Robust Grape Detector Based on SVMs and HOG Features.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Detection of grapes in real-life images is a serious task solved by researchers dealing with precision viticulture. In the case of white wine varieties, grape detectors based on SVMs classifiers, in combination with a HOG descriptor, have proven to b...

Experimental and numerical studies of beetle-inspired flapping wing in hovering flight.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this paper, we measure unsteady forces and visualize 3D vortices around a beetle-like flapping wing model in hovering flight by experiment and numerical simulation. The measurement of unsteady forces and flow patterns around the wing were conducte...

An aerodynamic model for insect flapping wings in forward flight.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper proposes a semi-empirical quasi-steady aerodynamic model of a flapping wing in forward flight. A total of 147 individual cases, which consisted of advance ratios J of 0 (hovering), 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and  ∞, and angles of attack α o...

Accuracy of video observation and a three-dimensional head tracking system for detecting and quantifying robot-simulated head movements in cone beam computed tomography.

Oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology and oral radiology
OBJECTIVES: To assess the accuracy of detecting robot-simulated head movements using video observation (VO) and 3-dimensional head tracking (HT) in a cone beam computed tomography examination setup.

Physiological motion modeling for organ-mounted robots.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Organ-mounted robots passively compensate heartbeat and respiratory motion. In model-guided procedures, this motion can be a significant source of information that can be used to aid in localization or to add dynamic information to static...

Flow separation on flapping and rotating profiles with spanwise gradients.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The growth of leading-edge vortices (LEV) on analogous flapping and rotating profiles has been investigated experimentally. Three time-varying cases were considered: a two-dimensional reference case with a spanwise-uniform angle-of-attack variation α...

Is an Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction Required in ACL-Reconstructed Knees With Associated Injury to the Anterolateral Structures? A Robotic Analysis of Rotational Knee Stability.

The American journal of sports medicine
BACKGROUND: The effect of an anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction on rotational knee stability and corresponding anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft forces using multiple knee loading conditions including the pivot-shift phenomenon has not ...

Single actuator wave-like robot (SAW): design, modeling, and experiments.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this paper, we present a single actuator wave-like robot, a novel bioinspired robot which can move forward or backward by producing a continuously advancing wave. The robot has a unique minimalistic mechanical design and produces an advancing sine...

The use of a robotic tibial rotation device and an electromagnetic tracking system to accurately reproduce the clinical dial test.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to: (1) determine whether a robotic tibial rotation device and an electromagnetic tracking system could accurately reproduce the clinical dial test at 30° of knee flexion; (2) compare rotation data captured at t...
