The work of the robot is assessed for several trajectories and discussed as an optimization criterion to reduce the energy consumption of tendon-driven locomotors. The main contributions of this paper ...

To obtain such robustness properties and maintain human-like performance, strength, workspace and size especially in the upper body, an elastic backbone approach is presented and discussed. Compared ...

Excess training volume or too much training that uses the elastic ... muscle as well, such as stretching the Achilles insertion over the edge of a step. Overall, it is probably better to manage muscle ...

A key feature of the proposed controller is the switching logic for the integral action that enables the combination of excellent positioning accuracy in free motion with compliant manipulation in ...

What Is a Rotator Cuff Tear? A rotator cuff tear is a rip in the group of four muscles and tendons that stabilize your shoulder joint and let you lift and rotate your arms (your rotator cuff).

Some of the most common issues are listed below. An infraspinatus tear occurs when the muscle’s tendon partially or ...

PRESENTER:Our muscles are a little bit like elastic bands, they can get longer or shorter. Often, our muscles work in pairs to move our bodies. In our leg, if the muscle on the back of our thigh ...
