Optimal Kinematic Control of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle [PDF]
This note investigates the motion control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). The AUV is modeled as a nonholonomic system as any lateral motion of a conventional, slender AUV is quickly damped out. The problem is formulated as an optimal kinematic control problem on the Euclidean Group of Motions SE(3) , where the cost function to be minimized ...

On the use of redundancy in robot kinematic control
Redundancy offers a potential over nonredundancy in robot design and control in terms of greater motion/force manipulability. The solution to the kinematic control problem is crucial for an effective use of redundancy. The redundant degrees-of-freedom's can be used to meet additional motion/force constraints, such as dexterity, task compatibility ...

Kinematic coupling between the foot and lower limb during gait [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Abnormal kinematic coupling between the foot and lower limb has been associated with chronic overuse injuries of the lower extremity during running. However, the normal coupling relationship between the two segments remains unclear. The

A finger mechanism for adaptive end effectors [PDF]
This paper presents design and analysis of a rigid link finger, which may be suitable for a number of adaptive end effectors. The design has evolved from an industrial need for a tele-operated system to be used in nuclear environments.

Kinematics and control of frog hindlimb movements [PDF]
1. The determinants of the motion path of the hindlimb were explored in both intact and spinal frogs. In the spinal preparations the kinematic properties of withdrawal and crossed-extension reflexes were studied. In the intact frog the kinematics of withdrawal and swimming movements were examined.
