find swimmer, amplitude gaits which make optimal efficiency, both an individual way combined (the last case will be referred as multiobjective optimization). Three traditional are compared...
Abstract Introduction Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Since cardiovascular system (CVS) is complex, use computational models to diagnose and/or predict its behavior a common practice, being great interest in case certain pathologies. This work presents novel electrical model CVS that extends classical Windkessel left carotid artery for prototype validation or simulator generation. Methods The has been validated by comparing simulated hemodynamic parameters...
The Purcell’s swimmer, consisting of three links with two one-degree-of-freedom joints as defined by Edward M. Purcell, has been studied several authors since its introduction in 1977. Researchers have delved into mathematical foundations, analysing and optimising motion for efficient propulsion. However, despite these theoretical advances, the practical realisation experimental characterisation swimmers remains relatively unexplored. Critical aspects such material selection, manufacturing...

Control of flexible robots that interact with the environment presents some difficulties mainly due to fact mechanical impedance such is unknown. This paper deals modeling when an one-link arm contacts it. Elastic and viscoelastic models, latter both integer fractional orders, are considered in this work classify contacted environment. Experimental results, corresponding impacts 26 different soft objects, given identify parameters above-mentioned models. The goodness adjustment each model...
One of the few possible mechanisms for self-propulsion at low Reynolds number (henceforth, Re) is undulations an elastic tail, as proposed in classical work Purcell 1977. This paper studies this effect by investigating a variant Purcells three-link swimmer model where lateral links are flexible, specifically fabricated ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC), means simulations COMSOL Multiphysics. Firstly, material developed and simulated comparison with results that can be found literature....
