    Database Covering the Prayer Movements Which Were Not Available Previously
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2023) Mihçin, Şenay; Şahin, Ahmet Mert; Yılmaz, Mehmet; Alpkaya, Alican Tuncay; Tuna, Merve; Akdeniz, Sevinç; Can, Nuray Korkmaz; Tosun, Aliye; Şahin, Serap
    Lower body implants are designed according to the boundary conditions of gait data and tested against. However, due to diversity in cultural backgrounds, religious rituals might cause different ranges of motion and different loading patterns. Especially in the Eastern part of the world, diverse Activities of Daily Living (ADL) consist of salat, yoga rituals, and different style sitting postures. A database covering these diverse activities of the Eastern world is non-existent. This study focuses on data collection protocol and the creation of an online database of previously excluded ADL activities, targeting 200 healthy subjects via Qualisys and IMU motion capture systems, and force plates, from West and Middle East Asian populations with a special focus on the lower body joints. The current version of the database covers 50 volunteers for 13 different activities. The tasks are defined and listed in a table to create a database to search based on age, gender, BMI, type of activity, and motion capture system. The collected data is to be used for designing implants to allow these sorts of activities to be performed.

    Database Covering the Previously Excluded Daily Life Activities
    (2023) Mihçin, Şenay; Şahin, Ahmet Mert; Yılmaz, Mehmet; Alpkaya, Alican Tuncay; Tuna, Merve; Can, Nuray Korkmaz; Şahin, Serap; Akdeniz, Sevinç; Tosun, Aliye
    In biomedical engineering, implants are designed according to the boundary conditions of gait data and tested against. However, due to diversity in cultural backgrounds, religious rituals might cause different ranges of motion and different loading patterns. Especially in the Eastern part of the world, diverse Activities of Daily Living (ADL) consist of salat, yoga rituals, and different style sitting postures. Although databases cover ADL for the Western population, a database covering these diverse activities of the Eastern world, specific to these populations is non-existent. To include previously excluded ADL is a key step in understanding the kinematics and kinetics of these activities. By means of developments in motion capture technologies, excluded ADL data are captured to obtain the coordinate values to calculate the range of motion and the joint reaction forces. This study focuses on data collection protocol and the creation of an online database of previously excluded ADL activities, targeting 200 healthy subjects via Qualisys and IMU motion capture systems, and force plates, from West and Middle East Asian populations. Anthropometrics are known to affect kinematics and kinetics which are also included in the collected data. The current version of the database covers 50 volunteers for 12 different activities, the database aims for 100- male and 100- female healthy volunteers as the final target including C3D and BVH file types. The tasks are defined and listed in a table to create a database to make a query based on age, gender, BMI, type of activity and motion capture system. The data is collected only from a healthy population to understand healthy motion patterns during these previously excluded ADLs. The collected data is to be used for designing implants to allow these sorts of activities to be performed without compromising the quality of life of patients performing these activities in the future.

    A Critical Review of Unpowered Performance Metrics of Impedance-Type Haptic Devices
    (Springer Verlag, 2019) Görgülü, İbrahimcan; Kiper, Gökhan; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    A kinesthetic haptic device’s performance relies on unpowered, powered and controlled system characteristics. In this paper, a critical review is carried out for the well-known metrics for kinematics, stiffness and dynamic aspects of robots that can be applied in evaluating the unpowered system performance of kinesthetic haptic devices. The physical meanings of these metrics are discussed and the important factors that affect the unpowered system performance of a kinesthetic haptic device are revealed.

    Kinematic Synthesis of Over-Constrained Double-Spherical Six-Bar Mechanism
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Maaroof, Omar W.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can
    The main problem in the synthesis of any mechanism is the fact that the objective function of the mechanism, which will be synthesized, should be found and simplified by using appropriate algebraic method. Finding objective function and calculation process can become complicated especially when the number of design parameters is increased for the over-constrained mechanisms. A new technique for solving the kinematic synthesis of over-constrained double-spherical six-bar mechanism is developed and applied in this work. Interpolation approximation is used during synthesis procedure. A numerical example for the kinematic synthesis procedure is given to validate the theory in application.
