The contextual malleability of approach-avoidance training effects : approaching or avoiding fear conditioned stimuli modulates effects of approach-avoidance training [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Previous research showed that the repeated approaching of one stimulus and avoiding of another stimulus typically leads to more positive evaluations of the former stimuli.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Learning how to gain rewards (approach learning) and avoid punishments (avoidance learning) is fundamental for everyday life. While individual differences in approach and avoidance learning styles have been related to genetics and aging, the contribution

A Novel Approach for a Inverse Kinematics Solution of a Redundant Manipulator

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Kinematically-redundant manipulators present considerable difficulties, especially from the view of control. A high number of degrees of freedom are used to control so-called secondary tasks in order to optimize manipulator motion.
