Existing adaptive locomotion control mechanisms for legged robots are usually aimed at one specific type of adaptation and rarely combined with others. Adaptive mechanisms thus stay at a conceptual level without their coupling effect with other mecha...

A nonlinear Time Delay Estimation (TDE) based model reference adaptive impedance controller was developed for Tarbiat Modares University Upper Limbs Rehabilitation Robot (TUERR). The proposed controller uses a stable reference impedance model, which ...
Sensorimotor adaptation involves the recalibration of the mapping between motor command and sensory feedback in response to movement errors. Although adaptation operates within individual movements on a trial-to-trial basis, it can also undergo learn...
Exoskeletons can enhance human mobility, but we still know little about why they are effective. For example, we do not know the relative importance of training, how much is required, or what type is most effective; how people adapt with the device; o...
The presence of computation and transmission-variable time delays within a robotic control loop is a major cause of instability, hindering safe human-robot interaction (HRI) under these circumstances. Classical control theory has been adapted to coun...
Learning knowledge or skills usually is considered to be based on the formation of an adequate internal mental model as a specific type of mental network. The learning process for such a mental model conceptualised as a mental network, is a form of (...
Despite the breakthroughs in accuracy and efficiency of object detection using deep neural networks, the performance of small object detection is far from satisfactory. Gaze estimation has developed significantly due to the development of visual sens...
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reverse process, mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), are believed to play key roles in facilitating the metastatic cascade. Metastatic lesions often exhibit a similar epithelial-like state to that ...
. Both artificial and biological controllers experience errors during learning that are probabilistically distributed. We develop a framework for modeling distributions of errors and relating deviations in these distributions to neural activity.. The...
In the last 15 years or so, soft selective sweep mechanisms have been catapulted from a curiosity of little evolutionary importance to a ubiquitous mechanism claimed to explain most adaptive evolution and, in some cases, most evolution. This transfor...
