The formulation, tuning and performance of a signal prediction algorithm as applied to the determination of a Go-NoGo state are discussed. Simulations were used to tune and assess the performance of the signal prediction ...

The aim of the overall research presented here was to investigate the motion of a wheeled mobile robot in an indoor (structured) setting while following a pre-set trajectory. An example of an application for this research ...

According to statistics coronary heart disease is one of the most common causes of death in the world. Heart failure patients with these diseases are the most common one. External assisted Pumps help ventricular thrust can ...

This paper describes the evaluation of the MyoWare Electromyographic (EMG) sensor performance during a typical end-use application to help determine if it could be used for an EMG-based controller of an upper-limb robotic ...

A typical and useful way to derive the dynamics equation of the tethered systems is by means of the Lagrange’s equations and various dynamic models of different tethered missions are established by the Lagrangian formulation. ...

In this paper we investigate the effects of stiffness, damping and temperature on the performance of a MEMS vibratory gyroscope. The stiffness and damping parameters are chosen because they can be appropriately designed ...

The current paper investigates two control methods for stabilizing a two-wheel inverted pendulum (TWIP) robot. It is well-known that the controller in the mobile robot plays a critical role in self-balancing and stabilizing. ...

This paper investigates the close formation control problem of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A robust cooperative control algorithm is proposed in light of the uncertainty and disturbance estimation technique. ...

Continuous wave photoacoustics has been under investigation for more than a decade. Matched-filtering and pulse compression techniques, which use a chirp waveform as input light source, have been implemented into this ...

The increasing use of robots operating close to people has made human-robot collisions more likely. In this paper, strategies intended to reduce the impact force to a safe level, without sacrificing the robot’s performance, ...
