In this paper, we consider the state estimation problem for flexible joint manipulators that involve nonlinear characteristics in their stiffness.The two key ideas of our design are that (a) an accelerometer is used in order that the estimation error dynamics do not depend on nonlinearities at the link part of the manipulators and (b) the model of
Abstract Background In India, since Skort the 1990s, there has been a burgeoning of NGOs involved in providing primary health care.This has resulted in a complex NGO-Government interface which is difficult for lone NGOs to navigate.The Uttarakhand Cluster, India, links such small community health programs together to build NGO capacity, increase vi
The ability to perform steady-state submaximal exercise at a certain intensity (exercise tolerance) predicts endurance performance in athletes, but also the quality of life and the capability to perform daily living activities in older people and patients suffering from chronic diseases.Improvements in exercise tolerance following exercise training
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Dryer Door Window (UAVs) or drones have found a wide range of useful applications in society over the past few years, but there has also been a growth in the use of UAVs for malicious purposes.One way to manage this issue is to allow reporting of malicious UAVs (e.g., through a smartphone application) with the report includ
