Humans live in a world where safety-critical systems are at work all around them. Scientists want to ensure that the proper safety constraints are in place so these systems can operate safely while ...

Simplified machine designs with fewer components run more efficiently and are less expensive to build. Older mechanical power transmission and actuator technologies, such as chain, rack and pinion and ...

One of the core components of a gas system is the gas regulator, which is used to stably output high-pressure gas from the ...

Combustion equipment safety is essential for the daily operation of facilities and safety of plant personnel. Safety protocols and mechanisms in industrial plants have improved drastically in the last ...

Factory equipment continues to become increasingly intelligent in large part due to the improved processing power and communication abilities found within underlying controllers, sensors, and ...

To a machine designer, “stay safe” is not just a cheerful slogan or wishful thinking. Operator safety is a central design issue. The international standard, ISO 12100:2010 Safety of machinery – ...

Imagine a potential situation in a busy operating room: a laser system still has a wireless footswitch paired to it and sitting elsewhere, while a wired footswitch is also plugged into the same system ...

The safety design adheres to the principle of 'one fault at work, two faults safely,' ensuring that after a single fault, platform functions and critical tasks can operate normally. In the event of a ...

Students in our graduate certificate in Safety and Security of Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems learn cyber-physical safety and security strategies arising from modern, advanced system control ...

Identify and address the critical questions that consistently impact automation project outcomes across diverse industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals and transportation. Learn technical ...

Imagine having a continuum soft robotic arm bend around a bunch of grapes or broccoli, adjusting its grip in real time as it lifts the object. Unlike traditional rigid robots that generally aim to ...
