A REDUNDANTLY ACTUATED CHEWING ROBOT BASED ON HUMAN MUSCULOSKELETAL BIOMECHANICS: DIFFERENTIAL KINEMATICS, STIFFNESS ANALYSIS, DRIVING FORCE OPTIMIZATION AND EXPERIMENT

Human masticatory system exhibits optimal stiffness, energy efficiency and chewing forces needed for horn the food breakdown due to its unique musculoskeletal actuation redundancy.We have proposed a 6PUS-2HKP (6 prismatic-universal-spherical chains, 2 higher kinematic pairs) redundantly actuated parallel robot (RAPR) based on its musculoskeletal bi

Most people are good at estimating summary statistics for different features of groups of objects.For instance, people can selectively attend to different features of a group of lines and report ensemble properties such as the mean length or mean orientation and there are reliable individual differences in such ensemble judgment abilities.Our recen

AimThat clinical trial (RAINBOW) showed that a 7.4 months overall survival benefit with the combination therapy with ramucirumab (RAM) and paclitaxel (PAC) as second-line therapy for patients with recurrent or metastatic gastric or gastro-oesophageal junction adenocarcinoma, compared with placebo (PLA) plus RangeCooker paclitaxel.We performed an an
