An experimental analysis of human straight walking

Tao LI, Marco CECCARELLI

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2013, Volume 8, Issue 1,   Pages 95-103 doi: 10.1007/s11465-013-0357-4

Abstract:

In this paper, an experimental analysis of human straight walking has been presented. Experiments on human walking were carried out by using Cassino tracking system which is a passive cable-based measuring system. This system is adopted because it is capable of both pose and wrench measurements with fairly simple monitoring of operation. By using experimental results, trajectories of a human limb extremity and its posture have been analyzed; forces that are exerted against cables by the limb of a person under test have been measured by force sensors as well. Furthermore, by using experimental tests, modeling and characterization of the human straight walking gait have been proposed.

Analytical dynamic solution of a flexible cable-suspended manipulator

Mahdi BAMDAD

Frontiers of Mechanical Engineering 2013, Volume 8, Issue 4,   Pages 350-359 doi: 10.1007/s11465-013-0271-9

Abstract:

Cable-suspended manipulators are used in large scale applications with, heavy in weight and long in span cables. It seems impractical to maintain cable assumptions of smaller robots for large scale manipulators. The interactions among the cables, platforms and actuators can fully evaluate the coupled dynamic analysis. The structural flexibility of the cables becomes more pronounced in large manipulators. In this paper, an analytic solution is provided to solve cable vibration. Also, a closed form solution can be adopted to improve the dynamic response to flexibility. The output is provided by the optimal torque generation subject to the actuator limitations in a mechatronic sense. Finally, the performance of the proposed algorithm is examined through simulations.
