Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the control of six degrees of freedom (PUMA560) robotic arm using visual servoing, based upon linear matrix inequality (LMI). The aim lies in developing such a method that neither involves camera calibration parameters nor inverse kinematics....

Purpose This paper aims to introduce a novel design of the biomimetic quadruped robot, including its body structure, three structural modes and respective workspace. Design/methodology/approach By taking a metamorphic 8-bar linkage as the body of a quadruped robot, the authors propose a...

An important application of gene expression microarray data is classification of biological samples or prediction of clinical and other outcomes. One necessary part of multivariate statistical analysis in such applications is dimension reduction. This paper provides a comparison study of three...
