Journal ArticleDOI
A High Performance Pneumatic Force Actuator System: Part I—Nonlinear Mathematical Model
Edmond Richer,Yildirim Hurmuzlu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed mathematical model of dual-action pneumatic actuators with proportional spool valves is presented, taking into account the nonlinear flow through the valve, air compressibility in cylinder chambers, leakage between chambers, end of stroke inactive volume, and time delay and attenuation caused by the connecting tubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rigid Body Collisions of Planar Kinematic Chains with Multiple Contact Points
TL;DR: Two solution procedures that cast the impact equations in differential and algebraic forms are developed to solve the rigid body collisions of planar kine matic chains with an external surface while in contact with other surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling, stability and control of biped robots-a general framework
TL;DR: An overview of the existing work and the needed future developments is presented and the use of discrete maps in studying the stability of the closed orbits that represent the dynamics of a biped, which can be characterized as a hybrid system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A High Performance Pneumatic Force Actuator System: Part II—Nonlinear Controller Design
Edmond Richer,Yildirim Hurmuzlu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, two nonlinear force controllers based on sliding mode control theory are presented for the pneumatic system with relatively short tubes, and at frequencies up to 20 Hz.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the Measurement of Dynamic Stability of Human Locomotion
TL;DR: A quantitative stability index has been developed to characterize the ability of humans to maintain steady gait patterns and the utility of the stability indices as quantitative measures of dynamic stability of gait for the subject population tested during the present study.
