Fuzzy Motion Control for Wheeled Mobile Robots in Real-Time

Due to various advantages of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs), many researchers have focused to solve their challenges. The automatic motion control of such robots is an attractive problem and is one of the issues which should carefully be examined. In the current paper, the trajectory tracking problem of WMRs which are actuated by two independent electrical motors is deliberated. To this end, and ...

Poststroke Hemiplegic Patients

Background and Purpose: Rehabilitation therapy is believed to be useful during the first few months after stroke when recovery usually takes place. However, evidence exists that this may not be the rule for all stroke victims. Therefore, we investigated, in a selected group of poststroke patients, the profile of recovery in response to long-term rehabilitation therapy. Methods: Fifty-one hemipl...

Motion estimation for gait rehabilitation of hemiplegic patients using principal components analysis

In gait rehabilitation of hemiplegic patients by means of a robotic orthosis, a major challenge resides in cooperative control. The patient should not simply be moved, but rather be assisted in his motions. Ideally, the controller should thus detect the patient's intention and actuate his paretic limbs coordinately. Recently, good results have been achieved with impedance control, which gives t...
