Interactive effects of joint angle, contraction state and method on estimates of achilles tendon moment arms [PDF]

, 2013
Copyright @ 2013 Human Kinetics, IncThe muscle-tendon moment arm is an important input parameter for musculoskeletal models. Moment arms change as a function of joint angle and contraction state and depend on the method being employed.

Slip model of the 17 November 2015 Mw = 6.5 Lefkada earthquake from the joint inversion of geodetic and seismic data

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
We inferred the rupture process of the 2015 Lefkada earthquake by combining teleseismic and near‐field strong motion data, together with static and dynamic GPS displacements. The joint inversion of all data sets revealed a relatively complex slip pattern

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

An adaptive multiscale algorithm for efficient extended waveform inversion

, 2017
Subsurface-offset extended full-waveform inversion (FWI) may converge to kinematically accurate velocity models without the low-frequency data accuracy required for standard data-domain FWI.

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...

Gait Analysis of Pak Biawak: A Necrobot Lizard Built using the Skeleton of an Asian Water Monitor (Varanus Salvator)

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Pak Biawak, a necrobot, embodies an unusual fusion of biology and robotics. Designed to repurpose natural structures after death, it challenges conventional boundaries between nature and engineering. Its movements are precise yet unsettling, raising questions about sustainability, ethics, and the untapped potential of biointegrated machines.

Efficient and Robust Standing Postures of Quadruped Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A calibrated static framework estimates load, optimizes torques, and adapts posture so quadruped robots stand efficiently and robustly under external payloads, achieving up to 50% lower torque demand. Inspired by the natural posture adjustments of animals under external loading, this article presents an optimization‐based framework for minimizing joint

Mutual Adaptation and Influence: Review of Latent Dynamics Models in Human–Robot Interaction

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robots are becoming better teammates by learning hidden patterns in how people act. This review covers how state‐of‐the‐art approaches leverage these patterns to help robots not only react but also anticipate and guide cooperation. Here, we synthesize a unifying framework for these approaches, classify and review existing works, and highlight key ...
