This paper presents a Divide and Conquer strategy to estimate the kinematic parameters of parallel symmetrical mechanisms. The Divide and Conquer kinematic identification is designed and performed independently for each ...

Determining kinematics of hindlimbs of theropod dinosaurs has been a challenge. Since cursorial birds are phylogenetically closest to theropod dinosaurs they are commonly used as a kinematic model of theropod dinosaur ...

Abstract : Humanoid robots (HRs) research and development have been increasing in the world due to motion versatility of such robots and also due to the high degree of spatial and environmental adaptability provided by th ...

Robot Calibration is a term applied to the procedures used in determining actual values that describe the geometric dimensions and mechanical characteristics of a robot or multibody structure. A robot calibration system ...

We present a generalization of teleparallel gravity that is consistent with local spacetime kinematics regulated by the de Sitter group SO(1, 4). The mathematical structure of teleparallel gravity is shown to be given by ...

Numerous analog models and some natural examples display smoothly curving backlimb fold hinges over sharp, angular bends in the underlying thrust surface. We present a new kinematic model that can reproduce this geometry ...
