Portable force platforms are increasingly used for neuromuscular performance assessment in field-based environments; however, their validity may vary depending on the analyzed variable and the experimental configuration. The present study investigated the concurrent validity and test-retest reliability of a novel…

Small insects perform agile locomotion, such as running, jumping, and flying. Recently, many robots, inspired by such insect performance, have been developed and are expected to be smaller and more maneuverable than conventional robots. For the development of insect-inspired robots, understanding the mechanical…

Background Previous studies have typically measured velocity and power parameters during the push-up, either using one or two force platforms. The purpose of the study was to compare the force, velocity, and power parameters between the one-force-platform method and the two-force-platform method during plyometric…

Older adults face an increased risk of falls that may have severe consequences for their well-being. Routine, accessible clinical screening may help mitigate fall risk through early detection of balance impairments. Portable force plates offer a convenient and practical solution for balance assessment in clinical…

Force plate testing is commonly used to assess athlete performance, however there is no research into the effect the surface underneath the force plate has on derived variables. The aim of this study was to investigate whether different surfaces underneath a force plate would elicit differences in derived force plate…

'Volker Nock' 'Ashley Garrill' 'Pouya Rezai'] Pathogenic fungi and oomycetes give rise to a significant number of animal and plant diseases. While the spread of these pathogenic microorganisms is increasing globally, emerging resistance to antifungal drugs is making associated diseases more difficult to treat.…

'Zhibin Yu' 'Jandro L. Abot'] The accuracy of aerial work platform weighing is essential for safety. However, in practice, the same weight placed at different locations on the platform can yield varying readings, which is a phenomenon known as eccentric load. Measurement errors caused by eccentric loads can lead to…

— This paper presents a kinematic definition of a serialized Stewart platform designed for autonomous in-space assembly called an Assembler. The Assemblers architecture describes problems inherent to the inverse kinematics of overactuated mixed kinematic systems. This paper also presents a methodology for optimizing…

The centrifuge force microscope (CFM) was recently introduced as a platform for massively parallel single-molecule manipulation and analysis. Here we developed a low-cost and selfcontained CFM module that works directly within a commercial centrifuge, greatly improving accessibility and ease of use. Our instrument…

'Marco Tani' 'Valerio Vignoli' 'Stefano De Muro' 'Marco Tesei'] Here, we propose a novel application of a low-cost robust gravimetric system for public place access monitoring purposes. The proposed solution is intended to be exploited in a multi-sensor scenario, where heterogeneous information, coming from different…

Mechanobiology is focused on how the physical forces and the mechanical properties of proteins, cells and tissues contribute to physiology and disease. While the response of proteins and cells to mechanical stimuli is critical for function, the tools to probe these activities are typically restricted to single molecule…

Demonstrations for Dexterous Manipulation Authors: ['Claire Chen' 'Yu Zheng' 'Hojung Choi' 'Mark R. Cutkosky' 'Jeannette Bohg'] Abstract— Imitation learning requires high-quality demonstrations consisting of sequences of state-action pairs. For contact-rich dexterous manipulation tasks that require finegrained…

In this paper, we develop estimation and control methods for quickly reacting to collisions between omnidirectional mobile platforms and their environment. To enable the full-body detection of external forces, we use torque sensors located in the robot's drivetrain. Using model based techniques we estimate, with good…

Cellular force generation and transmission are fundamental processes driving cell migration, division, tissue morphogenesis, and disease progression. Traction Force Microscopy (TFM) and Monolayer Stress Microscopy (MSM) have emerged as essential techniques for quantifying these mechanical processes, but current…

—Multi-agent human-robot co-manipulation is a poorly understood process with many inputs that potentially affect agent behavior. This paper explores one such input known as interaction force. Interaction force is potentially a primary component in communication that occurs during comanipulation. There are, however…

In this paper, we outline some potential conflicts that platform owners and software developers face in mobile application markets. Our arguments are based on comments captured in specialized online discussion forums, in which developers gather to share knowledge and experiences. The key findings indicate conflicts of…

The increasing importance and predictive power of modern molecular modeling, driven by physics- and machine learning-based methods, necessitates a new collaborative architecture to replace the isolated, traditional model of software development. The traditional approach often led to redundant engineering effort, high…
