In the context of industrial engineering, the predetermined time systems (PTS) play an important role in workplaces because inefficiencies are found in assembly processes that require manual manipulations. In this study, an approach is proposed with the aim to analyze time and motions in a manual process using a capture motion system embedded to a virtual environment. Capture motion system trac...

modeling and wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. a six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as stewart robots. due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and applied...

Proofs of some propositions mentioned in the lecture may be found in Mukherji (2005).

How do people represent object meaning? It is now uncontentious that thinking about manipulable objects (e.g., pencils) activates brain regions underlying action. But is this activation part of the meaning of these objects, or is it merely incidental? The research we report here shows that when the hands are engaged in a task involving motions that are incompatible with those used to interact w...

| We describe a global motion planner for manipulating 3D objects by a dextrous multi-ngered robotic hand. We focus on the so-called re-connguration problem: nd a feasible quasi-static trajectory (motions and contact forces) that moves a hand-object system from an initial grasp to a nal desired connguration of the object. The planner is designed as a two-level process combining a graph search o...

Motion Estimation is a core part of modern video coding standards, which highly improves the compression efficiency. On the other hand, motion information takes considerable portion of compressed bit stream, especially in low bit rate situation. In this paper, an efficient motion vector prediction algorithm is proposed to minimize the bits used for coding the motion information. Several spatial...

objectives: the objective was to determine the results of early active controlled motion in the patients rehabilitated by our new protocol. methods: 91 fingers in 64 patients with flexor tendon repair in all zones were enrolled in a single group (quasi-experimental) clinical trial. 58 fingers in 43 patients were assessed at least three months postoperatively. outcomes were defined using the ‘wh...
