ABSTRACTBrain-computer Interfaces (BCIs) can provide a non-muscular communication channel for individuals with motor impairments. When integrated with virtual reality (VR) and haptic feedback, motor imagery (MI)-based BCIs can augment the rehabilitation outcome for patients with severe motor impairments. However, the physiological impact of these protocols beyond brain-related signals, that reflect autonomic nervous system (ANS) activity, remains underexplored. This study aims to investigate variations in a broader range of physiological signals besides electroencephalography (EEG) – including electrocardiography (ECG), photoplethysmography (PPG), and respiration – across different experimental conditions and to identify the factors driving these changes. 19 healthy subjects underwent MI training across five combinations of feedback conditions: abstract vs. realistic feedback, head-mounted display (HMD) vs. monitor, and the presence or absence of haptic feedback, compared with motor execution data. PPG results were compared with ECG results to assess the reliability of the finger-clip PPG sensor regarding its ability to replace ECG in cases where ease of use and unobtrusiveness in heart monitoring are required. Current findings show that VR-based MI with haptic feedback, results in increased modulation of Beta and Gamma bands, while all conditions may impose a greater mental burden than motor execution, as indicated by the increased respiration rate and decreased heart-rate variability.

This paper demonstrates dexterity optimization of a Deltalike three degrees of freedom (3 DOF) spatial parallel manipulator. The parallel manipulator consists of three identical chains and is able to move on all three translational axes. In order to optimize the manipulator in term of dexterity, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) global search method was applied. This algorithm aims to propose the best design parameters such as the length of the links which results in a better dexterity. Results of the optimization are presented. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2014.

Worldwide electric motor market is moving towards Premium/IE3, Super-Premium/IE4 and Ultra-Premium/IE5 efficiency classes. Therefore, motor manufacturers are constantly improving the overall design of three-phase asynchronous and synchronous motors and all the details with impact in the losses count, even if, individually, they just lead to efficiency gains of a fraction of a percentage point. In industry, most of the self-ventilated motors are driving unidirectional applications, such as fans, pumps, and compressors, and, therefore, the replacement of the typical bidirectional centrifugal fans of the external cooling system with a unidirectional axial fan may lead to a decrease in the acoustic noise and to a gain in the overall motor efficiency. In this paper, numerical simulations and experimental tests of different designs of axial fans and the respective comparison with the traditional centrifugal fans are presented. The tested axial fan prototypes were printed in plastic using a 3D printer. One of the novel axial fan designs led to a slight gain in the motor efficiency, maintaining the same operating temperature. That axial fan can be further optimized in order to require less power, have a better dynamic airflow, and produce less acoustic noise. © 2017 IEEE.

In this paper we present a multistage method applied in pedestrian detection using information from a LIDAR and a monocular-camera mounted on an electric vehicle driving in urban scenarios. The proposed method is a cascade of classifiers trained in two subsets of features, one with laser-based features and the other with a set of image-based features. A specific training approach was developed to adjust the cascade stages in order to enhance the classification performance. The proposed method differs from the conventional cascade regarding the way the selected samples are propagated through the cascade. Thus, the subsequent stages of the proposed cascade receive both negatives and positives from previous ones, relying on a decision margin process. Experiments were conducted in off-line mode, for a set of single component classifiers and for the proposed cascade technique. The results are compared in terms of classification performance metrics and ROC curves. ©2010 IEEE.

In this paper we propose a probabilistic model to parameterize human interactive behaviour from human motion. To Support the model taxonomy, we use Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), proposed by Rudolph Laban [11], to characterize human non-verbal communication. In interpersonal communication, body motion carries a lot of meaningful information, useful to analyse group dynamic behaviors in a wide range of social scenarios (e.g. behaviour analysis of human interpersonal activities and surveillance system). Taking the advantage of interpretation of social signals defined by Alex Pentland [19], and the descriptive body movement analysis proposed by Laban, we identified characteristics allowing both works to complement each other. To explore in group dynamics, we attempt to show the existent connections between Pentland's descriptions for Interpersonal Behaviours (IBs), and LMA parameters for human body part motions. Those relations are the keys to characterize the interpersonal communication. Given the uncertainty of the phenomenon, Bayesian's methodology is applied. The results present LMA parameters as reliable indicators for IBs, allowing us to generalize the model. © 2012 IEEE.

Reliable detection and classification of vulnerable road users constitute a critical issue on safety/protection systems for intelligent vehicles driving in urban zones. In this subject, most of the perception systems have LIDAR and/or Radar as primary detection modules and vision-based systems for object classification. This work, on the other hand, presents a valuable analysis of pedestrian detection in urban scenario using exclusively LIDAR-based features. The aim is to explore how much information can be extracted from LIDAR sensors for pedestrian detection. Moreover, this study will be useful to compose multi-sensor based pedestrian detection systems using not only LIDAR but also vision sensors. Experimental results using our data set and a detailed classification performance analysis are presented, with comparisons among various classification techniques. © 2009 IEEE.

Hybrid control strategy for the autonomous transition flight of a fixed-wing aircraft

This paper develops a hybrid control strategy that provides autonomous transition between hovered and leveled flights to a model-scale fixed-wing aircraft. The aircraft's closed-loop dynamics are described by means of a hybrid automaton with the hover, transition, level, and recovery operating modes, each one corresponding to a different region of the flight envelope. Linear parameter varying control techniques are employed in hover and level, providing robust local stabilization, and a nonlinear locally input-to-state stable controller provides practical reference tracking to the transition operating mode. These controllers, together with an appropriate choice of reference maneuvers, ensure that a transition from hovered flight to level flight, or vice versa, is achieved. Whenever the aircraft state reaches unexpected values, the recovery controller is triggered in order to drive the aircraft toward stable hovered flight, providing a chance to retry the transition maneuver. The controllers' performance and robustness is assessed within a realistic simulation environment in the presence of sensor noise. © 2013 IEEE.

In recent years, there has been a tendency for people to resort to a more sedentary lifestyle, which has only been aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the evermore common remote work policies. This lack of physical activity brings negative health outcomes and can generally be difficult to overcome due to how challenging it can be for a person to find the motivation to adopt a more physically active routine. To address this issue, we propose the use of serious games as an engaging, fun, and highly motivational tool that can aid people in their quest for a healthier lifestyle. We focus on three problem areas: motor control improvement and rehabilitation, post-stroke rehabilitation, and physical activity for general health. There exist multiple solutions for these problems which often require specific equipment that may not be available to the common user. Therefore, we propose a different approach requiring solely a laptop equipped with a camera, thus making it more practical and accessible to the wider public. © 2023 IEEE.

This paper proposes a new approach for the Power Spectrum (PS)-based feature extraction applied to probabilistic Laban Movement Analysis (LMA), for the sake of human behaviour understanding. A Bayesian network is presented to understand human action and behaviour based on 3D spatial data and using the LMA concept which is a known human movement descriptor. We have two steps for the classification process. The first step is estimating LMA parameters which are built to describe human motion situation by using some low level features. Then by having these parameters, it is possible to classify different human actions and behaviours. Here, a sample of using 3D acceleration data of six body parts to obtain some LMA parameters and understand some performed actions by human is shown. A new approach is applied to extract features from a signal data such as acceleration using the PS technique to achieve some of LMA parameters. A number of actions are defined, then a Bayesian network is used in learning and classification process. The experimental results prove that the proposed method is able to classify actions.

This article explores the topic involving children with autism, referencing what this condition is about, as well as the hypotheses for approaching the problem based on the literature reviewed. The proposed approach involves the creation of an adequate space with an immersive interactive system based on musical stimuli, and physical exercise to improve their communication, memory, visual and motor capabilities, and eventually potentiate the development of artistic skills. The development of this interactive system includes the development of an avatar that will be animated using Motion Capture technology, so it can interact with the child and accompany him/her while doing the exercises with fluid movements. © 2023 IEEE.
