Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHuman Synergy Based Analysis to Control of Rehabilitation Robot for Adaptive AssistanceGyanendra Nath TripathiAdaptive assistance is needed to support mobility of disabled person due to weakened muscles and loss of joint control. Assistive robot requires coordinated motion trajectory of its joint, similar to human joint trajectory. A robot trajectory planning mechanism, based on comparative analysis between robot trajectory and human joint trajectory data is important to find coordinated trajectory for assistive robot joint. … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 8 Oct 2025 · 3,052 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Lightweight PyBullet-Based Framework for Fast Reinforcement Learning Prototyping on 6-DOF Robotic ArmsNgoc Kim Khanh Nguyen, Anh Thu Mang, Quang NguyenControlling 6-Degree-of-Freedom (6-DOF) robotic arms for precise manipulation tasks is challenging due to kinematic redundancy and the complexity of existing simulation environments like MuJoCo or ROS-Gazebo. This paper presents ArmReach6DOFEnv, a lightweight, open-source simulation framework built on PyBullet for rapid Reinforcement Learning (RL) prototyping on 6-DOF robotic arms. Using a Universal Robot Description Format (URDF) model, the environment supports a … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 11 Feb 2026 · 3,071 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDeveloping a Linear Quadratic Regulator for Human Lower Extremity Exoskeleton RobotSk Khairul Hasan, Anoop DhingraDuring the last two decades, exoskeleton robot-assisted neurorehabilitation has received a lot of attention. The major reason for active research in robot-assisted rehabilitation is its ability to provide various types of physical therapy at different stages of physical and neurological recovery. The performance of the robot-assisted physical therapy is greatly influenced by the robot motion control system. Robot dynamics are … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 23 May 2022 · 7,602 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIterative Feedforward Control for Bearing-Free Multibody SystemsNicola Y. Bailey, Christopher Lusty, Patrick S. KeoghAutomated machinery and robotics are commonly conventional multibody systems containing bearing components, which exhibit uncertain, discontinuous and complex tribological characteristics. These generate wear and fundamentally limit the precision of small scale motion due to the tribological effects being difficult to compensate for using model-based active control. However, they can be eliminated through the replacement of traditional bearing joints with flexure … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 6 Dec 2021 · 6,477 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Wheelchair Design and Operation Using Multi-Function ControllerJamal I. Al-NabulsiAn electric multi-function controlled wheelchair is designed and fully tested. This wheelchair is controlled by several physiological variables namely; voice, head movement, finger bending, breathing pressure and Electrooculography (EOG). The patient has the choice to use any of these variables to control the wheelchair. The voice command is recorded by a voice recognition module with its microphone, whereas, the head … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 7 · 25 Jul 2020 · 6,762 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBifurcation and Controlling Chaos in a Discrete-Time Biological SystemGuo FengThe dynamics of a discrete-time food chain model with strong pressure on preys is investigated. The types of equilibria of the system are analyzed using stability theory and bifurcation theory. The route to chaos via Neimark-Sacker bifurcation followed by period-doubling bifurcations of invariant curves is found for some parameter values through numerical simulation. Moreover, the chaos is controlled on the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 7 Jul 2020 · 6,681 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSomething about a Railbound Forging ManipulatorRelly Victoria Virgil PetrescuHeavy payload forging manipulators are mainly characterized by large load output and large capacitive load input. The relationships between outputs and inputs have greatly influenced the control and reliability. Forging manipulators have become more prevalent in the industry today. They are used to manipulate objects to be forged. The most common forging manipulators are moving on a railway to have … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 8 May 2019 · 7,086 accessesView PDFCite
