Portable locomotion activity monitor ( <scp>pLAM</scp> ): A cost‐effective setup for robust activity tracking in small animals

Vicia variabilis a Nutritive Feed for Domesticated Animals: A Survey about Cytotoxic and Antioxidant Activity

Safety and beneficence of farm animal nutrition plays a great role in their healthy life which in turn have impact on human nutrition via diary or meat products. Assessing safety and beneficence of Vicia varibilis Freyn and Sint. Which is chosen intrinsically by domesticated animals of Kohgiluyehand Boyerahmad Iranis the aim of the present work. Our results not only show no cytotoxic activity i...

FIMTrack: An open source tracking and locomotion analysis software for small animals

Imaging and analyzing the locomotion behavior of small animals such as Drosophila larvae or C. elegans worms has become an integral subject of biological research. In the past we have introduced FIM, a novel imaging system feasible to extract high contrast images. This system in combination with the associated tracking software FIMTrack is already used by many groups all over the world. However...

Robust Tracking and Human Activity Recognition

With the ever-increasing interaction between machines and humans, it has become imperative that machines have the ability to intelligently understand human behavior and modify their response accordingly. A primary aspect of human activity recognition is object tracking. While being a simple task for humans, object tracking is monumentally more challenging for computer vision systems. This work ...

A Novel Robust Adaptive Trajectory Tracking in Robot Manipulators

In this paper, a novel adaptive sliding mode control for rigid robot manipulators is proposed. In the proposed system, since there may exist explicit unknown parameters and perturbations, a Lyapunov based approach is presented to increase system robustness, even in presence of arbitrarily large (but not infinite) discontinuous perturbations. To control and track the robot, a continuous controll...
