Efficient estimation of moments in linear mixed models

open access: yes, 2012
In the linear random effects model, when distributional assumptions such as normality of the error variables cannot be justified, moments may serve as alternatives to describe relevant distributions in neighborhoods of their means.

A Review on Sensor Technologies, Control Approaches, and Emerging Challenges in Soft Robotics

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review provides an introspective of sensors and controllers in soft robotics. Initially describing the current sensing methods, then moving on to the control methods utilized, and finally ending with challenges and future directions in soft robotics focusing on the material innovations, sensor fusion, and embedded intelligence for sensors and ...

An asymptotic theory for randomly forced discrete nonlinear heat equations

open access: yes, 2012
We study discrete nonlinear parabolic stochastic heat equations of the form, $u_{n+1}(x)-u_n(x)=(\mathcal {L}u_n)(x)+\sigma(u_n(x))\xi_n(x)$, for $n\in {\mathbf{Z}}_+$ and $x\in {\mathbf{Z}}^d$, where $\boldsymbol \xi:=\{\xi_n(x)\}_{n\ge 0,x\in {\mathbf ...

Robust estimation and inference for heavy tailed GARCH [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We develop two new estimators for a general class of stationary GARCH models with possibly heavy tailed asymmetrically distributed errors, covering processes with symmetric and asymmetric feedback like GARCH, Asymmetric GARCH, VGARCH and Quadratic GARCH.

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Solutions by Quadratures of Complex Bernoulli Differential Equations and Their Quantum Deformation

open access: yesAxioms, 2023
It is shown that the complex Bernoulli differential equations admitting the supplementary structure of a Lie–Hamilton system related to the book algebra b2 can always be solved by quadratures, providing an explicit solution of the equations. In addition,

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.

New Wave Solutions for Nonlinear Differential Equations using an Extended Bernoulli Equation as a New Expansion Method

open access: yesITM Web of Conferences, 2018
In this paper, we presented a new expansion method constructed by taking inspiration for the Kudryashov method. Bernoulli equation is chosen in the form of F′=BFn-AF and some expansions are made on the auxiliary Bernoulli equation which is used in this ...

Grip and Grasp: Lizard Claw Inspired Robotic Manipulators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Our study identifies the most effective lizard claw shape for use as an end effector in a bioinspired robotic manipulator. By examining key geometric features and combining them into comparative indices, the Crotaphytus collaris claw is found to be the best fit.
