The main objective of this paper is to develop an optimal distributed fault detection (FD) approach for large-scale systems in the presence of unknown deterministic disturbances using the measurement of sensor networks. To be specific, the design approach consists of two phases: the distributed offline training phase and the online implementation phase. The offline training phase includes distributed iterative learning and average consensus algorithm. It is worth mentioning that, the distributed approach avoids enormous computational costs and complex information exchanges. Finally, a numerical example is illustrated to show that the distributed approach can successfully and efficiently accomplish the FD task.

Neural systems are inherently noisy and our perceptual system can be then influenced from time to time. In this paper, we considered a perceptual model perturbed by Lévy colored noise, which is much easier to be satisfied in real-world environments than the general Gaussian noise. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the alternation behaviors induced by noise, we characterized the perceptual dynamics in terms of three statistical measures: the mean dominance duration, the number of alternations and the predominance of each interpretation. Numerical simulations showed that the stability index as well as the scale factor and the correlation time of the noise can lead to distinct changes in these measures. Then, attention was paid to data-driven parameter estimation which has typically received less attention than the exploration of stochastic behaviors. A distinctive neural network was proposed to give rise to joint estimates of system parameters and noise parameters, which can also give the measurement to describe the accuracy of estimation. The good performances of our method are shown by simulation tests.

Rehabilitation robots play an important role in the motor function rehabilitation for stroke survivors with hemiplegia. However, the rehabilitation effect of current robots is still limited partly because a single training of motor function can be strongly affected by the decreased blood supply function of the bedridden patients. This work proposed an approach to study the coupling relationship between the motor and blood supply functions by combining the synchronously recorded EEG and cerebral blood oxygen information, where the cerebrations in different movement paradigms were analyzed from an aspect of "functional coupling". The results show that the information of oxyhemoglobin concentration change (ΔHbO) can effectively indicate the cortex activation, and a stronger blood supply is needed in cortexes to perform body movements. The correlations within motor cortexes are significantly stronger than the ones between motor and prefrontal cortexes, and a higher resistance level of extremity training will cause stronger correlations. Calculation of transfer entropy (TE) shows that there exists a bidirectional information transmission between the electrophysiological and blood supply signals, and more information is transmitted always in the direction from ΔHbO to EEG than in the opposite direction. The information transmission or the coupling relationship can be significantly enhanced by extremity movements, and large TE values are achieved in the Theta, Beta and Gamma frequency bands of EEG that correspond to motor functions. This work has demonstrated the functional coupling between nerve and blood microcirculation, which would provide a technical guidance to improve the rehabilitation effect for current robot systems and have great application potentials.

Gait planning of quadruped robots plays an important role in achieving less walking, including dynamic and static gait. In this article, a static and dynamic gait control method based on center of gravity stability margin is proposed. Firstly, the robot model and kinematics modeling are introduced. Secondly, the robot’s foot static and dynamic gait were planned and the foot trajectory was designed. Finally, two types of gait of the robot were simulated using Vrep simulation software, and the differences in stability and speed between the coordinated gait with speed and stability in the static and dynamic gait of a 12 degree of freedom robot were analyzed, verifying the effectiveness of the gait control method proposed in this paper.

This paper studies efficient algorithms for dynamic curing policies and the corresponding network design problems to guarantee fast extinction of epidemic spread in a Markov process-based susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) model. We provide a computationally efficient curing algorithm based on the curing policy proposed by Drakopoulos, Ozdaglar, and Tsitsiklis (2014). Since the corresponding optimization problem is NP-hard, finding optimal policies is intractable for large graphs. We provide approximation guarantees on the curing budget of the proposed dynamic curing algorithm. To avoid the waiting period included in the original curing policy, we study network design problems to reduce the total infection rate by deleting edges or reducing the weight of edges. To this end, we provide algorithms with provable guarantees. In summary, the proposed curing and network design algorithms together provide an effective and computationally efficient approach that mitigates SIS epidemic spread in networks.

Background and objective: Risk prediction models aim at identifyingpeople at higher risk of developing a target disease. Feature selection is particularly important to improve the prediction model performance avoiding overfitting and to identify the leading cancer risk (and protective) factors. Assessing the stability of feature selection/ranking algorithms becomes an important issue when the aim is to analyze the features with more prediction power. Methods: This work is focused on colorectal cancer, assessing several feature ranking algorithms in terms of performance for a set of risk prediction models (Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Logistic Regression, k-Nearest Neighbors and Boosted Trees). Additionally, their robustness is evaluated following a conventional approach with scalar stability metrics and a visual approach proposed in this work to study both similarity among feature ranking techniques as well as their individual stability. A comparative analysis is carried out between the most relevant features found out in this study and features provided by the experts according to the state-of-the-art knowledge. Results: The two best performance results in terms of Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) are achieved with a SVM classifier using the top-41 features selected by the SVM wrapper approach (AUC=0.693) and Logistic Regression with the top-40 features selected by the Pearson (AUC=0.689). Experiments showed that performing feature selection contributes to classification performance with a 3.9% and 1.9% improvement in AUC for the SVM and Logistic Regression classifier, respectively, with respect to the results using the full feature set. The visual approach proposed in this work allows to see that the Neural Network-based wrapper ranking is the most unstable while the Random Forest is the most stable. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that stability and model performance should be studied jointly as Random Forest turned out to be the most stable
