Robots are machines that have interested the general population throughout history. In
general, they are machines or devices that operate automatically or by remote control …

Sufficiently low compliance is required for robot end-effectors to perform various tasks with
high static and dynamic accuracy. The joint compliance and link compliance of robots are …

The center of resistance is a concept in theoretical orthodontics used to describe tooth
movement under loads. It is commonly used to qualitatively predict tooth movement without …

It is possible to realize the desired compliance characteristics of a robot in a form of a
passive compliance device, which demands the synthesis technique of a stiffness matrix by …

This thesis is about control and balance stability of legged locomotion. It also presents a
combination of tools that makes it easier to design controllers for large and complicated …

A haptic device is used to transmit impedance to a human user to mimic the impedance of a
virtual or real environment. Existing haptic devices use serial or parallel robots to deliver …

This paper looks at the modeling of elastically coupled rigidbodies. The elastic deformation
is assumed to be localized, which is aparticularly valid assumption for flexural joints. A …

Presents a method for determining a minimal realization of an arbitrary spatial stiffness
matrix K through the use of a mechanism constructed of a parallel connection of springs. The …

Researchers have used full-body models to investigate how the dynamics of the golf swing,
including those related to wrist function, may be affected by the rotation of individual …

This work considers the problem of modeling visco-elastically coupled rigid bodies, with
application to modeling and computer simulation of spatial, flexural mechanisms. Two …
