Design method for a bionic wrist based on tensegrity structures
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2020 The traditional bionic upper limb structure design is limited by the motion pair and cannot guarantee the flexibility of the mechanical structure. The tensegrity structure has the characteristics of high deformability, strong self-adaptability, and ...

Reactive Reinforcement Learning in Asynchronous Environments
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2018 The relationship between a reinforcement learning (RL) agent and an asynchronous environment is often ignored. Frequently used models of the interaction between an agent and its environment, such as Markov Decision Processes (MDP) or Semi-Markov Decision

Isometric hip muscle strength in posttraumatic below-knee amputees [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2007 Background/Aim. Traumas and war injuries, next to chronic occlusive artery disease and diabetes mellitus-derived complications, are the most frequent cause of the lower limbs amputation.

Analysing co-evolution among artificial 3D creatures [PDF]
, 2006 This paper is concerned with the analysis of coevolutionary dynamics among 3D artificial creatures, similar to those introduced by Sims (1). Coevolution is subject to complex dynamics which are notoriously difficult to analyse.

Effect of a unilateral hind limb orthotic lift on upper body movement symmetry in the trotting horse [PDF]
, 2018 In trotting horses, movement asymmetry is associated with ground reaction force asymmetry. In humans, limb length differences influence contralateral force production. Here we investigate whether horses, in immediate reaction to limb length changes, show

Osseointegrated prostheses for rehabilitation following amputation : The pioneering Swedish model. [PDF]
, 2017 The direct attachment of osseointegrated (OI) prostheses to the skeleton avoids the inherent problems of socket suspension. It also provides physiological weight bearing, improved range of motion in the proximal joint, as well as osseoperceptive sensory ...
