An upper limb robotic exoskeleton of three degrees of freedom (DOF) is designed for the patients who survived stroke and the elderly who have not enough strength to move their limbs freely. Particular attention is paid to the realization of a intention-driven robotic control approach, by which the robotic exoskeleton can assist the user moving his/her arm freely to where he/she intends to go. A force sensing system made of multiple force sensing resisters (FSRs) is embedded in the robotic exoskeleton. A static force model of the upper limb in a relaxed state is obtained when the user wears the exoskeleton. A hybrid model is proposed to describe the behavior modes of human upper limb motion. Filtering technology is designed to infer the intended moving direction of upper limb based on the measured force information and the static force model. The motion intention of user's upper limb can be online estimated using the filter and a mode transition detector. Guided by the inferred intention, an admittance control strategy is assumed to control the motors of each DOF. The effectiveness of proposed robotic system and control approaches is evaluated by experiments.

The paper presents a foot pressure measuring system connected with EEG It can quantify the relationship between human gait cycle and EEG signals. Understanding the relationship will help in the prevention of potential motor dysfunction disease and the development of rehabilitation tools. The whole system is composed of three parts: EEG signal acquisition, foot landing signal acquisition and the synchronization of these two signals. EEG signal can be acquired by Neuroscan EEG system. The plantar pressure measuring system (PPMS) is designed in details. With PVDF piezoelectric film sensor insole, PPMS could measure the plantar pressure precisely, and send a TTL signal as a mark to EEG system synchronously with EEG signal when the foot contacts the ground at beginning of each gait cycle. The experiment results shows that EEG signals are in line with human gait cycle on dynamic response. From that, some potential diseases can be predict, such as dyskinesia, peripheral neuropathy, neurological disorder, musculoskeletal disease and so on. It can also be used to monitor improvements in rehabilitation.

Looking for small universal computing devices is a natural and well investigated topic in computer science. Recently, this topic started to be considered also in the framework of (synchronized) spiking neural P systems. In this work, it is focused on small universal spiking neural P systems working in a non-synchronized manner. Specifically, it is proved that there is an asynchronous spiking neural P system with 76 neurons that is equivalent to a universal register machine for computing functions. As generator of sets of numbers, a universal asynchronous spiking neural P system with 75 neurons is constructed.
In this paper, an improved formulation of optimal guidance law (OGL) based on genetic algorithms (GAs) is proposed. Linear quadratic optimal control theory is derived to consider terminal velocity maximisation, also G...

Robotic-assisted therapy is of benefit to the recovery of upper limb motor function for the patients survived stoke. Whereas, there are few emphases on the patients' motion intention during the rehabilitation process. The goal of this study is to combine the control strategies based on patients' motion intention with an upper limb rehabilitation robot to improve the recovery for the patients. In this paper, we propose an integrated robot-assist rehabilitation system, in which a 3 degree-of-freedom (DOF) exoskeletal rehabilitation robot, an EMG-based intention recognition module and a VR game environment are seamlessly combined. According toharacteristics of EMG signals, the wavelet package analysis approach is applied to extract the features of EMG. The node energy is used to construct the feature vector instead of the original coefficients of wavelet package decomposition to resolve the time-invariance problem. Then feature projection results in the singularity problem of with-in scatter matrix during the feature dimension reduction. To overcome the disadvantage of the with-in scatter matrix, this paper uses a recursive algorithm which is proposed in our previous work. The reduced feature vector is recognized by a neural network classifier and the output of the classifier is used for the control inputs. Preliminary experiments are also performed to implement the control of the rehabilitation robotic system by using the proposed EMG reorganization method, together with a dart game realized in the virtual reality environment. Experimental results show that the performance of motion intention recognition is satisfactory and the entire integrated system is feasible.

The look-ahead is a forbidding condition formalized by a set of forbidden rules that are checked after all assignment of objects to rules are done. The look-ahead mode can decrease the inherent non-determinism of P systems and helps to the practical implementation of P systems on computers. In this work, the computational power of P systems with symport/antiport rules working in the look-ahead mode are investigated. Communication P systems with 3 membranes and the weight of symport and antiport rules being 2 and 1, respectively, working in the look-ahead mode, can recognize any recursively enumerable languages; a characterization of context-sensitive languages is obtained by communication P systems with 2 membranes working in the look-ahead mode.

This paper presents a robust tracking algorithm for infrared objects in the image sequence, which is based on particle filer. Particle filter is a powerful tool for tracking especially in non-Gaussian condition, but the selection of samples is still a challenging problem. According to the frame-to-frame correlation, two basic assumptions are proposed. Borrowing the idea from Sequence Importance Sampling, Monte-Carlo method will be applied to solve the well-known shortcomings of Particle filter in this paper. Technologically, the proposed algorithm could also track multiple objects successfully. The experimental result has demonstrated its feasibility and validity.

Conventional pulse compression use a periodical echo of single receive antenna, which is modulated by a certain carrier-frequency, in other words, single spectrum is exploited. But for MIMO radar, as the multi-carrier-frequency signals are transmitted simultaneously, if the spectrum of the target echo after channel separation can be combined to form the whole band spectrum echo, the corresponding range resolution can improve several times as compared with the conventional method, and it will be more convenient for follow-up detection and tracking. Considering the difference between the frequency modulation band and the interval between the adjacent frequencies, the spectrum joint after channel separation will be overlapped or spaced. The methods of spectrum moving of each echo and the spectrum extrapolation with Root-MUSIC algorithm are proposed, by which high-resolution range profile of the target is obtained. Simulation results verify the validity of these methods.
