Design, modeling, manufacturing and experimental analysis of a six degree freedom robot, suitable for industrial applications, has been described in this paper. The robot was designed on the assumption that, each joint has an independent DC motor actuator, with gear reduction and measuring sensor for angular joint position. Mechanical design of the robot was done using Mechanical Desktop and ma...

Background:Despite some successful dynamic simulation of self-impact double pendulum (SIDP)-as humanoid robots legs or arms- studies, there is limited information available about the control of one leg locomotion.Objective :The main goal of this research is to improve the reliability of the mammalians leg locomotion and building more elaborated models close to the natural movements, by modelin...

In tidally affected coastal catchments detention pond should be provided to store flood surface water. A comparison between the full simulation approach based on the joint probability method and time series rainfall modeling via the annual maximum of pond level was undertaken to investigate the assumptions of independence between variables that are necessary in the joint probability method. The...

fracture mapping of late permian-early triassic flat-lying sedimentary rocks in the sydney basin,new south wales, australia, shows that joints developed originally in extension were faulted in subsequentevents. joints with a regional distribution fall into two (early and late) formed groups. group i joints propagatedhorizontally and never interfered with each other. these joints were subsequent...

BACKGROUND Joint modeling of longitudinal and survival data has been increasingly considered in clinical trials, notably in cancer and AIDS. In critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), such models also appear to be of interest in the investigation of the effect of treatment on severity scores due to the likely association between the longitudinal score and the dropout p...

The hip joint is one of the largest weight bearing structures in the human body. While its efficient structure may lend to a lifetime of mobility, abnormal, repetitive loading of the hip is thought to result in osteoarthritis (OA). The etiology of hip OA is unknown however, due to the high loads this joint supports, mechanics have been implicated as the primary factor. Quantifying the relevant ...

Inverse Kinematic (IK) model of Dexter ER2 Robotic Arm and its implementation using wireless embedded system for object sorting application was presented in this work. Dexter ER2 Robotic Arm is a vertical articulated serial robot arm built by using DC servo motors. IK modeling of robot arm was carried out in PC by using geometric method which determines the joint angles of the robot arm for req...

Speaker intent detection and semantic slot filling are two critical tasks in spoken language understanding (SLU) for dialogue systems. In this paper, we describe a recurrent neural network (RNN) model that jointly performs intent detection, slot filling, and language modeling. The neural network model keeps updating the intent prediction as word in the transcribed utterance arrives and uses it ...

In this paper, we present a method for modeling joint information when generating n-best lists. We apply the method to a novel task of characterizing the similarity of a group of terms where only a small set of many possible semantic properties may be displayed to a user. We demonstrate that considering the results jointly, by accounting for the information overlap between results, generates be...

In studying a biological process, investigators may repeatedly measure features of the process (longitudinal data) and also measure the time to an important state change (survival data). For example, a clinical trial may measure symptom severity and time until death. The most popular class of joint models for simultaneously analyzing longitudinal and survival data uses latent variables to link ...
