Abstract: Model-based methods, which define pose parameters as 3D rotations of 24 joints relative to their parent joints, have proven highly effective in recovering 3D human meshes. Existing methods ...

We describe an optimization routine to design rolling contact joints with customized kinematics. This compact and robust mechanism can be “programmed” with desired end-effector paths and variable ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a hybrid kinematic calibration framework for serial robotic manipulators that integrates analytical parameter identification with data-driven residual learning. First, ...

I am a researcher and I'm using MuJoCo for my research on continuum robotics and long kinematic chains. For under about 40 bodies I've been getting good results from MuJoCo that are fast and highly ...

Kinematic models offer a simple means of estimating energy metrics such as power and total energy in ball milling, but their applicability to polymer degradation remains uncertain. Here, we evaluate ...

Even if you've never ridden a bike, you've seen iconic fictional bike gangs in films and on TV. The gangs in Sons of Anarchy, The Wild One, and Mad Max, all seem to have a uniform: worn leather, heavy ...

Kinematic viscometers have historically been of the gravity-driven glass capillary type, as specified in ASTM D446, and directly measure kinematic viscosity following the ASTM D445 Test Method.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I cover logistics and supply chain management. Every year, the well-known industry analyst firm Gartner publishes a list of the 25 ...
