Abstract Human motion capture (MOCAP) systems are vital while determining the loads occurring at joints. Most of clinical MOCAP very costly, requiring investment and infrastructure. Therefore, alternative technologies in demand. In this study, a novel markerless wearable system was assessed for its compatibility with biomechanical modeling software. To collect evidence, experiments were designed two stages quantifying range (ROM) hip joint, vitro vivo. Three constrained single-plane...

Motion Capture (MOCAP) systems provide kinematic data as an output. Biomechanical models use this input to calculate the forces acting on joints of human body. For high bio-fidelity modelling, accurate daily life are required. Here, we asses a novel marker-less wearable MOCAP system, SmartSuit Pro (Rokoko, Copenhagen, Denmark) for feeding in biomechanical modelling software. This suit is utilised medical collection purposes first time. The study provides proof concept upper body motion vitro...

Throughout history, humans have observed living or non-living things in nature and then imitated them relation to these observations. This is due the fact that energy found generally consumed at an optimal level order for it endure. Biomimetic inspiration many designs applications widely displayed, including within field of engineering. In this paper, we were inspired by double set jaws moray eel, which gives fish a huge advantage while hunting, with mobile pharyngeal jaw works together its...

Neurological disorders influence human life by destructing neural commands. In such cases, rehabilitation procedures should be applied to the patients immediately in order create plasticity and regain affected motor functions. On other hand as number of available physical therapists is limited requires heavy cumbersome work that affects overall quality treatments, immediate interventions are after accidents. As a result, studies towards robotics related literature includes both design...

Road vehicles using electric power sources have become increasingly popular in the last decade. Meanwhile, battery technology is still not mature enough to meet expected vehicle range; thus transition from ICE fully imminent. Therefore concept of hybrid drivetrain was introduced. The powertrain configuration includes at least two different energy converters together with an storage medium. In this article, gear shifting algorithms were introduced increase efficiency conventional vehicle....
