in this paper, stability analysis of walking gaits and robustness analysis are developed for a five-link and four-actuator biped robot. stability conditions are derived by studying unactuated dynamics and using the poincarã© map associated with periodic walking gaits. a stable gait is designed by an optimization process satisfying physical constraints and stability conditions. also, considering...

bootstrapping the dea is one of the current methods of measuring robust efficiency by constructing a confidence interval and measuring the noise (bias) in production. in this study, two estimators: the conventional data envelopment analysis (dea) and bootstrap simulation with 2,000 bootstrap iterations were applied on a cross sectional data of 296 broiler farms in peninsular malaysia. the objec...
