Robot Kinematics and Neural Networks: A Summary
Abstract: The robot control problem can be divided into two main areas: kinematics control (coordinating the kinematics chain links to generate the robot’s desired motion) and dynamics control (driving the mechanism's actuator to obey the programmed positions and speeds). Further, the kinematics analysis is performed in two ways in robotics, with forward kinematics (FK) and inverse kinematics (IK). FK is defined as the mapping from joint space to Cartesian space (also …

Introduction to Kinematics using Artificial Neural Network
Abstract: A neural network is a machine designed to simulate how a specific process or function ofinterest is performed by the brain. To achieve good efficiency, we use a large interconnectionof simple computer cells called "neurons" or "processing units." Therefore, a neural networkviewed as an adaptive machine can be described as a massively parallel distributedprocessor comprising simple processing units with a natural propensity to store experimentalknowledge and make it available for …

Medication in Older people
Abstract: Medication therapy in older people requires an equilibrium between the pros and cons. While many of these drugs improve the survival and quality of life of elderly people, upon prolonged usage they may develop symptoms attributed by the effect of these prescribed drugs. Medications should not be prescribed if they pose more risk than benefit. Apart from this, progressive ageing and associated bodily changes will deny the elderly advantages of …

Economic Load Dispatch: A Review
Abstract: In this paper, the problems related to economic load dispatch (ELD) have been discussed. The ELD problem can be conceived as an optimization problem of minimizing the total fuel cost of all generating units while satisfying the demand and losses. The ELD problems have non-smooth objective function with equality and inequality constraints. The economic dispatch problem means the real and reactive power of the generator varies within the certain limits …
