Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics and kinematics for translational motions in microgravity during parabolic flight.
TL;DR: The goal is to combine kinetic and kinematic data to examine translational motions during microgravity adaptations to encourage fine-control motions as these reduce the risk of injury and increase controllability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aftereffects and sense of presence in virtual environments: formulation of a research and development agenda.

TL;DR: The 2 most critical research issues identified were (a) standardization and use of measurement approaches for aftereffects and (b) identification and prioritization of sensorimotor discordances that drive aftere Affects.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Current friction-based criteria and thresholds for walking without slipping are reviewed for a number of work tasks, including activities such as walking on a level or an inclined surface, running, stopping and jumping, as well as stair ascent and descent, manual exertion and particular concerns of the elderly and mobility disabled persons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexibility and the value of on-orbit servicing: New customer-centric perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, a new customer-centric perspective on on-orbit servicing, where the value of onorbit servicing is studied independently from its cost, is proposed, and applications of this framework to both non-proe t and commercial systems are provided that demonstrate the usefulness of this new perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexibility in system design and implications for aerospace systems.
TL;DR: This paper will do so by reviewing the usage of the term in various fields of inquiries, and show that it is indeed possible to clearly and unambiguously characterize flexibility, and to disentangle it from closely related concepts.
