A humanoid robot is a particular form of embodied agent. The form that an agent takes has a
major impact on how that agent interacts with its environment and how it develops an …

Quantitative characterization of surgical movements can improve the quality of patient care
by informing the development of new training protocols for surgeons, and the design and …

Incorporating human natural features into the algorithmic functions of robots can enhance
performance efficiency. One of the most popular features of human movements is the power …

The speed-curvature power law is one of the most studied constraints in biological
