Reliable and real-time 3D reconstruction and localization functionality is a crucial prerequisite for the navigation of actively controlled capsule endoscopic robots as an emerging, minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic technology for use in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. In this study, we propose a fully dense, non-rigidly deformable, strictly realtime, intraoperative map fusion approach for actively controlled endoscopic capsule robot applications which combines magnetic and vision-based localization, with non-rigid deformations based frame-to-model map fusion. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated using four different ex-vivo porcine stomach models. Across different trajectories of varying speed and complexity, and four different endoscopic cameras, the root mean square surface reconstruction errors 1.58 to 2.17 cm.

We present a detailed set of performance comparisons of two state-of-the-art solvers for the application of designing time-delay compensators, an important problem in the field of robust control. Formulating such robust control mechanics as constrained optimization problems often involves objective and constraint functions that are both nonconvex and nonsmooth, both of which present significant challenges to many solvers and their end-users hoping to obtain good solutions to these problems. In our particular engineering task, the main difficulty in the optimization arises in a nonsmooth and nonconvex stability constraint, which states that the infinite spectrum of zeros of the so-called shaper should remain in the open left half-plane. To perform our evaluation, we make use β-relative minimization profiles, recently introduced visualization tools that are particularly suited for benchmarking solvers on nonsmooth, nonconvex, constrained optimization problems. Furthermore, we also introduce new visualization tools, called Global-Local Profiles, which for a given problem and a fixed computational budget, assess the tradeoffs of distributing the budget over few or many starting points, with the former getting more budget per point and latter less.

Carnatic Music, a form of classical music prevalent in South India, has a central concept called rāgas, defined as melodic scales and/or a set of characteristic melodic phrases. These definitions also account for the continuous pitch movement in gamakas and micro-tonal adjustments to pitch values. In this paper, we present several statistics of gamakas to arrive at a model of Carnatic music. We draw upon the two-component model of Carnatic Music, which splits it into a slowly varying 'stage' and a detail, called 'dance'. Based on the statistics, we propose slightly altered definitions of two similar components called constant-pitch notes and transients. An automated implementation of these definitions is used in collecting statistics from 84 concert renditions. We then suggest that the constant-pitch notes and transients can be considered as context and detail respectively of the rāga, but add that both are necessary for defining the rāga. This is verified by performing listening tests on only the constant-pitch notes and transients independently. © 2019 Venkata Subramanian Viraraghavan, R Aravind, Hema A Murthy.

With biodiversity loss escalating globally, a step change is needed in our capacity to accurately monitor species populations across ecosystems. Robotic and autonomous systems (RAS) offer technological solutions that may substantially advance terrestrial biodiversity monitoring, but this potential is yet to be considered systematically. We used a modified Delphi technique to synthesize knowledge from 98 biodiversity experts and 31 RAS experts, who identified the major methodological barriers that currently hinder monitoring, and explored the opportunities and challenges that RAS offer in overcoming these barriers. Biodiversity experts identified four barrier categories: site access, species and individual identification, data handling and storage, and power and network availability. robotics experts highlighted technologies that could overcome these barriers and identified the developments needed to facilitate RAS-based autonomous biodiversity monitoring. Some existing RAS could be optimized relatively easily to survey species but would require development to be suitable for monitoring of more 'difficult' taxa and robust enough to work under uncontrolled conditions within ecosystems. Other nascent technologies (for instance, new sensors and biodegradable robots) need accelerated research. Overall, it was felt that RAS could lead to major progress in monitoring of terrestrial biodiversity by supplementing rather than supplanting existing methods. Transdisciplinarity needs to be fostered between biodiversity and RAS experts so that future ideas and technologies can be codeveloped effectively.

The cultivation of Escherichia coli bacteria is widely used by geneticists and biopharmaceuticals to produce medicines and vaccines. In such industries, Bioprocesses are known by their harsh environment and very expensive physical sensors. This paper deals with nonlinear estimation and control of fed-batch Escherichia coli bioprocess. Enhancing the process performance and maximizing its efficiency by optimizing the control of Escherichia coli cultures depends on the availability of appropriate online sensors for the main culture components. In this study, an innovative method for nonlinear estimation and control of bioprocesses is designed and assessed. The new algorithm for control and estimation of Escherichia coli bioprocess states, based on the State-Dependent Riccati Equation technique, is validated by numerical simulation. The results obtained clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique for Biosystems in measuring, monitoring, and control of their natural nonlinear dynamics. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2017.

Uniform complete observability and controllability are key concepts for the design of state observers and controllers for linear time-varying systems. While the definitions of these properties are simple, it is more often that not very difficult to show they hold for a particular system. This paper presents alternative simpler sufficient conditions. Examples are shown that illustrate the improvement over previous results, the fact that the new conditions are not necessary, and a practical application. © 2017

Body weight support (BWS) is a fundamental technique in rehabilitation. Along with the dramatic progressing of rehabilitation science and engineering, BWS is quickly evolving with new initiatives and has attracted deep research effort in recent years. We have built up a novel gravity offloading system, in which the patient is allowed to move freely in the three-dimensional Cartesian space and receives support against gravity. Thus, the patients, especially for those that suffer from neurological injury such as stroke or spinal cord injury, can focus their residual motor control capabilities on essential therapeutic trainings of balance and gait. The realtime force control performance is critical for the BWS unit to provide suitable support and avoid disturbance. In this work, we have re-designed our BWS unit with a series elastic actuation structure to improve the human-robot interaction performance. Further, the 2 degrees of freedom (2-DOF) control approach was taken for accurate and robust BWS force control. Both simulation and experimental results have validated the efficacy of the BWS design and real-time control methods. Copyright © 2018, The Authors. All rights reserved.
