In this paper, a new inequality-based criterion is proposed and investigated for obstacle
avoidance of redundant robot manipulators at the joint-acceleration level. By incorporating …

Flapping-wing robots (FWRs) have great potential in comprehensively optimizing the
flexibility, cruising speed, load capacity, and the robot mass. Recently, researchers have …

We discuss food oral processing research over the last two decades and consider strategies
for quantifying the food breakdown model, originally conceptualized by Hutchings and …

Assessing the food texture via mastication is important for advancing knowledge of food
properties so as to develop favorable and healthy food products. Oral processing of food by …

A jaw movement robot that can simulate jaw movement and reaction forces in
temporomandibular joints (TMJs) of a man will find many applications in dentistry, food …

Neuromotor control experiments have shown that humans are able to adapt limb impedance
to stably and properly interact with various environmental forces with dexterous skills …

More and more studies have being done on the deformation process of food and the
formation of food bolus during chewing. However, it is hard to observe the food oral …

Medicated chewing gum has been recognised as a new advanced drug delivery method,
with a promising future. Its potential has not yet been fully exploited because currently there …

This paper presents a highly maneuverable flapping‐wing flying robot (FWFR) capable of
achieving high speeds and large roll angles. The airfoil of the wing is designed based on lift …

Active compliance control is one of the necessary prerequisites for the fine manipulation of
hydraulic heavy duty manipulators (HHDMs). The establishment of a rigid-flexible coupling …
