Abstract: This letter outlines the modelling, design, and experimental validation of a novel power-efficient actuator for an active ankle-foot orthosis (AAFO). The actuator is based on a new principle ...
Abstract: This article presents a simple yet effective method for computing geodesic distances on triangle meshes. Unlike the popular window propagation methods that partition mesh edges into ...
Abstract: The Refined Instrumental Variable method for discrete-time systems (RIV) and its variant for continuous-time systems (RIVC) are popular methods for the identification of linear systems in ...
Abstract: Conventional real-valued 1-D chaotic models are constrained by three fundamental limitations: Restricted chaotic regimes, susceptibility to dynamic degradation in finite-precision ...
Abstract: Variable Stiffness Actuators (VSA) have been proposed as an alternative actuation system for manipulators that are utilized for safe physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI). However, in the ...
Abstract: Safety holds the prime importance in direct physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) tasks. Robots should have the ability to handle unexpected collisions in unstructured environments.
Abstract: Previous work has demonstrated that the image variations of many objects (human faces in particular) under variable lighting can be effectively modeled by low dimensional linear spaces.
