Motor Control: The Importance of Stiffness
نویسنده
چکیده
An octopus brings food grasped by a tentacle to its mouth by bending the tentacle around a joint formed by stiffened distal and proximal tentacle muscles, and thus may use motor control strategies analogous to those in animals with articulated limbs.

26 Though many daily tasks tend to destabilize arm posture, it is still possible to have stable 27 interactions with the environment by regulating the multijoint mechanics of the arm in a 28 task-appropriate manner. For postural tasks, this regulation involves the appropriate control 29 of endpoint stiffness, which represents the stiffness of the arm at the hand. While 30 experimental studies h...

In this study the current usage of each associated joint of a humanoid robot (NAO) during stand up process is analyzed. This study is the extension of our previous study [1] where the energy consumption of single and overall joints of a NAO robot during the walking process was researched while keeping the same stiffness values for all joints. This paper analyzes current stiffness relation of in...

Cancer is now a global concern, and control of the function of cancer cells is recognized as an important challenge. Although many aggressive chemical and radiation methods are in practice to eliminate cancer cells, most imply severe adverse toxic effects on patients. Taking advantage of natural physical differences between cancer and normal cells might benefit the patient with more specific cy...
