DOI: 10.1155/2022/6421611
Abstract: Lower ambient temperatures impair neuromuscular function and balance. However, whether lower ambient temperatures could alter joint angles and symmetry of lower limbs during crossing obstacles in males still remains unknown. Therefore, we investigated whether there… read more here.

DOI: 10.48550/arxiv.2203.11777
Abstract: As a single-track mobile platform, bikebot (i.e., bicycle-based robot) has attractive capability to navigate through narrow, off-road terrain with high speed. However, running crossing step-like obstacles creates challenges for intrinsically unstable, underactuated bikebots. This article… read more here.
