Coordination of a human arm and a manipulator to share a load is a new problem. In this
paper, we propose a variable compliance control as a coordination mechanism for the arm …

According to many specialists, system neurobiology is presently not undergoing the most
rapid period of its growth, and some neurobiologists determine its state as being critical. This …

In this study we have tried to elaborate necessary theoretical approaches for the adequate
analysis of the central motor commands to a mammalian muscle in the equilibrium states …

The experiments presented here and performed in anaesthetized cats aimed at studying the
dynamics of interactions between antagonist muscle groups. The tendons of triceps surae …

During muscle lengthening in a movement cycle the firing rate of muscle spindles is higher
than during shortening. This phenomenon, known as hysteresis, has implications for …

The muscle spindle reactions evoked by the servo-controlled changes in the muscle length
or external load were studied on the de-efferented muscles in experiments on cats under …

The main purpose was to analyze quantitatively the the average surface EMGs of the
muscles that function around the elbow and shoulder joints of both arms in bimanual …

This study examines some of the non-linear effects of signal transduction in the human
motor system, with particular emphasis on muscle hysteresis. The movement tests were …

Many space robotic systems would be required to operate in uncertain or even unknown
environments. The problem of identifying such environment for compliance control is …

Many robotic systems would, in the future, be required to operate in environments that are
highly unstructured (with varying dynamical properties) and active (possessing means of self …
