Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, yet rates of missed- and mis-diagnoses are alarmingly high. The introduction of objective biomarkers, to aid diagnosis, informed by depression's physiological pathology may alleviate some of the burden on strained mental health services. Three minutes of eyes-closed resting state heart rate and skin conductance response (SCR) data were acquired from 27 participants (16 healthy controls, 11 with major depressive disorder (MDD)). Various classifiers were trained on state-of-the-art and novel features. We are aware of no previous studies analysing the utility of multimodal vs. individual modalities for classification. We found no improvement using multimodal classifiers over using heart rate variability (HRV) alone, which achieved 81% test accuracy. The best multimodal and SCR only classifiers were only slightly less accurate at 78%. Despite not improving depression detection, SCR features did show stronger correlation with suicidal ideation than HRV. SD1/SD2 2 is a novel HRV feature proposed in this paper, similar to the commonly used ratio SD1/SD2 but with more marked separation between classes, having the largest Rank Biserial Correlation of all examined features (p-value = 0.002, RBC = -0.73). We recommend further studies in this area.

This work presents a novel and practical real-time switching control policy for the dynamic hard shoulder running lane control on motorways. Using the hard shoulder as a running lane in peak traffic periods increases the motorway capacity at bottlenecks, increasing throughput and avoiding the onset of congestion. The proposed policy enables a smooth switching on of the hard shoulder lane at peak periods. It is based on properties of the fundamental diagram of motorway traffic with easy and unambiguous interpretation and implementation by traffic operators. Simulation analysis on a 5 km-long motorway stretch with three lanes and one hard shoulder lane using the AIMSUN microscopic simulator is demonstrated. The results have showed that the proposed switching control improves the motorway throughput compared to rival control schemes.

Stochastic Model Predictive control (SMPC) for discrete-time linear systems subject to additive disturbances with chance constraints on the states and hard constraints on the inputs is considered. Current chance constrained MPC methods--based on analytic reformulations or on sampling approaches--tend to be conservative partly because they fail to exploit the predefined violation level in closed-loop. For many practical applications, this conservatism can lead to a loss in performance. We propose an adaptive SMPC scheme that starts with a standard conservative chance constrained formulation and then on-line adapts the formulation of constraints based on the experienced violation frequency. Using martingale theory we establish guarantees of convergence to the desired level of constraint violation in closed-loop for a special class of linear systems. Comments are given on how to extend this to a broader class of (non-)linear systems. The developed methodology is demonstrated with an illustrative example.

Realization of an energy-efficient and high-speed dynamic walking has come to be one of the main subjects in the research area of robotic biped locomotion, and passive dynamic walking has been widely attracted as a clue to solve the problem. It has been empirically known that the effect of convex curve shape of foot, which characterizes passive-dynamic walkers, is important to increase walking speed. This paper then investigates the driving mechanism of compasslike biped robots and the rolling effect of semicircular feet are mainly investigated. We first analyze the mechanism of a planar fully-actuated compass-like biped model to clarify the importance of ankle-joint torque introducing generalized virtual gravity concept. In the second, a planar underactuated biped model with semicircular feet is introduced and we show that virtual passive dynamic walking by hip-joint torque only can be realized based on the rolling effect. We then compare with a flat feet model through linear approximation, and show that the rolling effect is equivalent to its virtual ankle-joint torque. Throughout this paper, we provide novel insights into how ZMP-free robots can generate a dynamic bipedal gait.

This paper is dedicated to the stabilization problem of dynamical systems in the presence of variable time-delay in the communication channel which is handled at the discretization stage by means of a guaranteed uncertainty approximation technique. In this context, the proposed stabilization methodology will be based on a Lyapunov-Krasovskii candidate leading finally to Linear Matrix Inequalities formulations for the controller synthesis. The motion synchronization control of two interconnected subsystems linked by a network is considered a possible application of these techniques.

Manipulation tasks are characterized by continuous motion trajectories containing a set of key phases. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic method to autonomously segment the motion trajectories for estimating the key phases embedded in such a task. The autonomous segmentation process relies on principal component analysis to adaptively project into one of the low-dimensional subspaces, in which a Gaussian mixture model is learned based on Bayesian information criterion and expectation-maximization algorithms. The basis skills are estimated by a set of Gaussians approximating quasi-linear key phases, and those times spent calculated from the segmentation points between two consecutive Gaussians representing the local changes of dynamics and directions of the trajectories. The basis skills are then used to build novel motion trajectories with possible motion alternatives and optional parts. After sequentially reorganizing the basis skills, a Gaussian mixture regression process is used to retrieve smooth motion trajectories. Two experiments are presented to demonstrate the capability of the autonomous segmentation approach.
