Parasites have evolved different strategies to increase their transmission from one host to another. The Adaptive Host Manipulation hypothesis states that parasites induce modifications of host phenotypes that could maximise ...

This paper presents the generation of optimal trajectories by genetic algorithms (GA) for a planar robotic manipulator. The implemented GA considers a multi-objective function that minimizes the end-effector positioning ...

An exponentially nonlinear reduced-order observer for robot manipulators is developed. Velocity estimation of N-link manipulators is performed by integrating only N differential equations. Consequently, computational effort ...

Abstract: A mobile manipulator is a robotic arm mounted on a mobile robot; a particular example is a manipulator arm on a mobile robot with differential traction. Mobile manipulators have many advantages over stationary ...
