Kernel Regression for Graph Signal Prediction in Presence of Sparse Noise

Pascal Frossard, Arun Venkitaraman

In presence of sparse noise we propose kernel regression for predicting output vectors which are smooth over a given graph. Sparse noise models the training outputs being corrupted either with missing samples or large perturbations. The presence of sparse ...

Compliant universal grippers as adaptive feet in legged robots

Auke Ijspeert, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Simon Lukas Hauser

This work investigates the usage of compliant universal grippers as a novel foot design for legged locomotion. The method of jamming of granular media in the universal grippers is characterized by having two distinct states: a soft, fluid-like state which ...

Investigating Sensorimotor Control in Locomotion using Robots and Mathematical Models

Robin Thandiackal

Locomotion is a very diverse phenomenon that results from the interactions of a body and its environment and enables a body to move from one position to another. Underlying control principles rely among others on the generation of intrinsic body movements, ...

Locomotion Dynamics for Bio-inspired Robots with Soft Appendages: Application to Flapping Flight and Passive Swimming

Yannick Morel, Mathieu Porez

In animal locomotion, either in fish or flying insects, the use of flexible terminal organs or appendages greatly improves the performance of locomotion (thrust and lift). In this article, we propose a general unified framework for modeling and simulating ...

3LP: A linear model of locomotion including falling, swing and torso dynamics

Auke Ijspeert, Salman Faraji

In this article, we present a new linear model (3LP) for bipedal locomotion which can describe swing and torso dynamics as well as falling. Compared to traditional inverted-pendulum based models, 3LP produces more human-like center of mass trajectory and s ...

One Step from the Locomotion to the Stepping Pattern

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Utku Evci

The locomotion pattern is characterized by a translation displacement mostly occurring along the forward frontal body direction, whereas local repositioning with large re-orientations, i.e. stepping, may induce translations both along the frontal and the l ...

Optimal slopes and speeds in uphill ski mountaineering: a laboratory study

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel, Philippe Vuistiner

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate the energy cost of linear (EC) and vertical displacement (ECvert), mechanical efficiency and main stride parameters during simulated ski mountaineering at different speeds and gradients, to identify an opt ...

Instrumented shoes for activity classification in the elderly

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Christopher Moufawad El Achkar

Quantifying daily physical activity in older adults can provide relevant monitoring and diagnostic information about risk of fall and frailty. In this study, we introduce instrumented shoes capable of recording movement and foot loading data unobtrusively ...
