  • A novel concept for analysis and performance evaluation of wheeled rovers 

    Ghotbi, Bahareh; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Kövecses, József; Angeles, Jorge (Elsevier, 2015-01)
    [Abstract] - The analysis, design, and operation planning of rovers are often based on predictive dynamic simulation, where the multibody model of the vehicle is combined with terramechanics relations for the representation ...
  • Determination of the 3D Human Spine Posture from Wearable Inertial Sensors and a Multibody Model of the Spine 

    Michaud, Florian; Lugrís-Armesto, Urbano; Cuadrado, Javier (MDPI, 2022)
    [Abstract] Determination of spine posture is of great interest for the effective prevention, evaluation, treatment and evolution monitoring of spinal disorders. Limitations of traditional imaging systems, including cost, ...
  • Comparison of Several Muscle Modeling Alternatives for Computationally Intensive Algorithms in Human Motion Dynamics 

    Lamas, Mario; Mouzo, Francisco; Michaud, Florian; Lugrís-Armesto, Urbano; Cuadrado, Javier (Springer, 2022-04-05)
    [Abstract] Several approaches are currently employed to address the predictive simulation of human motion, having in common their high computational demand. Muscle modeling seems to be an essential ingredient to provide ...
  • Effect of gravity in wheel/terrain interaction models 

    Kovács, László L.; Ghotbi, Bahareh; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Niksirat, Parna; Skonieczny, Krzysztof; Kövecses, József (2020)
    [Abstract] Predicting the motion of wheeled robots in unstructured environments is an important and challenging problem. The study of planetary exploration rovers on soft terrain introduces the additional need to consider ...
  • Model-based coupling for co-simulation of robotic contact tasks 

    Peiret, Albert; González Varela, Francisco Javier; Kövecses, József; Teichmann, Marek; Enzenhoefer, Andreas (IEEE, 2020-10)
    [Abstract] Co-simulation of complex robotic systems allows the different components to be modelled and simulated independently using methods and tools tailored to their nature and time-scale, which makes the implementation ...
