Blind Walking
<p><em>Blind Walking</em> is a collection of stories that focuses on how characters react to various types of isolation. Many of the conflicts depicted in my writings were inspired by my own experience with quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic. Tracing everything from the physical isolation …

WALKING IN WAVES
… consists of two sections. The first section, “Walking in Waves,” is composed of stories about familial relationships and the balancing act of motherhood. Some of these stories play with unique formats or degrees of speculative fiction. Many are rather lyrical in nature. The second section is a …

Finger walking control of a two-dimensional walking model through inverse kinematics
… be an option for restoring some motion and some walking for the patient. Electrodes can either be placed on the skin or muscle to provide an electrical impulse that stimulates the muscles into contraction. Current systems provide buttons that use set functions for left and right steps with …

Phase resetting of human walking
… of the neural control of unimpaired human walking. Specifically, this work studied the potential for phase resetting of human walking by analyzing results from treadmill walking experiments. Subjects walked on a treadmill while wearing a robotic device that attaches to the lower leg, which …

Walking as knowing: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of leisure in the lived experience of urban walking
… research probes the relevance of literature on walking and meaningfulness placed on walking by the walker, from viewpoints of history, literature, language, and the taken-for-granted life-world as inscribed in Théorie de la Demarche (Balzac, 1981), a 19th Century essay on walking and expressed …

Human Inspired Robot Walking Pattern Planning
… robots can be simplified along with the bipedal walking formulation methods. These robots consist of rigid bodies connected with actuated joints supposed to mimic human like walking. Although many researchers have tackled the problem of bipedal dynamic walking, it is far from matching human …

Development of track-walking DNA nanomotors
Artificial nanowalkers are inspired by bimolecular counterparts from living cells. More than a dozen of nanowalkers have been fabricated and demonstrated by various rectification mechanisms and driving methods, including ratchet and burn-the-bridge for the former and fuels, enzymes, light for the …

Walking and the Reinvention of Space
Through the figure of the walker, this thesis considers the relationship between rhetoric and space, where rhetoric is understood as embodied, performative action and space is considered both as a material artifact and an ideological production. While it is a basic tenet of rhetoric that it always …

Assessment of visual performance during walking
… to reflect how vision functions dynamically. The walking-induced movements of head and eyes challenge vision in different ways, and because of age-related changes in various systems, including the visual system, acquiring accurate visual information of both stationary and moving objects may become …

Biped walking trajectory design and stabilization
Biped robot locomotion has been studied intensively for many decades, and one of the most challenging topics of study is the dynamic motion of the biped robot. This thesis will utilize the zero-moment point (ZMP) along with a simplified dynamics model, the linear inverted pendulum model (LIPM), to …

Models of entrainment of human walking
… which has been observed and quantified in walking. The results indicate that energy control may be responsible for entrainment in human walking, but a revised model may be required to match the experimental coefficients of variation in step duration and velocity.

Walking in the Novels of Thomas Hardy
This thesis considers walking in the novels of Thomas Hardy as an expression of deracination and normlessness. Unlike his literary predecessors who celebrated walking as a salutary activity, Hardy envisions movement as an inherently disruptive, often destructive act. Informed by spatial theory and …

Peripato Telematikos: walking, cartography and software art
Peripato Telematikos began with walking as a means to explore and investigate the places and spaces we inhabit and our relationships with them. The research asked how can peripatetic art practices inform the methodologies used by individuals to (re)present their environs and what media art …

Genetically evolved dynamic control for quadruped walking
… strategy is tested both in simulation and on a walking robot. The design of the walker has been chosen to be statically unstable, so that during motion less than three supporting feet may be in contact with the ground. The control strategy adopted is capable of propelling the artificial walker …
