Adaptive Neural Network Control of Fes·induced Cyclical Lower Leg Movements

چکیده
As a first step to the control of paraplegic gait by functional electrical stimulation (FES), the control of the swinging lower leg is being studied. This paper deals with a neural control system, that has been developed for this case. The control system has been tested for a model of the swinging lower leg using computer simulations. The neural controller was trained by supervised learning (SL) and by backpropagation through time (BTT). The performance of the controller with random initial weights was poor after training with BTT and fair after SL. BTT training of the neural controller with weights, which had been initialized by SL, resulted in good control. Training with BIT thus improved the performance of the controller that initially had been trained by SL. An adaptive neural control system based on BTT has been proposed and partially tested. The controller adapted relatively fast to the change of an important model parameter.

Neuro Fuzzy Control of the Fes Assisted Freely Swinging Leg of Paraplegic Subjects
We designed a neuro fuzzy control strategy for control of cyclical leg movements of paraplegic subjects. The cyclical leg movements were specified by three ‘swing phase objectives’, characteristic of natural human gait. The neuro fuzzy controller is a combination of a fuzzy logic controller and a neural network, which makes the controller self tuning and adaptive. Two experiments have been perf...

In this paper, an adaptive attitude control algorithm is developed based on neural network for a satellite using four reaction wheels in a tetrahedron configuration. Then, an attitude control based on feedback linearization control is designed and uncertainties in the moment of inertia matrix and disturbances torque have been considered. In order to eliminate the effect of these uncertainties, ...

In this paper we investigate a biological framework to generate and adapt a motion pattern so that can be energy efficient. In fact, the motion pattern in legged animals and human emerges among interaction between a central pattern generator neural network called CPG and the musculoskeletal system. Here, we model this neuro - musculoskeletal system by means of a leg - like mechanical system cal...
متن کاملNeural control of rhythmic, cyclical human arm movement: task dependency, nerve specificity and phase modulation of cutaneous reflexes.
1. The organization and pattern of cutaneous reflex modulation during rhythmic cyclical movements of the human upper limbs has received much less attention than that afforded the lower limb. Our working hypothesis is that control mechanisms underlying the modulation of cutaneous reflex amplitude during rhythmic arm movement are similar to those that control reflex modulation in the leg. Thus, w...

This paper proposes an adaptive control method based on the feedback linearization technique and a proposed neural network, for tracking and position control of an industrial manipulator. At first, it is assumed that the dynamics of the system are known and the control signal is constructed by the feedback linearization method. Then to eliminate the effects of the uncertainties and external d...
