Optimized Joint Trajectory Model with Customized Genetic Algorithm for Biped Robot Walk

Biped robot locomotion is one of the active research areas in robotics. In this area, real-time stable walking with proper speed is one of the main challenges that needs to be overcome. Central Pattern Generators (CPG) as one of the biological gait generation models, can produce complex nonlinear oscillation as a pattern for walking. In this paper, we propose a model for a biped robot joint tra...

Technology and Poultry Welfare

Consideration of animal welfare is essential to address the consumers' demands and for the long term sustainability of commercial poultry. However, assessing welfare in large poultry flocks, to be able to detect potential welfare risks and to control or minimize its impact is difficult. Current developments in technology and mathematical modelling open new possibilities for real-time automatic ...

Prototype design of medical round supporting robot "Terapio"

Medical Robotics

Today, robotic devices are used to replace missing limbs, perform delicate surgical procedures, deliver neurorehabilitation therapy to stroke patients, teach children with learning disabilities, and perform a growing number of other health related tasks. According to the Robot Institute of America, a robot is ‘‘a reprogrammable, multifunctional manipulator designed to move material, parts, tool...

Medical Robotics

The evolution of robotics in surgery is a new and exciting development. Surgical robotics brings together many disparate areas of research such as: design, development and modeling of robotic systems, nonlinear control, safety in medical robotics, ergonomics in minimally invasive procedures, and last but not the least, surgery. Over the past decade there have been significant advances in basic ...
