Kinematic design of crab-like legged vehicles [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, the kinematic workspace characteristics of a crab-like legged vehicle are investigated using a 2-D model. The alternative kinematic configurations and their corresponding workspace constraints are discussed, and the vehicle configuration ...

A New Composite Control Strategy for an Astronaut Virtual Operation Training System Based on Cable-Driven Technology

open access: yesActuators, 2023
In recent years, virtual microgravity training technology for astronauts based on cable-driven designs has emerged, and it solves the following problems: high costs, short training times, and low safety of existing equipment.

Evaluating a workspace's usefulness for image retrieval [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Image searching is a creative process. We have proposed a novel image retrieval system that supports creative search sessions by allowing the user to organise their search results on a workspace. The workspace’s usefulness is evaluated in a task-oriented

Full Forward Kinematics of Lower-Mobility Planar Parallel Continuum Robots

open access: yesMathematics
In rigid lower-mobility parallel manipulators the motion of the end-effector is partially constrained due to a combination of passive kinematic pairs and rigid components.

Effects of indoor plants on office workers: a field study in multiple Dutch organizations

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2023
In the period 2019–2020, the effect of plants in the workspace on (a) the physical indoor climate, (b) the perception of the workspace by office workers, and (c) their health, well-being and functioning was investigated in nine organizations.

A Framework for Interactive Teaching of Virtual Borders to Mobile Robots

open access: yes, 2017
The increasing number of robots in home environments leads to an emerging coexistence between humans and robots. Robots undertake common tasks and support the residents in their everyday life. People appreciate the presence of robots in their environment

A study of the singularity locus in the joint space of planar parallel manipulators: special focus on cusps and nodes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Cusps and nodes on plane sections of the singularity locus in the joint space of parallel manipulators play an important role in nonsingular assembly-mode changing motions.

3D environment mapping using the Kinect V2 and path planning based on RRT algorithms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper describes a 3D path planning system that is able to provide a solution trajectory for the automatic control of a robot. The proposed system uses a point cloud obtained from the robot workspace, with a Kinect V2 sensor to identify the interest ...

Kinematics, workspace and singularity analysis of a multi-mode parallel robot

open access: yes, 2017
A family of reconfigurable parallel robots can change motion modes by passing through constraint singularities by locking and releasing some passive joints of the robot.

The Doctor's Tale: Enacted Workspace and the General Practitioner

open access: yesForum: Qualitative Social Research, 2008
The environments and landscapes in which we live and work say much about who we are and how we act, yet there is little in the literature that considers Primary Care professionals' reflections on workspace and its impact on practice.
