In biology, biarticular muscles are muscles that are passing two joints. One of the biarticular muscles that is passing the knee and the ankle joints is the Gastrocnemius muscle (see Fig. 1). Functions of the biarticular muscles during human movement have been studied extensively by many researchers but these functions still remain unclear. One of such functions is the transportation of mechani...

Reports on the special features and applications supported general purpose robotic hand systems.

In the recent decade, many research efforts in robotic society have considered motion planning for maintaining connectivity networked system (NRS) by exploiting autonomous mobility. On other hand, cognitive radio (CR) communication aims at fully spectrum a wireless network, while is seldom considered, as device itself may not decide where to go. this article, joint communication–motion (JCMP) p...

In this paper, three model-based fault diagnosis algorithms for robotic systems are designed, compared, simulated, and implemented. The first algorithm is based on a nonlinear adaptive observer (NLAO), where sufficient condition the convergence of estimator derived in terms linear matrix inequality (LMI) under persistence excitation condition. second an extended Kalman filter (AEKF). Unlike tra...

Despite a well-understood potential to increase productivity of the global construction industry and sustained, international research efforts in recent years, wide-scale adoption robotic technology currently remains elusive industry. As part larger industrial effort efficiency automation technologies within construction, this paper proposes novel multi-layered knowledge encapsulation model ena...

Engineering the software development process in robotics is one of the basic necessities towards industrialstrength service robotic systems. A major challenge is to make the step from code-driven to model-driven systems. This is essential to replace hand-crafted single-unit systems by systems composed out of components with explicitly stated properties. Furthermore, this fosters reuse by separa...
