Successfully achieving bipedal locomotion remains challenging due to real-world factors such as model uncertainty, random disturbances, and imperfect state estimation. In this work, we propose a novel metric for locomotive robustness – the estimated size of the hybrid forward invariant set associated with the step-to-step dynamics. Here, the forward invariant set can be loosely interpreted as the region of attraction for the discrete-time dynamics. We illustrate the use of this metric towards synthesizing nominal walking gaits using a simulation-in-the-loop learning approach. Further, we leverage discrete-time barrier functions and a sampling-based approach to approximate sets that are maximally forward invariant. Lastly, we experimentally demonstrate that this approach results in successful locomotion for both flat-foot walking and multi-contact walking on the Atalante lower-body exoskeleton.

For spacecraft attitude control affected by environmental disturbance, parameter uncertainty and actuator fault, a novel composite active fault-tolerant scheme, combining a strong tracking Cubature Kalman filter (STCKF) with adaptive prescribed performance control (APPC), is investigated in this paper. The proposed STCKF is capable of estimating lumped fault rapidly but accurately, and it is robust to model uncertainty. An adaptive finite-time prescribed performance function (APPF) whose boundaries can be flexibly adjusted in the case of actuator faults is proposed. Then an active fault tolerant controller is designed using nonsingular terminal sliding mode control (NTSMC) in conjunction with APPF. Simulation experiments and comparisons show that the proposed strategy exhibits better fault tolerance, lower conservatism and better steady-state performance.

This paper addresses some of the new challenges posed by scheduling and controlling the production of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells for personalized therapies. In this therapy, the patient’s T cells are genetically modified by adding a gene for a receptor to help T cells attach to the cancer cell antigens. Then, the modified cells are grown and multiplied (called cell expansion) and finally returned to the patient. The production takes place in a manufacturing system that comprises several devices, which are capable of processing cells from multiple patients at the same time. The efficient operation of such a complex system requires a sophisticated control system accompanied by a scheduler to optimize the production of CAR T cells for several patients simultaneously. We propose a scheduling algorithm, which can handle the uncertain duration of cell expansion, and the maximum time lags between consecutive processes simultaneously, a combination hardly studied in the literature. We also describe the main features of an adaptive control system including service-oriented device connections as well as centralized control and monitoring. Finally, we describe how the overall system works, including a JSON based communication between scheduler and control system.

In the shallow sea environment, array of small array elements may not be able to accurately locate targets due to undersampling. To address this issue, the paper proposed a method called sound field extension based on the reception of array of small array elements, which generates a virtual measurement field of a vertical array with lager number. The method utilizes the extended acoustic field for VTRM. This approach significantly improves the focusing and positioning performance of the TRM. The key implementation lies in estimating the normal wave mode coefficients from the acoustic field acquired by the short vertical line array. The paper uses the least squares method to estimate the mode coefficients. Experimental results demonstrate that compared to conventional time processing methods for an array of small array elements, the VTRM method using the a vertical array with a large number of elements can effectively enhance targeting and focusing performance of the short array. For array of small array elements with 21 elements, the SNR (Signal Interference to Noise Ratio) effectively improves by 4.32 dB.

This paper addresses the challenge of actuating millimetre-sized motors, which are wirelessly driven by external magnetic fields. Traditional approaches, relying on rotating magnetic fields, often inadvertently cause the entire robot – especially if it is small and lightweight – to rotate, instead of a specified shaft in the motor. To overcome this issue, our study introduces a novel mechanism that leverages symmetrically configured magnetic motors to cancel out the torques, thus preventing unwanted rotation of the robot. This is achieved by utilizing a magnetic field along a single axis to induce rotational movement. The design features two millimetre-sized rotating magnets that interact to achieve a 90

A proof-of-concept experiment employing this mechanism successfully actuated a gripper in a water tank while it is free-floating, showcasing its potential for enhancing robotic applications at the sub-centimeter scale, where the small net torque of a miniature motor is essential.
