Currently the increasing number of robotic devices for application in the mobility of people who had suffered some type of spinal cord injury, it is necessary to develop new equipment more adaptable, safe and efficient. Robotic devices that aid in locomotion of paraplegic people can play their function, they must be able to reproduce the lost movements with most of fidelity and security. This paper presents a prototype of an active orthosis for lower limbs developed by the robotic and dedicated systems group of department of computingengineering and automation (DCA/UFRN) named Ortholeg. The proposed orthosis is an orthopedic device with the main objective of providing walking capacity to people with partial or total loss of limbs movements. The orthosis was projected to reproduce the movements of human gait. The movements of the joints of the orthosis are controlled by DC motors equipped with mechanical reductions, whose purpose is to reduce rotational speed and increase the torque, thus generating smooth movements. An embedded electronic system for sensory data acquisition and motor control was projected.

This paper is concerned with the problem of H ∞ model reduction for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy stochastic systems. For a given mean-square stable T-S fuzzy stochastic system, our attention is focused on the construction of a reduced-order model, which not only approximates the original system well with an H ∞ performance but also translates it into a linear lower dimensional system. Then, the model reduction is converted into a convex optimization problem by using a linearization procedure, and a projection approach is also presented, which casts the model reduction into a sequential minimization problem subject to linear matrix inequality constraints by employing the cone complementary linearization algorithm. Finally, two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods.

In this paper, we propose a method for designing continuous gain-scheduled robust H_∞ observer on a class of extended stochastic nonlinear systems subject to time delay and actuator saturation. Initially, gradient linearization procedure is applied to describe such extended nonlinear systems into several model-based linear systems. Next, a robust linear H_∞ observer is designed to such linear stochastic models. Subsequently, a convex hull set is investigated and sufficient condition is derived in terms of feedback observer to determine whether a given initial condition belongs to an ellipsoid invariant set. Finally, continuous gain-scheduled approach is employed to design continuous nonlinear observers on the entire extended nonlinear jump system. A simulation example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of developed techniques.

This paper presents a strategy for an attitude and altitude control of a fully autonomous quad rotor helicopter. The hardware and software architecture of the proposed system is based on master-slave paradigm, where the master device is an embedded PC allowing high degree of autonomy. This paper focuses on the low level stabilization control. The stabilization approach is based on a transformation of the input variables of the system to perform a decoupled control. Experimental results of attitude and altitude control of the quad rotor prototype are shown.

This paper is concerned with the finite-horizon recursive filtering problem for a class of nonlinear time-varying systems with missing measurements. The missing measurements are modeled by a series of mutually independent random variables obeying Bernoulli distributions with possibly different occurrence probabilities. Attention is focused on the design of a recursive filter such that, for the missing measurements, an upper bound for the filtering error covariance is guaranteed and such an upper bound is subsequently minimized by properly designing the filter parameters at each sampling instant. The desired filter parameters are obtained by solving two Riccati-like difference equations that are of a recursive form suitable for online applications. A simulation example is exploited to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed filter design scheme.
