Claim 7:
8. An actuator control system comprising:
(a) a plurality of electro-mechanical actuators for operating one or more end effectors;
(b) a plurality of position sensors associated with the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators and one or more end effectors; and
(c) a control system configured to:
(i) receive an activation command signal;
(ii) send a speed command to each of the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators;
(iii) receive outputs of the position sensors and calculate actual position values;
(iv) calculate a mean position value based on the actual position values; and
(v) adjust the speed command for each of the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators such that each of the actual position values matches the mean position value, thereby synchronizing the actual positions of the plurality of electro-mechanical actuators or end effectors together.
