Targeted Muscle Reinnervation for Intuitive Prosthetic Control

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The convergence of medical and technological advances has led to a substantial expansion of therapeutic approaches for patients with limb amputations. Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) is one of the strategies to improve control of bionic arms and has been applied for more than two decades. Through surgical rewiring of the nerves responsible

Validation of Neural Network Controllers for Uncertain Systems Using the Keep‐Close Approach: Robustness Analysis and Safety Verification

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The safety verification of neural network (NN) controllers operating in uncertain environments characterized by unmodeled dynamics, nonlinearities, and time delays remains a fundamental challenge in robust control analysis. This article introduces a novel method, termed Keep‐Close, for analyzing the performance and robustness of uncertain ...

Perspectives on Climate Change in Education for Sustainability: Linking Concepts and Skills for a Practical Ecological Transition

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...
