On a Moving Base Robotic Manipulator Dynamics

There are many occasions where the base of a robotic manipulator is attached to a moving platform, such as on a moving ship, terrain or space shuttle. In this paper a dynamic model of a robotic manipulator mounted on a moving base is derived using both Newton-Euler and Lagrange-Euler methods. The presented models are simulated for a Mitsubishi PA10-6CE robotic manipulator characteristics mounte...

Moving Mesh Methods Based on Moving

Several versions of a moving mesh method are developed based on a mesh spatial smoothing technique and on the moving mesh PDEs derived in a previous paper. These versions are quite simple and easy to program. They are applied to three benchmark one-dimensional problems which show diierent solution behaviour. The numerical results clearly demonstrate that the present methods are capable of accur...

On Moving On On Ontologies

This paper discusses the principles that should govern the construction of two components of a system for natural language generation (NLG): (1) the ontology or, rather, as the paper argues, the 'ontological' aspects of a belief system -and (2) the semantic representation of noun senses. It is an interesting fact that many ontologies bear a striking resemblance to a system network, as used in s...

Moving on from euthanasia.

It is time to move on from the euthanasia debate. Let’s also move on from “physician-assisted suicide.” Rationally, if a society legalizes the killing of sick people, it should use the group that is most efficient, legal, trained and, at times, paid to kill: the Armed Forces. Want to die? Fill out a chit, and the sniper takes you out from 100 yards. No pain; indeed, you will never even hear the...
