In this paper we consider the postural stability problem for nonlinearly actuated quasi-static biped robots, both with respect to the joint angular positions and also with reference to the gripping effect between the ...

In this work a direct method to measure the stability of metro system lines with respect to a previously constructed time schedule is presented. For this purpose we first model saturation effects using a real time discrete ...

Active Thermochemical Tables (ATcT) are a good example of a significant breakthrough in chemical science that is directly enabled by the US DOE SciDAC initiative. ATcT is a new paradigm of how to obtain accurate, reliable, ...

The effect of solid-state phase transformation at low temperature on residual stresses in butt welded ferritic thin steel plates has been examined employing a finite element (FE) code. An algorithm considering the solidstate ...

Uno de los principales problemas que confrontan las empresas dedicadas a la elaboración de frutos y vegetales frescos cortados en Panamá, es que no se han realizado estudios tendientes a establecer el tiempo de vida útil ...

El proyecto consistió en hacer los análisis para determinar el porcentaje de absorción de la guadua para cada solución o método de inmunización, así como también la realización de diferentes pruebas en el laboratorio para ...

La identificación de conglomerados y proyectos basados en I+D+I, ejecutada bajo el Proyecto “Estudio del sector agropecuario y agroindustrial panameño para identificar conglomerados y proyectos basados en I+D+I que fomenten ...

Passive energy devices (PED) are useful to enhance structural performance by reducing seismically induced structural damage. Metallic dampers are one such PED. When they are designed such that all damage is concentrated ...

infoplazas arose in Panama as means to combat the digital gap by providing Internet connectivity to the economically disadvantaged and geographically remote. Yet there is a dearth of information regarding their actual ...

Frequency domain methodology is applied to obtain a nominal model for the Zero-Moment Point (ZMP) stability index of a biped robot in an attempt to establish a relationship between the robot trunk trajectories and the ...
