A Flexible Exoskeleton Robot for Assisting Both Hip Joint Extension and Flexion by Youfu Liu, Jun Lu

“…Compared with the rigid exoskeletons， which added extra inertial to low limb and restricted wearer movement， but the flexible wearable lower extremity exoskeleton minimizes the impact of these factors on the human body locomotion. An exoskeleton that provides assistive force for both hip joint extension and flexion is designed through the variation in hip joint dynamics during strides. …”

Optimal Limb Length Ratio of Quadruped Robot Minimising Joint Torque on Slopes by Tadayoshi Aoyama, Kosuke Sekiyama, Yasuhisa Hasegawa, Toshio Fukuda

“…For the same reason, a robot’s structure needs to be suitably designed for locomotion in its working environment. Joint torques are necessary to maintain the posture of the robot and to accelerate joint angles during walking motion, hence, minimisation of joint torques reduces energy consumption. …”

Remote Wind Turbine Inspections: Exploring the Potential of Multimodal Drones by Ahmed Omara, Adel Nasser, Ahmad Alsayed, Mostafa R. A. Nabawy

“…Rotor-based designs demonstrate simpler and more efficient means to conduct such missions, whereas bio-inspired designs allow greater flexibility and more accurate locomotion. Whilst each of these design categories comes with different trade-offs, both should be considered for an effective hybrid design to create a more optimal system. …”

Investment attractiveness of the region’s development pole: methodology and analysis by M. M. Avezova, A. A. Urunov, M. A. Nasimova

“…In relation to the Tajik regions considered as quasi-economy, the following range of indicators has been substantiated and proposed: the region’s enterprises production total profitability; market conditions (the industry production volumes dynamics and the development poles); competitive situation (the large competitors number in the region); the ratio of profitable and unprofitable enterprises; average labour productivity; the growth locomotives presence in the region. Based on the accounting and analysis of these indicators, a comparative assessment of the investment attractiveness of the North Development Pole and the food industry of the Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan has been carried out. …”
