A Theory of Cheap Control in Embodied Systems.

PLoS computational biology
We present a framework for designing cheap control architectures of embodied agents. Our derivation is guided by the classical problem of universal approximation, whereby we explore the possibility of exploiting the agent's embodiment for a new and m...

Neural-Dynamic-Method-Based Dual-Arm CMG Scheme With Time-Varying Constraints Applied to Humanoid Robots.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
We propose a dual-arm cyclic-motion-generation (DACMG) scheme by a neural-dynamic method, which can remedy the joint-angle-drift phenomenon of a humanoid robot. In particular, according to a neural-dynamic design method, first, a cyclic-motion perfor...

An improved quasi-steady aerodynamic model for insect wings that considers movement of the center of pressure.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A quasi-steady aerodynamic model in consideration of the center of pressure (C.P.) was developed for insect flight. A dynamically scaled-up robotic hawkmoth wing was used to obtain the translational lift, drag, moment and rotational force coefficient...

Surrogate modeling of deformable joint contact using artificial neural networks.

Medical engineering & physics
Deformable joint contact models can be used to estimate loading conditions for cartilage-cartilage, implant-implant, human-orthotic, and foot-ground interactions. However, contact evaluations are often so expensive computationally that they can be pr...

Design of wormlike automated robotic endoscope: dynamic interaction between endoscopic balloon and surrounding tissues.

Surgical endoscopy
BACKGROUND: The current design of capsule endoscope is limited by the inability to control the motion within gastrointestinal tract. The rising incidence of gastrointestinal cancers urged improvement in the method of screening endoscopy.

Learning the inverse kinetics of an octopus-like manipulator in three-dimensional space.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This work addresses the inverse kinematics problem of a bioinspired octopus-like manipulator moving in three-dimensional space. The bioinspired manipulator has a conical soft structure that confers the ability of twirling around objects as a real oct...

A Fuzzy Kernel Motion Classifier for Autonomous Stroke Rehabilitation.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Autonomous poststroke rehabilitation systems which can be deployed outside hospital with no or reduced supervision have attracted increasing amount of research attentions due to the high expenditure associated with the current inpatient stroke rehabi...

A fast neural network approach to predict lung tumor motion during respiration for radiation therapy applications.

BioMed research international
During radiotherapy treatment for thoracic and abdomen cancers, for example, lung cancers, respiratory motion moves the target tumor and thus badly affects the accuracy of radiation dose delivery into the target. A real-time image-guided technique ca...

Goal-directed multimodal locomotion through coupling between mechanical and attractor selection dynamics.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
One of the most significant challenges in bio-inspired robotics is how to realize and take advantage of multimodal locomotion, which may help robots perform a variety of tasks adaptively in different environments. In order to address the challenge pr...

Team activity recognition in Association Football using a Bag-of-Words-based method.

Human movement science
In this paper, a new methodology is used to perform team activity recognition and analysis in Association Football. It is based on pattern recognition and machine learning techniques. In particular, a strategy based on the Bag-of-Words (BoW) techniqu...
