A Personalized Gait Parameter Prediction-Based Speed-Adaptive Control Method for Hybrid Active-Passive Intelligent Prosthetic Knee

To address the limitations of current prosthetic knees that lack personalized adaptability to users’ gait characteristics and walking speeds, this study proposes a personalized gait parameter prediction–based speed-adaptive control method f...

Characterization of Wing Kinematics by Decoupling Joint Movement in the Pigeon

Birds have remarkable flight capabilities due to their adaptive wing morphology. However, studying live birds is time-consuming and laborious, and obtaining information about the complete wingbeat cycle is difficult. To address this issue a...

Soft Robotics: New Perspectives for Robot Bodyware and Control

The remarkable advances of robotics in the last 50 years, which represent an incredible wealth of knowledge, are based on the fundamental assumption that robots are chains of rigid links. The use of soft materials in robotics, driven not on...

Two Acceleration-Layer Configuration Amendment Schemes of Redundant Robot Arms Based on Zhang Neurodynamics Equivalency

Two innovative acceleration-layer configuration amendment (CA) schemes are proposed to achieve the CA of constrained redundant robot arms. Specifically, by applying the Zhang neurodynamics equivalency (ZNE) method, an acceleration-layer CA ...
