Kinematics of deformable media
We investigate the kinematics of deformations in two and three dimensional media by explicitly solving (analytically) the evolution equations (Raychaudhuri equations) for the expansion, shear and rotation associated with the deformations.

Kinematic analysis of the 3-RPR parallel manipulator [PDF]
The aim of this paper is the kinematic study of a 3-RPR planar parallel manipulator where the three fixed revolute joints are actuated. The direct and inverse kinematic problem as well as the singular configuration is characterized. On parallel singular configurations, the motion produce by the mobile platform can be compared to the Reuleaux straight ...

VLT/VIMOS Integral field kinematics of the Giant Low Surface Brightness galaxy ESO 323-G064 [PDF]
We studied the bulge and the disk kinematic of the giant Low Surface Brightness (LSB) galaxy ESO 323-G064 in order to investigate its dynamics and its Dark Matter (DM) content. We observed the galaxy with the integral field spectroscopy (VLT/VIMOS, in IFU configuration). Results for the gaseous kinematics (bulge and disk) and stellar kinematics (bulge)

Geometric Jacobians Derivation and Kinematic Singularity Analysis for Smokie Robot Manipulator & the Barrett WAM [PDF]
This paper discusses deriving geometric jacobians and identifying and analyzing the kinematic singularities for two 6 DOF arm robots. First we show the direct kinematics and D-H parameters derived for these two arms. The Geometric jacobian is computed for Barrett WAM and Smokie OUR. By analyzing the jacobian matrices we find the configurations at which

From nearby to distant galaxies: kinematical and dynamical studies [PDF]
Kinematical studies of low and high redshift galaxies enables to probe galaxy formation and evolution scenarios. Integral field spectroscopy is a powerful tool to study with accuracy nearby galaxies kinematics. Recent observations also gives a new 2D vision of high redshift galaxies kinematics.

Regularizing Dynamic Radiance Fields with Kinematic Fields [PDF]
This paper presents a novel approach for reconstructing dynamic radiance fields from monocular videos. We integrate kinematics with dynamic radiance fields, bridging the gap between the sparse nature of monocular videos and the real-world physics.

Observational Signatures of Circumbinary Discs II: Kinematic Signatures in Velocity Residuals [PDF]
Kinematic studies of protoplanetary discs are a valuable method for uncovering hidden companions. In the first paper of this series, we presented five morphological and kinematic criteria that aid in asserting the binary nature of a protoplanetary disc.

An Iterative Algorithm to Symbolically Derive Generalized n-Trailer Vehicle Kinematics [PDF]
Articulated multi-axle vehicles are interesting from a control-theoretic perspective due to their peculiar kinematic offtracking characteristics, instability modes, and singularities. Holonomic and nonholonomic constraints affecting the kinematic behavior is investigated in order to develop control-oriented kinematic models representative of these ...

Incorporating General Contact Surfaces in the Kinematics of Tendon-Driven Rolling-Contact Joint Mechanisms [PDF]
This paper presents the first kinematic modeling of tendon-driven rolling-contact joint mechanisms with general contact surfaces subject to external loads. We derived the kinematics as a set of recursive equations and developed efficient iterative algorithms to solve for both tendon force actuation and tendon displacement actuation.

IKDP: Inverse Kinematics through Diffusion Process [PDF]
It is a common problem in robotics to specify the position of each joint of the robot so that the endpoint reaches a certain target in space. This can be solved in two ways, forward kinematics method and inverse kinematics method. However, inverse kinematics cannot be solved by an algorithm. The common method is the Jacobian inverse technique, and some
