[EN] We present and validate a computationally efficient lower limb musculoskeletal model for the control of a rehabilitation robot. It is a parametric model that allows the customization of joint kinematics, and it is ...

[EN] A general optimal iterative method, for approximating the solution of nonlinear equations, of (n+1) steps with 2(n+1) order of convergence is presented. Cases n=0 and n=1 correspond to Newton's and Ostrowski's schemes, ...

[EN] In this work, a methodology is proposed to standardize turbochargers testing based on measuring the maps twice: in close to adiabatic and in diathermal conditions. Along the paper, it is discussed with special detail ...

[EN] The functionalisation of carbon nanotubes has been instrumental in broadening its application field, allowing especially its use in biological studies. Although numerous covalent and non-covalent functionalisation ...

[EN] Parallel robots (PRs) are closed-chain manipulators with diverse applications due to their accuracy and high payload. However, there are configurations within the workspace named Type II singularities where the PRs ...

[EN] The role of agriculture in society is vital due to factors such as providing food for the population, is a major source of employment worldwide, and one of the most important sources of revenue for countries. Furthermore, ...

[EN] Effective spinal cord injury (SCI) treatment remains a significant challenge, given the complex nature of the primary injury and associated devastating loss of neural activity. Neural progenitor cell (NPC)-based therapy ...

[EN] The paradigm proposed by Responsible Research and Innovation in the European Commission policy discourse identifies Public Engagement as a key area for exchange and dialogue among multiple actors following an inclusive ...

[EN] Rehabilitation tasks demand robust and accurate trajectory-tracking performance, mainly achieved with parallel robots. In this field, limiting the value of the force exerted on the patient is crucial, especially when ...

[EN] This paper presents a new approach for the multiobjective optimal design of robust controllers in systems with stochastic parametric uncertainty. Traditionally, uncertainty is incorporated into the optimization process. ...
