Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

MEASURING INTER-INDUSTRY TRADE: AN AXIOMATIC APPROACH

MEASURING INTER-INDUSTRY TRADE: AN AXIOMATIC APPROACH
This paper characterizes a general index of inter-industry trade using a set of intuitively reasonable axioms. The general index contains the Balassa and the Grubel-Lloyd indices as particular cases. The axiomatic approach developed in the paper gives us an insight of the indices in an elaborate way through the axioms employed in the characterization ...

The Inter-Industry Wage Structure of U.S. Multinationals [PDF]

Little is known about wage determination by multinationals, despite the much-discussed role of globalisation upon wage dispersion. Here we examine industry- and host-country-specific 1998 data on compensation of foreign affiliates of U.S.
