backward motion
The generation algorithms for various gaits are investigated, namely, singlestride gaits with backward motion and fault-tolerant features, and multi-stride gaits with standing wave feature.

From theCambridge English Corpus
finger motion
Consequently, a very good approximation of human finger motion could be obtained.
From theCambridge English Corpus
fluid motion
The induced fluid motion causes the supporting column to thin and the entrained exterior fluid to move deeper into the leading drop.
From theCambridge English Corpus
horizontal motion
The north-south migration of the water near the surface is likely to take place via the atmosphere rather than by horizontal motion within the soil.
From theCambridge English Corpus
inertial motion
For what counted as an inertial motion in the one framework would be a forced motion in the other.
From theCambridge English Corpus
large-scale motion
The advantage is convenience and the avoidance of special test parts, but the disadvantages are large heat input and large-scale motion.
From theCambridge English Corpus
lateral motion
Glancing is different from oblique impact in that here the target is in lateral motion relative to the projectile (at speeds that may be comparable).
From theCambridge English Corpus
linear motion
The rotary motion of the motor was converted to linear motion with the help of a slider-crank mechanism.
From theCambridge English Corpus
mechanical motion
This result is consistent with mechanical motion where constant acceleration (and hence linear velocity) is considered to be a special case of motion.
From theCambridge English Corpus
motion control
In the design of high speed systems there are two key considerations: power transmission and motion control.
From theCambridge English Corpus
motion controller
The human controller is composed of a nonlinear motion controller and an impedance controller, which modifies the position reference.
From theCambridge English Corpus
motion detector
In both the retina and the brain, the response amplitudes are tuned to cer tain speeds which is in agreement with the nonlinear correlation-type motion detector.
From theCambridge English Corpus
motion simulator
It is believed that the parallel manipulator can also be used as an industrial robot, a motion simulator, and a micro-motion manipulator.
From theCambridge English Corpus
observed motion
The observed motion depends on the place and on the date of the observation.
From theCambridge English Corpus
orbital motion
This technique relies on the motion of the star along our line of sight, induced by the orbital motion of the planets around it.
From theCambridge English Corpus
passive motion
Similarly, it has been stated that the unipodal phase of human gait may be regarded as a passive motion.
From theCambridge English Corpus
pitching motion

From
Wikipedia
procedural motion
I think it was supposed to be a procedural motion, but was not in fact.

random motion
However, it also presents local minima that cannot be avoided in spite of using "backtracking", "random motion", "wait".
From theCambridge English Corpus
range of motion
The range of motion of the inner shoulder joint is about one third of those of the outer shoulder joint.
From theCambridge English Corpus
rapid motion
Even rapid motion may not affect our sense of the identity of things.
From theCambridge English Corpus
relative motion
The authors suggest that this could have resulted from relative motion between ossified bone and surrounding soft tissue, caused by radiation force on the bone.
From theCambridge English Corpus
repetitive motion
The development of musculoskelelatal problems can not be solely explained in the basis of biomechanical factors (e.g., repetitive motion) although such factors contribute.
From
Wikipedia
rhythmic motion
If the walking rhythm is not adjusted to accommodate for this external impulse, the robot's rhythmic motion will be disrupted resulting in instability.
