Correlating Grip Force Signals from Multiple Sensors Highlights Prehensile Control Strategies in a Complex Task-User System

Robot control system using SMR signals detection

One of the important issues in designing a brain-computer interface system is to select the type of mental activity to be imagined. In some of these systems, mental activity varies with user intent and action that must be controlled by the brain-computer system, and in a number of other signals, the received signals contain the same activity-related mental activity that should be performed by t...

Force tracking system for the assessment of grip force control in patients with neuromuscular diseases.

BACKGROUND The majority of hand functionality assessment methods consist of the maximal voluntary grip force measurement. Additional knowledge on sensory-motor control can be obtained by capturing functional grip force in a time frame. Tracking methods have been successfully used for the assessment of grip force control in stroke patients and patients with Parkinson's disease. METHODS A novel...

Don'T let it slip: predictive control of grip force after changes in task goals.

Task Assignment Strategies for a Complex Real-time Network System

In this paper, a study on task assignment strategies for a complex real-time network system is presented. Firstly, two task assignment strategies are proposed to improve previous strategies. The proposed strategies assign tasks with meeting end-to-end real-time constraints, and also with optimizing system utilization through period modulation of the tasks. Consequently, the strategies aim at th...

Intelligent Health Evaluation Method of Slewing Bearing Adopting Multiple Types of Signals from Monitoring System

Slewing bearing, which is widely applied in tank, excavator and wind turbine, is a critical component of rotational machine. Standard procedure for bearing life calculation and condition assessment was established in general rolling bearings, nevertheless, relatively less literatures, in regard to the health condition assessment of slewing bearing, were published in past. Real time health condi...
