J Intell Robot Syst (2013) 69:131–146 137 for optimum performance in an iterative fashion. Lastly, from the two concepts, one of them is se- lected in terms of performance, manufacturability and cost. The initial analysis of the wing geometry de- sign process is performed by using the program XFLR5 .

In the anatomy of the human hand, a total of 13 bones form part of the wrist- eight carpal bones- scaphoid, lunate, triquetral, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate and hamate; and five metacarpal bones which are joined along with two long bones of the forearm- the radius and the ulna (Platzer 2004). This complex system of articulations works in unison to provide a global range of motion for the wrist…

Whether it is in an animal or human society, dominant individuals in social hierarchies receive benefits, but it is important to consider the possible costs that come with being at the top.
