The paper focuses on the design of a control system for an operator with Parkinson's diseases driving an electric vehicle. The fractional order model of a person with Parkinson’s disease is discussed. The fractional model is extended to the dynamics of an electric car operated by a person with disabilities. The associated mathematical models are analyzed, insisting on the influence of dead times on driving performance. The effects generated by dead times on the visual perception of motion parameters as well as dead times on the generation of a control decision are discussed, times determined by the incapacity of the operator affected by Parkinson's disease. Methods for approximating the dead time dynamics are proposed and the stability of the human-machine system is investigated, as a hierarchical system, using vector Lyapunov techniques. The theoretical results are verified by numerical simulation.

Understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and gastrointestinal (GI) diseases through longitudinal analysis is vital for advancing diagnosis and treatment methods. To achieve this, ingestible devices capable of multipoint gut microbiota sampling are necessary. Conventional devices move passively through the GI tract, relying on physiological factors and are unable to perform multipoint sampling. This study introduces a novel magnetically actuated capsule robot designed to collect gut microbiota from various GI tract locations while minimizing cross-contamination. The capsule includes a body, a driving unit, six sampling tools, a central rod, and two heads. It uses electromagnetic field control for precise orientation and position of the capsule, ensuring the sampling channel faces downward for accurate collection. The capsule can collect six distinct microbiota samples, protecting the tools from contamination throughout the process. Its active locomotion and sampling capabilities were tested through ex-vivo tests. The feasibility of clinical application was demonstrated in preclinical trials using a porcine model, confirming the capsule's potential for integration and use in medical settings.

Recent research on quadruped robots has been achieving high-performance motion control based on optimization and reinforcement learning (RL). However, there is still ongoing research aimed at demonstrating that implementing high-performance motion based on simple and dominant dynamic principles is possible. In this paper, we proposed a novel control approach that projects Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) dynamics to articulated legs, utilizing admittance control based force observer within a rotating workspace (RWFOB). Unlike other legged robots that depend on sensor-based estimation of external forces, the proposed method presents an alternative approach that reduces the reliance on sensors. Additionally, we introduce a comprehensive control framework for quadruped robot motion control, establishing the connection between trunk and SLIP-realized leg movements using Jacobian. Through comparative analysis with Virtual Model Control (VMC) in simulations, we illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework as a robust and reliable trunk feedback controller.
