Ask any engineer what the velocity of a point on a rigid body is, and they will correctly say that it's the time rate of change of a linear position vector. Ask any engineer what angular velocity is, ...

Abstract: Estimation of position, velocity, and attitude of a rigid body is crucial for various applications. Many of these rely on position and Magnetic, Angular Rate, and Gravity (MARG) sensors, ...

Abstract: Resolvers are extensively used to measure absolute angular position and velocity of servo systems; the analog outputs of the resolver are amplitude modulated signals that contain the angular ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

Consider the rotor of a gyroscope. The rotor is attached to a frame that is rotating about a fixed vertical axes with a constant rate of ω 1, and with the rotor rotating relative to that frame at a ...

IMUs (inertial measurement units) have expanded from their traditional military usage and are now finding wider application in industrial segments. With their more compact form factors, lower power ...

To evaluate the leg kinematics and motion characteristics within able-bodied (AB) and spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals during stationary semireclined cycling. Three SCI and three AB subjects ...
