An exoskeleton with actuators at the hip and knee joints has been developed for spinal cord injury patients. And a pair of crutches is utilized to help paraplegic patients maintain balance during walking. A real time gait planning strategy has been implemented to allow the users to walk stable and natural. This strategy models the human-machine coupling system as a quadruped robot, adjusts and corrects gait before each step according to real time responses of multiple sensors. Taking into account the kinematic model of people wielding crutches, this gait planning strategy provides a larger stability margin for the system. Finally, experiments are performed on the SIAT exoskeleton in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In most model-free tracking algorithms, context of the target is usually taken as source of negative examples for training the appearance model and thus not fully utilized. In fact, the target is embedded in its context, and there are spatial constraints between them with the potential motion correlations and relative locations. This paper presents a part-based model to describe the spatial constraints between the target object and its context. Auxiliary objects are selected as parts of the part based model to represent the context information. These auxiliary objects should have some properties: (i) co-occurrence with the target, (ii) having distinct appearance, and (iii) having homogeneous motion as an invisible visual region. A template-based model concerning about the object appearance is implemented to help estimate the reliability of tracking and make the part-based model updated properly. We test the proposed method on a recent benchmark with 50 video sequences evaluated, and a superior performance is achieved compared with state-of-the-arts.

Recently, the UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) receives more and more attention from the public with the application in deep space exploration, national defense, and riot relief. Moreover, how to describe the driving environment of UGV with the sensor data objectively and share these data with other UGV efficiently becomes the focus of the research of the UGV. To solve the above problems, a novel GIS platform for UGV application in the unknown environment is proposed in this paper based on the features of UGV. First, the GIS database is redesigned and the properties such as road width, lane number, lane info, and if_traffic are proposed. The data structure of the database is redesigned to fit the need of UGV to describe the environment simply and explicitly. Then a two-line road model is proposed to model the feature of the road network clearly. This model can meet the driving need of UGV and represent the traffic rules of the urban environment. Moreover, the turning path in the intersection is designed to be an arc instead of a right angle path considering the dynamic features of UGV. Finally a cost map for navigating the UGV locally is generated with the road model and the environment information from the sensors. The GIS platform designed in this paper proves to be able to offer guidance and help to UGV for driving through the unknown environment wisely and quickly without human intervention. And it shows promising application of sharing data with other UGV efficiently by using cost map instead of the original sensor data.

This paper addresses the robust semi-global coordinated tracking problem of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with input saturation and communication noise. A distributed observer-based coordinated tracking protocol is constructed by combining a novel parameterized low-and-high feedback technique with the high-gain observers design approach. It is shown that, under the assumptions that each agent is asymptotically null-controllable with bounded controls and the network is connected, semi-global consensus tracking or semi-global swarm tracking can be attained for left-invertible and minimal-phase systems.

In order to help spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to walk again, a medical robot exoskeleton have been developed to assist these patients to walk independently in SIAT, Shenzhen. The robot has an under-drive control structure. The wearer can maintain balance and shift his (her) body weight with the aid of a pair of crutches. On this robot we have implemented a four-legged gait planning method. Through analysis of normal gait, modifications have been made so that the gait of the robot can serve a SCI patient well. A paraplegic patient acted as a volunteer has involved in the experiments. The results of experiments illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed gait planning method.
