In this paper, we aim to highlight past successes, present work and share a vision for future advancements in robotic gait technologies that enable walking in children and youth with severe physical disabilities. We will summarize work which demonstrates how a robotic walker with a lift and body weight support system has shown great promise in mobilization, exercise and participation in youth and young adults with Cerebral Palsy (CP). This study was conducted in 3 phases; 1) a case study, 2) a pilot study evaluating mobility in a clinical setting, and 3) a study focusing on training and participation in a community setting. Secondly, we will describe the planned assessment of the Trexo Plus, a walker and wearable lower extremity robotic device combination, in younger children with significant physical involvement secondary to CP. This device allows precise repetition of normal gait patterns while controlling range of motion at the hip, knee and ankle. Lastly, we will highlight international innovative robotic work which has produced a novel robotic platform with a partial body weight support system (PBWS), active system for adapting hip height and an exoskeleton with joint motion control. A multimodal human-robot interface (MHRI) accompanies the unique walker system which assesses intent to move, posture and balance and gait patterns. This system has the potential to allow therapists to construct and precisely evaluate unique robot facilitated programming. There is a new generation of robotic devices providing the means for individuals with CP to walk independently. With a look to the future, we endeavour to evaluate and facilitate the development of this robotic technology as it is integrated into clinical care, activity enhancement and community participation.","PeriodicalId":178400,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 5th International Conference of Control, Dynamic Systems, and Robotics (CDSR'19)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129603723","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Crassidis","doi":"10.11159/CDSR19.113","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.11159/CDSR19.113","url":null,"abstract":"Control methods require the use of a system model for the design and tuning of the controllers in meeting and/or exceeding the control system performance objectives. However, system models contain errors and uncertainties that also may be complex to develop and to generalize for a large class of systems such as those for unmanned aircraft systems. In particular, the sliding control method is a superior robust nonlinear control approach due to the direct handling of nonlinearities and uncertainties that can be used in tracking problems for unmanned aircraft system. However, the derivation of the sliding mode control law is tedious since a unique and distinct control law needs to be derived for every individual system and cannot be applied to general systems that may encompass all classifications of unmanned aircraft systems. In this paper, a model-free control algorithm based on the sliding mode control method is developed and generalized for all classes of unmanned aircraft systems used in robust tracking control applications. The model-free control algorithm is derived with knowledge of the system’s order, state measurements, and control input gain matrix shape and bounds and is not dependent on a mathematical system model. The derived control law is tested using a high-fidelity simulation of a quadrotortype unmanned aircraft system and the results are compared to a traditional PID controller for tracking performance and power consumption. Realistic type hardware inputs from joysticks and IMUs was simulated for the analysis. Finally, the model-free control algorithm was implemented on a quadrotor-type unmanned aircraft system testbed used in real flight experimental testing. The experimental tracking performance and power consumption was analysed and compared to a traditional PID-type controller.","PeriodicalId":178400,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 5th International Conference of Control, Dynamic Systems, and Robotics (CDSR'19)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131048222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, lack of motivation often leads to patients’ non-compliance with their physical therapy regimen, undermining the potential advantages of telerehabilitation technologies. Embedding citizen science into robotics-based rehabilitation has been shown to increase patients’ motivation to engage in otherwise mundane exercises. Here, we explore the feasibility of bolstering engagement in physical therapy through social interactions in citizen science context. We developed an online citizen science platform in which users work in pairs to classify images collected by an aquatic robot in a polluted water canal in Brooklyn, New York. The classification involves labeling objects that appear in the images and removing irrelevant labels. The application was interfaced by a haptic device for fine motor rehabilitation. We present preliminary results for the levels of engagement of healthy users performing the activity, with and without a cooperating peer.","PeriodicalId":178400,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 5th International Conference of Control, Dynamic Systems, and Robotics (CDSR'19)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131426254","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
