Euler angle representation in biomechanical analysis allows straightforward description of joints rotations. However, application of Euler angles could be limited due to singularity called gimbal lock. Quaternions offer an alternative way…
The paper presents a new observer for tilt estimation of a 3-D non-rigid pendulum. The system can be seen as a multibody robot attached to the environment with a ball joint. There is no sensor for the joint position of the sensor. The…
Just like the well-established Euler angles representation, fused angles are a convenient parameterisation for rotations in three-dimensional Euclidean space. They were developed in the context of balancing bodies, most specifically walking…
Objective: Overhead tasks are a primary inducement to work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Aiming to reduce shoulder physical loads, passive shoulder exoskeletons are increasingly prevalent in the industry due to their lightweight,…
The sit-to-stand movement is a key feature for wide adoption of powered lower limb orthoses for patients with complete paraplegia. In this paper we study the control of the ascending phase of the sit-to-stand movement for a minimally…
Human kinematics is of fundamental importance for rehabilitation and assistive robotic systems that physically interact with human. The wrist plays an essential role for dexterous human-robot interaction, but its conventional kinematic…
Numerous works concerning head pose estimation (HPE) offer algorithms or proposed neural network-based approaches for extracting Euler angles from either facial key points or directly from images of the head region. However, many works…
Most of the advanced control systems use sensor-based feedback for robust control. Tilt angle estimation is key feedback for many robotics and mechatronics applications in order to stabilize a system. Tilt angle cannot be directly measured…
This study focuses on the rotation of the hips and shoulders during a baseball bat swing, analyzing the time-series changes in rotational angles, rotational velocities, and axes using marker position data obtained from a motion capture…
Scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR), the coordinated motion between the scapula and humerus during arm elevation, is frequently altered in rotator cuff pathologies, yet the mechanical principles underlying coordination redistribution remain…
Head pose estimation (HPE) is a problem of interest in computer vision to improve the performance of face processing tasks in semi-frontal or profile settings. Recent applications require the analysis of faces in the full 360{\deg} rotation…
The complex ways in which humans utilize their bodies in sports and martial arts are remarkable, and human motion analysis is one of the most effective tools for robot body design and control. On the other hand, motion analysis is not easy,…
The aim of this work is to improve musculoskeletal-based models of the upper-limb Wrench Feasible Set i.e. the set of achievable maximal wrenches at the hand for applications in collaborative robotics and computer aided ergonomics. In…
Body posture influences human and robots performance in manipulation tasks, as appropriate poses facilitate motion or force exertion along different axes. In robotics, manipulability ellipsoids arise as a powerful descriptor to analyze,…
Background: Pressure mapping technology has been adapted to monitor over prolonged periods to evaluate pressure ulcer risk in individuals during extended lying postures. However, temporal pressure distribution signals are not currently used…
Denavit and Hartenberg-based methods, such as Cardan, Fick, and Euler angles, describe the position and orientation of an end-effector in three-dimensional (3D) space. However, these methods have a significant drawback as they impose a…
This paper proposes a novel contact and wearable sensing system for estimating the upper body posture and joint angles (ankle, knee, and hip) of the human body using foot pressure distribution information obtained from a sensor attached to…
This paper proposes a computational approach for generation of reference path for upper-limb exoskeletons considering the scapulohumeral rhythms of the shoulder. The proposed method can be used in upper-limb exoskeletons with 3 Degrees of…
Background: Lower limb exoskeletons can enhance quality of life, but widespread adoption is limited by the lack of frameworks to assess their biomechanical and human-robot interaction effects, which are essential for developing adaptive and…
This paper proposes a shoulder inverse kinematics (IK) technique. Shoulder complex is comprised of the sternum, clavicle, ribs, scapula, humerus, and four joints. The shoulder complex shows specific motion pattern, such as Scapulo humeral…
