Figure 1-4: Occurrence of Earthquakes Globally (Digital Tectonic Activity Map (DTAM ), 2002). Taken from [4]. The seismicity or seismic activity of an area refers to the frequency, type and size of earthquakes experienced over a period of time. Earthquakes typically occur along tectonic plate boundaries, but some occur along fault lines in the middle of the plates as well. Countries around the Pacific Rim are heavily affected, as are many countries in the Mediterranean region and western and southern Asia(see Figure 1-4) [16].

jrk drivers, and the AND gate circuit, three protoboards were used (see Figure 3-2). The base of the prototype is a plastic plate where all components are fixed. This material was used because unlike wood, acrylic, or metal, it is easy and fast to make fixation points for the components. For the connection of the power supply channels, the communication lines of the jrk drivers, and the AND gate circuit, three protoboards were used (see Figure 3-2).

Using this calculations as base, it is possible to determine if the actuators are able to move from one point to another at the desired speed. If one movement require a speed higher than the maximum speed given by the actuators of the prototype (14.6 mm/s), the movement or routine cannot be reproduced by the SP.

In order to test the Direct current (DC ) motor model, the two equilibrium conditions were tested, the first one with no external load (0 N), and the second one with full load capacity (500 N); after performing the simulation, the linear velocity was plotted in order to see if the maximum velocity in each condition corresponds to the one defined in the actuator data sheet [2] by the fabricator. The resulting plots shown in Figure 5-8 show that the velocity in each condition corresponds to the given ones by the fabricator (see Figure 5-9).

6.2 Ziegler Nichols tuning The Ziegler-Nichols method allows to adjust or "tune" a PID controller empirically, without knowing the plant or the controlled system equations. These adjustment rules proposed by Ziegler and Nichols [41] were published in 1942 and since then it is one of the most widely used and widely used tuning methods. The values proposed by this method try to achieve in the feedback system a step response with a maximum overshoot of 25%, which is a robust value with good characteristics of speed and stability for most systems.
