Kinematic Analysis of an Omnidirectional Tracked Vehicle

open access: yesApplied Sciences
This article addresses the problem of controlling an omni-tracked vehicle equipped with parallel, fully overlapping omnidirectional tracks. A kinematic model is presented that enables the determination of the vehicle body’s displacement relative to the ...

Kinematic path analysis of kinematically indeterminate systems

open access: yesKSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2016
Kinematically indeterminate systems are geometrically unstable. Considering that there is only tiny elastic deformation in the process of the mechanism motion, the method to simulate kinematic paths of kinematically indeterminate systems without considering elastic deformation is studied in this paper.

Analysis of Kinematic Crosstalk in a Four-Legged Parallel Kinematic Machine

open access: yesMachines
Human-in-the-loop (HIL) immersive simulators integrate a human operator into the simulation loop, enabling real-time interaction with virtual environments. To expose users to controlled acceleration fields, they employ parallel kinematic machines (PKMs),

Using the Flexor Reflex in a Chronic Stroke Patient for Gait Improvement: A Case Report

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
The flexor reflex or withdrawal reflex can be elicited by electrical stimulation of the sole of the foot, which serves as a reflex to protect the stimulated limb against tissue damage and consists of flexion movements in the hip, knee, and ankle joint ...

Sex-Related Differences in Hip Kinematics During General Movements in Early Infancy: A Biomechanical Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesChildren
The General Movements Assessment provides early insight into motor development’s range of motion; however, its relationship with joint kinematics, such as hip abduction range of motion, remains underexplored.

Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting
