  • Socio-Economic Profile of Cycle Rickshaw Pullers: a Case Study
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by European Scientific Journal (European Scientific Institute) European Scientific Journal January edition vol. 8, No.1 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 UDC:656.12-05:316.35]:303.6(540)"2010" SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE OF CYCLE RICKSHAW PULLERS: A CASE STUDY Jabir Hasan Khan, PhD Tarique Hassan, PhD candidate Shamshad, PhD candidate Department of Geography Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh Abstract The present paper is an attempt to analyze the socio-economic characteristics of cycle rickshaw pullers and to find out the causes of rickshaw pulling. The adverse effects of this profession on the health of the rickshaw pullers, the problems faced by them and their remedial measures have been also taken into account. The study is based on primary data collected through the field survey and direct questionnaire to the respondents in Aligarh city. The survey was carried out during the months of February and March, 2010. The overall analysis of the study reveals that the rickshaw pullers are one of the poorest sections of the society, living in abject poverty but play a pivotal role in intra-city transportation system. Neither is their working environment regulated nor their social security issues are addressed. They are also unaware about the governmental schemes launched for poverty alleviation and their accessibility in basic amenities and infrastructural facilities is also very poor. Keywords: Abject poverty, breadwinners, cycle rickshaw pullers, disadvantageous, intra- city transport, vulnerability 310 European Scientific Journal January edition vol. 8, No.1 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Introduction: The word rickshaw originates from the Japanese word ‘jinrikisha’, which literally means human-powered vehicle (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1993).

  • Guide to Adapting a Snowdon Push Wheelchair
    Guide to adapting a Snowdon Push Wheelchair The route The route you will be taking for the Snowdon Push is approximately 8 miles long. You will begin on a short length of tarmac pathway at the base and continue on mixed narrow rock, gravel track and rock staircase. The gradient can be severe and slippery, even in dry weather. You will be going in both directions, so bear this in mind when designing and strengthening your ‘chariot’. The team Teams will normally consist of 10 to 16 able-bodied members, plus one SCI person in the chair. The chair: Strength Wheels and frame must be strong enough to survive 16 miles of rough terrain, including bumping up and down rocky steps around 30 centimetre sin height. Be sure not too burden the team with too much excess weight to transport up and down the mountain. Brakes Brakes are essential to help slow the downward journey. Discs are best, but bicycle style rim brakes are effective. Holding onto the tyre or push rims CAN cause blisters and serious injury. If you have no brakes, then consider having more team members on the ropes to assist with slowing down on the downward trip. Wheels Heavy duty spokes, mountain bike tyres, tubes filled with ‘slime’ are the best options here, as wheels take the worst hit when climbing. Designs of 2, 3 or 4 wheels are probably your safest option. Small castor wheels on the front are useless on the rough terrain, and in some instances can get caught on rocks and in gullies.

  • Motion Planning and Control Problems for Underactuated Robots
    Worskshop on Control Problems in Robotics and Automation, Las Vegas, December 14, 2002 Motion planning and control problems for underactuated robots Sonia Mart´ınez Escuela Universitaria Polit´ecnica Universidad Polit´ecnica de Catalu˜na Av. V. Balaguer s/n Vilanova i la Geltr´u08800, Spain Jorge Cort´es, Francesco Bullo Coordinated Science Laboratory University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 1308 W. Main St Urbana, IL 61801, USA October 22, 2018 Abstract Motion planning and control are key problems in a collection of robotic ap- plications including the design of autonomous agile vehicles and of minimalist manipulators. These problems can be accurately formalized within the lan- guage of affine connections and of geometric control theory. In this paper we overview recent results on kinematic controllability and on oscillatory controls. Furthermore, we discuss theoretical and practical open problems as well as we suggest control theoretical approaches to them. 1 Motivating problems from a variety of robotic arXiv:math/0209213v1 [math.OC] 17 Sep 2002 applications The research in Robotics is continuously exploring the design of novel, more reliable and agile systems that can provide more efficient tools in current applications such as factory automation systems, material handling, and autonomous robotic appli- cations, and can make possible their progressive use in areas such as medical and social assistance applications. Mobile Robotics, primarily motivated by the development of tasks in unreachable environments, is giving way to new generations of autonomous robots in its search for new and “better adapted” systems of locomotion. For example, traditional wheeled platforms have evolved into articulated devices endowed with various types of wheels 1 Figure 1: Underactuated robots appear in a variety of environments.
