Automatic Identification of Control Parameters in Stance Posture Control System.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE JAPAN SOCIETY OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERS Series C, 2000
This paper reports on a method of identifying some macro parameters in the control system of human dynamics. In particular we focused our attention on disturbance in the center of gravity in human stance posture control system as the research theme. In the first seep, we constructed a system to measure the human's sway of center of gravity.

From Rigid to Soft Robotic Approaches for Neuroendoscopy

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Robotic assistance has had minimal impact on deep intraventricular surgeries, where small‐scale, precision, and reduced invasiveness can contribute to improved patient outcomes. Emerging technologies in rigid, soft, and hybrid robotics are reviewed to identify the most promising mechanisms for deep brain navigation in addition to an attempt to identify

Comparison of the reticulospinal drive to lumbar erector spinae muscles in postural and voluntary tasks using the StartReact paradigm

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
IntroductionWhile lesion and neurophysiological animal studies point toward a notable involvement of subcortical pathways in the control of low back muscles, little attention has been dedicated to the subject in humans.

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Stability of Systems to Control Upright Postures in Stabilometry

Journal of Sports Medicine & Doping Studies, 2013
In upright postures, the body continuously moves in a unique and complex rhythm; the amplitude and frequency of this rhythm depend on various sensory and motor system functions [2]. The base supporting the body is an area surrounded by bilateral soles. To maintain a stable posture, it is necessary to control the spatial perpendicular line from the body’
