Inertial displacement sensors employing currently available high performance micromachined accelerometers and gyroscopes measure position and attitude with sub-micron accuracy for ...
— Repetitive manual handling of heavy loads is common in assembly and is a frequent cause of lower back disorders. This can have a significant impact on the quality of life and ...
— In this paper the problem of adaptively controlling a hydraulic system with uncertainties is considered. An adaptive controller is derived to control actuator force with unknow...

— In this paper we formulate the “generalized inverse kinematics problem” for a spatial serial chain, where the goal is to determine values for structural parameters as well ...
— This paper studies the balance of a humanoid robot carrying a heavy object. Without knowing the mass and the position of the center of gravity of the object, the humanoid robot...
