This paper studies the quasi-static motion of large legged robots that have many degrees of freedom. While gaited walking may suffice on easy ground, rough and steep terrain requires unique sequences of footsteps and postural adjustments specifically adapted to the terrain’s local geometric and physical properties. This paper presents a planner that computes these motions by combining graph sea...

A Real-Time Hand Gesture Detection and Recognition Using Bag-of-Features of The proposed method is a user-friendly method that easily authors (creates and controls) gesture motion according to the number of fingers. The effectiveness of the proposed motion authoring method was verified based on motion authoring simulation of an industrial robot. With rapid developments in today's robot technolo...

Injury to finger flexor tendons or extensor digitorum tendons necessitates operations and rehabilitation to regain normal function. In this study, a system was designed to simulate the rehabilitation motions for injured finger flexor and extensor digitorum tendons, such as making a fist and extending the fingers. The dynamic system (DS) is based on a 16-segment hand model and was designed using...

before. Maurice was first referred to the Clinic from the Nervous Dispensary of the University Hospital because of suspected mental deficiency. He could not get along in school and his mother was compelled to take him out entirely, because of peculiar motions he constantly made with his hands before his face. Moreover, he was very queer and hyper-suggestible. If he were walking along the street...

Qualitative and quantitative changes characterize locomotion and rhythmic interlimb coordination at different speeds. Legs and hands do not move more or less quickly; they also adopt different relative coordination patterns. In the present article, the authors asked whether similar transitions occur for unimanual hand movements when speed is slowed below the preferred speed. Participants moved ...

In this paper, a moving object detection method in video sequences is described. In the 3rst step, the camera motion is eliminated using motion compensation. An adaptive subband decomposition structure is then used to analyze the motion compensated image. In the “low–high” and “high–low” subimages moving objects appear as outliers and they are detected using a statistical detection test based o...

Objectives: This study was designed to determine the effects of Volar-Dorsal Wrist/Hand Immobilization Splint on upper extremity motor components and function of stroke patients. Methods: fourteen patients were participated in this study. The patients were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and were given the splint after a primary evaluation. They were re-evaluated afte...

In this paper, we propose a method for detection of small moving objects in video. We first eliminate the camera motion using motion compensation. We then use an adaptive predictor to estimate the current pixel using neighboring pixels in the motion compensated image and, in this way, obtain a residual error image. Small moving objects appear as outliers in the residual image and are detected u...

Replication of human hand motions on anthropomorphic robotic hands is typically treated in literature as the combination two sub-problems: measurement motions, and mapping such hand. In this letter we focus second one. Different approaches have been proposed to deal with problem, but none them preserves both master finger shapes fingertip positions hand, i.e. ensuring predictability natural mot...

The gesture recognition process, in general, may be divided into two stages: motion sensing, which extracts useful data from hand motion; and the classification process, which classifies the motion sensing data as gestures. We have developed the visionbased Hand Motion Understanding (HMU) system that recognises static and dynamic Australian Sign Language (Auslan) signs by extracting and classif...
