The localization of spatially extended objects is thought to be based on the computation of a default reference position, such as the center of gravity. This position can serve as the goal point for a saccade, a locus for fixation, or the reference for perceptual localization. We compared perceptual and saccadic localization for non-convex shapes where the center of gravity (COG) was located ou...

Chance theory is a mathematical methodology for dealing with indeterminatephenomena including uncertainty and randomness.Consequently, uncertain random variable is developed to describe the phenomena which involveuncertainty and randomness.Thus, uncertain random variable is a fundamental concept in chance theory.This paper provides some practical quantities to describe uncertain random variable...

AUSTRACT: T o reduce the roinplex walking dynamics of a biped, we note a particular class of trajectories that is derived by application of gravity compensation to an ideal biped model. The trajectories have following properties: (a) the center of gravity of the body moves horizontally, and (b) the horizontal motion of the center of gravity can be expressed by a simple linear differential equat...

Gravity balancing is often used in industrial machines to decrease the required actuator efforts during motion. In the literature, a number of methods have been proposed for gravity balancing that include counterweights, springs, and auxiliary parallelograms that determine the center of mass. This paper describes the underlying theory of gravity balanced spatial robotic manipulators through a h...

in order to quantify of schooling behavioral responses of rosy barb (puntius barbus) subjected to acute decreasing temperature stress monitored by computer- vision system. four aquaria as duplicate with a density of 30 fish per unit were used for rearing of fish in normal and stress conditions. some geometric schooling parameters such as average location of center gravity school and distance of...
