The increasing use of robots operating close to people has made human-robot collisions more likely. In this paper, strategies intended to reduce the impact force to a safe level, without sacrificing the robot’s performance, ...

According to statistics coronary heart disease is one of the most common causes of death in the world. Heart failure patients with these diseases are the most common one. External assisted Pumps help ventricular thrust can ...

The development of a humanoid robot is a very prevalent area of research today. Legged robots have many advantages over wheeled robots on rough or uneven terrains, and are more suitable for an everyday household setting, ...

The discrete Fourier transform in Cartesian coordinates has proved to be invaluable in many disciplines. However, less theory has been developed for functions that are best described in polar coordinates. In this paper, a ...

This paper presents the mechanical design and mathematical modeling for the first joint of a five degrees of freedom collaborative manipulator. The robot is actuated using Magneto-Rheological (MR) clutches in order to ...

The current paper investigates two control methods for stabilizing a two-wheel inverted pendulum (TWIP) robot. It is well-known that the controller in the mobile robot plays a critical role in self-balancing and stabilizing. ...

A typical and useful way to derive the dynamics equation of the tethered systems is by means of the Lagrange’s equations and various dynamic models of different tethered missions are established by the Lagrangian formulation. ...

This paper presents mathematical modeling for thrust force and moments generated by a propeller. In particular, the effects of freestream on propeller’s performance are investigated. We introduce some of the applications ...

The formulation, tuning and performance of a signal prediction algorithm as applied to the determination of a Go-NoGo state are discussed. Simulations were used to tune and assess the performance of the signal prediction ...

This paper presents an online tuning rule-based adaptive control algorithm to control DC motor speed. For this, a method of recursive least squares with forgetting was proposed to approximate the relation between single ...
