Compliance Analysis of an Under-Actuated Robotic Finger [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Under-actuated robotic hands have multiple applications fields, like prosthetics and service robots. They are interesting for their versatility, simple control and minimal component usage.

On the Structure of Lie Pseudo-Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We compare and contrast two approaches to the structure theory for Lie pseudo-groups, the first due to Cartan, and the second due to the first two authors.

Sasakian metric as a Ricci soliton and related results [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We prove the following results: (i) A Sasakian metric as a non-trivial Ricci soliton is null $\eta$-Einstein, and expanding. Such a characterization permits to identify the Sasakian metric on the Heisenberg group $\mathcal{H}^{2n+1}$ as an explicit ...

A spatial impedance controller for robotic manipulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Mechanical impedance is the dynamic generalization of stiffness, and determines interactive behavior by definition. Although the argument for explicitly controlling impedance is strong, impedance control has had only a modest impact on robotic ...

Connections Between Symmetries and Conservation Laws [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper presents recent work on connections between symmetries and conservation laws. After reviewing Noether's theorem and its limitations, we present the Direct Construction Method to show how to find directly the conservation laws for any given ...

Variational Theory of Balance Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this work we apply the Poincare-Cartan formalism of the Classical Field Theory to study the systems of balance equations (balance systems). We introduce the partial k-jet bundles of the configurational bundle and study their basic properties: partial ...

Point and Lie Bäcklund symmetries of certain partial differential equations : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA in Mathematics at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
The aim of this thesis is to: (1) Explore the use of differential forms in obtaining point and contact symmetries of particular partial differential equations (PDEs) and hence their corresponding similarity solutions. [1] and [4].

Validity of a Wearable Digital Insole for Assessing Gait ON and OFF in Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Gait impairment is a distinctive symptom of Parkinson's disease that negatively impact mobility. We assessed the validity of wearable digital insoles against a validated reference gait analysis system for measuring select gait characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods A comparative analysis between digital insoles
