Design of a hydraulic ankle-foot orthosis
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
This paper presents the design and simulation of an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) to assist human walking. Design requirements were established based on a quantitative study of published data, simulations of human walking, and ...
Embedding of nonlinear systems in a linear parameter-varying representation
(
IFAC Secretariat
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
This paper introduces a systematic approach to synthesize linear parameter-varying (LPV) representations of nonlinear (NL) systems which are originally defined by control affine state-space representations. The conversion ...
The characterization of the kinematic and dynamic properties of the ankle joint for an artificial ankle joint design
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
The kinematic and dynamic properties of the ankle joint (talocrural region) in normal subjects provide important information for the design of rehabilitation robots, below-knee prostheses, ankle-foot orthoses, and exoskeletons. ...
A kernel-based approach to MIMO LPV state-space identification and application to a nonlinear process system
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
This paper first describes the development of a nonparametric identification method for linear parameter-varying (LPV) state-space models and then applies it to a nonlinear process system. The proposed method uses kernel-based ...
Forecasting the health of gas turbine components through an integrated performance-based approach
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2016 , Conference Paper)
In this study, we present an integrated method for detecting and forecasting the health of gas turbine components as degraded over time. An advanced model-based real time performance adaptation approach is developed for ...
Fault Tolerant Control of Multiple Mobile Robots
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Recently, usage of autonomous wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) is significantly increased in different industries such as manufacturing, health care and military and there exist stringent requirements for their safe and reliable ...
Closed-loop control of anesthesia and mean arterial pressure using reinforcement learning
(
IEEE
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
General anesthesia is required for patients undergoing surgery as well as for some patients in the intensive care units with acute respiratory distress syndrome. How-ever, most anesthetics affect cardiac and respiratory ...
A Nonovershooting Controller with Integral Action for Multi-input Multi-output Drug Dosing Control ?
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a nonovershooting tracking controller is proposed for the continuous infusion of multiple drugs that have interactive effects. The proposed controller design method exploits the freedom of eigenstructure ...
Design and implementation of autonomous surface vehicle
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
© 2018 IEEE. This paper explores the design and implementation of an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) at Qatar University which includes mechanical design, image processing, control and navigation, and power management. A ...
Fault tolerant control of differential drive mobile robots using sliding mode controller
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2017 , Conference Paper)
An actuator fault tolerant controller for differential drive mobile robots is proposed using the sliding surface scheme for a loss of effectiveness (LOE) actuator fault. It is shown that an LOE actuator fault can be modeled ...
