Industrial robots are predominately used in point-to-point applications such as machine loading and unloading and spot welding. A smooth and time-optimal trajectory of robot is essential for precise handling applications. Lot of jerk-limited motion profiles are proposed in the literature and are classified under two approaches. In the first approach, the motion profiles are generated using pred...

Recently we developed an analog model to simulate Alexander's law in nystagmus secondary to dysfunction of a semicircular canal. Alexander's law is based on the observation that the amplitude of the nystagmus grows with increasing gaze in the direction of the fast phase and diminishes with gaze in the opposite direction. To investigate the assumptions made in the model, we conducted quantitativ...

The study of eye movements and oculomotor disorders has, for four decades, greatly benefitted from the application of control theoretic concepts. This paper is an example of a complementary approach based on the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. Recently, a nonlinear dynamics model of the saccadic system was developed, comprising a symmetric piecewise-smooth system of six first-order auton...

The purpose of this paper is to study some jerk motions considering some dynamic cases, other than the classical ones and extending the setting. We consider a special set of variations, finding a set of jerk motions, generalizing some cases known only in some particular forms till now. Finally we give a simple mechanical interpretation of these ideas. The subject is topical because we model a l...
