Motion Tracking System for Robust Non-Contact Blood Perfusion Sensor

Motion Tracking System for Robust Non-Contact Blood Perfusion Sensor

We propose a motion-robust laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) system that can be used as a non-contact blood perfusion sensor for medical diagnosis. Endoscopic LDF systems are typically limited in their usefulness in clinical contexts by the need for the natural organs to be immobilized, as serious motion artifacts due to the axial surface displacement can interfere with blood perfusion measurements...

Nonlinear Robust Tracking Control of an Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System

This paper develops an improved robust multi-surface sliding mode controller for a complicated five degrees of freedom Underwater Vehicle-Manipulator System with floating base. The proposed method combines the robust controller with some corrective terms to decrease the tracking error in transient and steady state. This approach improves the performance of the nonlinear dynamic control scheme a...

Robust Tracking of Human Motion

This master project presents a combined solution for two problems, one: tracking objects in 3D space and estimating their trajectories and second: computing the similarity between previously estimated trajectories and clustering them using the similarities that we just computed. For the first part, trajectories are estimated using an EKF formulation that will provide the 3D trajectory up to a c...

Planning Robust Landmarks for Sensor Based Motion

Our work is focused on defining a generic approach for planning landmark based motion. In previous works we have introduced the formal basis for this and showed simulation results. In this paper we first demonstrate the relevance of our work with experiments on a real robot. Then, on the base of these results we introduce new strategy for planning selecting landmarks in order to improve the rob...
