Numerical Continuation on a Graphical Processing Unit for Kinematic Synthesis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an implementation of a homotopy path tracking algorithm for polynomial numerical continuation on a graphical processing unit (GPU). The goal of this algorithm is to track homotopy curves from known roots ...
A Multi-Oar Robotic Marine Surface Vehicle With Spherical Four-Bar Drive Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article presents a robotic marine surface vehicle (MSV) driven by two sets of three oars, one set on each side of the vehicle. Each oar is mounted on a spherical four-bar drive mechanism that guides the oar blade ...
Kinematic Design and Evaluation of a Six-Bar Knee-Ankle-Foot Orthosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a new two-step design procedure and preliminary kinematic evaluation of a novel, passive, six-bar knee-ankle-foot orthosis (KAFO). The kinematic design and preliminary kinematic gait analysis of the ...
