Positional feedback of a linear track slider using a low-cost stretch sensor

The artificial muscles of a biomimetic model of the human stomach require positional control of the (linear track) sliders that the actuated muscles are attached to. A novel servomechanism for positional control of a slider on a linear track has been explored using a basic, low -cost stretch sensor as a means in determining the sliders' absolute position over time. The stretch sensor was construct...
