1. 1. Legged locomotion : Balance, control and tools - from equation to action

   Författare :Christian Ridderström; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :legged locomotion; control; balance; legged machines; legged robots; walking robots; walking machines; compliance; platform stability;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is about control and balance stability of leggedlocomotion. It also presents a combination of tools that makesit easier to design controllers for large and complicated robotsystems. The thesis is divided into four parts. LÄS MER

3. 2. Applications of the Virtual Holonomic Constraints Approach : Analysis of Human Motor Patterns and Passive Walking Gaits

   Författare :Uwe Mettin; Anton Shiriaev; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Motion Planning; Humanoid Robots; Virtual Holonomic Constraints; Underactuated Mechanical Systems; Mechanical Springs; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

   Sammanfattning : In the field of robotics there is a great interest in developing strategies and algorithms to reproduce human-like behavior. One can think of human-like machines that may replace humans in hazardous working areas, perform enduring assembly tasks, serve the elderly and handicapped, etc. LÄS MER

4. 3. Drum sound from floor coverings - objective and subjective assessment

   Författare :Ann-Charlotte Johansson; Teknisk akustik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; hydraulik; Maskinteknik; vacuum technology; vibration and acoustic engineering; hydraulics; acoustic standard; Mechanical engineering; tapping machine; veneer flooring; parquet flooring; binaural recording; foot impact; loudness; sound quality; listening test; paired comparisons; walking sound; drum sound; building acoustics; psychoacoustics; laminate flooring;

   Sammanfattning : Drum sound is the sound produced when an object, such as a foot, hits the flooring in the room in which the receiving ear is located. Drum sound has attracted interest in recent years, particularly due to an increased use of thin floating floor constructions, such as veneer or laminate flooring, which can produce loud and sharp walking sound.

5. 4. Space in motion : the art of activating space in-between

   Författare :Monica Sand; Abdellah Abarkan; Annette Arlander; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; in-between; dispersed production; producer observer; bridge; swing; penelope; Architecture; Arkitektur; Art; Konstvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : As a contribution to the emerging field of practice-based research in the arts, this thesis aims to activate space, experience and the concept in-between. As the in-between cannot be defined ahead of the rhythmic process it carries out and of which it is a part – a rhythm inherent in the city itself and in knowledge production – it is necessary to produce rhythmic relations between bodies, sites and concepts.

7. 5. Feasibility and efficacy of incorporating an exoskeleton in gait training during subacute stroke rehabilitation

   Författare :Anneli Wall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Hemiparesis is the most common acute manifestation of stroke and often has a strong negative impact on walking ability leaving one third of patients dependent in walking activities outside one’s home. Improved methods for training of gait during stroke rehabilitation could tackle the challenge of achieving independent walking and promote better outcomes. LÄS MER
