Abstract:
<p> Behavior is perhaps the most challenging component of an extinct organism to reconstruct and understand. Often in paleoanthropology, researchers primarily have fossils and paleoecological data; however, combining these into models of hominin behavior is difficult in practice. Yet for years archaeologists and wildlife biologists have been using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to model the mobility behavior of humans and other animals. This research seeks to integrate the methodology of cost-distance modeling in GIS into paleoanthropology to understand hominin mobility, specifically inv

Abstract:
The "Lévy-Walk" is a movement pattern commonly used by foraging animals in order to maximize resource acquisition in patchy environments. The walk consists of long linear movements between resource patches followed by concentrated disorganized movements within these patches. This pattern is notable in that there is no characteristic scale, it has been seen in species of all sizes ranging from microorganisms to large animals. My thesis adviser has previously done research that indicated that a human group, the hunter-gatherer Hadza tribe of Tanzania, also displays Lévy-like movement when obtain

Abstract:
Stroke causes impairment of the sensory and motor systems; this can lead to difficulties in walking and participation in society. For effective rehabilitation it is important to measure the essential characteristics of impairment and associate these with the nature of disability. Efficient gait requires a complex interplay of muscles. Surface electromyography(sEMG) can be used to measure muscle activity and to observe disruption to this interplay after stroke. Yet, classification of this disruption in stroke patients has not been achieved. It is hypothesised that features identified from the s

Moreover, previous studies suggested that gait disturbances in PD are associated with less automatic gait performances and therefore gait requires more attention, as it is essential for regulation of postural balance.

The other objective was to measure the adaptability of their walking pattern to changes in speed, and to find the factors that are limiting their maximal walking speed.

Abstract:
Many people with multiple sclerosis (MS) have difficulty with walking, which can decrease their sense of mobility. Gait stability was investigated by studying stride parameters and head movements at preferred and fixed speeds in those with MS. First, walking gait data were recorded at preferred and fixed walking speeds from 19 individuals with MS and 19 controls. Traditional gait parameters were compared, as was swing foot to center of mass (CoM) timing at mid-swing. Second, walking gait data in healthy young adults (n=20) were recorded at preferred speed and while stepping over an obstacle. S

The first point on making sample is that the fabric factory must provide the bulk sample of quality which is controlling the sources as well as the fabric of warp and weft have to be reach standard and fabric mill can expert

This paper use the D-H method to calculate direct and inverse kinematics of the robot. By designing the moving path and calculating the kinematics of the biped robot, we discuss the walking pattern of the robot in space. Besides this, this research design a fuzzy balance controller to help biped robot walking stability. It’s very different with other balance controller of biped robot. The input of this controller is the moment of the biped robot. The Out

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>機械工程學系所<br>102<br>In this thesis, three-mass model based preview control of ZMP (zero moment point) is considered for automatically generating the walking pattern sequence for a biped robot. First, the DH method is adopted to define the robot link coordinate systems, and analytic forward kinematics and inverse kinematics are derived. Then a simplified three-mass model for the biped robot is used for deriving the ZMP equation, and discrete-time preview control of ZMP is derived. In order to obtain better walking performance, double support phase is introduced in the gait plannin
