The MACCEPA is a straightforward and easy to construct rotational actuator in which the compliance can be controlled separately from the equilibrium position. A 3DOF joint with adaptable compliance is presented. The generated torque is a linear function of the compliance and of the angle between the equilibrium position and actual position. This makes this actuator perfectly suitable for dynamic walking, human-robotic interfaces, and robotic ...

The work presents the standing stabilization of a compliant humanoid robot against external force disturbances and variations of the terrain inclination. The novel contribution is the proposed control scheme which consists of three strategies named compliance control in the transversal plane, body attitude control, and potential energy control, all combined with the intrinsic passive compliance in the robot. The physical compliant elements of ...

Systematic empirical criminological research on compliance is still relatively scarce, and this is also the case for Belgium. However, with the growing use of community sanctions the topic is becoming more important in a political landscape in no small part governed by a media logic of fear and calls for repressive control. Compliance can be studied from different angles: from the perspective of the person being put under supervision, from the ...

Compliance mechanisms in multilateral environmental agreements (MEAs) have slowly but certainly replaced the classic dispute settlement procedures as the preferred means to ensure compliance with environmental obligations in public international law and their importance is growing. These mechanisms and procedures apply uniquely to the treaties that created them. At the same time, they show remarkable overlap and similarities. This article looks ...

Process mining can be used to measure the compliance between the actual behavior and the designed process. Traditionally, a single figure expressing the overall process compliance has only limited value to managers trying to improve their processes. This article proposes a new compliance methodology which first clusters the event log into homogeneous groups of event traces and then computes the compliance degree for each cluster separately. ...

The CARIATIDE study was designed to assess the impact of educational materials (EMs) on compliance and persistence rates with aromatase inhibitor (AI) treatment in postmenopausal women with hormone-receptor-positive early breast cancer. Patients were randomized to standard AI treatment (Group A; N = 1379) or standard AI treatment plus EMs containing information on a range of breast-cancer-related topics (Group B; N = 1379). Standardized ...
