3 Toward a Human-Friendly User Interface to Control an Assistive Robot in the Context of Smart Homes
The design of robot dedicated to person with disabilities necessitates users implication in all steps of product development: design solution,... -
21 Newly Designed Rehabilitation Robot System for Walking-Aid
The increase in the life span of many elderly people means that there are more demands for aids to support them in normal life [11]. Previous efforts... -
16 Design and Testing of WREX
A passive gravity-balanced, 4 DoF arm orthosis was built for children with arm weakness such as in muscular dystrophy. The orthosis is identically... -
25 Post Stroke Shoulder-Elbow Physiotherapy with Industrial Robots
Robotic motor rehabilitation is a promising approach to rehabilitation of post stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury neuromotor... -
A Dynamic Model of Gene Regulatory Networks Based on Inertia Principle
In molecular biology, functions are produced by a set of macromolecules that interact at different levels. Genes and their products, proteins,... -
6 Dynamic Analysis
A general dynamical system subjected to an external force vector $\vec{f}(t)$... -
10 Equivalent Statistical Linearization
The solution of non-linear vibration problems in terms of probabilistic characteristics of the response is a complex task, since no general methods... -
12 Stability Analysis of Cylindrical Shells with Random Imperfections
As an example of imperfection sensitive structures, the axially compressed cylindrical shell is analyzed in the subsequent sections. Despite of its... -
2 Outline
The monograph is structured as follows: Part I including Chapts. 3–6 reviews briefly the theoretical background of the deterministic methods and... -
Distributed Evidence Filtering in Networked Embedded Systems
Networked embedded sensor systems use the evidence gathered by spatially distributed heterogeneous sensor nodes possessing partial and different... -
Distributed Control over Failing Channels
We give sufficient convex conditions for the existence of a distributed controller, with the same interconnection structure as the plant, when the... -
A Cross-Layer Approach to Energy Balancing in Wireless Sensor Networks
We consider a many-to-one real-time sensor network where sensing nodes are to deliver their measurements to a base station under a time constraint... -
Plenary Talk Notes on Multi-agent Motion Coordination: Models and Algorithms
Motion coordination is an extraordinary phenomenon in biological systems such as schools of fish and serves as a remarkable tool for man-made groups... -
neclab: The Network Embedded Control Lab
The network embedded control lab, neclab, is a software environment designed to allow easy deployment of networked embedded control systems, in... -
Symmetries in the Coordinated Consensus Problem
In this paper we consider a widely studied problem in the robotics and control communities, called consensus problem. The aim of the paper is to... -
Discrete Time Kuramoto Models with Delay
Motivated by the needs of multiagent systems in the presence of sensing and communication that is delayed, intermittent and asynchronous, we present... -
17 A Concept for Control of Indoor-Operated Autonomous Wheelchair
The present chapter introduces a navigation algorithm for a wheelchair in semistructured home environment. The user sets the end position and... -
18 Design of an Intelligent Wheelchair for the Motor Disabled
As rehabilitation technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and computer science have been rapidly developed, the dream of overcoming... -
8 Selectable Operating Interfaces of the Meal-Assistance Device “My Spoon”
Eating is a basic need for humans. In fact, it is so basic that most people are not aware of the motions that they use while eating. For some... -
Fuzzy Equational Logic
Equational logic deals with identities (equations) like x+y ≈ y+x, x.(y+z) ≈ x.y + x.z, dec(inc(x)) ≈ x, etc. Identities are simple formulas which...
