Robots greatly reduce the workload of physical therapists and thus making rehabilitation sessions more effective and widely available. Various research efforts have been made in the field of robot-assisted rehabilitation. One of the key concerns of robotic assisted gait rehabilitation is gait planning and customization. In this paper, we first introduce a human gait measuring system based on binocular vision technique. Through the measuring system, gait data of healthy subjects under different walking speed are collected, which are used as the reference database for gait planning. On the basis of collected data, a method of gait planning and customization based on patients' physical characteristics is proposed. Finally, to validate the applicability of the generated gait patterns, the customized gait trajectories are implemented on a prototype of lower limbs rehabilitation robot. Experiment on healthy subject shows positive results with the gait trajectories generated by the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":286366,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115929687","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}

Moreover, multi-constraints of manipulator and the environment are introduced during the trajectory optimization. As a result, equations of multi-objective trajectory optimization are established.

In this paper, we proposed the symmetrical spiral micro robot with gravity compensation mechanism and then analysed the buoyancy and resistance of the robot in the fluid. Finally, we carried on the performance evaluation experiments of the robot in the fluid. The experimental results indicated that the micro robot has a good dynamic performance when the flow is about 26ml/min, compared to other flow value. In the horizontal direction the maximum velocity of the robot is about 30.44mm/s and 6.49mm/s in the case of downstream and counter current respectively. In the vertical direction the maximum velocity of the robot is about 10.1mm/s and 1.34mm/s in the case of downstream and counter current respectively while it is doing upward movement. In the vertical direction the maximum velocity of the micro robot is about 10.11mm/s and 1.337mm/s in the case of downstream and counter current respectively while it is doing downward movement. In addition, the flow has influence on transition frequency of the micro robot. The faster flow is, the lower transition frequency of the micro robot has.

In machining, however, it is difficult to guarantee surface quality because of the great cutting force, high cutting temperature and serious machining hardening. This article primarily researched the surface quality of micro grooves on 304 stainless steel processed by high speed micro-milling machining (HSMM) respectively from four aspects of surface roughness, micromorphology, dimensional accuracy and burr. Experimental results show that feed speed is the most important influence factor on the surface quality of micro grooves. There exist less burr on the bottom of micro grooves, burr mostly distribute in the top edge of trenches. And burr quantity and height of down milling side is greater than reverse milling side. In addition, radial circular runout of cutter has also a significant impact on the size accuracy and surface roughness of specimens, which cause larger grooves width and uneven surface roughness. This research will provide theoretical basis for the selection of processing parameters and control of surface quality on stainless steel parts.","PeriodicalId":286366,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics and Automation (ICMA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130934080","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}

For partial response signals transmitted by the civil aviation airborne secondary transponder contain target pressure altitude, the MLAT algorithm based on target pressure altitude can correct the three-dimensional positioning algorithm, reduce the dimensions of positioning equations, ensure algorithm convergence and increase positioning accuracy.
