as a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. an experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. the kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...

In this paper, kinematic characteristics of writing are compared in 5 patient with writer’s cramp who performed a set of standardized writing task. The kinematic characteristics thumb and forefinger force before and during cramp. The effect of writing on different inclined supporting surfaces is also investigated. Our results indicate that inclined surfaces aspects of writing discomfort in writ...

Purpose: Little information is available on joint kinematic adaptations during walking on cross-slope surfaces (i.e. a surface incline perpendicular to the direction of locomotion). This study aimed to evaluate the effects of cross-slope surfaces on three-dimensional (3D) kinematics of hip, knee, and ankle joints during stance phase of walking.  Methods: This is a quasi-experimental study...

dehbid mylonite nappes associated with the tutak gneiss dome as the zagros hinterland involved-basement window in the zagros orogenic belt has significant components of dextral sense of shear along the mylonite nappes and are related to the high proportion of simple shear relative to pure shear deformation. kinematic vorticity analysis (wk) was made in order to determination of relative amounts...

Background: Deficits in upper body movement have received little attention during gait in cerebral palsy (CP) children with crouch gait pattern (CGP).Objective: Purpose of this research is to describe the correlation of trunk movement with the excessive knee flexion and ankle kinematic in CP children with CGP.Methods: Gait analysis data from 57 limbs of diplegic CP children with CGP and 26 limb...

We present a novel control design procedure for the passivity-based stabilization of closed sets which leverages recent theoretical advances. The procedure involves using part of the control freedom in order to enforce a detectability property, while the remaining part is used for passivity-based stabilization. The procedure is illustrated in four case studies of path following coordination for...

In view of their physics goals, future neutrino factories from muon decay aim at an overall flux precision of O(1%) or better. We analytically study the QED radiative corrections to the neutrino differential distributions from muon decay. Kinematic uncertainties due to the divergence of the muon beam are considered as well. The resulting corrections to the neutrino flux turn out to be of order ...

We identify and resum corrections associated with the kinematic recoil of the hard scattering against soft-gluon emission in single-particle inclusive cross sections. The method avoids double counting and conserves the flow of partonic energy. It reproduces threshold resummation for high-pT single-particle cross sections, when recoil is neglected, and QT resummation at low QT , when higher-orde...
