purpose to examine the intra-rater reliability of knee movement data in sagital plane obtained from electrogoniometer (egm) in a basic, sport-specific task of karate. methods a total of 23 elite karate athletes (13 females and 10 males; mean age of 16.10±1.26 yrs) participated in this study. the task was defined as performing three consecutive zenkutsu-dachi in two sessions. the used egm was a ...

objectives: investigating the effect of endurance training program onthe gait pattern of non-active elderly people. methods & materials: this study has been done by a semi-experience method with 23 old men and women by the average and standard deviation of 70/50±6/9 years old (n=14 people of exercise group, n=9 people of control group). the exercise group took part in this program for eight wee...

Interactions of a humanoid with a human are important, when the humanoid is requested to provide people with human-friendly services in unknown or uncertain environment. Such interactions may require more complicated and human-like behaviors from the humanoid. In this work the arm motion of a human is discussed as the early stage of human motion imitation by a humanoid. A motion capture system ...

Richard Je¤rey regarded the version of Bayesian decision theory he ‡oated in ‘The Logic of Decision’and the idea of a probability kinematics a generalisation of Bayesian conditioning to contexts in which the evidence is ‘uncertain’as his two most important contributions to philosophy. This paper aims to connect them by developing kinematical models for the study of preference change and practic...

In this study, a robust model predictive controller is designed for the trajectory tracking problem of non-holonomic constrained wheeled mobile robot based on an elliptic invariant set approach. The time-varying error kinematics and uses linear matrix inequalities to solve taking uncertainties into account. are modelled by fractional transform form contain both parameter perturbations external ...

the option-pricing problem is always an important part in modern finance. assuming that the stock diffusion is a constant, some literature has introduced many stock models and given corresponding option pricing formulas within the framework of the uncertainty theory. in this paper, we propose a new stock model with uncertain stock diffusion for uncertain markets. some option pricing formulas on...

in this paper, controlling the gyros with linear plus cubic damping is considered. hence, an adaptive control algorithm is proposed to overcome the uncertainties in model parameters and the chaotic behavior of gyroscopes. it is noted that for general applications dynamic model coefficient of gyros is not precisely determined, on the other hand, with respect to a particular coefficient gyroscope...

Uncertain graphs are employed to describe graph models with indeterministicinformation that produced by human beings. This paper aims to study themaximum matching problem in uncertain graphs.The number of edges of a maximum matching in a graph is called matching numberof the graph. Due to the existence of uncertain edges, the matching number of an uncertain graph is essentially an uncertain var...

snake robots are hyper-redundant robots that are connected with one or two dof joints. they offer a number of potential advantages beyond the capabilities of most wheeled and legged robots. in this paper, kinematics and dynamics of a planar multi-link snake robot in worm-like locomotion on an inclined surface is investigated. in this locomotion, snake robot is able to move in the vertical plane...
