Continuum soft robots (cSR) represent a particular class of the highest compliant deformable robots made of elastomers, typically driven by embedded pneumatic chambers. While their structural compliance is appealing for many tasks, most existing research on variable stiffness at a constant generaliz…
This paper investigates an explicit biomechanical framework to solve forward neuromusculoskeletal models (NMSMs), which includes muscle-tendon activation and contraction dynamics, musculoskeletal coupling, and multibody dynamics. The study addresses a novel muscle-wrapping method to compute the shor
Musculoskeletal simulations have become an essential tool for surgical planning and clinical evaluation of movement. Accurate simulations of muscle-tendon paths in musculoskeletal models promote better predictions of muscle forces and, therefore, joint torques. A precise description of a muscle-tend
An omnidirectional mobile manipulator (OMM) provides extended capabilities to a robotic system since it enlarges its workspace at the expense of an omnidirectional mobile base, which is nowadays a reality. When various OMM transport an object, the resultant constrained OMM dynamics is quite complex
