    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The model-based investigation of motions of anthropomorphic systems is an important interdisciplinary research topic involving specialists from many fields such as Robotics, Biomechanics, Physiology, Orthopedics, Psychology, Neurosciences, Sports, Computer Graphics and Applied Mathematics. This book presents a study of basic locomotion forms such as walking and running is of particular interest due to the high demand on dynamic coordination, actuator efficiency and balance control. Mathematical models and numerical simulation and optimization techniques are explained, in combination with experimental data, which can help to better understand the basic underlying mechanisms of these motions and to improve them. Example topics treated in this book areModeling techniques for anthropomorphic bipedal walking systemsOptimized walking motions for different objective functionsIdentification of objective functions from measurementsSimulation and optimization approaches for humanoid robotsBiologically inspired control algorithms for bipedal walkingGeneration and deformation of natural walking in computer graphicsImitation of human motions on humanoidsEmotional body language during walking Simulation of biologically inspired actuators for bipedal walking machinesModeling and simulation techniques for the development of prosthesesFunctional electrical stimulation of walking. …

    Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the past decades, much progress has been made in the field of walking robots. The current state of technology makes it possible to create humanoid robots that nearly walk like a human being, climb stairs, or avoid small - stacles. However, the dream of a robot running as fast and as elegantly as a human is still far from becoming reality. Control of such fast motions is still a big technological issue in robotics, and the maximum running speed of contemporary robots is still much smaller than that of human track runners. The conventional control approach that most of these robots are based on does not seem to be suitable to increase the running speeds up to a biological level. In order to address this challenge, we invited an interdisciplinary community of researchers from robotics, biomechanics, control engineering and applied mathematics to come together in Heidelberg at the Symposium 'Fast Motions in Biomechanics and Robotics - Optimization & Feedback Control' which was held at the International Science Forum (IWH) on September 7-9, 2005. The number of participants in this symposium was kept small in order to promote discussions and enable a fruitful exchange of ideas.…

The current state of technology makes it possible to create humanoid robots that nearly walk like a human being, climb stairs, or avoid small - stacles. However, the dream of a robot running as fast and as elegantly as a human is still far from becoming reality. Control of such fast motions is still a big technological issue in robotics, and the maximum running speed of contemporary robots is still much smaller than that of human track runners. The conventional control approach that most of these robots are based on does not seem to be suitable to increase the running speeds up to a biological level.In order to address this challenge, we invited an interdisciplinary community of researchers from robotics, biomechanics, control engineering and applied mathematics to come together in Heidelberg at the Symposium ¿Fast Motions in Biomechanics and Robotics ¿ Optimization & Feedback Control¿ which was held at the International Science Forum (IWH) on September 7¿9, 2005. The number of participants in this symposium was kept small in order to promote discussions and enable a fruitful exchange of ideas.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 464 pp. Englisch.…
