Impedance control in a wave-based teleoperator for rehabilitation motor therapies assisted by robots.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
This paper presents an improved wave-based bilateral teleoperation scheme for rehabilitation therapies assisted by robot manipulators. The main feature of this bilateral teleoperator is that both robot manipulators, master and slave, are controlled b...

Firing rate dynamics in recurrent spiking neural networks with intrinsic and network heterogeneity.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Heterogeneity of neural attributes has recently gained a lot of attention and is increasing recognized as a crucial feature in neural processing. Despite its importance, this physiological feature has traditionally been neglected in theoretical studi...

Neural networks for tracking of unknown SISO discrete-time nonlinear dynamic systems.

ISA transactions
This article presents a Lyapunov function based neural network tracking (LNT) strategy for single-input, single-output (SISO) discrete-time nonlinear dynamic systems. The proposed LNT architecture is composed of two feedforward neural networks operat...

The effect of aspect ratio on the leading-edge vortex over an insect-like flapping wing.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Insect wing shapes are diverse and a renowned source of inspiration for the new generation of autonomous flapping vehicles, yet the aerodynamic consequences of varying geometry is not well understood. One of the most defining and aerodynamically sign...

Impact of delay on telesurgical performance: study on the robotic simulator dV-Trainer.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: To determine the impact of communication latency on telesurgical performance using the robotic simulator dV-TrainerĀ®.

Extracting motor synergies from random movements for low-dimensional task-space control of musculoskeletal robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In the field of human motor control, the motor synergy hypothesis explains how humans simplify body control dimensionality by coordinating groups of muscles, called motor synergies, instead of controlling muscles independently. In most applications o...

Principles of appendage design in robots and animals determining terradynamic performance on flowable ground.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Natural substrates like sand, soil, leaf litter and snow vary widely in penetration resistance. To search for principles of appendage design in robots and animals that permit high performance on such flowable ground, we developed a ground control tec...

Effects of non-uniform stiffness on the swimming performance of a passively-flexing, fish-like foil model.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Simple mechanical models emulating fish have been used recently to enable targeted study of individual factors contributing to swimming locomotion without the confounding complexity of the whole fish body. Yet, unlike these uniform models, the fish b...

Imparting protean behavior to mobile robots accomplishing patrolling tasks in the presence of adversaries.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Providing unpredictable trajectories for patrol robots is essential when coping with adversaries. In order to solve this problem we developed an effective approach based on the known protean behavior of individual prey animals-random zig-zag movement...

Structure Identification of Uncertain Complex Networks Based on Anticipatory Projective Synchronization.

PloS one
This paper investigates a method to identify uncertain system parameters and unknown topological structure in general complex networks with or without time delay. A complex network, which has uncertain topology and unknown parameters, is designed as ...
