Abstract: The integration of robots into environments shared by humans has been enhanced through the use of redundant robots capable of executing primary tasks and secondary objectives such as obstacle avoidance and null-space ...

Abstract: Trackability is a known system property and has been studied extensively in the literature both from a theoretical standpoint and from the standpoint of constructing inversionbased tracking controllers. There is also a ...

Abstract: This work brings forward several interesting facts about system properties of linear time-invariant discrete-time systems like output controllability, state controllability and state observability, trackability, and input ...

Abstract: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by increased response times leading to a variety of biomechanical symptoms, such as tremors, stooping, and gait instability. Although the deterioration ...

Abstract: Computational rod models have emerged as efficient tools to simulate the bending and twisting deformations of a variety of slender structures in engineering and biological applications. The dynamics of such deformations, ...
