Abstract A walking machine design originating from observations of insects is presented. The primary concept derived from insects is a leg used to apply force to the body without applying significant moments about the point of body attachment. This is accomplished with legs which have kinematic equivalents to ball-and-socket joints at body attachment and ground contact, with joints in the middle which only change distance between body and ground. Standing and walking with 6 legs of this design requires careful attention to static equilibrium equations but does not necessitate a control system which actively distributes forces to the legs. This paper considers necessary observational data, assumptions on which control is based, mathematical development for control and problems such as foot slip.

Different Parts

One of the most important signals in the field of biomedicine is audio signals. Sound signals obtained from the body give us information about the general condition of the body. However, the detection of different sounds when recording audio signals belonging to the body or listening to them by doctors makes it difficult to diagnose the disease from these signals. In addition to isolating these sounds from the external environment, it is also necessary to separate their sounds from different parts of the body during the analysis. Separation of heart, lung and abdominal sounds will facilitate digital analysis, in particular. In this study, a dataset was created from the lungs, heart and abdominal sounds. MFCC (Mel Frekans Cepstrum Coefficient) coefficient data were obtained. The obtained coefficients were trained in the CNN (Convolution Neural Network) model. The purpose of this study is to classify audio signals. With this classification, a control system can be created. In this way, erroneous recordings that may occur when recording physicians' body voices will be prevented. When looking at the results, the educational success is about 98% and the test success is about 85%.

Prolonged Standing

Background Studies on short-term upright quiet standing tasks have presented contradictory findings about postural control in people with Parkinson’s disease (pwPD). Prolonged trial durations might better depict body sway and discriminate pwPD and controls. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate postural control in pwPD during a prolonged standing task. Methods A total of 26 pwPD and 25 neurologically healthy individuals performed 3 quiet standing trials (60 s) before completing a constrained prolonged standing task for 15 minutes. Motion capture was used to record body sway (Vicon, 100 Hz). To investigate the body sway behavior during the 15 minutes of standing, the analysis was divided into three 5-minute-long phases: early, middle, and late. The following body sway parameters were calculated for the anterior-posterior (AP) and medial-lateral (ML) directions: velocity, root-mean-square, and detrended fluctuations analysis (DFA). The body sway area was also calculated. Two-way ANOVAs (group and phases) and 1-way ANOVA (group) were used to compare these parameters for the prolonged standing and quiet standing, respectively. Results pwPD presented smaller sway area ( P < .001), less complexity (DFA; AP: P < .009; ML: P < .01), and faster velocity (AP: P < .002; ML: P < .001) of body sway compared with the control group during the prolonged standing task. Although the groups swayed similarly (no difference for sway area) during quiet standing, they presented differences in sway area during the prolonged standing task ( P < .001). Conclusions Prolonged standing task reduced adaptability of the postural control system in pwPD. In addition, the prolonged standing task may better analyze the adaptability of the postural control system in pwPD.

Contralateral Effect

If exercises are performed to increase muscle strength on one side of the body, voluntary strength can increase on the contralateral side. This effect, termed the contralateral strength training effect, is usually measured in homologous muscles. Although known for over a century, most studies have not been designed well enough to show a definitive transfer of strength that could not be explained by factors such as familiarity with the testing. However, an updated meta-analysis of 16 properly controlled studies (range 15–48 training sessions) shows that the size of the contralateral strength training effect is ∼8% of initial strength or about half the increase in strength of the trained side. This estimate is similar to results of a large, randomized controlled study of training for the elbow flexors (contralateral effect of 7% initial strength or one-quarter of the effect on the trained side). This is likely to reflect increased motoneuron output rather than muscular adaptations, although most methods are insufficiently sensitive to detect small muscle contributions. Two classes of central mechanism are identified. One involves a “spillover” to the control system for the contralateral limb, and the other involves adaptations in the control system for the trained limb that can be accessed by the untrained limb. Cortical, subcortical and spinal levels are all likely to be involved in the “transfer,” and none can be excluded with current data. Although the size of the effect is small and may not be clinically significant, study of the phenomenon provides insight into neural mechanisms associated with exercise and training.

Active Vibration

This paper presents an active vibration control (AVC) system for trailed two-wheeled implements (TTWI) equipped with high precision electronic devices. With the aim of isolating disturbance forces to the devices, a hydraulically actuated vibration control system is devised. In order to suppress vibratory motions to the body components, considering the TTWI system characteristics, a vibration control and a force tracking control strategy is adopted. As the vibration controller, the adaptive and skyhook control schemes are applied. From full order and reduced order model for the actuating module, as the tracking controller, the sliding mode control scheme is adopted regarding parameter variations. On the basis of the roll plane TTWI system model, simulation work is performed. Finally, after implementation of the experimental setup with the TTWI system and the road simulating module considering practical requirements, actual performance of the devised AVC system is evaluated in various disturbance conditions.

Visual Feedback Control

Recently, flight control of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in non-global positioning system (GPS) environments has become increasingly important. In such an environment, visual sensors are important, and their main roles are self-localization and obstacle avoidance. In this paper, the concept of a multi-camera UAV system with multiple cameras attached to the body is proposed to realize high-precision omnidirectional visual recognition, self-localization, and obstacle avoidance simultaneously, and a two-camera UAV is developed as a prototype. The proposed flight control system can switch between visual servoing (VS) for collision avoidance and visual odometry (VO) for self-localization. The feasibility of the proposed control system was verified by conducting flight experiments with the insertion of obstacles.
