Abstract: Previous approaches to the problem of prescribing the motion of bipedal machines do not completely characterize the desired walking patterns in terms of coherent parameters. A well-structured ...

Abstract: A general approach based on discrete mapping techniques is presented to study stability of bipedal locomotion. The approach overcomes difficulties encountered by others on the treatment of ...

Abstract: A new method to solve the collision problems of slender bars with massive external surfaces is developed. The proposed solution accounts for the effect of impact induced vibrations and multiple ...

Abstract: This article deals with the collision of steel bars with external surfaces. The central issue of the article is the investigation of the fundamental concepts that are used to solve collision ...

Abstract: In this paper we consider the most basic multi-impact system, the so-called “Newton’s Cradle.” The task of developing an analytical method to predict the post impact velocities of the balls ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach to the implementation of sensory feedback in a robotic telemanipulation system. The system considered here consists of kinematically similar master-slave robotic ...

Abstract: This article deals with three-dimensional collisions of rigid, kinematic chains with an external surface while in contact with other surfaces. We concentrate on a special class of kinematic chain ...

Abstract: The problems associated with engineering tasks are often too large and complex for application of conventional software methods, but are suitable to application of expert system methods. Development ...
