The mechanisms and mechanical energy of human gait initiation from the lower-limb joint level perspective

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
This study aims to improve our understanding of gait initiation mechanisms and the lower-limb joint mechanical energy contributions. Healthy subjects were instructed to initiate gait on an instrumented track to reach three self-selected target velocities:

Working and Assembly Modes of the Agile Eye [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper deals with the in-depth kinematic analysis of a special spherical parallel wrist, called the Agile Eye. The Agile Eye is a three-legged spherical parallel robot with revolute joints in which all pairs of adjacent joint axes are orthogonal. Its

On Centroidal Dynamics and Integrability of Average Angular Velocity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In the literature on robotics and multibody dynamics, the concept of average angular velocity has received considerable attention in recent years. We address the question of whether the average angular velocity defines an orientation framethat depends ...

Dynamic Active Constraints for Surgical Robots using Vector Field Inequalities

open access: yes, 2019
Robotic assistance allows surgeons to perform dexterous and tremor-free procedures, but robotic aid is still underrepresented in procedures with constrained workspaces, such as deep brain neurosurgery and endonasal surgery.

Using humanoid robots to study human behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
Our understanding of human behavior advances as our humanoid robotics work progresses-and vice versa. This team's work focuses on trajectory formation and planning, learning from demonstration, oculomotor control and interactive behaviors.
