A Symbolic Approach to Qualitative Kinematics

نویسنده

چکیده

An important problem for mechanism design and analysis is reasoning about the relationship between object shapes and their kinematic function. Such reasoning is difficult because of the unstructured influence of the shapes’ metric dimensions. In this paper, we show how a qualitative kinematic analysis can be based solely on symbolic reasoning and evaluation of predicates on metric dimensions. This allows symbolic reasoning about kinematics without explicit numerical representations of object dimensions, and automatic generation of operators relating kinematic goals to shape modifications which may achieve them.

The Use of the Metric Diagram in Qualitative Kinematics

A promising approach to qualitative reasoning about mechanism kinematics is the theory of pace vocabu:aries . In this paper, we propose a new method of computing the place vocabulary representation . The computation is split into the combinatorial manipulation of the symbolic information, and the evaluation of predicates on the metric dimensions by an abstract device, the metric diagram . This ...

A Fuzzy Qualitative Framework for Indoor Rowing Kinematics Analysis

In this article an outline of a fuzzy qualitative framework for the indoor rowing kinematics analysis have been proposed. Main goal of introducing this fuzzy qualitative framework is to bridge the gap between high level of quantitative details obtained with various present – day sensory or video inputs and symbolic representation used by rowing experts. A Fuzzy qualification process of kinemati...

Using Symbolic Technology to Derive Inverse Kinematic Solutions for Actuator Control Development

In multibody mechanics, the motion analysis for a platform (the kinematics problem) can be classified into two cases: the forward kinematics and the inverse kinematics problems. For the forward kinematics problem, the trajectory of a point on a mechanism (for example, the end effector of a robot arm or the center of a platform support by a parallel link manipulator) is computed as a function of...

A New Approach to Detect Congestive Heart Failure Using Symbolic Dynamics Analysis of Electrocardiogram Signal

The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...
