Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsKinematics Model of Snake Robot Considering Snake ScaleRaisuddin Khan, M. Watanabe, A. A. ShafieProblem statement: In snake robot research, one of the most efficient forms of locomotion is the lateral undulation. However, lateral undulation, also known as serpentine locomotion, is ill-suited for narrow spaces, as the body of the snake must assume a certain amount of curvature to propel forward. Approach: To overcome the inability to adapt to narrow spaces, a novel type … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 8,130 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesVARIABILITY IN THE LIGNINOLYTIC ENZYMES ACTIVITY BY LENTINULA EDODES IN SUBMERGED CULTURE WITH LIGNIN AND GLUCOSECitlalli Harris-Valle, Elisa Valenzuela-Soto, Alfonso Sánchez et al.The white-rot basidiomycete Lentinula edodes is the second most edible mushroom cultivated on the world. This fungus decomposes cell-wall associated macromolecules, is a natural degrader of lignin polymers. The differences in enzyme activities between strains of L. edodes provided useful information about the participation of enzymes in different development stages of the fungus. The effect of lignin on the fungal … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 28 Apr 2014 · 7,845 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnnotation of Facial Expressions (Navarasa) in Videos Using Deep LearningReshma M R, Kannan B, Jagathy Raj V P, Shailesh SFacial expression plays a significant role in understanding human behavior, alongside other relevant elements such as body posture, gait, and hand gestures. In the context of Indian Classical Dance (ICD), these elements work together to convey the stories depicted by characters from Indian mythology.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProsthetic Knee Mechanism Using a Double Locking System as a Safety MeasureEicarl Saynes Vazquez, Esther Lugo GonzálezThe design of a four-link knee prosthesis mechanism with two locking systems activated during the flexion/extension phase is presented. The first is geometric, totally mechanical and activated by the user's weight. The second is variable and is activated automatically when walking on irregular or special surfaces is required. The links' dimensions were selected using the differential evolutionary optimization algorithm to … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2024 · 5,701 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSingularity Analysis of a Hybrid Serial-Cable Driven Planar RobotSamir Lahouar, Lotfi RomdhaneIn this study, we address the problem of singularities of a hybrid serial-cable driven planar robot. Based on an analytical kinetostatic analysis three types of singularities are determined, i.e., serial, parallel, and combined singularities. In addition, cable tensions should be positive, otherwise, the robot will be uncontrollable. The serial singularity corresponds to positions where the serial port of the robot … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 26 Sep 2022 · 5,604 accessesView PDF Cite
