Computer Based Training System for Marine Propulsion System

Computer-based training system for cataract surgery

This paper describes a single simulation framework to perform interactive cataract surgery simulations. Contributions includes advanced bio-mechanical models and intensive use of modern graphics hardware to provide fast computation times. Surgical devices are replicated and located in a real-time thanks to infrared tracking. Combination of a high-fidelity simulation and actual surgical tools ar...

Validation of a Biofeedback System for Wheelchair Propulsion Training

This paper describes the design and validation of the OptiPush Biofeedback System, a commercially available, instrumented wheel system that records handrim biomechanics and provides stroke-by-stroke biofeedback and targeting for 11 propulsion variables. Testing of the system revealed accurate measurement of wheel angle (0.02% error), wheel speed (0.06% error), and handrim loads. The maximum err...

MuTil – A Computer Based Training System for Apprentice

By creating (semi-)autonomous group structures in enterprises the work content of the workers changes. Workers are confronted with new working which are enriched by new technologies. Existing training tools for apprentices do not present the interaction between different tasks within a workshop. MuTil will implement a scenario with a complex combination of problems typically appearing in a work...

Design Methodology Based on H∞ Control Theory for Marine Propulsion System with Bumpless Transfer Function

In this paper we propose a control system design methodology which has two main objectives: the first one is to achieve control system specifications for a local H∞ controller designed for a given operation condition, and the second objective is to provide a procedure for bumpless transfer (BLT) when the controller is switched to another one, due to change in the operation condition, or when th...
