This book highlights the latest innovations and applications in
robotics, as presented by leading international researchers and
engineers at the ROMANSY 2020, the 23rd CISM IFToMM Symposium on
Theory and Practice of Robots and Manipulators. The ROMANSY
symposium is the first established conference that focuses on
robotics theory and research, rather than industrial aspects.
Bringing together researchers from a broad range of countries, the
symposium is held bi-annually and plays a vital role in the
development of the theory and practice of robotics, as well as the
mechanical sciences. ROMANSY 2020 marks the 23rd installment in a
series that began in 1973. The event was also the first
topic-specific conference of the IFToMM, though not exclusively
intended for the IFToMM community.
Mechanical laws of motion were applied very early for better
understanding anthropomorphic action as suggested in advance by
Newton "For from hence are easily deduced the forces of machines,
which are compounded of wheels, pullies, levers, cords, and
weights, ascending directly or obliquely, and other mechanical
powers; as also the force of the tendons to move the bones of
animals". In the 19th century E.J. Marey and E. Muybridge
introduced chronophotography to scientifically investigate animal
and human movements. They opened the field of motion analysis by
being the first scientists to correlate ground reaction forces with
kinetics. Despite of the apparent simplicity of a given skilled
movement, the organization of the underlying neuro-musculo-skeletal
system remains unknown. A reason is the redundancy of the motor
system: a given action can be realized by different muscle and
joint activity patterns, and the same underlying activity may give
rise to several movements. After the pioneering work of N.
Bernstein in the 60's on the existence of motor synergies, numerous
researchers "walking on the border" of their disciplines tend to
discover laws and principles underlying the human motions and how
the brain reduces the redundancy of the system. These synergies
represent the fundamental building blocks composing complex
movements. In robotics, researchers face the same redundancy and
complexity challenges as the researchers in life sciences. This
book gathers works of roboticists and researchers in biomechanics
in order to promote an interdisciplinary research on
anthropomorphic systems at large and on humanoid robotics in
particular.
Experimental Robotics XV is the collection of papers presented at
the International Symposium on Experimental Robotics, Roppongi,
Tokyo, Japan on October 3-6, 2016. 73 scientific papers were
selected and presented after peer review. The papers span a broad
range of sub-fields in robotics including aerial robots, mobile
robots, actuation, grasping, manipulation, planning and control and
human-robot interaction, but shared cutting-edge approaches and
paradigms to experimental robotics. The readers will find a breadth
of new directions of experimental robotics. The International
Symposium on Experimental Robotics is a series of bi-annual
symposia sponsored by the International Foundation of Robotics
Research, whose goal is to provide a forum dedicated to
experimental robotics research. Robotics has been widening its
scientific scope, deepening its methodologies and expanding its
applications. However, the significance of experiments remains and
will remain at the center of the discipline. The ISER gatherings
are a venue where scientists can gather and talk about robotics
based on this central tenet.

This volume constitutes revised selected papers from the four
workshops collocated with the 19th International Conference on
Software Engineering and Formal Methods, SEFM 2021, held virtually
during December 6-10, 2021. The 21 contributed papers presented in
this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 29
submissions. The book also contains 3 invited talks. SEFM 2021
presents the following four workshops: CIFMA 2021 - 3rd
International Workshop on Cognition: Interdisciplinary Foundations,
Models and Applications;CoSim-CPS 2021 - 5th Workshop on Formal
Co-Simulation of Cyber-Physical Systems;OpenCERT 2021 - 10th
International Workshop on Open Community approaches to Education,
Research and Technology;ASYDE 2021 - 3rd International Workshop on
Automated and verifiable Software sYstem Development. Due to the
Corona pandemic this event was held virtually.
Modern Methods for Affordable Clinical Gait Analysis: Theories and
Applications in Healthcare Systems is a handbook of techniques,
tools and procedures for the study and improvement of human gait.
It gives a concise description of clinical gait analysis,
especially gait abnormality detection problems and therapeutic
interventions using inexpensive devices. A brief demonstration on
validation testing of these devices for its clinical applicability
is also presented. Content coverage also includes step-by-step
processing of the data acquired from these devices. Future
perspectives of low-cost clinical gait assessment systems are
explored. This book bridges the gap between engineering and
biomedical fields as it diagnoses and monitors
neuro-musculoskeletal abnormalities using the latest technologies.
The authors discuss how early detection technology allows us to
take precautionary measures, in order to delay the degeneration
process, through development of a clinical gait analysis tool. One
unique feature of this book is that it pays significant attention
to the challenges of conducting gait analysis in developing
countries with limited resources. This reference will guide you
through setting up a low-cost gait analysis lab. It explores the
relationship between vision-based pathological gait detection, the
design of tools for gait diagnosis and therapeutic interventions.
