Machine learning techniques, including Gaussian processes (GPs), are expected to play a significant role in meeting speed, accuracy, and functionality requirements future data-intensive mechatronic systems. This paper aims reveal the potential of GPs for motion control applications. Successful applications feedforward control, identification noncausal feedforward, position-dependent snap nonlin...

We describe the motion of a droplet on textured ratchet track using nonlinear resonator model. A is composed semicircular pillar array that induces net surface tension local gradient placed it. When vertical vibration applied, hysteresis overcome, and moves toward lower energy barrier; however, due to repetitive structure texture, it keeps moving until end track. The depends amplitude frequency...

Objectives: To determine if a modified version of the cross body stretch that incorporates scapular stabilization immediately following a bout of pitching will increase passive shoulder range of motion more than the standard cross body stretch in male collegiate baseball players. Background: Overhead athletes, mainly baseball players, often exhibit pathologic gross internal rotation deficit (pG...

background and aim: tinnitus is a distressing symptom for which few treatments exist. low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) of the temporal cortex has been proposed as a treatment for chronic tinnitus. this study determined relationship between psychoacoustic parameters such as loudness and frequency of tinnitus and outcome with rtms treatment. methods: twenty six pa...

Competitive rowing is a highly aerobic sport requiring technical skills, motor coordination, adequate strength, and endurance. 2 A number of authors 3–6 have reported a significant incidence of low back pain among the rowing population. This paper identifies the factors that may influence the onset of low back pain. During the rowing stroke, the magnitude of the forces on the lumbar spine is hi...

In this project, we are exploring how to support therapists who use commercially available motion-based videogames in their therapies for people that have had a brain injury. Our exploratory work, that included interviews and observations at the Schwab Rehabilitation Hospital (SRH) in Chicago, Illinois, exposed a need for informational tools to help therapists make evidence-based decisions abou...

We present a new approach to motion rearrangement that preserves the syntactic structures of an input motion automatically by learning a context-free grammar from the motion data. For grammatical analysis, we reduce an input motion into a string of terminal symbols by segmenting the motion into a series of subsequences, and then associating a group of similar subsequences with the same symbol. ...
