File Description [top]

Wilson Applied Science & Technology Abstracts provides comprehensive abstracting and indexing of more than 400 core English-language scientific and technical publications. Non- English-language periodicals are indexed if English abstracts are provided. Periodical coverage includes trade and industrial publications, journals issued by professional and technical societies, and specialized subject periodicals, as well as special issues such as buyers' guides, directories, and conference proceedings.

Wilson Applied Science & Technology Abstracts covers a wide range of interdisciplinary fields through a broad array of science and technology journals. Detailed abstracts of 50 to 150 words describe the content and scope of the source articles. Types of materials indexed include feature articles, interviews, obituaries, biographies, speeches, and product evaluations. Wilson Applied Science & Technology Abstracts is the equivalent of H.W. Wilson's Applied Science & Technology Index (AST) and H.W. Wilson's Applied Science & Technology Abstracts (ASA).

/AB	`ABSTRACT: A control scheme for point-to-point movements`
	`of robotic manipulators based on an established concept`
	`of human movement control is proposed. The`
	`attractiveness of parametric motor control in the field`
	`of robotics lies in its computational simplicity, as`
	`calculations are reduced to a single mapping operation`
	`that converts the desired kinematics of a movement into`
	`the pertinent force parameters. In this approach, the`
	`actuator drive signals have an invariant shape and are`
	`parametrically altered to fit the requirements of`
	`different tasks . An artificial neural network is used`
	`to provide the appropriate parameter values before`
	`movement onset. The approach does not require multiple`
	`feedback loops or explicit solutions of the inverse`
	`kinematic and inverse dynamic equations. A test trial`
	`showed that parametric motor control yields`
	`satisfactory performance results, allowing the`
	`manipulator to distinguish between targets in a 5`
	`(times) 3 grid and to generalize to new target`
	`locations.`
