ED-FNN: A New Deep Learning Algorithm to Detect Percentage of the Gait Cycle for Powered Prostheses

open access: yesSensors, 2018
Throughout the last decade, a whole new generation of powered transtibial prostheses and exoskeletons has been developed. However, these technologies are limited by a gait phase detection which controls the wearable device as a function of the activities

Terrain‐Adaptive Quadrupedal Locomotion Using Model Predictive Control With Impedance Control and SINDy Model Enhancement

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quadrupedal robots operating in unstructured environments require adaptive control systems that can handle diverse terrain conditions without prior surface characterization. This paper presents an integrated control architecture that combines Model Predictive Control (MPC) with adaptive impedance control and SINDy‐based model corrections for ...

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Research on Dynamic Modeling and Control of Magnetorheological Hydro-Pneumatic Suspension

open access: yesActuators
A novel magnetorheological semi-active hydro-pneumatic suspension system was proposed to overcome the shortcoming of the traditional hydro-pneumatic suspension without adaptive vibration damping function. It is based on the magnetorheological semi-active

Unraveling authoritarian reform decision‐making: A metacognitive–subcognitive model

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent research indicates that state reforms in East and Southeast Asia have been predominantly top‐down and authoritarian‐led. However, this significant observation implicitly relies on important assumptions about authoritarian decision‐making behavior and psychology that remains understudied.
