A REDUNDANTLY ACTUATED CHEWING ROBOT BASED ON HUMAN MUSCULOSKELETAL BIOMECHANICS: DIFFERENTIAL KINEMATICS, STIFFNESS ANALYSIS, DRIVING FORCE OPTIMIZATION AND EXPERIMENT

Human masticatory system exhibits optimal stiffness, energy efficiency and chewing forces needed for the food breakdown due to its unique musculoskeletal actuation redundancy.We have proposed a 6PUS-2HKP (6 prismatic-universal-spherical chains, 2 higher kinematic pairs) redundantly actuated parallel robot (RAPR) based on its musculoskeletal biomech

The aim of this article is to analyze the formation of Old English adverbs (A-Y) as retrieved from the HARD UNBLEACHED BREAD FLOUR lexical database of Old English Nerthus within the theoretical framework of the Layered Structure of the Word.Firstly, a critical review of the literature on Old English adverb formation is offered in order to emphasize

Leaching is necessary to maintain an acceptable salt balance in the root-zone of irrigated crops.This however contributes to point and non-point source water pollution externalities if not managed correctly.The use of a linear programming model, SALMOD (Salinity and Leaching Model for Optimal Irrigation Development) is Ginkgo demonstrated to determ

The correct functioning of a collimation system is Car Model Kit crucial to safely and successfully operate high-energy particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).However, the requirements to handle high-intensity beams can be demanding, and accident scenarios must be well studied in order to assess if the collimator design is r
