in this research, first, kinematic and dynamic equations of a 4-dof 3-link robotic finger are derived using denavit-hartenberg convention and lagrange’s formulation. to model the muscles, several springs and dampers are placed between the finger links. then, two advanced controllers, namely adaptive-robust and adaptive-neural, which can control the robotic finger in presence of parametric uncer...

generally an important part of changes in architectural constructions are represented by convertible structures. these kinds of structures are composed typically of hard or soft materials or combination of both, which avoid independent structural deformations and need additional elements such as hinges, rollers or other similar components. development of new construction materials like fiber-re...

Creating new concepts from data is a hard problem in the development of cognitive architectures, but one that must be solved for the BICA community to declare success. Two concept generation algorithms are presented here that are appropriate to different levels of concept abstraction: statespace partitioning with decision trees and context-based similarity.
