Towards Gyroscopic Balance Assistance: Proof of Concept*
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, the feasibility of a Control Moment Gyroscope (CMG) as balance assistance device is investigated. An inverted pendulum is used as experimental set-up. Our initial results show that it is possible to maintain balance within a 4 degrees range from vertical.

متن کاملIndividualised benefit–harm balance of aspirin as primary prevention measure – a good proof-of-concept, but could have been better…
Guidelines from different organisations regarding the use of aspirin for primary prevention vary despite being based on similar evidence. Translating these in practice presents a further major challenge. The benefit-harm balance tool developed by Puhan et al. (BMC Med 13:250, 2015) for aspirin can overcome some of these difficulties and is therefore an important step towards personalised medici...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of the gyroscopic and rotary inertia effects on the chatter boundary in a milling process
Experimental examination of the gyroscopic and rotary inertia effects on the chatter boundary in a milling operation is the chief aim of this article. The equations of motion of the tool vibration are derived based on Timoshenko beam theory and Hamilton principle by considering gyroscopic moment, rotary inertia, velocity-dependent process damping and radial immersion effect. For a range of dept...
متن کاملCombining Brain-Computer Interfaces and Haptics: Detecting Mental Workload to Adapt Haptic Assistance
In this paper we introduce the combined use of BrainComputer Interfaces (BCI) and Haptic interfaces. We propose to adapt haptic guides based on the mental activity measured by a BCI system. This novel approach is illustrated within a proof-of-concept system: haptic guides are toggled during a path-following task thanks to a mental workload index provided by a BCI. The aim of this system is to p...
