A key problem for biological motor control is to establish a link between an idea of a
movement and the generation of a set of muscle-stimulating signals that lead to the …

After three decades of computational multibody system (MBS) dynamics, current research is
centered at the development of compact and user-friendly yet computationally efficient …

Determining the internal dynamics of the human spine's biological structure is one essential
step that allows enhanced understanding of spinal degeneration processes. The …

Screw and Lie group theory allows for user-friendly modeling of multibody systems (MBS),
and at the same they give rise to computationally efficient recursive algorithms. The inherent …

The load distribution among lumbar spinal structures—still an unanswered question—has
been in the focus of this hybrid experimental and simulation study. First, the overall passive …

End-effector-based robots are widely adopted by physiotherapists and caregivers as support
in the delivery of the rehabilitation training to the patient. The validation of these devices …

In the paper, the authors present a general mathematical model of an open-loop kinematic
chain with auxiliary sub-chains in application to the dynamics analysis of an exemplary …

Collision‐free autonomous path planning under a dynamic and uncertainty vineyard
environment is the most important issue which needs to be resolved firstly in the process of …

The paper discusses the concepts of isotropy and decoupling in n-DoF (degrees of freedom)
manipulators: isotropy means that its kinetostatic properties are identical in all directions …

Objective: Robotic devices are commonly used in rehabilitation as support to
physiotherapists in their daily rehabilitation activities, since they can monitor and quantify the …
