Optimization of a Cost-Constrained, Hydraulic Knee Prosthesis Using a Kinematic Analysis Model

open access: yesBiomechanics, 2023
Approximately 82% of amputees prefer microprocessor knees (MPKs) to the passive alternatives. However, the cost of these devices makes them inaccessible for many patients.

Robotic ankle control can provide appropriate assistance throughout the gait cycle in healthy adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurorobotics, 2022
Ankle foot orthoses are mainly applied to provide stability in the stance phase and adequate foot clearance in the swing phase; however, they do not sufficiently assist during the entire gait cycle.

CLASH-VLT: Testing the Nature of Gravity with Galaxy Cluster Mass Profiles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We use high-precision kinematic and lensing measurements of the total mass profile of the dynamically relaxed galaxy cluster MACS J1206.2-0847 at $z=0.44$ to estimate the value of the ratio $\eta=\Psi/\Phi$ between the two scalar potentials in the linear

Kinematic-Vision Residuals Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes2007 IEEE Aerospace Conference, 2007
This paper describes the design, validation, and integration of a tool to locate a portion of the instrument deployment device (IDD) on the Mars exploration rover (MER) vehicles on Mars in imagery from the front hazard avoidance cameras, and to track the differences between the predicted and detected position of the manipulator over time.

Analysis of Rotation Curves in the Framework of the Gravitational Suppression Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We present an analysis of suitable rotation curves (RCs) of eight galaxies, aimed at checking the consistency and universality of the gravitational suppression (GraS) hypothesis, a phenomenological model for a new interaction between dark matter and ...

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.

Inverse kinematic analysis and trajectory planning of a modular upper limb rehabilitation exoskeleton

open access: yesTechnology and Health Care, 2019
BACKGROUND: Stroke is the most prevalent neurological disease and often leads to disability. Stroke can affect a person’s daily life, for example, its typical feature is the decline in the patient’s upper limbs.
